A north-east businessman is planning to launch a £150million takeover bid for Newcastle.
Rick Parkinson, who has made much of his cash from the textiles industry, has joined forces with four other entrepreneurs and is preparing to make a formal offer for United.
The Northumberland-based multi-millionaire's consortium is willing to pay £90million to current owner Mike Ashley, plus £30million for transfers and the same amount again for restructuring.

Well said john . . . . what a tragic, tragic soul; so desperate for attention!
heyup connolly,
why dont you ask cameron,he knows all about it,and so does everyone else except you of course.!
impact, your comment 67, where the @#$% did that come from. Why did you say that, nowt to do with footie or a reply to a comment just nasty vindictive shyte. I'm sorry but you are impossible, please dont use my name in your rubbish comments in future, you are neither a wind up merchant or a footie fan just total w****r.
cameron w,
John, i visit the safc pages; i've actually been stuck up a few good and proper over the last season (they visit these pages too - you know the ones, jack, heslop, patrick) and i would like you to join in john,ime sure you would enjoy it.but dont wear those silly toon underpants,eh. cameron w.
hey up cameron,
been having a tete r tete with one of my fans,we would like to know what is the circumference of a standard football and what should the psi be.you got any idea.!
granny.
has anybody found joe kinnear yet,he,s been missing for a while now.its really very quiet at nufc,is it still there.too quiet for my liking.what do you know anyone.
John, i visit the safc pages; i've actually struck up good banter with a handful of them over the last season (they visit these pages too - you know the ones, jack, heslop, patrick) and i would gladly buy them all a drink, even safcalsftm . . . . . at least he admits to being a wind-up merchant!! Obviously, there are some who don't know the difference between banter and bile, and then are others who are even worse than that - they support neither club but just try and stir it up in order to seek attention and recognition (tragic!).
heyup,
all the clubs seem to be busy buying selling,making plans preparing for the coming season,training .all except nufc that is."anyone know what is going on there"?granny
heyup connolly,
i kept my word.granny
still an odeious little toad tho!!!
I applaud your attempt at humour, good effort.
hey up j connolly,apology.
It would seem that i have used the word camping,which has caused connolly much anxiety and has indeed been interpreted as camped out,so to speak.this is an error on my part and retract any statement made to mr connolly suggesting he was camped out on the safc site.please accept my apologies,and look forward to constructive dialogue.
granny.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEh you lying little bu55er.
I have already said I visit their site if there's a story I'm interested in and I have left unoffensive comments on occations that have provoked decent banter.
heyup connolly,i dont want you to go into meltdown over this,i have a suggestion,how about a compromise.
you admit to me that you have occasionaly visited the safc site and placed the odd remark,you and your mates. I will then concede to your demands."is that fair".peace brother peace.long live nufc.
OMG, Iv'e just been on the doubts about Newcastle bid article and your copying and re-paisting all the shyte thats hidden due to thumbs down, you really have got it bad, get some help man yout obsessed.
copy and paste for me please so I can have a look. Also what is the answer, have you seen me camping out on the SAFC site or were you lying, yes or no.
dear oh dear connolly,you are a thickhead,if you read down,presumably you can,you can see by your very own admission that you have,and your mates been camping on the safc site.what more proof do you need!.
granny.
impact, let me put you straight, You made a statement that I camp out on the SAFC site, I asked you to prove it by producing some of the comments you saw. I never denied visiting their site, that's where the news about Bruce was etc, so I read it, why not it's about footie, I said I dont camp out there which is true.
You on the other hand cannot produce the evidence to back up your claim so you are a leetle leetle liar are'nt you.
Yes impact, but what about the statement you made, was it a lie, have you seen me camping out on SAFC site as you say you have, or are you just a lying little knobber.
