£260MILLION NEWCASTLE WAR

if this get rid of 'barrow boy' ashley a good thing and plenty of cash for signings

I hope he brings enough Rubels to get rid of Alan Smith and Damien Duff.

omg. this cannot be true!

i would love it! LOVE IT

....bit woried if we end up like ma u and chelsea tho...600mil in debt!

While the big money men play games to outdo each other, I'm afraid only the supporters will suffer in the end. Makes one think about the economical climate at the moment and how they have a big hand in playing it.

What's that? Newcastle are signing someone and we didn't hear a whisper about it?

Quick, knock up another of those 'Ashley to sell' stories. That'll teach 'em...

Woohoo! This is great news. This is an expensive seat you know.

Hopefully this will mean Keegan gets the financial backing needed to build a World class team around James Milner.

I really hope that this is true and we can see the end of Ashley and his penny pinching bean counters.

I hope the new owner has the presence of mind to bring back Freddie, people might not like Fred but at least he delivered the 5th best team over a decade and got us our best ever CL finish, fact.

Any new owner must beat 4th, 3th, 5th and 7th place in the league or he's a penny pinching failure, double fact.

i'm a manchester united fan from India.
But, if Ambani takes over Newcastle United, I would be really afraid because whatever he has set his eyes on has become the best. (literally)
But, even with the extra cash, it will take you guys 2-3 seasons to build up and find consistency.

well i hope it's true, toon are never going to challenge for any trophies as long as ashley's in charge. He's missed a trick with newcastle, if he had signed just 1 world class player it would have raised the clubs profile in the asian market, increasing sponsorship,shirt sales etc. Ambani makes abramovic look like little orphan annie. get behind the toon, and get rid of these hangers on, wise,jiminez etc.

a great thing for Newcastle and also a bad thing. The great thing is that Mike Ashley leaves and should be banned of attending any future games. The bad thing is that yet again another club falling into foreigner rich men who dont really know or care about footy. Next stop a squad of foreigners only coming to a team for money and not for the club.

Sad news. Especially that Fat Boy Ashley will sell to the one that forks out more and not the one that has passion for Newcastle.

The money proposed here is unlikely. This will be mike ashley asking for 1% owners. If they did take over we'd have some new asian/ indian faces in the squad and historically there havnt been too many legends in football from those areas. Kevin Keegan may loose his job aswell! were building a squad here and being sensible about the money we spend. the youth team has been strongly invested in and it will be only aseason or two before we start seeing those players popping up. this is speculation not needed. just the media messing with us once again!

What, you mean Mike Ashley ISN'T gonna be "pumping £100m a year into Newcastle!" (?)

Oh I'm sooo surprised!

Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of the way he operates could've told you that loooooong before he ever took over that joke of a football club. He never had any intention of spending £1m, let alone £10m on players - not his style at all.

Sorry Toon Army, but you're sooo desperate these days that you really WILL believe any rubbish that's thrown your way. What's that, "Ronaldo 2 da toon man 4 100m maan!" - Hil-arious.

Its all pie in the sky as per usual. Investors of this kind want clubs like Chelsea, Man Utd and even Liverpool not Newcastle. I have heard the fans are loyal and passionate but I feel once Thatcher closed all the mines up there the area took a turn for the worst. Nice story to wake up to though if you are a Newcastle fan but one thinks that the reality will be something different.

bit worried if we end up like ma u and chelsea tho!!!

HAHA!!!!!

Like thats ever going to happen

Deluded Geordies crack me up!

We've waited far to long for silverwear at Newcastle utd. Lets hope whoever takes over puts there hand in there pockets and sign quality players. Lets have a good clear out of some of the rubbish we have at this club and start to build a squad that wants to play football and want to fight for there places in the squad. Most of them there only turn up for the money and thats been like that for some time now. Time for a change, a big change!!!

Good luck Newcastle!

Ashley out, these ne Asian billionaires out, we need Freddy Shepherd back. He made us the 5th most succesful eam in the country you know. He brought us Champions League football, he even brought us Souness.

Come back Freddy if you forgive us!!

Stop having a go at Ashley it's his money and who tells you how to spend your money,One things for certain a little bit longer under Freddy and Newcastle would have done a Leeds.Ashley paid off Newcastle's huge depts and brought KK back to build a young team slowly.

