Domathon Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 This was announced officially yesterday and the chairman has set his sights on a sale before 2018. I really hope this will make the beta? (coded in that the ai has the club is up for sale at the beginning of a career save) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs08 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 It's pretty unlikely - normally the data is already locked by this point and it won't make it in until the first patch. They have been known to bend the rules for major changes though so not impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the game's out you should be able to use the pre-game editor to make Ashley want to leave, but that won't be possible for the beta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cris182 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 It might make the beta or it might make any possible release patch. But if not it's not that tricky to sort out upon full release Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey1978 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Of course, just because Mike Ashley says the club is for sale, doesn't mean he will sell it. Prospective buyers will have to match his price (likely to be high, because it's Mike Ashley), and also meet his requirement that the new owners can take the club forward, which is a fairly nebulous statement. There's every chance this is just a ruse to keep the baying masses quiet - I wouldn't trust the guy as far as I could throw him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCpl Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Newcastle fans assuming that up for sale means 'Man City style takeover', wqhen in reality it'll probably be another bored retailer to the chav populous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPompey Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Until its a fact it wont make it into the game If its done and dusted by the time the winter updated is included and released then perhaps there is a good chance. Not sure what your driver is for wanting Ashley out, the new buyer may well be poorer and invest less money than Ashley has be doing. Be careful what you wish for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he is quoted as saying he will sell the club at the right time. How active he is will be anyones's guess I can't recall how many times I've got excited about Portsmouth getting new "rich" owners only for the bubble to be burst. I think we are in the best position financially for a very long time with no debt at all. Watch out any new owner doesn't get you in more debt / get bored quick / run out of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9shirt Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 FM can't deal in ulterior motives (the ashley M.O.). The fact is Newcastle United is up for sale, hopefully it is a simple job to get this in the BETA & expect it to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Willing to listen to offers" perhaps? If you load up the game and he's listed as "Feels he will never leave the club he loves" then I think we've got problems...

MrPompey Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Mickey Mouse - LOL - I think we have won more silverware / qualified for Europe in the last 10 years than many clubs currently in the premiership and we have on;ly just moved out of L2 If Ashley is going to sell the club I assume he wont be investing any money or making money available for transfers so we could zerorise the transfer budget I suppose Suggestion When the open beta is available there will be a data issues thread created. I suggest you make a post in there which hopefully the Newcastle researcher will pick up and confirm what he can / what he will do to cover this else contact him now. This will give you the best chance of potentially having any data updated in time for formal release Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPompey Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 @Michael F - Hi Michael - As Newcastle researcher could you offer any advice regarding how you may or may not include Ashley's announcement to "sell" Newcastle Alternatively - For those Newcastle FM devotees who may wish to use the FM editor could you suggest how they could make an edit once they have the full FM18 version in 3 weeks that reflects how you see the current position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domathon Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 This is gaining momentum, reported by bbc news/ sky sports there are a few interested parties confirmed with one in pole position. It is reported that Amanda Staveley, a potential buyer, has signed a non-disclosure agreement with the Magpies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
