Ask Mr. Hickman Nar, I'm just saying, if they saw the profit coming from a hotel & casino, why not just build the hotel and casino and save themselves £150m or whatever buying a football club too.

AgentFox 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Dont ever use that word again "ginsters" being a cornishman them words are fighting words who ever came up with the idea of using reshaped mince for a pasty needs to be shot. I think think this takeover would be a great thing for us and with what FS is saying on SSN sounds like the fat pig is sweating over his position With regards to the casino well that deal has been in the pipeline with MGM for years, I think they have been waiting on the nod from the Government to get some bill passed to allow it to be opened , good bit of business if we get a small percentage from it. I think it was originally going to be opened across the road from SJP What's he saying like? Shepherd Denies Takeover talks sounds like comical ali denying the war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 172 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 From today's independent Newcastle wait on Belgravia to announce £235m bid By Damian Spellman Published: 18 November 2006 Newcastle United were still awaiting a formal takeover bid yesterday amid claims that the Belgravia Group is ready to make its move. The Jersey-based investment group is reportedly preparing a £235m bid which would involve a lucrative property deal and up to 7,000 jobs. It is understood that no offer is imminent, although the chances are increasing. The Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd has repeatedly insisted he has received no formal offer and challenged potential investors to make their move. Both Belgravia and the United States hedge fund Polygon have expressed an interest, and the former chairman Sir John Hall has confirmed he has held talks over his holding, which amounts to around 29 per cent with his son Douglas controlling another 12 per cent. Shepherd, however, owns further 28 per cent and has shown few signs of being ready to relinquish his interest. There have been suggestions that Shepherd could launch his own takeover after gradually increasing his stake to take him close to the 30 per cent threshold at which he would have to make an offer to the remaining shareholders. Should Belgravia make a move, Shepherd and the Halls would stand to make sizeable fortunes from selling out, although the headline figure could be misleading. If the total value of the project did amount to £235m, it is understood while that would mean a sizeable dividend for shareholders, it would also include the budget for whatever investment the new owners saw necessary in order to revive the club's fortunes. The recent speculation, coupled with a £1m investment in shares by the Isle of Man-based equity fund Northcote (IOM) Ltd-Kapena Fund, has strengthened the club's share price, which stood at 70p earlier yesterday, valuing Newcastle at significantly more than £93m. Northcote bought 1,475,000 shares at 72.8p, costing a total of £1,073,800, but insisted that its purchase was not part of a takeover bid.

You can buy the framed ones that they have on NUFC.com, but they're a total rip-off - about £15 I think for the whole thing, but that's more of an ornament/display thing than anything else. I had suggested it for Cath for her £1 present party, but with the fees and that you would be better off getting a bottle of wine or something. I know you like alcohol, so I'm assuming dad does.

Jimbo 172 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Christmas deadline as Belgravia mulls over move for Newcastle Michael Walker Tuesday November 21, 2006 The Guardian Belgravia, the company in talks with Newcastle United about a possible takeover at St James' Park, expects to have made either a formal offer, or to have walked away, by Christmas. Effectively that leaves five weeks for the parties to reach agreement and, with Belgravia into their period of due diligence, City sources said yesterday that a bid is "imminent", although that means weeks rather than days. January's transfer window is a key factor in the self-imposed deadline. Newcastle and Belgravia want to have a sense of certainty going into January, with a Belgravia spokesman saying yesterday that, regardless of speculation about the value of the land around St James' Park, the primary focus would be on improving the club's Premiership standing. Despite sceptical noises from within St James' about Belgravia's true intentions - there appears to be little belief, publicly at least, that the Jersey-based company will make a bid - Belgravia stressed yesterday that any takeover could not be classified as hostile. "We are in discussions which are ongoing," a spokesman said. That has been Belgravia's stance since August 21, when it was first revealed that discussions had begun and when they were entitled to begin inspecting the books under the due diligence period. Newcastle's position, reiterated by the chairman, Freddy Shepherd, at the weekend, is that there has been no official offer from Belgravia or any other party, and even if one or more is forthcoming it does not have to be accepted. However, discussions can be at an advanced stage before any formal bid is declared under Stock Exchange rules. Newcastle are facing injury problems for Thursday's Uefa Cup visit of Celta Vigo. Damien Duff and Craig Moore will have scans today on injuries picked up in the 1-1 draw at Arsenal. Duff hurt a knee and faces a fortnight out of action, and Moore is also likely to miss the match. This leaves Newcastle with only three fit defenders for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
