Vinnie Jones claims American investor snubbed Newcastle United because he didnt like their nickname
Vinnie Jones has revealed an American investor rejected the chance to put money into Newcastle United because he didnt like their nickname The Magpies.During the chance meeting on a golf course, ‘The Axe’ advised the unnamed potential buyer to invest in his former club Leeds United instead.Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is looking to sell up after years of unrest among supporters.In fact, there were reports in November that he was in advanced talks with an American consortium.3

Newcastle fans have protested against Mike Ashley’s ownership for many years

Meanwhile, reports emerged this morning claiming that Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani may be forced to sell if the Whites dont win promotion to the Premier League this season.I dont think that would be the case, former Elland Road midfielder Jones told talkSPORT, But if it was, I was speaking to somebody at the golf club last week and they had an offer to go in on a consortium with Newcastle.This American lad considered doing it, he didnt know anything about it, but then he said, What put me off was their name The Magpies. I said, Ill tell you what mate, Ill tell you a club Leeds United is what you want to buy if you have an interest in something that can go through the roof.Its a phenomenal place, theyre getting 30,000 supporters every week, which they did when I was there.When theyre pushing and successful, that city is absolutely alive and buzzing. Its one of the best places in the country to live.3

Andrea Radrizzani will reportedly struggle to fund another promotion bid

Leeds are currently third in the Championship, two points off Norwich and Sheffield United, and crucially have a game in hand on their promotion rivals.Jones was quick to emphasise just how tough it is to earn promotion from the Championship, as Leeds bid to their 15-year absence from the Premier League.He added: Theyve had it hard, they had the success under Howard Wilkinson and its sort of been drying ever since.3

Vinnie Jones spoke to the potential buyer on the golf course

We keep getting a lifeline sent out to us but it seems to be just too far to reach onto.There might have been a desperate plea (from the owner). Theyre obviously going to be in the play-offs (at least).Norwich seem strong, Sheffield United seem strong, its a very hard league to get out of.I went down to that league for a season its very tough.
