Big Sunday: NUFC deal within a fortnight?
Posted on June 6th, 2009 | 44 Comments |
The Daily Telegraph is today reporting that a meeting on Sunday (tomorrow) may determine the future ownership of our godforsaken club. Telegraph newshound, Duncan White reports that Ashley’s advisers are set to meet with a group of local businessmen interested in buying Newcastle United. He goes on to write that Ashley is looking for an offer in the region of £100 million, a figure already widely reported. Another report however, has suggested that the figure in this case may be closer to £80 million. As to whether any of the “local businessmen” were fan favourites, “Fat” Freddy Shepherd or Douglas “weaselface” Hall, it didn’t say.
It has been previously reported (in the Daily Hate Mail) that the local consortium had Middle Eastern backing, though this does sound rather far-fetched to say the least.
White goes on to report that “Sunday’s meeting should determine whether these local investors, whose identity has yet to be disclosed, have sufficient funds to complete a takeover”. He also suggests that if the talks are succesful, hopes are that a deal could be struck within a fortnight.
In the meantime, Alan Shearer continues his holiday in Limbo Portugal.
If Hall and/or Shepherd are involved i want ASHLEY TO STAY!
