Shepherd to sell Magpies stake

By Lewis Rutledge - Created on 7 Jun 2007

Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd has agreed to sell his 28 per cent stake in the club to Mike Ashley.

Billionaire businessman Ashley, the 25th wealthiest man in the UK, bought a 41.6 per cent stake in Newcastle from Sir John Hall and his family a fortnight ago.

Ashley has now struck a deal with Shepherd to take his shares, with the sale raising his holding in The Magpies to a little under 70 per cent.

He needs to acquire 75 per cent to take full control at St James' Park, and the Newcastle board have recommended that Ashley's offer of 101 pence per share be accepted by the remaining shareholders.

Shepherd, who will receive more than ￡37.6million for his family's stake, is expected to remain as chairman.

Only last month Shepherd claimed Newcastle was an impossible club to buy and vowed never to sell his stake.

However, his stance then softened and he has agreed to sell after listening to Ashley's plans for the club.

A statement issued by Shepherd read: "The offer from SJHL (St James Holdings Limited - Ashley's company) is at a level which fully reflects both the performance of Newcastle and its prospects and ambitions for the future.

"The board believes that SJHL and Mike Ashley will be excellent custodians of Newcastle United's heritage and will provide the best possible opportunity for the club to flourish in the future, to the benefit of the company and its fans."


路透倫敦電---英超俱樂部紐卡斯爾(紐卡素)周四宣布，同意估價約1.34億英鎊(2.67億美元)，由零售企業家阿什利(Mike Ashley)現金收購。

阿什利旗下的聖詹姆斯控股(St James Holdings)宣布，同意以每股101便士的價格，現金收購紐卡斯爾全部股份，包括主席兼大股東謝潑德(Freddy Shepherd)所持股份。

之前，阿什利已經以每股100便士的價格收購霍爾(John Hall)家族所持的41.6%股份。阿什利也擁有Sports World零售連鎖公司。

阿什利收購英格蘭東北部球隊紐卡斯爾，打破外國買家吞噬英超俱樂部(球會)的趨勢。

One Season to make me proud

By Neil Farrington, The Sunday Sun

Sam Allardyce will have just one season to prove he is the man to realise Mike Ashley's £400 million dream Mike Ashley's £400 million dream of turning Newcastle into a world footballing superpower.

That is the figure that Ashley has earmarked for his United revolution as he expects to convince chairman Freddy Shepherd to sell his stake in the club when they meet this week.

In anticipation of pushing through a takeover worth £133 million, Ashley - through his PR advisors - has assured the newly-appointed Allardyce that his job is safe.

But other sources close to the publicity-shy billionaire (right) last night revealed that he is yet to be convinced that Allardyce can establish Newcastle as one of the biggest clubs on the planet.

The Sunday Sun has been told of the big-money, five-year path to greatness which Ashley has mapped out for the Magpies.

The sports retail tycoon has budgeted an incredible £270 MILLION for winning the Premiership within three years and challenging for the Champions League within five years.The sports retail tycoon has budgeted an incredible £270 MILLION for winning the Premiership within three years and challenging for the Champions League within five years.

"Mike has huge respect for what Sam Allardyce achieved with limited resources at Bolton, but I can't stress enough just how big he hopes - and expects - Newcastle to become," a source told the Sunday Sun.


"Is Allardyce capable of taking the club not just up to the next level but into a whole different ballpark? That's yet to be seen.


"Of course, Allardyce will have the chance to prove himself. But he won't be allowed to hang around doing it. Mike wants big progress, fast."
