Chief plays down takeover talk
Newcastle United, 13:28, August 8, 2008 ,
Mike Ashley has stated that he is not looking to sell Newcastle and is still looking to win something alongside Kevin Keegan.
There has been mounting speculation over the summer that Ashley is looking to sell his majority stake in the club, with reported interest from America and Asia.
But the Newcastle owner has played down those suggestions of a takeover and insists he is fully focused on bringing on-the-pitch success to St James' Park.
Speaking to the club's official magazine, Ashley said: "If you own Newcastle United, the one thing you want to do is win something.
"Kevin wants to and so do I."
He added: "I'm really looking forward to the season. I'm excited by Kevin, seeing the team play, all of it.
"We're going to have fun."
