khay 10 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 If Ashley does pull this stunt of removing us from sale after the transfer window again there has to be a concerted plan of action by the fans. If the NUSC lot can get off their arses and actually do something that would be great but someone has to show leadership and start organising demonstrations and boycotts. This will not damage the club any more than having Ashley in control will do. The man is a prick and will take us down with his complete ineptitude. You're not a member are you? cool, so thats "as long as someone else sorts it out, I'll be happy". Spot on. Is it all right just to sign up give money and then hope that someone else sorts it out?

Guest alex Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I think constructive criticism is fine but I just find it hilarious when people who do fuck all expect others to. Even signing up and going along to meetings etc. is doing something imo. You don't even have to sign up but at least be constructive in your criticism.

Park Life 71 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm gloomy about a deal happening now. Presumably anybody who was genuinely interested has been messed around too much by now and time has run out with the season under way. Shearer, Moat, Shepherd, the Yanks, the Arabs, the South Africans, the Borg, and everyone else who's been linked with us will just tell Ashley to do one and we'll be stuck with the club murderer to do more damage. Hey ho. The best we can hope for is a Robert Maxwell type swimming incident in Hawaii. Tbf if the Borg were in the game it would have been all over by now..."Resistance is futile"...etc..

What's the point in using SP then you fat fucking cretin! I noticed that - either SP have "failed" to do what he asked and are trying to still get him to accept the lesser deal which is fair enough or he is basically accusing them of professional incompetence which is pretty serious.

Giraffidae 0 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I get the feeling Ashley is ‘shaking the tree’ to see whose money is behind the bid and if a Shepherd falls out then the deals off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The Independent O'Leary in frame for Newcastle as Ashley set to reject takeover bid By Ian Herbert Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is considering a move to bring David O'Leary, pictured, in as manager The prospect of Newcastle United spending the new season under the ownership of Mike Ashley and the managerial hand of David O'Leary edged closer yesterday with no breakthrough in takeover discussions with Tyneside businessman Barry Moat. If no deal is forthcoming by the end of the week – Ashley is understood to feel that Moat and his backers are £10m short – one appears increasingly unlikely with only two weeks of the transfer window remaining for a prospective new owner to refashion the side. As things stand, the odds seem set against a deal going ahead, leaving Ashley at the helm of the club and ready to turn to O'Leary. Uncertainty about the sale process is heightened by the lack of clarity about the price Ashley is demanding, which ranges from £70m to £90m, though there is a correlation between the number of players the club can get moved on, so reducing the wage bill, and the figure Ashley will expect. Ashley certainly seems to feel that Moat's offer is unrealistic, which has lessened the prospect of Alan Shearer being appointed manager – as is Moat's desire. An associate of Ashley's suggested yesterday that he might be at St James' Park for Newcastle's first home game of the Championship season against Reading on Saturday.

Kitman 2207 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Can't say I'm surprised. The longer this rumbled on, the more it seemed like we'd end up back at square one: Ashley in charge, a paper thin squad, a cretinous managerial appointment. In fact no matter how much I hate David O'Leary, the thought remains that we could do much much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentFox 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 going back a week or two when Harris said take this offer - I honestly think Ashley put his fat hands on his ears and shouted "LA LA LA I'm not listening" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe any of this, no direct quotes and they haven't even bothered with an obligatory 'ITK'. Nah, bollocks they know fuck all. Of course that's not to say the deal won't go through I just think the last few day's have been pure speculation from the media (even more than usual).

Barney 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 If someone asked the worst possible scenario a year ago, this is almost exatly what you would have predicted. Houghton as f'n manager. Shola up front. All best players sold. Money received not reinvested. Owner thinking of selling/gambling on getting promoted with Kinnear/o'Leary as temp manager and selling the club next season at a higher price. piss.
