Mike Ashley

[Kristoffer]

Kinnear har ihvertfall forlenget kontrakten med en måned. Han bekrefter også at klubben er i samtaler med noen. Hvem vet han selvsagt ikke noe om.

[Tommy Sten]

Ryktene vil ha det til at det er dekk-kongen Tommy Sharif som skal ta over klubben

[ScandinavianMagpie]

Da vil jeg ikke se en eneste Newcastle spiller som glir! Festet må jo bli ufattelig bra hvis vi får en dekk konge inn i klubben

[Joakim]

Tar heller imot Røkke enn Tommy Sharif...

Tar heller imot Røkke enn Tommy Sharif...

Tror det greieste er om rike nordmenn holder seg unna engelsk fotball

[Joakim]

Tja, Wimbledon kan nok stå som et godt eksempel på det.

[Frode]

Begynner å bli meget lei nå! 

Kan ikke Ashley bare selge klubben slik at vi kan få på plass en permanent manager og trener team. Slik at vi kan se litt lenger frem enn kun èn mnd av gangen! Slik det er nå er det så langt ifra optimalt både sportslig og økonomisk, håpløst er det slik vi blir styrt nå, om det i det hele tatt er noen som styrer.

Bytt ut eier, bytt ut styreformannen og resten av styret, og til sist skaff oss da for pokker en permanent manager.

Kjedelig situsjon det styret, Ashley og Keegan har satt klubben og oss supportere i.

[Joakim]

Helt enig i dette.
Ashleys menn har satt oss i en uholdbar situasjon, og vi er nå avhengig av at han selger seg ut så tidlig som overhodet mulig. Og helst enda litt tidligere.

Save Newcastle
1) Over the next few days we will be contacting Keith Harris at Seymour Pierce who is handling Mike Ashley's affairs.
2) We have had extensive legal discussions exploring the best structure not only in law, but in tax regulations. We will be making a decision as soon as we are certain of the correct form. This is why we have been guarded.
3) We are contacting major investors/partners who may want to become involved directly or indirectly as an individual or corporatively, with either financial help, publicity or professional advice. Some have already indicated such.
4) We will continue to raise awareness of our scheme to buy the club for the fans and continue to seek pledges.
5) We have spoken to a well known Newcastle fan for him to become what Socios call "no 1 fan". This person is interested but needs to see that the fans are behind this and that we are a credible outfit which is demonstrated by setting up using the correct legal framework.
 
This is a common theme, many want to be involved but want to see that we the fans are backing it first and that we, Newcastle Fans United are expediting things in the correct and professional manner.
 
This is not a process to be rushed through. Many of you have very kindly pledged your support. We have invested many hours of our time to bring this to fruition. The people involved are very highly paid professionals who also have other business interests. As a team, we are well placed to do this. However, you must please realise that it takes considerable effort to put everything in place just to start this off. It will take even more effort to do this, but please be assured, we are confident we can do this. We need to make sure that when it happens, we can manage the club, not just financially, but again in the correct legal manner. We are trying to pre-empt any potential pitfalls in the collection phase, the buying phase and the running phase.

 We know it may seem like a scam or confidence trick to some people and that you want to believe but you can't. As we said we can't release the plan until we are certain what is the best way to do it. In the meantime, we are gaining momentum in other ways. For example, we had some of the top business leaders' personal emails delivered to us by our contact in Barcelona. We will be contacting them directly to gauge and elicit support for this. We have private investors wanting to join in, however, some want to have a controlling interest and we have to do what is right for everyone. This is a massive responsibility made harder by unhelpful comments in the media and on forums.

Fy faen så lang tid dette skulle ta. . Blitt nesten helt stille i media også ang. dette. Nå forventer jeg at Ashley selger snart, det er det eneste som kan redde klubben. Jeg driter i hvor mye Ashley får, og tror det er dette som tar tid. Rykker klubben ned så taper kanskje Ashley på et salg.

[Tommy Sten]

Prisen har vel blitt satt til rundt 300 mill for en god stund siden, så det er vel ikke det som tar tid...jeg tror heller fordi det er flere interesserte kjøpere

Fansen ønsker møte med Ashley å de som har med salget av klubben å gjøre. Spennende å se om selveste Ashley tør dette.

Kinnear reveals Newcastle 'D-Day' 
 
Newcastle United's interim manager Joe Kinnear says the club's future will become clearer after their trip to play Chelsea on 22 November.

Owner Mike Ashley put the Magpies up for sale in September but, despite reported interest, there have been no firm bids for the St James' Park side.

Kinnear said: "I know that after the Chelsea match it is D-day. After that it will all be revealed.

"Either the club will be sold or they have changed their minds."

Until his side travel to Stamford Bridge, Kinnear's own future remains up in the air.

He has been at St James' Park on a rolling monthly contract since 26 September but knows a new owner could signal the end of his regin.

And the former Wimbledon and Nottingham Forest boss admits he has no idea who the potential buyers of Newcastle are, or whether the club will end up being sold.

"I've always said I would honour what I do," added Kinnear.

"In the short term I will do my best but it might get sold under my feet. We've had Russians and South Africans but nobody has stepped up. But your guess is as good as mine.

"Myself, Mike Ashley, (executive director, football) Dennis Wise and (managing director) Derek Llambias will all sit down and talk."

Kinnear, however, also wants to know if he will have money to spend in the January transfer window if the current regime do keep control of the club.

The 61-year-old explained: "I have asked if there is a 'game plan' if the club isn't sold. Obviously if I do stay I would like finances."

And he feels the club's future needs to be sorted out as soon as possible.

"We need to have clear-the-air talks," Kinnear added. "That would be good for all of us. Myself, the players, the fans and everybody associated with the club."

Jeg får en stadig dårligere følelse.
For hver dag som går blir jeg mer og mer redd for at Ashley ikke har funnet en kjøper til den "rette" prisen, og derfor velger å bli sittende.

[ratatosk]

Hva kan vi forvente oss i Januar om klubben ikke blir solgt?

Ser for meg 3 ulike muligheter:

1. Ikke gjøre en skit, og bare håpe Newcastle ikke rykker ned ettersom det selvfølgelig vil redusere verdien av klubben betraktelig.
2. Kjøper inn noen spillere som akkurat forsterker laget nok til å klatre noe på tabellen, i håp om at en positiv flyt for laget skal lokke til seg kjøpere som betaler hva MA ønsker for klubben.
3. Handler inn gode spillere, satser på gode resultater og på å vinne fansen tilbake, og muligens dropper salg av klubben.

Frykter og tror det blir nr 1 , håper det blir nummer 2
