der Berliner 3,290 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 There are hurdles preventing him doing so at present but hopefully that will be the positive outcome in all of this. We urgently need investment and Ashley can provide that. The current financial structure with multi-ownership set up by CG simply doesnt work. We can see that.We need a single owner able to call the shots. It is the only feasible way forward And while it is hardly ideal, we simply need such a fall-back person these days (be it King or Ashley), as we have no bank et al who can keep us going, while we wait on moe income from other external or football related sources or funding. What is this 10% clause that is being spoken of? Why is he limited to this again? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 How much has Ashley invested into Newcastle United? We don't really need a big investment (in the long term) - we just need someone who can run us in a way where we can live within our means and right now we do not have that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we need "a big investment", we're not 2 months into the season and need £4m just to keep the lights on, we'll probably need £10m just to see the season out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If Ashley comes, will he bring Pardew with him? It would be an improvement, barely measurable but still an improvement. More likely get Joe Kinnear. Again, still an improvement but no thanks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the only feasible way forward We don't need that at all, we need reputable businessmen interested in running a proper business in charge of us and proper football men running the footballing side 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about living within our means, but without investment that isn't possible at the minute. A warning to the LSE that bills won't be paid if an emergency share issue isn't a success is kind of telling. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this 10% clause that is being spoken of? Why is he limited to this again? I believe it's an SFA rule regarding dual ownership. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Not sure mate or how accurate this is but my from London who is actually a Mackem says Newcastle are one of only 3 EPL clubs who live within theirs means. Cheers, I will have a look after. Still doesn't answer the investment question, but I expect Rab will clear that one up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Of course we need "a big investment", we're not 2 months into the season and need £4m just to keep the lights on, we'll probably need £10m just to see the season out. That is why I said in the "long term", Rangers as a club should not be seen as financial black hole as if someone like Ashley was to make a relatively small investment now (in footballing terms - I mean Arsenal just spent £14m on Wellbeck...) he should be able to stabilize the club and have us running within our means. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
