Newcastle to be bought by Nigerian consortium?

'Dear Mr Ashley

I represent a consortium of wealthy Nigerians with $800 million dollars we need to park in your bank account due to unreasonable repression in our country. Please send us your details and we will happily deposit the cash there. Oh and can we have your football club as well, please?'

So desperate is the chubby pint-downing squillionaire that he may actually have fallen for it, cos it according to numerous sources including Goal.com that there is an offer on the table from a consortium headed by one Chris Nathaniel. Following Ashley's failed bid to flog the club in the Middle East a couple of weeks ago (by all accounts he just flew there and at the time the takeover was meant to be signed he was drinking in a bar, in a Muslim country, it could well be that he'll accept the cut-price offer of £350m (he was allegedly asking £430m for it in Dubai).

Plonker.

Added to the managerial woes (Joe who?), lack of player commitment (did anyone see MOTD on Saturday?) and fan unrest, it looks like Newcastle are Championship bound. Take your shirt off and celebrate that, you Geordie bastards!
