topcat Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Won't he need quite a lot more than ?19m?? Just a thought. Personally I'm deeply sceptical of this rumour but the amount of money required depends whether you want to buy out UBIG the majority shareholder or buy out UBIG the creditor as well? In practice UBIG would be unlikely to continue as a creditor for the newly independant club while it's debts exceed it's assets and so would probably insist that it got at least some of that money back up front. It's conceivable that a bidder might spend about ?19m to buy the club, clear the short term intra-group debt and then continue with a more manageable level of long term debt owed to UBIG.

Coco Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 My guess is that the club (equity and debt for all the assets it has at the moment) is worth no more than ?15m as a going concern. Anything more than that is a VR/UBIG/Ukio Bankas pipedream. Perhaps they could throw in the ?20m purchase of the St Andrew's Square building for another ?10m.

shaun.lawson Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 You know, it's funny. I doubt there's anything in this anyway, but just in case there was, it's worth pointing out that Shepherd, while a massive improvement on Vlad (because he'd run us as a football club again), is actually another Pieman: quite literally, given his girth! Newcastle completely overstretched under his watch, and were staggeringly mismanaged, before imploding horribly - and as he walked away with ?70m or so after selling to Mike Ashley, NUFC were actually on the point of administration. So, while beggars can't be choosers, I'd caution people to be careful what they wish for. It might just come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
