Accounting International Marketable Securities Standard

Who'd be a Newcastle fan? The club that spent 2008/09 lurching from crisis to crisis met its end in an almost inevitable relegation, made worse by the fact the side was packed with international stars, including Michael Owen, Fabricio Coloccini and Olabafemi Martins. A 3-1 defeat of Middlesbrough towards the end of the campaign confirmed what most people knew, that St James Park hosted the calibre of players who should never have finished 18th and down. Why it happened remains a well documented litany of despair featuring bad decisions at Boardroom level, a Chairman who became universally unpopular with the supporters and problems on the field that were never overcome.

Newcastle is for sale, but Mike Ashley remains in charge

At least one of the issues above remains unresolved, and it's a critical one. Mike Ashley is still in charge and actually looks as though he might stay, at least for a further year. Having developed his Chairman's role into a template on how not to do things properly, he put the club up for sale in December 2008 for £100m and waited for a queue of buyers to form. And waited. There was always interest in the club, various consortia stepping forward in the hope of relieving Ashley of his duties. The most likely purchaser was and remains Barry Moat, a Tyneside businessman who thinks he has come up with a suitable takeover package, though currently he needs to convince Barclays Bank that he can operate Newcastle's £39m overdraft facility. An extension to the buy-out deadline has been granted in order to give Moat time to work his charms on the bank, or at least provide a statement of accounts that persuades it he's the right man for the job.
