Delmary Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 (edited) Well Im not going to say who it is, but from the diggin I have done, yes they have money, yes they have prominent commercial experience so I would hope they are capable of helping us "kick on". The question of I would be happy, well Id be happy with anyone at the moment. But saying that it will be down to Fry to make the choice of the options avaiable and not the fans. But Im hoping the fact that MLT is on board is a good sign.I appreciate you don't want to reveal who it is but can you give us an idea of their wealth? Are we talking £500M?

paulwantsapint Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 If is true that MLT is involved with a bid anyone think that as in biblical times THE FATHER Sir Ted has sent a favourite SON MLT/GOD to save us or was that ostlund as jesus? But if MLT does get money men will we finally retire the no.7 shirt as it hast had a True Saint inside it since the great man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 what does the thread title mean, he was on SSN confirming he was involved!!! Im confused!?!?!? Sky Sports News reported that MLT had confirmed he was involved with them. That's all I'm hoping for an announcement this coming week, now that football matters are done and dusted so no risk of disruption. We need a really good pre-season, which means getting contracts, transfers in and out, a new manager and other such nice stuff sorted ASAP. We can only do this with a new board in place. I fear if this drags on too long all the above will eat into pre-season and the manager will not have enough time to assemble a squad and get them comfortable and used to each other. We have seen the affect this can have many times in the past, with Lowe not wanting to spend that extra months wages to get a player in early.

Dicko Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 If MLT ends up on the board & this consortium has money - where does that take us with a potential new manager? It's no secret MLT is still mates with Shearer & Dowie If Newcastle go down, you'd have to fancy Dowie's chances of getting the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no secret MLT is still mates with Shearer & Dowie If Newcastle go down, you'd have to fancy Dowie's chances of getting the job Rumour I heard a while back was that 1 of the parties interested in us had Shearer lined up to manage us next season should they take over. I heard this before Shearer got the toon job and figureed it was just a rehash of previous rumours. Shearer's contract is only till the end of this season so I suppose its still a possability. Will wait and see what happens before i get excited or hacked off about any of the many rumours though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Ron Posted 4 May, 2009 Share Posted 4 May, 2009 Shearer's doing a great job at toon isn't he,with Dowie helping him it would seem. Need a serious candidate, no more amateurs please. Yep agreed, you have to work with the players you have..21 used in 5 games and going by yesterday they are rubbish. Ok Liverpool were awesome but my daughters team defend better than Newcastle. You organise and build from the back, get people attacking the ball but they do neither. A good manager would have that as first priority. One shot in the whole game..off target. Boothroyd, Cotterill or Pardew for me all experienced and no point in wasting money in compensation to other clubs managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70's Mike Posted 4 May, 2009 Share Posted 4 May, 2009 new manager must be someone with experience of league 1 plus must have an eye for a non league player, whoever takes over, imo, is not going to have lots of surplus cash to invest in players. we should forget the names and look at the Tisdales and Knill's of this world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
