It’s rare to see a large business being advertised for sale on its own website, especially with the price-tag advertised. But there it is at www.nufc.co.uk, the newly-relegated toons are for sale, at a price of £100 million. The ad on the website reads, “The board of Newcastle United can today confirm that the club is for sale at the price of £100million.” It goes on to give the contact details of investment bankers Seymour Pierce, who are handling the sale.

Calling anyone with an ego big enough, pockets to match and keen on a rather large flutter. The problem is that there many not be too many of this breed left in the UK. Perhaps the owner, Mike Ashley, should place an ad in Moscow’s popular daily newspaper, Moskovsky Komsomolets.
