Insert Name Here aka The Ownership Thread

....just hope our potential owner Mr Lee wasn't present at the 6-1 drubbing against Perth a few weeks back!!!

New crew - lee's legends?

As long as we become the "Newcastle Whowin" i'll be happy

Hope his dad Bing is into the deal.

So, Tim Cahill just announced his contract with Shanghai Shenua has been terminated.


It's a sign.

FFA engaged UBS Bank in November to broker a sale, with an asking price of about $5 million.

Yeah right...No top 6 finals in a dodgey 10 team comp for, lets face it, 7 seasons,
a basket case of history with former owners, a membership that's going to be questionable for next season.
Try $3.5m ya dolts. That's all I'd pay if I was Chickety China.

Yeah, yeah - I hear the same crud every year. Newcastle supporters have come back even after a complete and utter year from hell. Nothing's going to change fan-wise.

We just need some $$$$!

Thanks mate - is it any wonder we don't see Mind Your Language and Love Thy Neighbour on TV any more when the racism card is played so readily.

It is a shame, too many 'cards' being thrown about these days. So many people getting offended these days.

if we can get on board an owner who isn't in immiment danger of going bankrupt for a change that in itself might be encouragement enough for the fans to join up next season...

my only concern was Marty's deal with the Portuguese league of having compulsory Chinese youth development players (which their players union rejected) - would depend how that was gonna work, cos I would imagine it would be high on his list to do with any team he buys here

Visa restrictions etc nullify this slightly.

Do they impact on youth?

could a Chinese ownership essentially send 13yr old kids over, and have them work through the academies, get citizenship after 5 years then play national youth league here if they're not good enough to be taken back to the CSL?

If this is the case then the only newy way to answer this...no way, get f***ed, f*** off

Big hypothetical though
