thank fuck ashley wasnt chairman when we got beaten 5-1 by birmingham we would have bagpuss as manager

nicely put, the shallowness of ambition is sickmaking

So is that the same person as Akabusi on here? Someone on NO claimed it was. Maybe if someone told me what it said I could help you?? Some bint (who according to info above is marrried to a "proper journo") has been texted by said journo confirming rentaquote will be taking over

That there skunkers is nasty and frightening, I didnt like it. Especially the Redknapp talk, I am a trifle underwhelmed. So much for the grand statement of intent I was hoping for

He floated the company, made an absolute killing as the shares were overpriced. He is now buying the company back for less than he sold it Its pissed the people who lost money on the shares off, meanwhile he now has a big bag of money AND the company.

I hope the second part of that post is true. If not then the first point has made me feel (slightly) better about the Redknapp type prospect

The best place to get accurate imformed definitive answers is on a message board. imo

Where is the "lets get it out of the way so we can move on" option

I think you have nailed it.

Thats my theory fucked then, cheers doctor

I really hope you are right. Ashley is a billionaire, hopefully this is where we find out he is going to use his cash to fund his ambitions, otherwise why would he have bought the club in the first place.

I've gone the other way - initial delight is now tempered by what looks like lack of lined up replacement. Please God not another trawl through mediocre British managers before settling. I hope the Redknapp thing is people taking the "british" remark and making 2+2 = 5 So basically those who wanted him sacked are unhappy, and those who thought he should get more time are pleased.

Thats exactly how I feel. This is now the first chance to really find out if Ashley is likely to make a good chairman or if we are looking at more of the same for the future. We are about to find out what our new owner is all about

I reckon the meeting went along the lines of SAM: We need to buy Kevin Nolan Ashley: OK Ive heard enough

Would I be guilty of Stokeing the rumours if I asked if a sex tape was involved

anybody know what is going on here?

???????

Thats hardly a fact - the courts seemed to beleive it was worth locking him for. I dont discount the posibility I may change my mind but at the moment I hope we never see him anywhere Newcastle again.

Because if he blows £30 million on shit then gets the sack at the end of the season (which in my opinion is looking likely) then, well, we'll have £30m pounds worth of shit footballers the next manager probably wont fancy. I didnt suggest he should blow 30 million on shit though, I would assume there is some sort of process where targets ae identified, the improvements they are expected to bring discussed, a level of fee we are willing to pay agreed between board and manager, and then they try and get the player signed. This sort of discusion is stupid. If we are to have any chance of any success at all there has to be a structure that can provide it. Allerdyce may well not be the man to bring success, but he certainly wont if he isnt even allowed to try and improve the team. If they genuinely dont think he can do the job they have to get rid of him. No-one is convinced he will definitely succeed, but if they arent going to sack him they have to provide him with the means to succeed. Failing that they need to find somebody they will support and install them Mort Ashley and Allerdyce all have to be in agreement with where we are, where we want to be and what we need to do to get there or we will end up much worse than we are now. If theyare going to sack Allerdyce at the end of the season because Mourinho or the like has been lined up then fair enough. We should be asking if Ashley and Mort know how to run the club in a way that will bring success, how they deal with Allerdyce will help us find out

If the squad can be improved by players that are available at a fair price, then of course Mort/Ashley/allerdyce should be trying to buy them. Why is this even a question?

I did, I wish I hadnt
