Happy Face 29 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Suppose it can't become a conflict of interest for 3 years. Seems dodgy if it does like. Do many major shareholders have stakes in other clubs, potentially in the same competitions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Clever move, get them while they are cheap. Sell on in a few years...like our players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hunbelievable. I thought you could only have a stake in one club anyway, under UEFA rules, because RA was warned off piling money in to CSKA Moscow. 38000 watching them against East Fife last night, they may be a trampy bunch of wanks but that's not bad by any standard.

New Watford owner Giampaolo Pozzo owns three clubs, Udinese, Granada and now Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy 12 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Mike Ashley is a businessman and businessmen are in the game to make money. It doesn't matter what he buys into to swell his coffers outside of Newcastle because it doesn't affect us in any way as his interest in this club is totally different as he owns this club outright...it's his baby.

sandman02uk 0 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've got no problem at all with a clever man knowing he can make a killing from those mugs north of the border, 1m to get 10% stake, then exclusive deal to sell shirts, 50k people buying a replica kit at 40sheets a pop? cheers easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they get back to the SPL (whenever that it) I'm sure 10% will be worth a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Nice - get them while they're cheap, sell them a few years later when there's a fair margin of profit to be had and reinvest the lot in NUFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bias 3 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Wonder where the extra few million for Debuchy went... It's not about the money or where it went. If we wanted Debuchy we could buy him but that would go against the policies set in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYD 0 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Fuck ! This means we'll have loads of them pricks wearing Rangers tops around the Toon while insisting that they're Newcastle fans.

OTF 7492 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Is he actually buying in to Rangers or is Sports Direct just doing to deal to sell their shirts? You'll not suvive in the media with that kind of rumour downplaying. Selling the shirts would be the most profitable part I would reckon.
