According to today's Guardian, Llambiarse has revealed that there are three bidders (well, to use his words "more than two" - that's the numerical skill that got him a job in casinos) who have met the £100 million asking price, but who are now trying to knock money off due to our £40 million overdraft and £65 million wage bill. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality etc, this process could beA Month Of Saturdays: June 2009
This essentially being a monthly round-up of news concerning Newcastle Utd, it should be shorter than your average Bigg Market lass's skirt. Quite simply, there's been very little to report at all over the last four-and-a-bit weeks - nothing much more than the fact that the fixture list was published, confirming that we really are in the Championship and that it wasn't all just a bad dream, andSeriously, wtf!?!
Did anyone honestly see this coming?Even our former number 10 suggests he wasn't expecting Taggart to pick up the phone and invite him for breakfast.Presumably they discussed the move over two cans of Special Brew and a well-thumbed copy of the Racing Post.Anyway, Owen has a new home and unsurprisingly it's at a Premiership club in his beloved North West. I just thought it was more likely to beBack to work
Pre-season training began yesterday, with the Currant Bun reporting that everyone - bar Peter Lovenkrands, released by post - at least had the decency to turn up. Mind you, Oba Martins decided a reported £5000-a-week pay rise wasn't quite enough to guarantee his punctuality, arriving twenty minutes late.Chris Hughton once again found himself in the role of ringmaster, while ASBO "gave a cheeryBetter the devil you know?
Having, yesterday, bemoaned the apparent inactivity around the club, we're today confronted by a BBC is report that Fat Fred is heading a consortium who are preparing to lodge a £60 million bid for the club. Given that he personally made more than double that when he sold his shares to Ashley, that's not a bad bit of business for Fat Fred.I'll be honest, despite all my frustration at theAll quiet on the North Eastern Front
With two days to go until pre-season training begins for our Championship season, there is depressingly little news coming out of St James Park.With Hughton and Calderwood reportedly taking charge of pre-season, and with only Owen, Lovenkrands, Viduka and Edgar so far out the door, there really is precious little to report.What's frustrating in all of this is that there is still no news on theStrip tease
Our new away kit. Bloody hell. As if pulling on a Newcastle shirt wasn't already a source of shame and public humiliation. Clearly it's been decided that if we're going to play in the Championship then we should at least be dressed like a Championship side. The official site declared the strip "stylish". Either the club is scaling impressive new heights of denial (expect an insistence shortlyCounting down the days
It hardly counts as news, but Little Saint Mick can't wait to get the hell out of Toon. "I can't see me staying at Newcastle. I'm still a Newcastle United player but only for a matter of weeks."Our end-of-season nemesises Hull City have been the first club to declare a real interest, with Phil Nut-Brown blabbering: "He needs to spend a high percentage of next season's games at the highestBlogwatch
Unusually for Newcastle Utd, it's been a bit of a slow few days for news - so let's take the opportunity to direct you to Black And White Toon, a new site very much along the same lines as ours (though with considerably better use of the sidebar...).The site's author David has already broken ranks to give positive (if tentative) credit to Mike Ashley for reportedly agreeing that the spine of theAway days are here again
The fixture list for the forthcoming season was released today, and once again ours makes for familiar reading.First match of the season? Away (to West Brom, my tip for the title).Boxing Day? Away (to Sheffield Wednesday).Last match of the season? Away (to QPR).So, no home comforts when we might want them most. Still, at least the computer hasn't made us go to Plymouth's Home Park on a TuesdayA little less more conversation and a little more action
That was the plea from The Xisco Kid in a recent interview given in Sweden, where he's representing Spain in the European U21 Championships. Choicest quote?"For players, when you train well you expect a chance, but I got nothing. There was no communication between me and Kinnear, nothing. He never said you have trained well, or you have trained bad, or you have to be like this or that. Never.INot a lotta bottle
It's hardly news to report that Dave Whelan is once again shooting his mouth off about someone at our club - but, just for a change, it's not his old business adversary Fat Mike who's getting it in the neck. No, it's poor old Little Saint Mick instead.Asked if he'd be interested in signing Owen when his Newcastle contract expires, Whelan said no: "One, he’s too expensive and, two, has he got theNew faces
By way of preparation for our forthcoming Championship campaign, I've added to the side bar fan sites for two of the teams we'll be facing:Hob Nob Anyone? (Reading)Serendipity (Plymouth)As ever, if you know of any decent football blogs or fan sites - or if you run one yourself - just let us know via email or the comments box and we'll take a peek.(Thanks to Rob and Lloyd for the links.)Going for a Bassong?
Fair play to Sebastien Bassong - he's waited a respectful amount of time before making it known (via a source in the Guardian) that he wants to leave, "devastated by the madness at the club". There's not likely to be a shortage of interested clubs - good news for the money men, and for us too I suppose, though his departure will be tinged with disappointment.As the Guardian article rightlyRogues' gallery
It's not often you come across an agent speaking sense, particularly at this time of the year - but that's just what Barry Silkman's been doing on the Guardian site, when invited to speculate as to what fees we can realistically expect to get for some of our supposedly Premier League players.On Alan Smith: "Give him away. Newcastle over paid. He’s had a few injuries and it’s such a shame his£100m for the club, but what price dignity?
Has it really come to this: Fat Mike so desperate for bidders that he's pleading for the submission of offers by email on the official club site? A word of warning, Mike, because you're clearly daft enough to need it: don't go getting excited when your inbox fills up with emails from Nigerian gentlemen expressing an interest in depositing large sums of money in your bank account.Ashley may notA Month Of Saturdays: May 2009
And so I'm duty-bound to relive the horror for a second time. Let's keep it short...May: examination time for thousands of students up and down the country. And, this year, for Newcastle Utd too. Despite poor results all year, could we somehow raise our game to scrape through - or would we flunk the final four tests and suffer the consequences?The first was the footballing equivalent of aOba out, Omani in?
Over a week after our 16-year stay in the Premier League came to an end, and after a handful of players have committed themselves for the future (Habib Beye, Steven Taylor, final day blunderer Damien Duff), the exit rumours are naturally intensifying.Kevin Nolan to Hull? Yep, fine.Alan Smith to Blackburn? Yes please.ASBO to Bolton, Blackburn or Spurs? Even better.But it was also inevitable thatFrom Monkey's Heed to Ol' Cauliflower Face
Eagerly jumping into bed with the Mackems at the first opportunity? Let's be honest: behaviour that's not entirely consistent with professions of being a lifelong Newcastle and Newcastle Utd fan. But then since going into management Steve Bruce's understanding of the term "loyalty" could be best described as unique...I'm not complaining, though: it gives us even more reason to dislike Ol'It's not all over now
Little Saint Mick's Newcastle career may nearly be at an end, but not his career as a whole - at least that's the legal verdict that has awarded him undisclosed libel damages.The Daily Express had claimed he was "finished", but on being swiftly contacted by his representatives the headline was changed to "Owen: I'm not finished".
