JohnCresswell Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Now Newcastle are in the game. Newcastle have confirmed to the Stock Exchange that majority shareholder Sir John Hall has been approached to sell his stake in the club. Hall, who paid an estimated £3m to take charge of the club in 1991, stepped down as chairman in 1997. Weekend newspaper reports suggested an American backed consortium had been working on a buy-out proposal. A club statment said an approach had been received "which may or may not lead to the disposal of the stake." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Depressing - every one else gets sold quickly and quietly - but not us Someone said on the relegation thread that Portsmouth would probably be above us - that is really sad and just sums us up :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 19, 2006 Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2006 Death is not the end. Unfortunately, Dougs legacy might haunt us for years yet. We need him to sell. As a compromise, can we put him in a box now then wait for him to go ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
