Steups...imagine I am a black man and this move have me upset.

I really cannot associate an African nation (ok maybe Egypt) and the word stability in the same sentence. I just not seeing Nigerian owners coming to Newcastle as being a good thing.

I could only imagine how the Toon Army probably filled with even more trepidation than I am.

Another thing is all this oil talk about Nigerian investors and dey money...where that money come from? Is it legitimate money? This aint meant to point fingers but something sounding fishy there? Who have that kind of money is TRANSPARENT NIGERIA....

When I heard that on Fox sport, I started to laugh. Nigerian football organisation is in the pits. Instead of them taking the money to restructure Nigerian football and pay the local Nigerians a decent wage, they coming to England to invest in a team heading "south". I will be surprised if that deal go thru.

I think it's a very interesting move.

Wit regards to de why dey doh take de money and invest in Nigerian Football, perhaps jes like de local business community and TTFF, there may exist an absence of trust with the Nigerian Football Association which discourages initiatives of that sort.

Nobody raises an eyebrow when Arabs buy Man City or a Russian purchases Chelsea, why should it be any different for Nigerians?

A black US president. A black consortium owning Newcastle United. Who woulda thunk it? What's next I wonder? A black pope perhaps?

Africans need to develop their institutions first before going to Europe to invest. The Arabs and Russians at least have good stadiums and professionally run leagues.

This might work out good the Nigerians will send a cashiers cheque for more than the team is worth. Newcastle board of directors simply has to sign over ownership to the nigerians, cash the cheque and refund the difference.
Everybody wins!

You is a damn ass

I agree with you though, why not Nigerians? Is a business consortium, its not their role to improve Nigerian football or Nigerian anything. They could do that after they make $$$ off the Brits. What good for the goose....

Deeks · « **Reply #12 on:** September 22, 2008, 04:09:16 PM »

How you know they go make money of the Brits? Let's see how this will transpire.

Its a business consortium, what else they there for but to make money? After all that was taken from Africa, why the Nigerians can't legally buy one little team in England?

Even if it doh happen just the thought of African ownership of an English team will affect a small change in thinking, dat can't be all bad

I understand what the Nigerian stereotypes are. But I find it odd that after thinking it through people actually have a problem with some African businessmen buying a European club.

nigeria like everywhere else...there are rich people, and honest people too. There are brilliant businessmen and as a ntion they love their football.

Abramovic and Thaksin are two alleged crooks that came to England and buy clubs normal normal. The Nigerian consortium might be a mess, but I wouldn't assume they are.

Plus..it real funny but I know wvery man jack assume dem businessmen black....heheh. porbably, but not necessarily.

Dear Mr. Ashey,

I submit this proposal respectuflly to buy Newcastle football club from you if you are willing to do transaction.

During the last civil war, my father who perished in battle left me a sum of $15,000,000,000 in escrow as crown prince of my village in Nigeria. However due to ongoing political interference, I cannot complete the transaction and would request the assistnace in your club from north of Scotland in help to facilitate this transaction.

I will buy all players, fields and estate. In order to faciliate this business, please give me your account number so that I can forward funds in timely manner.

Thank you and please feel free to contact my business associate for any questions answered.

Look forward to being owner of the Toffees.

With official corruption being what it is in Nigeria... if these men are honest and competent businessmen should they waste their efforts on a broken system in some misplaced patriotic gesture... or should they look to seek out sound investments elsewhere? I have my own skepticism regarding this deal, but if Americans, Asians, Russians et al can invest in the EPL... then why not Africans?
