Sunderland fan offers Mike Ashley a Mars bar in exchange for Newcastle
For sale – one football club, offers by email.
Sunderland AFC fans have poked more fun at their relegated rivals after Newcastle United were put up for sale by owner Mike Ashley – on email.
However, asking for replies by email meant the club was inundated with joke bids, many from Black Cats supporters.
Offers included 12p and a Mars bar, 4.50 and a half eaten bag of Haribo star mix, a game of twister (still boxed) and pristine vinyl copies of The Laughing Gnome by David Bowie and 142, with 140 cashback on completion.
A club statement released yesterday said: "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 admin@nufc.co.uk for further details."
