You do realise that Barton has 3 England caps to his name! In addition, Barton represented Newcastle United for Sky One's "Premier League All Stars". The match took place on 26 September 2007 and finished 3–3. In the resulting penalty shootout, Barton missed his penalty to knock Newcastle out of the tournament!!! That Ginola bloke I'm unclear on though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant be that many bigger Newcastle heroes than Ginola, surely? He was one of the best wingers in the world when he was with them, in what was by far the best Newcastle side of the modern era.

useless Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I just saw this story that apparently originated from mail on Sunday yesterday... 'An American hedge fund backed by Japanese investment giant SoftBank has been holding talks with the Dubai-based Bin Zayed Group which is interested in buying Newcastle United Football Club for between £300 million and £350 million. It is believed Fortress Investment Group is one of a number of parties talking to Bin Zayed about providing expensive debt financing for a takeover of the Premier League club, owned by retail tycoon Mike Ashley.' Fortress Investment Group is the company that Wesley Edens still has shares in and is still on their board and a co-chairman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the terms of the loan repayment are met and Fortress never took control I couldn't see an issue. If the buyer defaulted and they took control (much like Elliott Management at AC Milan) it could get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, why are the "bin Zayed group" scratching around for backers to help fund a takeover when the main man is supposedly worth billions and connected to the royal family. Amazes me the press print this bullshit, and Newcastle fans always fall for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I just think they have a bad squad. Now that they lost Perez as well coupled with Ashley unwillingness to spend i think they will struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
