ozzmeister Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Newcastle (if you believe reports) can seem to wrap up a takeover in a matter of weeks and our continues to drag and drag and drag! Dont get me wrong I am in support of Fry and understand how hard his job is (being in that industry before myself) but the ongoing saga is begginning to get a bit annoying now! If it drags for much longer we are missing valuable prep time, potentially loosing good players who want to stay and possibily missing out on good players. Lets hope today is the day huh!

Frank's cousin Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Their deal isn`t done yet. Indeed, all they have is two offers that match the 100mil sale price - no due dilligence or legals begun yet - and that could still take weeks or months to conclude....

trousers Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Newcastle (if you believe reports) can seem to wrap up a takeover in a matter of weeks and our continues to drag and drag and drag! Aren't they more or less in the same position we were in May 2007? i.e. not been in the Championship long, not in Admin and a (supposedly) rich potential owner knocking on the door? And we know what happened next.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintjay77 Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 If we had 1 owner that was willing to sell we could maybe have had a buyer long before going into admin. We didnt though, we had 3 owners who all thought they knew best and none wanted to be proved they didnt or let the others get any glory. Now we have the administrator acting like the 1 owner and even he is not finding it that easy. The toon as just going through the same as us but they are on the right side of Admin and doing the same things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 It could be done for Newcastle soon. Let's not forget that due dilligence isn't needed for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo's a pansy Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 It could be done for Newcastle soon. Let's not forget that due dilligence isn't needed for them. What ? Is there a special get out clause that you know of that allows them to not have to go through DD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 What ? Is there a special get out clause that you know of that allows them to not have to go through DD ? It was a reference to the fact that Mike Ashley bought them without going through due dilligence. Because he's a cretin. Due dilligence is not a legal requirement, but common sense when going through with a transaction that large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle have been up for sale since September 2008. So if by "a matter of weeks" you mean "ten months" then yes, it is amazing they have done it in a matter of weeks. It's frustrating ours has dragged and dragged over, er, four months. Oh, now it is all "wrapped up", who has bought them, by the way? I think I missed that on the news.
