« Previous EntriesMore Speculation Regarding sale of Newcastle United (UPDATED)
Thursday, June 25th, 2009We could be reading too much into this but the Evening Chronicle has sources saying that a highly important meeting is happening tomorrow in London regards to the sale of the club. More significantly, Shearer has been requested to attend along with club secretary, Lee Charnley.
I’m not going to speculate about this. However, if Shearer [...]
Reality Bites as Owen Says Goodbye
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009I actually had this headline saved and stored since January so it saddens me slightly that I have to use it today. Michael Owen confirmed yesterday that he will be no longer a Newcastle United player at the end of the month. No big surprise at all considering the huge wage burden he has for [...]
Newcastle United Kit Goes, err…Yellow!
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Seems like it’s become a regular thing with Away kits but not to disappoint from last year’s effort , Ashley squeezes out the yellow striped wonder. Perhaps it’s an attempt to blind the opposition into submission this season? Well, we are going to need all the help we can get with Hughton in charge I guess. Or even [...]
Newcastle United Sale Delayed
Friday, June 19th, 2009Despite Derek Llambia’s statement made earlier on in the week, the Guardian reports that any developments would not happen until the end of the month. Personally, I had a little hope that something would be announced today but I don’t think that would be the case. I did have my doubts and cynicism with Llambias’ [...]
Pre -season Friendlies Announced
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Despite the rather despairing comments from other bloggers, the pre-season friendly season is well and truly going ahead.
Leeds Utd will play at St James Park on 29th July. Interesting line up here considering the comparsions everyone is making these days between both club’s predicaments. However, this will be a good pre-season match in my opinion.
Two [...]

Llambias to open up …the Data Room!
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009Sounds all a bit Men in Black to me, but Llambias and Harris will unveil an online data room housing the full accounts of the club to kick start the due dilgence process. Consortiums and others will have to essentially prove they have the cash on hand before anyone is allowed to see any data.
Consortium’s [...]
More Consortiums Appear in the Frame for Newcastle United
Monday, June 15th, 2009With my hayfever playing up , news remained relatively quiet over the weekend. We are still hoping of word from the Newcastle board regarding the sale of the club. Today, more speculation arrived in the form of an unknown consortium from the States willing to open up their wallets. It was rumoured some news on [...]
A Brief Moment to Consider the Facts about Newcastle United
Friday, June 12th, 2009After the past few days of what’s being said about Ashley & co. I’ll give all that a rest and try to look at what we do know. Forget about the apparent appearance of a £150m bid for the club this morning , it’s been labelled a hoax.
The facts: we know at least that there [...]
How to Destroy a Football Club and Alienate People
Thursday, June 11th, 2009This evening, when Mike Ashley tucks into bed with his mug of Horlicks and souvenir Tottenham HotSpurs teddy bear. He fluffs up his pillow and opens his favourite read for the past two years: ‘How to Destroy a Football Club and Alienate People’. Here’s a few snippets:
“Don’t talk to your players or fans during a [...]
