Will blend nicely into the west stand then

Mike Ashley at Newcastle:
Bought Newcastle for £134m and inherited £77m of debt. By 2017 that debt had doubled to £152m.
Sports Direct has never paid anything towards the naming rights or any of the advertising that swarms the stadium.
Sports Direct controls club's retail operations and the club has made a net loss of £5.5m from this arrangement. Commercial income has halved, matchday income is down by a third.
In the 11 years before Ashley, Newcastle had qualified for Europe nine times and the Champion's League group stages twice. Since Ashley has been owner, the club has been relegated twice and played in the Europa League once.
Newcastle's net spend since the summer of 2017 is £1m. Brighton's is £110m and Huddersfield's is £78m.
Ashley has purchased land behind the Gallowgate for a reduced £6m and planning permission for £70m proeprty development that blocks any expansion of St James' Park.
The club's accounts are overdue and it is also under investigation by HMRC for tax fraud.

Geordie fans moan bitterly that he never spends multi millions in the Premier League, but he certainly seems to invest in the team to get them there, more than once. I’d have no issue with that sort of ownership at all.5

So that the banker that has experience of working with a Premier League club. Interesting papers reported that this mysterious person had put in a bid of £30 million. Although paper gossip, it all ties in now and the fact and a BIG If that talks are at an advanced stage but he is likely to lose out at the 11th hour. Am I right in thinking Roland is now willing to accept bids. His one is £30 millions, Aussies alledged £35 million, maybe Roland was trying to bring out in the open to try and get the sale done quickly. I don't think he is being vindictive, just think that as the Aussies are in the driving seat he wants to weed out as much as he can. I now suspect as I have done all week and this that Bowyer not signing a contract is a smokescreen for this takeover. End game here we come.2

so the rumours about Cardiff involvement and a banker have been proved right.
