I´d love journos to outline the borderline between Sports Direct and MASH Holdings..

Underwhelmimg...

Ask the Newcastle fans..? I have looked around and it´s a kind of lesson in illusions of grandeur.. We might dismiss the fairly comical stuff like how they claim that "toon" is a club in the same size as Arsenal and Liverpool and ought to be able to compete with them on equal terms. We might just shake our heads at claims that Mike Ashley simply puts the TV-money in his own pockets and refuse to spend anything on the team. But the prevailing impression is that they will never forgive him for sacking their local heroes when they where managers. Ashley on the other hand will never forgive them for the death threats towards his family and don´t pay them any attention at all nowadays. But the fact remains that the fans still flock to watch the team and it´s a very profitable club.

Most clubs are branding vehicles for something.. PSG/Barcelona are all about Qatari interests while say Real Madrid/Man City is about UAE companies.

Tuttomercato are just rumourmongers...

Interesting times we live in... But at a guess things will be hectic the coming months

Yet another one that don´t understand the new realities.. The Llambias clearout have just begun I suspect and anyone not in favour will be shown the door even at board level.

Anyone ever paid £40 for a scarf..?

He needs some knowledge about managing a club for sure, and a former Celtic guy is a no no... but that´s it

FFS!.. How hard can it be, new owner, new investments, new brooms within the club and everyone marching to the same beat or gets kicked out. Just need someone to fork up the money

Club related meetings or..?

Ah so desu...

All clubs are required to use "tickets sold"... actual attendance is irreevant to the IRS etc

Yes or we might as well close down every academy in this country...

Looks like he´s lending them the money? "Retired businessman Les Hutchison is close to concluding a deal to help fund a fans' takeover at Motherwell. Supporters group the Well Society has been trying to raise money to buy former chairman John Boyle's 70% shareholding. The organisation said in November that it had raised £500,000 and was targeting a further £1m in loans. "

Worrying about an Ashley takeover.. or worrying about him not taking over the cub. It´s a picnic being a Bear at times

Can´t disagree with that...

Given how "they" crow about a certain loanplayer named John Guidetti.. Getting loans from an EPL club might not be a bad thing really

As I read it Llambias told Ally to look for players, even in England and not only at Newcastle... and come back to him to see if anything could be worked out

He still talks about Rangers on Twitter.. He´d love to come back I guess

Odd coincidence that he´s committed to NUFC until Rangers can possibly play in the CL? From September this year that is..

Off the radar billionaire ?... The only "off the radar" billionaires I know about are Royals or crime lords

Not a bad idea really, hoax or not...

In due time the support will, perhaps not unite but at least stick together watching games... can´t wait myself

They actually have a point in that the boycott have just made the club utterly dependant on external Money... Thus giving Ashley and others increased power over the club.
