@yourservice 67 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 THE tug-of-war for Newcastle may have been sparked by a tug-of-cash feud between deputy chairman Douglas Hall and his ex-wife Tonya. Hall and his father, Sir John, have sold the family’s 41 per cent stake in the club to billionaire sports entrepreneur Mike Ashley. A source told the Daily Express: “Tonya has to be paid off and that has just been sorted out in the last week or two. “To be blunt, Douglas needs the money.” Sir John said: “We had probably run out of ideas a bit, but I am sure he [Ashley] will take Newcastle to where we want to be.” Ashley has been invited to “an early meeting” with the Newcastle board next week.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Sir John should disown Douglas. Didn't he rack up £40million of debt at Cameron Hall when he took over? Clearly hasn't inherited his fathers business acumen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Gotta admit, his ex-wife must have got a nice deal if he had to make over £50 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
