If Oba plays anything could happen.

Well one of them doesn't take training so it's kinda hard to judge.

Spot on SSR.

16 year deal to cover all eventualities. mackems.gif

I don't think we did really, We need a right winger and another cm, I know we have injuries atm but our striking options are quite strong. Owen Oba Viduka Ameobi Carroll Xisco Smith Lovenkrands I see what you mean.

Has MA made a profit on the last two windows?

Investing in football clubs is madness. I know, in terms of return, all I mean is that it is now one of Mike Ashley's assets which will either increase or decrease in value. It's not like buying a product. I see what you're saying. His eyes must have lit up when he saw the price tag.......(the debt like a shark waiting just under the water).

Investing in football clubs is madness.

Really needed to loan a striker like Pompey did.

One huge opportunity to save our bacon missed.

Spurs what an utter shambles.

Good deal for us either way. Cash and player for sulker.

At last someone has picked up the phone and started offering money.

who's he done now like ? should have a thread of it;s own , wouldn't want charles getting mixed up with it. Are you kidding? I mean N'Zogbia! He must be good as I've seen loads of daft twats on here saying it's all down to the numerous managers he's had not seeing how good he is, rather than him being a complete cunt himself. A man after my own heart. I've been saying this for goodness knows how long. But it's never been poor little Charlie's fault. Poor Charlie.

mackems.gif I'd rather have Nolan. Veloso will either be absolute utter rubbish, or end up at chelsea or man city in the summer. Can't win either way. Exacertedly. If we get Nolan in I can see some hope of survival. NO mean feat.

Truer words have never been spoken. x100

ditto! he got the money but he won't invest.... he just see NUFC as same as his share products. unless he feel his products was in danger he won't invest. he just keep investing at minimum base. bollocks if there is no money. Yup and that has been the 'plan' from day one. As soon as KK sussed it he was off.

His company has never been worth 2bn. He bagged nearly 1bn from the floatation and city traders took on the other 50%. So it was only ever worth nearly 2bn at its peak. Plus SportsDirect International posted exceptionally good figures considering the crunch for the last 6 months trading. http://www.sports-direct-international.com/library/InterimResults2008FINAL.pdf In my opinion his looses have come as a result of bad gambling and poor investment. Us being one of them:( Lets not put too much emphasis on the numbers Kinnear throws about. This is the man who doesn't seem to know how long our players are out for, or how long his new contract is. JK is MA's mouthpiece and imo is clueless about the finances of the club.

He never imagined he'd still be here tbh. It probably never entered his head he's be using his personal wealth. They way they are carrying on is like NUFC has no income from TV, merchandising, tickets etc....

All this cash is tight bollocks is a smokescreen. He could easily have rustled up 20m for this window on the first day of the window NOT THE LAST FUKCING WEEK.

Perhaps if fans hadn't decided to protest and make the managers job unappealing then he would have appointed someone better, a few people did try and point this out at the time. West Ham were in a similar position to us with the manager leaving for similar reasons, yet they seem to be doing so much better than we are and the only thing I can see that's different is their fans let the club get on with appointing a new manager and got behind him. Equally, he could have still went on and appointed decent manager and win the fans back? I think he knew the shit was hitting the fan finalcially an used the fans backlash as an excuse to sell up. Now the fat cunt is stuck with NUFC and us with him. He knew from his own experience of buying the club that you don't want to walk into a club where a new manager you may not want has been handed a long term deal. A far as he was concerned the club would be sold and Kinnear would do a job for 8 weeks until it went through. I'm not sure how anyone can argue that if the fans didn't protest and Ashley putting the club up for sale that we would have got a better manager than Kinnear in through the door, as I've said that's the only difference between us this season and West Ham. what you mean is any good manager would be put off by working for an owner like Ashley because he had been exposed as someone without the desire to capitalise on the size of the club. Terim and Deuchamps were both interested at the time of Keegan walking so that doesn't quite back up your opinion. Interested until they talked to Ashley. I don't remember hearing about either speaking with Ashley as he was waiting to speak to keegan the night before the Hull match. By 'waiting' i assume you mean getting fucked up in a tacky nightclub in the states with a bunch of low rent rent-a-whores quaffing all the booze he could fill them with... That type of 'waiting' yeah? Whilst Keegan was obviously unavailable Ashley was on business through Sports Direct I thought? Unless he shouldn't be going out at night while out there. When he came back it was reported that Keegan was out in Spain. There was me thinking that the majority of reports pointed at him being in LA to try and break into the film industry... An industry he knew nothing about and probably decided he wanted involvement in on some kind of whim... But then again, what sort of savvy businessman would do that, eh?! It's not like he had previous... Also, whatever reason he was there, obviously wasn't something that couldn't hold off for a MASSIVE lash up (we saw the bill, after all), so one would have thought priority would lie in returning to one of his biggest single assets which was on the brink of implosion and certainly not appearing in public making a twat of himself when he would have known it would have made the situation a whole lot worse. So... Keegan 'resigned', he fucked off to the states, got fucked with his mates and didn't deal with the situation, had his mates release one of the most petty and juvenile statements to ever come out of a football club, came back and failed to reach a compromise with Keegan and then threw a massive fucking hissy fit and put the club up for sale when the crowd dared to question his intentions towards the club? Pertty much. Apparently he was interested in remaking 'The Elephant Man' with JK in the lead role.

What links? Exactly.

Link? Where's your fucking links?

He's been trying to sell from day one or that was the plan as soon as he got the club cheap. But he got bitten on the arse by hidden debt. All his fault. Totally.
