All over BBC and Sky now.

He has aquired the controling stake in the club , 41.6% at £55m.

He's yet to buy Freddy's half though. I'll start my celebrations, when he has.

Vandle · 23 May 2007 at 14:45

Half?
Freddy only has around 37% iirc

Naughty naughty Vandle -

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN, INTO OR FROM AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN OR THE UNITED STATES

Good news for Newcastle though I'd think, I'm sure they would do a bit better if they got rid of Shepherd but one step at a time.

haha we find out if fatfred will telling us more lies.

He said he would never sell unless and Billionaire comes in lol

Great news. Am lost for words

S7rider · 23 May 2007 at 16:50

lol, well dougie hall lives right next to me, so if there a huge party tonight ill know why

atpbx · 23 May 2007 at 19:09

He's bought the controlling stake, he now has to make a formal offer.

It said on the news it happened literally in a day and the Halls just folded and sold up.

McDaniel · 23 May 2007 at 19:12

My decision to not go out and party tonight has just changed.

All good for the Toon

The new guy might be even more of an idiot than Shepard though... oh I pray he is. That would be fantastic.
