David Craig's on SSN he's just got an E Mail from Ashley !!!

John Beresford MK2 ? (apart from the free kicks)

DOH !!! If you'd just waited 5 mins

Insomnia Nope he said the deal would be a club record for Wigan. Insomnia's deal isn't. Whats their club record? £5.5m I believe. The Heskey deal. Which means it could be Zoggy His is £4m + Taylor £1.5m isn't it. ( So wouldn't break it) £6m plus Taylor if reports are to be believed. Oh right. It's an even better deal for us than I thought.

I will love it if Rednapp takes Spuds down, love it !!

Me neither, Ashley would rather cut off one of his bollocks than spend £12 mill. atm never mind paying his wages. Hope I'm wrong mind...

Oh fuck !!

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.

It'll buy 4 or 5 half decent players which could make the difference between finishing 3rd or 4th bottom. Going down will make the last 5yrs look like a cakewalk. So on top of the £40 million he's put in as working capital he puts in another £20 million in transfers and adds another £5 million (minimum ?) to the wage budget. But then what? There's no saying that next year he won't have to put more money in to keep the club going and more on top of that again for transfers. There's going to come a time where he thinks it isn't worth it to keep pumping his own money into the club to save it for another season. The alternative is relegation and wiping £150mill off his asset. Which makes more sense? From Ashley's point of view the difference being whatever he loses off the value of the club can always go back up if we get promoted, where as whatever money he puts in will just be lost. Aye that's probably what Leeds thought.

What a load of bollocks

Backed by a midfield of...... fuck knows?

"But our biggest problem is a lack of strength in depth. Why wasn't it addressed by the last manager Keegan or the manager before him Allardyce? That's precisely why KK left Joe. Maybe you should take it up with your best mate Ashley.

God I wish I lived in your world. Is it full of cute kittens and fluffy clouds.

Without wanting to switch this into something else - it does show some signs of long term planning which can only be good for the club. Lets just hope they dont forget about the present. The entire thing is just a total contradiction. Whilst it's blatantly obvious that Ashley has got no interests in pursuing his life as the owner of Newcastle United (today's news merely confirms that)... yet he's still got Wise and his minions on the payroll. I guess it'd just just be too much of a pisstake if he were to get rid of Wise now, given the events that led to Keegan's exit. Wise et al anit doing a bad job to be fair. A bum loan doesn't change that. Bit early for that. The time to judge will be if these youngsters make it.

Bravery 1.

Maybe he is making sure Man City don't poach him in the summer? Aye Kaka's insisting apparently.

No he hasn't he can leave it as it is. Kinnear isn't going anywhere, unless Ashley's bought the stories that JFK could be offered a job somewhere else (we couldn't be so lucky) . Like the ridiculous Sunderland link which sprang up when Keane went. Which no doubt was started by Kinnear himself.

Why the fuck is he being offered a contract now. He's signed up to the end of the season anyway. Let's see where we are then. Another one of Ashley's brilliant decisions.

Well, no. Since Kinnear has been the one telling the press he wanted Riise I pretty much think we were after Riise. JFK probably knows as little as we do when it comes to transfer dealings/targets and their likelihood of coming off. He takes what he's given. Another symptom of the tremendous way forward we're taking under Ashley.

"Jô scored 14 goals in his first 18 appearances for CSKA Moscow. In the UEFA Champions League, Jo scored two goals in the matches against Inter Milan, one being in the dramatic 4-2 loss at the San Siro" 53 appearances for CSKA scoring 30 goals in total. Thought to have cost Citeh £19 mill.....all according to Wiki. Hell of a loan deal if we could get him and Ashley would pay his wages.
