The worst thing is it does look like the consipacry theorists could be right. You cannot take over a company and make so many bad decisions and look back end EVERY SINGLE DECISON that you have made in two years has been the wrong fucking one. Statisicly it should have been 60 /40 but this guy has been 100% pig shit thick on descision making since he took over you would have to look and wonder how he made ten bob not nigh on two billion. Why did he bring Shearer in for the last 8 games? Because he thought that would guarentee our relegation? Why did he sack Allardyce and bring Keegan in?, because he thought Allardyce was doing too well? Please lets stop this idea now before it turns into a cult for fuck sake Plus not every decision he's made has been completely wrong, just most of them, and all of them can be explained by an absolute idiot who doesn't have a single clue about Football.

Ashley cares infinitely more about his own interests then hurting us, that's my theory.

I do think he'll continue to make idiotic decisions, that's what he does. Just can't see him managing to fuck up enough to send us down though.

Not directly, but you compared our situation to last season. Suggesting that if the same thing happens this season as last (no proper manager and the same shit players) then we'll get the same result. Thing is that doesn't take into account just how shit the Championship is in comparison to the Premiership. hope you're right man, really hope you are add this into the mixer by the way, lets say the sale drags on - ashley is not going to want to pay the likes of duff, smith, geremi etc. is he? he'll be getting shot of them and anyone else earning decent money he can to reduce his costs for whatever he can rake in leaving us with bairns and cheap dross he's not going to reinvest anything in the team either amazes me some people are glass full with ashley even now - i'm going to sit here and assume he fucks the whole thing up as badly as he possibly can until he doesn't, given his track record take that train of thought and avoiding relegation next season looks like a potential miracle to me already Players are paid by the club though not Ashley (surely what the working capital overdraft was about?). So the wage bill will only cost him if he stays and has to end up paying that off. As it is that overdraft will be there for the new owners when they arrive. If Ashley had to pay all the wages as and when they're required I'm sure certain players would have gone already

Can't remember ever hearing of people being shown around the facilities and meeting players last time he tried to sell. Can't remember hearing anyone had completed due diligence. Can't remember any solid claims of bids either. Rumours rumours and more rumours. Rumours we didn't have last time though yes? Rumours that have been coroberated by numerous sources as well. Clearly the situation is not the same as last time. All i see is a weeks speculation caused by an Asian man being spotted at the training ground. It's most probably nothing. Ofcourse the rumours haven't been IDENTICAL, that wasn't really my point. An asian man Nowt like playing something down is there. A group of business men were shown round and to a man every source has said they were there regarding a takeover, not one source anywhere has denied it. Official sources have also confirmed that various parites were entering due diligence, something that never happened last time round. This is completely different from last time out when all we had was stories about Ashley fucking about in Dubai and Keith Harris talking about several groups being interested.

It would take something far more seriously then a delay in the takeover to cause such a thing IMO.

You must have a very inflated view of the quality of the Championship i have a very realistic view of the quality and hunger of our current players, plus i'm aware of the snowballing effect that off the pitch disruption could have next season just think of it come the start; no manager in place, no sale, all the same shit still on the books, wage bill crippling ashley, uncertainty everywhere, kinnear/hughton running the team in limbo nah it'll all be fine, just like last season Your view of the quality of our players might be realistic but your view of the Championship isn't if you think it can even be compared to the Premiership. The likes of Duff would look like fucking Kaka in this league. No doubt it would almost certainly kill off any chance we might have had of coming back up at the first attempt if the club isn't sold by the time the season kicks off. But its not going to relegate us for fuck sake. It would take a lot more then a delay of new ownership until early August for that to happen.

I don't want him back obviously, but he's absolutely right IMO that if he hadn't fallen ill we would have stayed up.

Let me rephrase. Maybe Seymour pierce have suggested that Ashley sell those two and use the money to pay off Keegan. This way the new owners will have nothing to do with that mess, which I'm sure none of them want anything to do with. Hmm somehow I think they'll wait until a court actually tells them its neccesary before throwing money at Keegan like

Last season we beat them with: Harper Steven Taylor Bassong Coloccini Jose Enrique Ryan Taylor Nolan Butt Duff Ameobi Lovenkrands

Yeah I looked as well Skirge Both are worth around 7 billion dollars.

Surely we'll see something in the papers tomorrow (late tonight) if its true. Well there's plenty of stinking rich people in Malaysia so I'm up for it

Leaked/made up. Maybe, but why Malaysian? I'd have thought they'd have used a country we've been linked with like American or South African.

Yeah we're fucking shit, still beat them twice though. Have to say I'm suprised to see the game live on BBC1. I can't remember ever seeing a live Championship game on BBC 1 before.

Strange that no other media source has noticed this like

If he wants to leave so badly then he can hand in a transfer request, I don't see why we should take any notice of his wishes unless he's willing to do that.

They're still being paid thousands in wages with millions in loyalty bonuses to come and should be made to turn up for it even if they just shine boots and make the tea Not as of today, they don't. I thought it was the end of July? So they're all officially gone as of today?, if so its a good day!

Because he asked Harris to ask them as he said he was going to?

Didn't understand that bit, why would Harris care? Or did he mean Ashley, and why would he care? He cares about his own reputation obviously (Harris that is not Ashley) and trying to find the best buyer for the club protects that reputation.

The next disaster would be to end up going into the new season with a 60m pound wage bill, a squad full of uninterested want away wasters and no manager. Shepherd coming back is like a trip to Amsterdam with 5 grand spending money in comparison, sad but true IMO.
