lol cool what a loving disaster

The Press Association posted:

Newcastle’s search for a replacement for manager Rafael Benitez will be dictated by the state of play in Mike Ashley’s efforts to sell the club.

Press Association Sport understands the Magpies’ owner is seeking clarity on the progress being made by interested parties, principally Dubai-based Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with which his representatives have been holding talks in recent weeks over a potential takeover.

At best, any conclusion appears to be several weeks, if not months away and that could mean appointing a manager on a short-term basis.

But if Ashley decides there is little prospect of a sale going through, he faces a very different scenario.

amazing that people still fight ashley's corner

that dj who works in dubai reckons there'll be a statement from bzg in the next day or two. it's the same guy who said they'd be releasing one a few weeks ago, which came later that day

he reckons they're still keen but knowing us it'll be them saying they're not interested anymore

I think someone mentioned it briefly here but he's got rangers so far hosed regarding merchandising that for every £10 spent on their merch, the club as it is now only gets 14p

it's was posted on one of those fan run news aggregator twitter accounts so it could be bullshit, but it wouldn't surprise me

So this could be preparing for a sale or just tidying things up the only really interesting bit is that the security for one of the loans was all the clubs trademarks. Maybe he intends to keep them all after a sale? Who knows I just want him to gently caress off

It's a shame that the time spent negotiating with him and Mata stopped Woodward from getting the Herrera and Moyes extensions over the line.

A lot of clubs sell the staged TV payments to Barclays at the start of the summer to get a lump sum of cash to work with.

It was 4p

quote:

A Guardian analysis of the Rangers accounts last month suggested that the joint venture with Sports Direct, Rangers Retail Ltd, had paid the Scottish Championship team dividends of about £559,000 since the deal came into effect about four years ago. During that time, the Rangers store had taken more than £13m through its tills from fans, while a previous retail deal with JJB Sports saw the club receive an initial payment of £18m, with a guaranteed minimum annual royalty of £3m.

Rangers still can’t use the club shop or old website.

The court case is still going on and had a multi year obligatory matching clause

Ashley can choke

To be clear the deal with Hummel is that they sell kits directly to The Elite Group & JD Sports to sidestep the matching and gently caress knows if it’s legally viable but it works for now
