Newcastle United Sale
« Previous EntriesNewcastle United Not For Sale
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010It was reported in the papers today that Freddy Shepherd was once again trying to form a consortium to buy back Newcastle United from Mike Ashley. This is pretty much news to me but the club released a statement early to quell any of this nonsense: “Newcastle United have had no contact from anybody regarding [...]
A$hley Keeps Newcastle United In Play
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Like him or loathe him, Mike Ashley is still not a popular man around fans right now but he continues to lose around £500,000 a week to to keep the club from avoiding the same problems as Pompey and Cardiff. Ironically, the man we love to hate is saving the club from a worse fate [...]
Newcastle Fans Keen To Kick Ashley Out
Friday, November 13th, 2009An audacious buy-out campaign headed by NUST (Newcastle United Supporters Trust) was launched on Tuesday to end Ashley’s reign of terror once and for all. They’ve already snubbed a proposed meeting by Llambias citing reasons that the initiative was too young to get anything meaningful from the meeting. Fair enough. Using Barack Obama inspired slogan ‘Yes We Can‘, the NUST [...]
Newcastle United Off the Menu for Shy Investors
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009We had a slight inkling that Ashley would retain the club weeks back but the Club confirmed yesterday that Newcastle United was no longer up for sale. The club article read as follows: “The Club had been trying to broker a deal with a number of prospective buyers in recent months however none of those [...]
Where’s A Beach Ball When You Need One!
Monday, October 19th, 2009Lucky Sunderland goals aside, the weekend saw another away defeat for Newcastle and leaves us equal on points but beaten on goal difference with West Brom. As much as I’m in denial about weaknesses, our paper thin squad is starting to wobble. I still have high hopes that we’ll be still in a high table [...]

Moat Given More Time
Monday, August 24th, 2009It seemed as if there was only ever going to be an anti-climax. It’s been reported that Moat will be given extra time to sort out funding from Barclays bank.We now know that Ashley favours a sale to Moat and it is unlikely that any other consortiums would be involved in this late stage. Read [...]

Newcastle United Thump Reading For Three
Sunday, August 16th, 2009Shola Ameobi scored a rare hat-trick fittingly gave tribute to the late Sir Bobby Robson. The match played out to a crowd of around 35,000 supporters and was over seen by current owner, Mike Ashley (everyone stand up) and also close by Barry Moat. The match was summed up by some characteristic spirit and grit [...]
Ashley Set To Retain Newcastle United?
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009Selling Newcastle United over the summer is like selling an overpriced dodgy motor that’s desperately in need of some new parts. To make matters worse, the salesman ain’t been too great either. For an acute business man who made millions flogging cheap sports wear, it baffles me why Ashley takes the decisions he does at [...]
