I would just like to say that I did post before the summer that Ashley was seeking to buy Rangers. I still think this will happen, not sure of the rules about owning two clubs but I'm sure I read somewhere that he can do this. I hope he buys Rangers and sells up

Yes he can buy rangers, if we ever get back to Europe we won't be allowed to face them if also still owned by Ashley.

Well said Ed

Hope reports are right and Ashley aims to move on
But can't see him killing the Golden Goose

I had a look on the Rangers page and a lot of people seem to want Ashley to buy. bless them

Ed: thanks for the info. Seems like anyone with a few bob in the bank could acquire Gers and all of the profits that some dodo's mistakenly imagine would accrue. As I've said before,
NUFC are, and will remain so, far more profitable than Rangers. Otherwise, there'd be a long queue of chancers waiting to take them on. Simples.

Good Info Ed 7 great to read someone who knows what they are talking about

Come on then, art and vida. If two 'brains' are better than one, let the whole world have the benefit of your joint wisdom. You say that you have heard that Ashley is preparing to sell (but no source, of course) So man up, if you can, and put your reputations as know-all pundits on the line and tell us: is Ashley going to sell NUFC in order to buy Gers, or is this just another load of gobs**** from the Terrible Twins?

I guess buying out Rangers would depend on what Ashley would get from selling Newcastle. If he spent money in Rangers they would be champions league in a few years the advertising in Europe every year can't be dismissed. I am still hopeful as its the only realistic or probable way of Ashley leaving

Vic you are a disgrace to this Newcastle page
Your apathetic comments seem to be exactly what Pardew would say
Just man up and accept there are people on here way ahead if you

It seems if anyone has a similar view you have a way of saying do you want to be in my gang and like GG you are in the widerness
Just say your piece and move on Newcastle supporter no wonder we are in trouble

Ed: didn't I say months ago that NUFC was a far more profitable business than Gers even in Europe? Why, in heaven's name, would Ashley sel up NUFC, a cash cow, in order to acquire a shambles like Rangers? If he can turn a profit from both, why give the best one up? And where are the buyers for NUFC? We'll have to ask vida, who knows everythinh.

Vic I do not profess to know everything but one thing for sure I know more than you probably about everything.

I think most people understand but for the one person that does not I will say again
I heard a rumour that MA is putting his club in order because he is thinking of selling, it is something I was told by people who supposedly know & from whom I have been given information previously that became true.
It is not something that I know as a fact and I have never said MA is selling to buy Rangers although it would be graet it would be foolish but that may be a possibility.

This is a banter page & any news especially even possibly positive about MA and the team is welcome and anyone with any info is of course is also welcome to share it, but expect you Vic who has been on here a long time to not get the point or try another slant to try and belittle anything anyone writes if he cannot grasp the point.

Simply Vic you also are welcome to share banter no matter how wrong you are.

Good post there vida at number 13

We are all avid Newcastle united supporters and we all want the best for our beloved club, we have different opinions, banter and views that we like to share on this page and that's welcome. Respect everyone's opinions. This is what the page is for, and art, vida and Vic need to stop throwing the insults and start having a proper football debate

JT forget the insults they only came one way and have been answered.
Problem is a lot of people still think we are or should be in the same class as
Arsenal FC
Chelsea FC
Manchester United
Liverpool FC
We as most know are not, it is about rebuilding a depleated yet finacialy sound club and dreaming and posting positive points (which most of your posts are) and what this page should be about. However some people have been going through this for a longer than when Ashley bought the club and historiacal comments are made by fools living in the past BUT they count for nothing as this person has ripped up any history and record books and experinced players that could have helped avoid the pitfalls this excuse for a man takes as everyday par for the course.

Newcastle United as a club from a football playing point of view is in poor health and we need leadership and someone who cares about the club and its loyal fans.

Dream post and lament as you like and understand not everyone has your point of view but do not call anyone on here a Mackem Troll and gob ****** or Lituanian (the person who wrote this could have a problem with this) he should be banned for his insult smade to anyone on here.

We'll said Vida forget Vic or is it Thick
If he wants to be a pl. b that's his choice

Keep posting

Vida/art: purely football debate with no insults this time. You say you heard a rumour, well, perhaps. Let's leave aside for a moment all talk of Ashley buying Rangers (Ed has shot that one down, I think). My question for you is a simple one. Why would he put players and manager on unusually long contracts if he's hoping to attract a buyer? Wouldn't it make more sense to give them shorter, extendable contracts, so that new owners could get rid of unwanted liabilities, and install their own boss? As a supplementary, don't you think that Ashley has been getting NUFC finances into order ever since he first arrived? Didn't he try to sell up five years ago? Did you put these obvious questions to your unnamed sources? It's just my opinion, of course - to which I am entitled - that Ashley would be mad to sell up while big profits are to be had. If I'm right, and I could be wrong, then all unfounded rumours of unnamed buyers, coming from unnamed sources, are just wishful pie in the sky.

Vic you need glasses Who said what
about Ashley selling?

Art: look up five posts and all will be revealed. Your mate vida said he got good info from a believable source. No glasses required. I don't place any reliance on his info, but that's just my opinion.

Victor or what ever your name is This a Banter page man so your suggestion is we should run it past you before posting. Mad

There are people who know things and know a lot more than you. If it comes true so be it and I have seen some stupid comments on here but don't call prople Makems or anything else YOU have a habit of doing that if you don't like what they write

IM A RANGERS FAN and Rangers could be a cashcow for ashley. With 50k season tickets sold that would make back any money he would invest and ED you say the only way ashley could lose his retail and the naming rights is if Rangers go into liquadation this is incorrect mate as if we go into ADMINISTRATION then both contracts would be ripped up losing ashley a lot of money in the process as the naiming rights alone are worth 4 million a season and Rangers merchandise is worth a hell of a lot more than that. So its in ahsleys best intrest to keep Rangers afloat. u say he is earning 30 million a season from Newcastle??/ and rangers could get no were near this?? again I don't agree as when in the spl the normal price for a season book at ibrox is about 550 quid so times that by 40 that gives you 22 million JUST ON SEASON BOOKS ALONE then he would have merchandise on top of that. AND FINALLY you say he would have to spend tens of millions to catch celtic lolol have you seen the state of celtic recently??

Yeah ed lots more sets ey!!

Your missing the point ED. You seem to think Rangers are small fry when if ran correctly there is a shed load of money to be made. And the amount he would have to spend on players up here would be nothing compared to what he has spent down there! And what have I said that shows I no nothing about football? Could you explain that to me?

Ed/Ross: Ashley's a multi-billionaire and a big poker player. Could he have in mind a move (eventually) to take Rangers out of SPL and into England? Big dosh longterm for small outlay now?
