Sky Sports News ‏@SkySportsNews 2m Newcastle reserve team manager Willie Donachie suspended by club for allegedly striking a player #SSN Someone had to take up the reigns i guess!
If they're taking bets I'm having a pony on that. Also, apologies to the OP for tagging this one but it doesn't deserve it's own thread, http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-united-take-season-ticket-6678233
Mike Ashley apparently selling NUFC to Billionaire Sheikh in Abu Dhabi...not good. http://m.skysports.com/article/football/yourclub/9145544?compid=263&teamid=415
I doubt that tbh but I reckon he's buidling up to a sale ........... he wasn't at the derby and seems to have zero interest in the club except money. If Newcastle owned their own ground he'd have a better chance but they're stuck in a daft looking lopsided old ground.
Leave off the owld fellas you .......... nah, but I have now Still think Ashley's building up to a sale though ..............
I don`t. I think he`s building their hopes up (again) just to piss them off (again) he seems to enjoy doing that (again & again)
I don't think he's got any interest in selling until he's scooped off every penny of potential profit (including interest to himself) until the money he's put into the club is repaid and the club is truly debt free. Then he'll make an absolute fortune by selling a relatively big club which is debt free.
Personally, I'd like Ashley to stay forever ............. he obviously hates the fans, who can blame him, and will love taking their money. While he's there you can guarantee he'll do just enough to keep the club in the Premier League and the TV money.
Newcastle: Joe Kinnear did good work for the club, says Pardew Newcastle boss Alan Pardew claimed that Joe Kinnear did a "lot of good work" as director of football at the club and was sad to see him leave. The 67-year-old - whose resignation was announced on Monday - failed to make a single permanent signing during more than seven months in the post. Play media Kinnear exit no surprise - Shearer "I'm sad to see anybody lose their job, as Joe has - he did a lot of good work," said Pardew. "That decision was the board's. My job is actually the next game." Newcastle sold midfielder Yohan Cabaye - regarded by many as the best player at the club - to Paris St-Germain for £19m during the January transfer window. However, the Magpies failed to secure a replacement, having had a bid for Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier rejected by the French club. The arrival of strikers Luuk de Jong and Loic Remy, on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach and QPR respectively, were the only additions to the first-team squad while Kinnear was director of football. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26070045
