Wouldn't be allowed unless he sold newcastle, conflict of interest.

In the words of Jose Mourinho:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article360701.ecePAUL KEMSLEY is ready to launch a bid for Tottenham with Newcastle chairman Mike Ashley.
Multi-millionaire property developer Kemsley quit as Spurs vice-chairman this week after being blamed for the Juande Ramos fiasco.
Old friends Ashley and Kemsley are currently working together on a project to build a casino in Las Vegas.
And while billionaire Ashley bought a controlling interest in Toon in June, he is a lifelong Tottenham fan.  Am I wrong, or did Ashley not buy 100% of the club? Not just a controlling interest? |

You're not wrong, but the Sun isn't wrong either. MA bought a controlling interest in June then acquired enough extras to compulsorily purchase the rest. 100% cost £133m iirc. |

Plus he paid off £80m in debt, and paid a bit more on transfer fees. He's in for the long haul, and Mort said so the last time this story came out, so don't get your hopes up. A lot of journalists seem to be Spurs fans, and are clearly jeaslous of what we've got, and clearly want to unsettle a perceived rival prior to the NUFC vs Spurs game. |

NUFC ratings based on all-time NUFC form.
Ashley - 7, Mort - 6
Allardyce - 6.5
Given - 7.5, Harper - 6.5, Krul - 5.1
Carr - 2, Beye - 5, Taylor - 5.5, Rozehnal - 5.5, Cacapa - 6.5, Faye - 6, Ramage - 4, Edgar - 5, Babayaro - 2, Enrique - 5.5
Geremi - 5.5, Butt - 6, Emre - 5.5, Smith - 5, Barton - 5, Milner - 6.5, N'Zogbia - 7, Duff - 4.5, Pattison - 4.5
Owen - 6, Martins - 7, Viduka - 5.5, Ameobi - 6, Carroll - 5
Recent Changes:
Ashley - Up 0.5 for being a legend.
Allardyce - Up 0.5 for bringing back the fortress, and new signings doing very well.
Faye and Cacapa - Up 0.5 for being formidable defenders.
N.B. New arrivals start at 5, recent performances carry stronger weighting, and lengthly spells on the sideline injured can reduce rating.

Even he leaves at least we are now more or less debt free therefore a vert attractive poposition to a different potential investor. Can't see it happening though. Can't imagine MA is bored of us that quickly and he isn't likely to make a profit if he sells up.

As I said in the Spurs pre-match thread, I think the likelihood of it happening is just about nil, and I'm very comfortable with that. I would be deflated, not elated, if the rumours proved to be true, I'd put Kemsley very much in the Freddie Shepherd mould, which is hardly any recommendation! He's also one of the regular 'interviewers from hell' in the penultimate episode of each series of The Apprentice. As most of the national journos' papers are based in London, it's not surprising that the majority support London teams. The Mail is traditionally the Spurs paper, most of the reporters on the Sun support the other lot up the Seven Sisters. |

Poor reporting from a poor newspaper. If only the paper was more absorbent, it might be useful for toilet paper. As it is, it's good for nothing.

the press don't hate NUFC it's just that they know we have more f****** nugget fans than anyone else who'll help whip any rubbish into a frenzy. unfortunate but true.

I wonder if the ratio of 'negative' toon stories v 'positive' toon stories increases in the weeks leading up to a game against one of the larger London clubs or ManU?
It does seemt to be that these stories come out at convenient times!

Isnt this just the same old story from a few months back recycled and with a slightly different slant on it?
They are just polishing a turd.

Unless you come from the area you wouldn’t understand that mentality. Playing for the club is everything. I broke Jackie’s record and no one can take that away from me. I’ve never had any regrets. I’m finished now and I have great memories.":- Alan Shearer

I am amazed that people still read the sun. Its not even good enough to be put in the recycling bin, imho. The sun also claimed that we were "definitely" going to sign David Beckham, and printed photos of Fat Fred in London. Nowt happened then either. Its all crud.