What a Carry On at Syd James' Park, but...
you've got to laugh at them!
Unfortunately, football is a business and no longer a sport and businesses are there to make money.

Newcastle Football Club and its fans deserve each other. The fans are the most deluded in the premiership having a big fan base does NOT mean you are entitled to win anything. The club is never going to be in the same league as Man UTD, Chelsea, Liverpool or Everton in fact none of your players are fit to lace the boots of any of these teams. newcastle united is a dressed up Wigan at best. And to top it all you are keeping that sicko barton, next thing you will be signing Barry George as an advisor. You stupid stupid newcastle fools. We are sick to death of reading about your disgusting antics of your board players etc in the papers. I probably speak for most people here and wish that next year we are reading that Newcastle have been relegated. You disgust me!!

I'm "furious". Get hapless Enrique out. Rumour has it Wise it undermining Keegan too. Shearer!

You know what, I'm past caring. I held a season ticket at St. James' Park for 8 years and I have seen the good, the bad and the damn ugly. If we do not buy new players, decent ones at that, we are going down! Look all around us, everyone is buying and what are we doing? Speculating. Toon for Championship next season if Ashley doesn't back Keegan. Simple as.

Im not a Newcastle supporter but I like them and its a shame to see them in such decline. I remember them fighting it out for the title and making exciting signings. Its a shame to see them as a mid table at best relegation candidate. The way its looking its going to be a scrap between Blackburn,Newcastle and Hull to stay up. Shame

Re comment from Keith Mills how ridiculous you are, all you can do is insult Newcastle fans. Granted Newcastle are not as big a club as man u or liverpool but are equal to Chelsea or Everton with more fans. Your comments about Wigan show what a fool you are. Do you know anything about the history of football in this country?

Maybe I'll be rewarded with the contract I deserve now.

The ancient Mayan calender is due to end on 21st December,2012.Many people predict the end of the world as we know it ending in an apocalypse, a pole shift, earth change, cosmic convergence.....whatever!
That gives us only four and a half years to win a trophy.
PLEASE HURRY UP....Toon,Toon,Black n White Army!!!!!

geordies?.....strictly small fry in the football world. Always have been, always will be. As for loyal, large, passionate fanbase, don't make me urinate myself, average league gate prior to the 'keegan revolution'....12000, some gates at 4000, similar to leeds. A one club provincial city with no divide should be pulling 70,000 but your ground like leeds' was never built for that cause you know you'll only fill it once a year when man united fill it for you. If Manchester had one club, instead of the dozen or so in its conurbation, you would be looking at 140,000 gates, united, city, bolton and oldham combined averages total 150,000. Now that, my part time geordie dreamers is a real passionate footballing area. Only London, Gtr Manchester, and Merseyside can boast this, so crawl back to your north eastern urban wasteland and keep dreaming of the odd league cup.

This is yet another example of the southern press doing it's best to destabilise NUFC.
Believe it or not but we are not deluded up here, we will struggle this season unless significant funds are made available.
The "Toon" missed a great opportunity to sack that evil b£&t*%d BARTON,we do not want him!!!!

please stay mike and bring back ruud gullit to mentor keegan, and rather than spend your hard earned cash on established players i always think its good idea to look at the local pub teams and give local lads a chance to play for their local team.

So Ashley was one of the fans was he?, wearing the XXXL replica shirt sitting with the five bellies fans. Don't make me laugh, he is just another dodgy business man on the make. Newcastle are a little team, also rans, Championship top four at best not good enough for the premiership.
Keegan is a joke, always was, always will be. What did he say this week about Barton, the world is "littered" with people who have been given a second chance!!!!!!! stupid as well as offensive

I remember the wembley charity shield in 96 (you know the one, 4-0 to man utd)United had done the double (again) and kindly invited the also rans for a charity tussle under the old twin towers. The geordies thought it was christmas, they had actually reached wembley!, sadly though this was before the dawn of sat-nav, so lots of one-eyed, three eared in breds, sorry in stripes!! on the hard shoulders near motorway signs scratching there heads, oh how we laughed at them as they were forced to follow the red army to their destination, and then be given a footballing lesson by fergies double winning teenagers. You were out of your depth then and you've flapped for survival in this league ever since, time to drop a division i think, and play with the clubs of similar stature, lets hope Leicester come up, then next year, when your down, it'll be your mouth-watering tie of the season, two clubs of similar standing going head to head.

