Finding facts isn’t actually hard like, there’s this thing, it’s called the Internet, full of them it is.
His contract did start after Mike Ashley had full control. The deal was organised whilst Mike Ashley was in the process of buying the club. Oh wait, Wikipedia didn't tell you that? Shock horror! Just to also advise you that there was one other player he had to allow NUFC to buy. See if you can find that on Wikipedia.
No but its nice to see them bringing in some youth its a critical downfall. Bringing in a few rough diamonds I find encouraging.. The price to me is irrelevant its what you get and what the aims are.. Also it was 250 million over 5 years not one window.. Then go from there
Also there might be another.. One ha a permit turned down, so they're obviously in that market for more than 1.
I'm going to suggest this isn't the player nixon was referring to... He said he didn't want to give the name because it might scupper the deal.. He said he was half hoping it would stay quiet for a paper story on Sunday... Therefore coupling that with the fact we were already after other players in that market I've concluded this is not him
Ashley bought his initial stake in Newcastle in May 2007, he took majority control in June 2007. Newcastle signed Enrique in August 2007, the idea that he somehow organised it whilst he had no stake in Newcastle i.e. before May 2007, before the window opened is absolute ****ing wham. LMAO at you lot sneering at pages on wiki that merely contain demonstrable facts that hole your bullshit position, when you lap up any old ****e on Twitter. I don’t do guessing games either so if you’ve got anything else then let’s have it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6729215.stm
