StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 He's only leaked it because it's the middle of the transfer window. Sky and pundits will lap it up when he says due to PCP messing him about they couldn't get players in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't discount it, no. But surely if the difference was £50m (as reported) a stupidly rich buyer would have been more likely to acquiesce to Ashley's demands, as it'd be a drop in the ocean for them?

The Fish 10722 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Really bad comparison that. Man City have a legion of stars, aren't in any rush and know the player has forced a move. Newcastle United can't force Ashley to sell it, Ashley is content enough to hold onto the club until his ridiculous valuation is met (it won't be) so he's in no rush either. I don't think they do hold all the cards really. Ashley does, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want the player but are going to miss out because they don't want their pants taking down even though the money is a drop in the ocean. If whoever is bidding for us knows that by making Ashley sweat for a couple of month on relegation and the prospect of having to spend they can save 50m then yes theyll do it no matter how rich they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21812 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 why overpay now and risk relegation when you can buy in the summer and save the cashola to invest in the team? ashley is the one who is sweating, as another relegation is on him. i wouldn't be surprised if he sanctions a few panic buys/loans in the next few days. stavely is sitting back, waiting to see if we stop up, before returning with an offer closer what that ashley wants.

Jintsay 2 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 It's alright lads. Dennis Wise has chipped in with some reassuring news that Mike Ashley is reluctant to sell because he only wants to sell to a buyer that is going to take the club forward and not sell to a buyer that is only coming in to make a quick buck from the next TV deal money. http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/newcastle-united/11211758/ashley-wont-sell-to-just-anyone That's a relief.

How much of the deal they’d be financing,or whether they’d return with more backing if pcp make another bid, I don’t know.

ewerk 30258 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I know they're very wealthy but if they're only part of the consortium then they're not going to fund it all themselves. You might get everyone agreeing to put in £100m total for transfers to begin but if someone decides a year or two down the line not to do that then you run into problems. But I suppose it's no worse than we are now with an owner not willing to put a penny into playing staff in his entire tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
