Newcastle not for sale, as Hughton gets top job
Newcastle United have named Chris Hughton as their permanent manager and
have confirmed that the club have been withdrawn from sale and is no longer
on the market.
The club had been trying to broker a deal with a number of prospective
buyers in recent months however none of those deals came to fruition and a
statement on the Newcastle official website read:
''With regard to the possible sale of the Club to Barry Moat, that
particular bid has now fallen through due to the cash price of £80 million
not being met. In confirming the news, Mike Ashley stated that he is totally
committed to the future success of Newcastle United and will be focussing on
gaining promotion back to the Premier League. Mike will put a further £20
million into the Club this week.
''Whilst confirming these two matters, Newcastle United now aims to move
forward on and off the pitch. The Club aims to maximise its commercial
revenues; this includes renegotiating its Club sponsor and kit deal, which
expire at the end of this season, as well as welcoming offers for the
stadium naming rights for next season.''
Derek Llambias, Managing Director of Newcastle United, said: "We are
delighted that Chris has accepted the post of full time manager. He has done
a terrific job this season and we wish him every success for the rest of
this season and beyond. He will continue to receive our full backing and
support."
New manager Chris Hughton added: "It is a very proud day for me to be named
as the manager of this magnificent football club. I thank Mike and Derek for
their support and will be doing everything in my power to get the Club back
into the Premier League at the first time of asking.
"Having the unequivocal backing of the players has helped me enormously and
I would also like to thank Colin Calderwood, Paul Barron and the rest of the
backroom staff who have never been anything but tremendously supportive to
me this season."
