Mike Ashley isn't buying the club!

His brother might be though....

His brother is local, married to a local woman here, and together, I've heard they are interested in the club

Frying pan/fire?

I do know his brother is Grimsby based although I have no idea if he has any money

It seems in December 2017 Sports Direct wanted to pay him 11 million but shareholders rejected it.

He has money, just not Mike's amount of money, owns a helicopter etc.

However my understanding, is that Mike isn't allowed to buy another club once sold Newcastle? not sure of the laws/rules of that side.

So I've been told his brother would be the main owner, with Mike's 'backing'

All this is a rumour through contacts that know the family, could be a wind up, could be true, just a bit weird they told me, thought nothing off it, then I see a few post on social media of similar stuff

Are we going to stick in the frying pan forever then, and never have a fresh start?

I doubt whether the rumours are true, but surely we have got to be receptive to any possible new buyers after 16 years of almost total misery?

Well his brother runs / ran a company that managed international delivery for Sports Direct and was registered to an address near Hewitts Circus so he does have some connection to the area.

Well Fenty has been holding out to sell the club to the right person hasn't he? Surely an Ashley wouldn't be that person.

What would be the point? Ashley is no lover of football just a businessman through n through. Surely that's the problem with him n the geordies? He wants to run it as s profitable business, won't spend any money and wants to make a profit when he sells. Cant see why hed want to waste a couple of s million on a small club that has got no connection to and there's no profit to be made at the end of it. Doesn't make any sense imho

Heard this from two separate people last night. Don’t believe it though.
