khay 10 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Caretaker Newcastle boss Chris Hughton believes a takeover could go through within days. After losing their Premier League status, owner Mike Ashley put the club back up for sale in May for £100million, and it is believed that consortia from Malaysia and America are currently best placed to complete a deal. And, although there is still work to be done, Hughton is optimistic that the situation will be resolved in the near future. "The feeling is that it's hopefully not too far away," he told the Journal. "Until told otherwise, I am prepared to hold the fort for as long as it takes. "But it seems like there are things going on and obviously the sooner that happens, the better it is for all concerned. Offers "As far as I know, there have been at least two parties that have made an offer and that is all I'm aware of at the moment. "I could be in charge another two days, another four days or a bit longer, but I would have thought it would be sooner rather than later. "I think the spirit is superb among the squad and the lads have been very professional in the way that they have approached things because it is obviously very difficult not knowing where we are going." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_5423899,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 He's looking out for himself, and him only. This delay suits him aslong as he's in charge of first team affairs he's still gaining the dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 To be honest I feel a little sorry for Hughton, he can hardly be blamed for being a shite manager as he never pretended to be one in the first place. No, all this fucking around and every other bit of bollocks going on with the club is down to one rather round fella and his dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