Irwee 2 Sicily. One word RESPECT. ;) Lol

It always gives me laugh when Man U fans comment on Newcastle?? Just what is your interest. No we don't have Fergie or your millions, so what. We just want the best season for our team as all premier team fans do. You sound more like the pathetic sharks with every "do down" Newcastle posting.

Sicily, Man utd could have 140,000 fans?????

Is that 50000 from Ireland, 50000 from London and 40000 from Asia?????

Only True Blues from Manchester.......crawl back under your glory hunting rock and keave the Geordies (true local fans) alone.

Mmmm, Ashley taking 3 years of season ticket money off the fans then cutting loose.

Is this not "daylight robbery"!

Irwell, shut up you imbecile.....

1 word jealousy, all the glory hunters from "the top 4" cant comprehend how a team which hasnt won a major trohpy in halve a century can still attract a fanbase, and has a stadium, superior to their own

Irwee 2 Sicily - The same Newcastle team beat your 5-0 when points were up for grabs, not just in a pre-season friendly. ALLLBERT 5-0.

I remember the wembley charity shield in 96 (you know the one, 4-0 to man utd)blah blah blah and then be given a footballing lesson by fergies double winning teenagers. You were out of your depth blah blah blah..

Not in the next game we played against each other we weren't you doyle!

well said PABLO D hit the nail on the head.
and irwill2sicily or what every get a grip half of your gates are filled with glory hunters us geordies we define passion win or lose u try filling old trafford wen ya wining nothing!
just think if we were where the mancs are we would fill 5 sjp

am i the only person who thinks this is a bad idea, i would like to support my club and a british owner, not put more money into the pockets of people who have that much money they think buying our club is like getting a new car!

irwell 2 sicily, if u wanna take a look bak at 96, then why not cast ur memory a few months later, wen we played u in a proper match, not a friendly, and beat u, wat was the score again???? oh yeah 5-0.
it all just sour grapes with man u fans cos shearer turned them down, TWICE and u need to get over the fact tht players wud choose us over u in them days

We are interested because your one of our feeder clubs!! You are part of the cycle that sees us crowned every May!! what was it again? 6 points and 13 goals, we could do with you geordie boys after each euro away game. Your a MASSIVE club, just like City!!
Your best bet if you want some silverware is to rebuild Hadrians wall and make yourselves Scottish, but you'd still be in the shadow of the Old Firm, oh and Dundee!!

We filled Old Trafford for years when winning nothing '77 to '83, '86 to '90. Highest average British gates since mid 60's, through recessions and strikes. Where on earth were you lot before Keegan, you just aint getting it, and as for the urban myth pushed by the bluenoses about local support, how come 80,000 of the estimated 120,000 in Barca '99 flew out of Mcr Airport.

Irwee 2 Sicily. One word MUPPET.

i think newcastle should go for ambani if he is willin to spend that much and he might do somehing with the clib

unreal sad makems and mancs and the ODD BRIAN ASHFORD RUSSELL WHY????????

I have never met a team that is so in need of leadership.

Its not coming from Ashley or Keegan
Journeymen!

Irwell 2 Sicily,

Your comments If Manchester had one club, instead of the dozen or so in its conurbation, you would be looking at 140,000 gates, united, city, bolton and oldham combined averages total 150,000.

CHECK OUT: GLASGOW RANGERS & GLASGOW CELTIC, Combined gates of 110,000 +, Each Highly Succesful teams, who have won European Trophies and Countless domestic trophies.

RANGERS first team in the world to win 50 league championships. First club in the world to win 100 Trophies and still going.

Manchester United are for sure a good TEAM managed by an Ex Rangers Player and Govan Boy Sir Alex, but lets not lose site of the FACT they play in a CASH RICH league, Rangers and Celtic operate and compete in the Champions League every year on small budgets a fraction of what these junk lower league premiership teams will ever have.

