Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley on Monday
morning confirmed he has put the Magpies up for sale for
£100million.
More than a week after it emerged that Ashley was looking
to get out for the second time since he took control, the Magpies
issued an official statement setting a price as Keith Harris,
chairman of investment bankers Seymour Pierce, continued his search
for buyers.
The statement read: "The board of Newcastle United can today
confirm that the club is for sale at the price of £100million.
"Interested parties should contact Newcastle United at
[email protected] (or Keith Harris at Seymour Pierce) for further
details.
"The club will not be making any further comment at the present
time."
