Saw that that this morning too. As the person who I think had the biggest influence in our initial PL downfall I really would have to consider not going anymore if he came within a mile of Barrack Road.

From past experience Venables is out for one person - himself.  He nearly took Palace down financially years ago by offering to 'rescue' them football wise, and failed btw.  But insisted on fully settlement because his legal bods were better than palace's.

If he does go to Newcastle they had better make sure they are covered legally otherwise he will cost them a fortune just for walking away when things don't go right.

Sorry if this sounds like anyone else we know.

The words frying pan and fire spring to mind.

And he's a cockney - it'll end in tears

Can someone explain to me why anyone in there right mind would pay £400million for Newcastle United,Mike Ashley bought the club for £150m and paid off another 100mil debt so that is 250mill if my maths is correct.The club is currently in the worst state it's been in for over 5 years our star player is entitled to leave the club for free at the end of the season the fans have finally started to lose that blind faith that we've had for so many years and we're in serious trouble of getting relegated this season.Yet, Mike Ashley is recieving interest from a few different parties to pay 400 MILLION for the same club that was a 150 million cheaper a year ago and in a better position than it is now,it would seriously worry me whoever did take if over if they're crazy enough to pay this amount, especially with the current financial problems.I really don't understand what the hell's going on at the club I love and am bemused at the price tag he's put on the club yet we seem to be getting strong interest to buy,it doesn't make any sense to me?

From what i have seen that there is no way on Earth he will get 400m for Newcastle. 300m seems to be closer to the mark

Some very rich people out there, who want a nice play / business thing.. I really hope Newcastle get a buyer, and a Long term decent manager, the fans deserve some stability.. the only good thing about Newcastle now is that they are keeping Raffa and liverpool out of the papers..

I dont think he will get that much though tbh, probably about 300 mill

[mondatoo]

Supposedly the nigerians only have 350 mil and are trying to raise the rest as he won't go below 400,the are looking for more investors which would suggest they're interested and willing to pay the 400.

Even if it was 300 how on earth is he managing to make a 50mill profit on the damage thats been done in the last 12 months.Surely the value of the club has gone down not up ?

at a guess I would say removing the debt has made it more attractive as an investment. I would also venture to guess that this was probably his plan from day 1.

60% ROI FTW.

[mondatoo]

But surely the removal of the debt is just added on to the value of the club i.e he only paid 150 + 100 debt making the value of the club 250 - 249.9* million due to the club now being in a right state and will be in big trouble if things aren't sorted soon



*I have to joke cause I'm going crazy with all this shit but seriously It should knock it down by 25-30 mil imo seen as he no longer has an interest in keeping the club and is quite clearly not welcome

Im hurt that Mond and Rooky havent congratulated Spurs on last nights victory, poor etiquette imo.

LOL I would have if they hadn't of played nearly as bad as us, but they were terrible also although I expect you will come good over time and finish top half again.

it impacts the current expenditurem current & future P&L and the balance sheet, so it is a bit naive to just make a simple calculation to get the current clubs value.

in addition to this I would reckon the value of all premiership clubs has been lifted by the introduction of the Arab angle. Any "sleeping giant" with a big support has to be ripe for takeover by the megarich.

[Matt50]

Joe Kinnear just been named as the new manager!!!!

Didnt Dennis Wise play for a team that he managed once?
