SteveJ 743 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was down south today, running a project and one of our engineers - who is a Newcastle fan - stated that Newcastle is all but sold. He said that although the papers have not got hold of the full story, two potential buyers are in for it - one being Vince McMahon and the other being an Asian.He also said that friends have told him that Ashley wants to take on a new project. He was extremely surprised when I told him that Ashley was a shareholder in the Bears.I have now read that we are receiving a 'crisis loan' - is this to tide us over until Ashley sells? It certainly would not help us fr another twelve months, even if we did include next years income. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerGer 69 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Ashley "mr zero hours contracts" needs a pull through with a rusty wire brush, exploiting toerag. Oh, I don't know. I can think of one existing Rangers employee who would benefit from being issued with a zero hours contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robespierre 589 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It would be absolutely wonderful if Ashley were to buy a controlling interest in our club, although I think such a thing is highly unlikely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
