Given's a crap captain. We need someone who'll shout at people. Or threaten to stub cigars in their eyes for example.

Takeover Latest

Mike Ashley now owns 51.52% of the club so he effectivly runs the club now. Shepherd's shares are set to go through soon which will take him to 79%. Once Shepherds shares go through he is expected to delist the company and make it private again as he will own over the required 75%. Once he gets to 90% he is obliged to go for the remaining shares.

He has already made the offer. Once he has over 90% the owners of the last reamining 10% are obliged to sell to him.

Btw can we change the thread title, every time i read it, it sounds like 2 fat men raise a chicken ship.

How about...

Newcastle United Thread 07/08 - New Owner, New Manager, New Era.

[BrianD]

couldn't we have just kept the thread title as simple as possible?

I'm happy with our fixtures, aprt from the Chelsea game at the end of the season, would have preferred if that was much earlier, but otherwise I don't think we have done too badly.
