Nigerian Bid Knocked Back - And The Jokers Don't Like It!

The London-based businessman fronting the Nigerian bid, Chris Nathaniel, says Keith Harris is wrong to suggest he "doesn't exist".

Chris Nathaniel: "I really can't get my head around why anyone would make such a stupid statement.

"[My clients] will be very disappointed and very angry [with these comments].

"The bid certainly still exists. We're currently getting a financial adviser on board to take the bid forward with Newcastle."
