fitbaliketheolddays 0 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Why wouldn't Murray Park (i'ts still called that) be next on the platter? - fans have already made clear that Ibrox is a no go for any kind of sale/leaseback. Murray Park is easy - the Scottish Sports Council has a small payback if used for anything other than sporting use (believe the payback is 50k) and Greater Glasgow is expanding so much, it would be easy to get that area included in the next Local Plan as a designated housing area. I work in Local Government in planning - they could designate it at the drop of a hat, (it is an obvious chice for high value residential development if available to developers) no bungs required to officials! As an objective planner - Auchenhowie is worth 10x the land that the lady sits on. Edited September 12, 2014 by fitbaliketheolddays 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Auchenhowie (personally don't like using the 'D.Murray' reference) would make sense to be 'next-up'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,114 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Looks like Ashley won't be coming anytime soon then: http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20140912/club-statement-daily-telegraph_2281670_4138864 Newcastle United has today banned the Daily Telegraph with immediate effect following a report published in its paper yesterday (Thursday, 11th September), headlined 'Newcastle United For Sale As Ashley Eyes Rangers', as well as a follow-up article from the same reporter which appears in the Daily Telegraph today (Friday, 12th September). The reports by Luke Edwards on 11th September, and again today (12th September), are wholly inaccurate and written with the intention of unsettling the Club, players and its supporters. This is disgraceful journalism for which the Club and its supporters should receive a full and unreserved apology from those concerned. The truth is Mike Ashley remains committed to Newcastle United. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that for the remainder of this season and AT LEAST until the end of next season, Mike Ashley will not, under any circumstances, sell Newcastle United at any price. The Club cannot be stronger in stating its position on this matter. It is not acceptable for newspapers to print factually inaccurate reports that are damaging to the Club and to fail to check facts with Newcastle United ahead of publication and then expect to receive access to the Club. Newcastle United will not tolerate this and will take such action as it deems appropriate. The ban extends to all reporters working for, or freelancing on behalf of, the Daily Telegraph, as well as Luke Edwards in any capacity he may have working for the paper's sister title or on a freelance basis. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitbaliketheolddays 0 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 OOps Time - during work I misread you saying Murray Park wouldn't be next on the block (calling it Auchenhowie is just chirlish. Charles Green never had it renamed have you done it for us officially?) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
