Think back to the summer

[Ketsbaia 0]

Could this businessman who tried to buy SJHs shares be the reason why we've spent alot of £££ this summer and look to be spending even more in January? I know at the time huge amounts of shares were being bought a few days before an attempt to buy out John Hall's shares were made and it would explain why we don't seem to be looking to 'keep the powder dry' in January.

 

Is it a possibility or is Freddy just risking ruining the club financially to try and win something?

I always thought that whole story was to bump up the share price. There really is no evidence against that.

 

Hasn't Freddie been 'keeping the powder dry' for a crisis exactly like the one we are currently facing? The net spend has been pretty low for a few years so when the right player came along to replace Shearer we pounced. From the business side I think he's got it spot on. The casino looks like it will go ahead and that film was a shrewd move. He seems pretty conservative to me, I don't think he's takiung too many risks.

The investor in question was Kia Joorabchian. He was put off by the asking price on the club then moved on to West Ham, where the same thing happened.

Aye, he does a bit of plastering on the side as well.

There was no formal bid made for SJH's shares. The following was a release to the stock exchange last month:

 

LONDON (AFX) - Newcastle United PLC said 28.5 pct shareholder Wynyard (Guernsey) Ltd, represented by the English Premiership club's former chairman Sir John Hall, has not received a formal offer for its stake following the approach that was made in July.

 

Newcastle Utd said it now considers the matter closed.