Man Utd and the likes where all lying with there throats cut, no money, all the ENGLAND TEAM was playing with Rangers, the premiership has only been doing it for the last 10-15 years...we have been at it for over 130 years.

RANGERS v CELTIC, also produces the greatest derby in world football. So you go and crawl under your rock, if we could get the money the english lot get, we would rule the game...remember the SCOTS invented the GAME,
So up the English!!

the toon dont own a bean to anybody unlike man u liverpool chelsea who own hundreds of millions of pounds,as platini said he will bring legislation in to make sure teams that do not balance the books dont and wont be able to enter the major cup competitions,mike ashley cant be crtisised for what he has done at the toon we are the most healthy team in the premiership full stop beacuse of him.if ambiani wants to buy us all well and good, ashley is a businessman and if he sells and leaves us in good hands good luck to am not going to slag him off.

People with no football knowledge should not be allowed to comment. Some of the posts I've read insulting NUFC are disgusting. They obviously know nothing about football. The truth is, NUFC have been the 5th best team in the Premier League since it began. Look at the all time league table. Were 5th, even though we've played 42 games less than Spurs and Everton. Since the Premier League began, we've finished 3rd, 6th, 2nd, 2nd, 13th, 13th, 11th, 11th, 4th, 3rd, 5th, 14th, 7th, 13th and 12th. So thats 8 top 7 finishes. Including 5 top 4 finishes.
We've played twice in the Champions League, sorry Spurs and Everton (I haven no problem with these two teams) have you EVER played 'CHAMPIONS LEAGUE' football. We have the third biggest stadium in the league.
At the moment in time were not great, if we finish top ten this season then that will be fantastic. Clubs like Everton, Spurs, Aston Villa, Portsmouth are currently ahead of us, with even West Ham, Blackburn, Manchester City also ahead.
I love my team, and I like the way things are going at the minute, its going to take a while for us to rid our name of the Shepard days.
The perfect example of a professional club being run correctly is Everton, and now Aston Villa. For the past 5 years Everton have invested wisely and have a fantastic set up, and they've enjoyed success by doing this and standing by there manager.
Next season is going to be interesting, Spurs have brought in some great quality, and I do see them as a threat to the top four, but after that its up to us to try and tussle in between them clubs I've mentioned, which is going to be very hard.
Our squad is good, we have some very good players. Martins, Owen and Viduka are great, but the downfall is that Owen and Viduka are injury prone leaving us the non scoring Smith and Ameobi! Our centre of midfield is weak with no creativity, this needs to be addressed if we have any chance of making top ten. The wingers I'm happy with, Milner, N'Zogbia, Guiterrez and Duff. We also need a new top quality CB and LB.
Anyway sorry for the long post, I just get upset with fickle supporters attacking our club.

Lets see it happen first paper talk is great but not always true.
HOPE IT HAPPENS THOUGH.

"RANGERS first team in the world to win 50 league championships. First club in the world to win 100 Trophies and still going."

I'm sure Newcastle and Sunderland would have won 80% of the trophies had they been in such a constantly poor 2 team league as the Scottish league.
Winning your 2 team league means nowt. Wigan and Middlesbrough have more standing in the game than Rangers and Celtic do these days.

How come I didn't know about this?!!!!

That's it the dummies reet oot noo!

The only reason Manure & Chelski "fans", I use the word with tongue firmly in cheek, are coming on here, slagging NUFC and the Geordie nation off is that they are very, very afraid this is true. They know that they can not compete with nor match the passion and loyalty that the Toon Army has demonstrated season in and season out. (39 seasons in and seasons out!!!) If this "rather" wealthy chap does buy NUFC and invests in the team the way he has stated, these plastic, armchair, distance supporters will have their bubbles burst: will us loyal NUFC supporters, 52,000 every other Saturday, then be acused of being "glory" hunters I wonder??!! And may I just ask, what on earth is the point of coming on here and making yourself look very foolish, petty, immature and un-knowledgable and un-educated Irwell 2 Sicily? If I was a Man Utd supporter I would be highly ashamed of you, as it is, I just feel sorry for you, you and your kind are all that is wrong with the modern game, you do know that football DID exist prior to 1993 don't you?

