HoylandOwl Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I had seen he was the preferred bidder a week or so back. Just seen something on the news that the new owner DOES want to try to buy the stadium as well as the club, once the 85% stake in the club is purchased and ratified by the EFL.

Andyben Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Would you have Ashley buy us? I think It would work, the typical Wenzdi fan isn't quite as thick or misguided as a Geordie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers fans may disagree, but he did save them from going under for a second time on more than one occasion during his tenure in Weegieville.

KrolMong Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I’d have no issues with Mike Ashley buying us. He’d get us turning a profit within two years. As long as any promotion to the top flight is tempered and accepted that we might yo-yo a bit, I think we’d all take that within 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCraigsOwl Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Last time I checked, admittedly a few years ago now, Newcastle had posted a profit in the Premier League on a regular basis. However, they did make a loss during their most recent season in the Championship, despite making huge gains on player transfers. Therefore, "profitable within two years" would likely only be possible with back to back promotions. I'm up for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 It might be cheaper for Cov's new owners to build a new community stadium than pay Ashley's rent. They might have to anyway. Prior to the building of the stadium, the brown fields site was earmarked for a housing estate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
