Anandakrishnan for Newcastle United FC

Ananda

I was stunned when I read the news saying that our local tycoon is bidding to buy the Newcastle United Football Club. Yes, you heard that right. Newcastle United! While it does sounds great knowing the fact that one of our makkals is venturing into Brit’s football, I would say that would be one of the weirdest move made by our big boss.
 

Billionaire Malaysian media mogul T. Ananda Krishnan is the man reportedly behind an £80 million (RM460.6 million) bid to buy English football club Newcastle United, according to The Sun newspaper in the United Kingdom.

The Sun reported that Ananda, who controls Maxis Communications, gaming group Tanjong plc, Measat and Astro, is closing in on the deal to end Mike Ashley’s nightmare two-year “Toon” reign.


 
RM460 million? Well, if he fails in bidding for that football club, he might wanna consider donating a ‘small portion’ of that money to the Penang government so that they could use it to resolve the Kampung Buah Pala issue by buying over the land and for everyone’s sake, stop pointing fingers once and for all.

      I wish he bought over Liverpool though hehehehe..

      Anyway, he is one man who knows where his money will multiply into billions. No nonsense, low-profile and without politics.

      That man, has my highest respect for what he is.Tabik

      If you guys red today’s ppr, AK says that he never had plans to buy the club, sent any reps to the club or even consider buying it in the first place..
      Hmmm…
      No AK for EPL everyone…

      1st, still in bid stage. Another very close bid from a Singaporean company. If dato ananda manage to take over newcastlee united, my second degree will be “Sains sukan” and get football manager certificate whatever class from FAM, haha.

      @reygan, SayG, Logan, Nithz, selvan, fallensoul, – I wish the same.

      @rujj – Me too!

      @mr.velan – LOL, supporting Newcastle just because the owner is Anandha? =D

      @Rajdev – Well, that was a nice thought. Anyway, as long as our makkals could pass the ball to their teammates instead of their opponents, for sure they would have the chance to play in Newcastle.

      @Durai – Respek sama dia bro. Buying over Liverpool? LOL, enna kodumai bro ithu. =D

      @maya, vasan – Well, since Ananda is a very very low-profiled guy, we can’t really assure that he NEVER donated a single cent to all those poor indians as who knows he might have donated some without letting his activity being publicised as this guy really loves to keep a low-profile.

      @S. Lee Veles – Ohh, I might have missed that news. Anyway, there is a possibility that he might have said so as he does not want to publicise his intention. Well, if it was indeed a fake news, then too bad. =(

      @townguy – So, could I expect to see you as the next manager for NUFC once (if and only if) Anandha takes over? lol.

      How many indian people get benefitted because maxis, astro,etc. All anandakrishnan’s company.He help alot of indians because he earn from his company. So, of course, if he invest in football, sure he will use d money to help people.

      if he dont make business, how he will get money to help people?
      U never be happy with what we have, But u r ready to condemn other people. Nee la ore hindraf supporter ar? Gandhi supporter ar? Unnode blog le periya manasen photo la vetchirike, no use.

      I don’t know if this news is true but if it is, it sucks.

      Low profile guy??? A low profile guy would never go to the extent of bidding for a club in EPL. Get real, guys. Very big amount of money and I wonder why such a brilliant man could not think of many other ways of spending them. Has he done anything for charity? I do know he has done a lot for some of the top guns in Malaysia.

      Indians getting a chance to play in England after Ananda gets Newcastle is all bullshit! So many other problems facing our Indian community and the richest Indian in Malaysia is busy bidding for an English football club? I hope this is not true.