Agreed, Glasgow is a hotbed of fervent fans, but if you finally got entrance to the English Premier League, it would be interesting to see if the attendances floundered after a year or two of mediocrity against superior sides. Sure, there would be the honeymoon period, when thousands invade English towns and cities every fortnight then head for Blackpool before getting home on Wednesday morning for the midweek home game!!, but you would soon be out of your comfort zone of a year on year two horse race. Also no Euro(champs league) qualification without a top four finish, lets face it, the Glasgow derby is only as passionate because of the religious element.

Likelihood is, we'd have another two Newcastles!

Phew When did the barcodes last win anything decent?

few rose tinted specs on here today.

Its them rose tinted specs that have led to their genuine fans gtting ripped off of late

"We filled Old Trafford for years when winning nothing"

Really??? Care to explain this..

Man United v Wimbledon
Division One 02/05/1989
Attendance: 23,368
(capacity 44,000+)

That'll be just the 45,000 Johnny Come Latelys then.....

As for Newcastle before Keegan....

1897/98 Newcastle were the first club in the world outside of the top flight to average over 10,000 for league games - 11,545.

- Newcastle are the first and ONLY club in the world to average over 50,000 for top flight and 2nd grade football (56,283 Division Two 1947/8 and 53,839 in Division One 1948/49).

1906/07 Newcastle were the first club in the world to average over 30,000 for league games - 33,235.

1946/47 Newcastle were the first club in the world to attract over 1 million for league games.

1947/48 Newcastle were the first club in the world (along with Arsenal and Man Utd) to average over 50,000 for league games - Newcastle 56,283; Arsenal 54,982; Man Utd 54,890.

Glory hunting fool!

I am a Newcastle fan and feel that if this is true and Ashley sells, its a good thing. Ashley is a business man and he has done some good business; good luck to him. He hasn't done much right, but hasn't done much wrong.

MAN UTD - Will drop out the top 4 when Ferguson leaves - He is their rock
LIVERPOOL - Are over-rated & inconsistent - Without Torres, Villa would have finished fourth last season
CHELSEA - Wouldn't be where they are now without £
ARSENAL - If Platina has his way, Wenger will have to leave because he cannot deal with English players

If we do get taken over and spend the money, we will be back up there. We've finished in the top 4 about 4 times over the last fifteen years and in the top 6 another 3 times so its not like we've been that poor.....

Actually, 52,000 home supporters every home game isn't bad considering how rubbish we are eh? Just think what our fan base would be like if we were any good and ACTUAllY won something Irwell 2 Sicily!!!! Give us 10 years and all us Geordies (including the hundreds of thousands in India, ahem) will be trying to convince the footballing world that football was only invented after 2008!!! And of course, with the billions and billions of Rupee's at our disposal think of the "proper" players we will be able to attract: I mean, when we were rubbish we could only get players like Shearer and Ferdinand and Cole and Ginola and Asprilla and Given and Owen, too name a few!!! Now there's a thought eh!!!! Ronaldo is a money and attention grabbing mercenary isn't he, he could be a first new signing!!! It would suit him down to the ground, all the publicity he would get, which we all know he loves, on top of a huge pay packet!! Oh man, could you imagine it!!! :o)

"irwee 2 Sicily"..... What a Doughnut you are.... i bet you're a glory hunter from another part of the country.... You're comments are Pathetic and Stupid.... Grow up little man.... Come back with some bloody knowledge.... Yawn!!

get in

all you barcode fans listen up very carefully!

oh dear, oh dear, here is the harsh reality pre Keegan. Do you want me to embarrass you further with Man uniteds averages in the barren years.

Oh how i've enjoyed winding you sad lot up, the truth is above in black and white boys!!

well i knew it would not take long for a mishap from sunlun to voice her opinion. toon now have finacial stability not like other clubs where all there debt it on them if owners pull the plug. I.E man u, chelsea, liverpool.

ashley has pumped more than £260 million into club with buy outs players debt he aint gonna sell for anything less than £400 million easy

as for teams with there own debt i would love nothing more than to see man u, chelsea, liverpool and the mackems all have points deducted when there forgein investors pull out there is clearly dodgy dealings going on at he bridge and as for the stadium of plight who is mr quinn sucking for all these euros to buy over the hill parcels of *****

barton v diouf this season should be fun!!

