Newcastle owner Mike Ashley admits he is desperate for new investors to pump cash into his Premier League club, but even he draws the line at suggestions of a deal with the family of terrorist Osama bin Laden.
Mike, calm down. Bakr bin Laden is a legitimate businessman. Ashley's reaction is understandable, but a bit over the edge. This isn't really news at all. Lets worry about something else.
ive lived in saudi arabia,the bin laden company is there,not in afghanistan.its a very rich and powerful company. it can even provide more money to newcastle then abrahimovic provides for chelsea.
When clubs like Newxastle, Liverpool, AC Milan and others are reduced to beg for new investors, it can only mean that the previous ones have mismanaged investments.Solution? Pay players less!

Sounds like the right thing to say, opposing fans would have a hay day with this. He was patriotic; it's not my decision but he is being proper.WongChris July 11st, 2008 07:01

Actually Ajax, I think they'd be in the form of barrels of oil and shipments of natural gas.ajax72 July 12nd, 2008 03:41
What hit the WTC on 9/11 didn't look like barrels of oil or natural gas to me.Crusader1987 July 12nd, 2008 06:20
I already told you, Bakr bin Laden is a legitimate Saudi businessman who deals in money, not ridiculous interpretations of a so-called holy book.
