Moat was never gonna make it happen and that is why I moved on from him as a partner and tried to go it alone. I was making progress twards raising the funds (almost $20K) when MA pulled the team off the market. The funds are in escrow should the opportunity arise for me to bid again. I'm confused. You had 20k sitting there and this indicated you were on your way to matching Ashley's asking price?

Hi Mike.

What.

The arrogance of the rich. What makes a person come into a business they know nothing about, buy up a club, and think they know how and where to invest money in footballing matters? Who the fuck is Mike Ashley thinking he can implement a 'philosophy,' based on fuck all, about how supposed younger players are better than more mature ones?

"Ritchie could have injured Alli..." Sherwood.

"That's a rafa signing, Manquillo. He can't turn around and say he inherited that. That's on Rafa, his signing letting in that goal..." Fucking Tim Sherwood.

I'm not a fan of Jelliot but today has hardly been his fault.

That's when the Sky "reporter" should've stepped in, giving examples of teams like Leicester, West Brom, etc. But no, they just sat there and stroked themselves silly that they're speaking to a rich person.

Care to point out how I've apologised for him, if you're referring to me? Is it because I didn't end my post by calling him a fat c***? You and Zero, yes. Do some f***ing reading from the stacks and stacks of analysis done by not just good posters on here but also on the web in general about how clueless or actually shady the fat man has been with the club's money. Not to mention totally destroying our earning potential and revenue over the years. Maybe stop apologizing for him in hushed tones? And yes, calling him a fat c*** would go for in endearing you to some of the posters on here who actually see the forest for the trees. Do some fucking reading? Ok, go to open the annual account and tell me how many advertising income we can get and tell me how much a player acquired cost in total. We are talking about money. So better back up your accusation by figures instead of "there must be sth hidden there must be money outflow" etc. I have stated clearly, unless the annual statement is a fraud, the fat cunt is talking something true. How about you go to read it before jumping to fuck me over? Not fucking you over, dude. Nor am I saying he's been stealing dough directly. The main issue has always been reinvesting the actual money we make in a logical, sound manner, and actually working towards increasing and attracting commercial revenue. If I recall Happy Face's graphs correctly from a few years ago, we saw not only a downturn in our commercial revenue almost immediately after Ashley took over, but our potentially lost income is probably close to 100m+ already since he's been in charge? He's actively not maximizing this club's potential, and on top of that he constantly goes on record about how we don't have any clout. It's gobsmackingly incompetent from someone who's apparently a billionaire businessman.

We need to just vent our anger at the fat man. OCK's post was pretty fair and added some perspective amongst the hostility. It's less the financial side of this which pisses me off, more the timing and the outright shite he's spouting. For me it's both. He's had a sleeping giant for around 10 years and he's not even bothered to learn how to maximize our commercial revenue. That's the epitome of ignorance, cluelessness and mismanagement. It's basically someone who thinks he knows best about a business he's admitted at every turn he actually knows nothing about. And wonders why the club doesn't generate more money, "it's Newcastle United." Eat shit, you fucking piece of turd. Edit: Ashley, not you

Two posters already on here coming out with softly-trodden apologetia for the fat man. This is the Trump election all over again.

It's incredible he still doesn't know all of that is entirely his own fucking fault.

One thing other club owners have is an actual eye on things like momentum, fostering goodwill, a finger on the pulse of fans' mood. Ashley has, from day one, sought to not only not give a fuck about his fucked up decisions and when he makes them, but seems to relish in fucking us over at crucial moments. Did this interview have to happen 2 days before our opening fucking game of the season? Way to constantly hit the self-destruct button. Fucking hell. You fat fucking fuck.

This guy is honestly the fucking man. Asking Big Al to come and score goals for us

Is it? Are you actually staggering around? The local lads that spring to mind are adored and legends. Shearer, Beardsley, Waddle, Gazza, Ben Arfa, etc. The s**** ones are called out for being s****, not for being local. Easy myth to bust. I didn't even notice that at first, class.

Complexion only a mother could love.

Can we all just take a second and appreciate this moment: Rafa just left Jack Colback out of the 25 man squad. This is why we worship this man.

Whooooooo. This is incredible news. Wow. And totally unexpected. Rafa is the fucking man.

There's something in this line of thought, actually. He seems to be the only owner constantly being caught off-guard by transfer "packets," wages, commissions and all. What world has he been living in? He's watched every single club pass him by it seems. Fucking nuts.

FWIW I think he's shite and useless. I'm almost in the same boat, but willing to give him more of a chance due to his previous injury record. From what I have seen of him, he's been slow and largely crap.

I once left a crusty, jizz covered handkerchief under the pillow, only to come home and find my aunt going at it in the sink with a brush & soap, saying to me "you really need to start using tissues for your cold instead of a handkerchief, these stains are impossible to remove after they dry." True story. I left her house sharpish after and found my own lodgings.

It's Charnley & co. who seem to be relaxed. Wasn't Caballero the first person on the list for Rafa? And we've been linked with Reina for ages. Clearly Rafa sees it the same way you, and most of us do, about our keeping situation.