RANGERS SOCCER KREW get in there lads toon and rangers are to alike both hate celtic and man ure

some brain dead idiot was calling keegan and ashley above and for the london press 1 question what were we when we were first in prem????........yip the entertainers! YOU gave us that name i have the feeling you are all scared it might happen all over again in abt 2-3 years

Im pleased for all the True NUFC fans tbh... im not a follower of any footy team tbh (from Derby what do you expect lol) and prefer to see all clubs do well although my passion is ENGLAND mainly :D the investment these guys are willing to put into the club can only be a good thing, business men like these are exactly that.. businessmen , there to make a profit, theyve been about long enough to know where to lay money down and recuperate it, NUFC has long since been a team not to underestimate at any time , like most teams they have their highs and lows, good and bad seasons .. its at times when they are low the real steadfast fans stay loyal, keep their heads held high and keep the faith in their club and their capabilities, for outsiders to post comments like above insulting a club they do not follow merely to raise a reaction is pathetic, childlike and immature.. sorry to have ebbed away from my main comment which was, i hope and feel these new investors are for the greater good of the club and will bring in a few "better" (sorry dunno another word , no offence) players that will enliven NUFU's gameplay and take them back up to the heights previously known ;) i only hope that with the cost of the players doesnt yet again mean even more raised ticket prices which the fans have to incur.. and thats for all clubs not just the toons :D

Irwell 2 Sicily: thank you, thank you, thank you for posting the hard facts and evidence: even though NUFC hasn't won a major trohpy in 39 years we have STILL managed to massively increase our home game attendance and fan base!!! WOW, what a fabulous bunch us Geordies are eh? Now, imagine what we could acheive if we actually won something eh? It does prove another fact doesn't it Irwell 2 Sicily, Manchester is far bigger place than Newcastle and apparantly MUFC is the best and most successful English club ever, (post 1993 obviously, cos thats when football was invented remember) but yet, you just manage to get slightly bigger home support than us and with all your success??!! Would you care to explain that please? And be very, very careful trying to win an argument using statistics Irwell 2 Sicily, as statistics show 95% of statistics are made up!!! :o)

Yes, football did exist prior 1993, and Man Utd hadn't at that time won the league for 26 years, yet still pulled the highest gates for every one of those years, therefore disproving and ridiculing the glory hunters myth.

In fact, this repeated quote aimed at Man United fans by the geordies transpires to be purely hypocritical, look at your gates prior 1993, doesn't appear that many of your lot knew it existed does it.

The comment 'Jonny come lately' clearly needs changing to 'geordie come lately'.

I wonder how many of these 'loyal passionate geordies' posting on here were one of the pre 93 minority, they and only they have room to comment.

Which ones were there when i conga'd on their terracing in a cup tie early 1990. They hadn't filled their ground that season til the red army were in town, United had won nowt since 85 yet we were still the plum draw as the full house, against that years miserly 20,000 average testifies.

Sorry guys, the insults are over, the facts are plain as day, you have been exposed to brutal truths and you clearly didn't like it, hence the responses, but you all took the bait, hook line and sinker.

I rest my case.

Irwell 2 Sicily

I'm afraid like most Manure fans you live in a rather ignorant fantasy world. Care to post factual dates and fixtures for these attendances you claim? Obviously not because as anyone with some sense will know you're just throwing random numbers around in the hope that nobody will know better. Here's a fact for you, Newcastle United have the sixth highest average attendance in English Football history at 31,038. Manures average is an astronomical 5,000 higher ;) So I suppose if Newcastle were getting gates of 4000 at times then logically Manure must have been getting gates of 4600 in there time yes? going on all time average comparisons..

Irwell 2 Sicily do you actually read the posts on here???? Each and every time you post you contradict your last post - its hilarious!!! Donnie, brilliant post: actual and factual but will obviously confuse the life out of Irwell. Love his line: "you have been exposed to brutal truths" - thats ones going to keep me chuckling all week!!!

For years NUFC supporters have been treated as financial cannon fodder,by several club 'owners'.Will this ever change?

If ambani does take over, newcastle united will have atleast 10 million more fans , primarily from India.

And i cant even imagine the heights he can take Newcastle to....
