I'd love him to come back and I'm pretty sure come sept 2nd he will be as number 10.

FYP

I know Villa beat Pool last night but I can see them struggling this season, I can't see them being near the top 4. They've lost Barry who was key to their play, theyve also lost Laursen who was another Key player even if he did only play 20 games or whatever last season (mainly when Villa were on fire), other teams have strengthened I can see them finding it difficult to get top 8.

Simpson CB? You mentalist.

Is it worth boycitting Barclays? It'd have to be properly organised to make it worthwhile, rather than personal protest. I've got a barclays account and i'm not going to cancel it unless there's a widespread boycott. I'd cancel it but then I'd have to faf on when I renew my mortgage.

I agree, Ashley should clear it and add it to the loan we already have with him, then we repay when in the prem season on season.

Tsunami?

He's been in talks with them for days. never been confirmed though has it. There was a photgraph of him outside their stadium. he was in our stadium and we havnt had talks confirmed. Thats because he lives here with his wife and wanted to see a match, why would he go and stand outside notts counties stadium when there is no match ongoing and he has no other reason to be there or anywhere near there.

Yeha he's number 9 iirc.

Because he's worth less than the overdraft is for would be my thinking. But surely on paper he'd be worth more if he owned the club. I'd be worth more if Barclays lent me the money to buy Microsoft, can't see it though.

Where did you get this from? There's no way the club's worth anything like £200m+. Writing off that loan has to be part of any realistic deal surely. The key word there is realistic. I don't any more than anyone else on here but I could well believe that Ashley's insistence on recovering his loan is a key reason for there being no takers so far. I've seen nothing from any reliable source that indicates the loan is being written off. When you buy a business you inherit its assets and liabilities and the loan is simply a liability of the company. It is indeed, I put it in specifically. If Ashley is attempting to the sell the club for £100m plus £110m debt to Ashley plus any overdraft, then any and all bids have almost certainly been pure fabrications. If he is trying to sell the club for that, then he isn't seriously trying to sell it at all. (I don't believe this is the case.) The only realistic way he could sell the club for anything like £100m is if he wrote off the debt. If this is the case and if the money from player sales is going towards reducing that debt, then should a sale go through he is effectively "trousering the cash" as it is reducing his losses and is money the club will never see again. How does he get that cash out of the club though? People on here who are significantly more clued up on finances than I keep saying it would be illegal. There's nothing illegal about paying off a debt. The debt is to Ashley. The money would go into Ashley's bank account. Yeah but its unlikely we've received much as the transfer will be over a few years.

Well its not going into Ashleys pocket as like everyones said, its illegal and since the books have been made public to those whoa re after the club then it would have shown up. Transfers nowadays very rarely are paid in one fee, its probably that we are paid monthly installments and as yet have not received much or any of this.

Doesn't that amount to embezzlement, ie illegal? no, he owns the club outright, he can take as much out as he likes, even if it's a detrimental to his buisiness (club). He isn't an employee and doesn't pay himself a salary so the only way to get money out of the business is by paying a dividend. Since the club is technically insolvent it is illegal to pay dividends so any suggestion that Ashley is trousering transfer money is bollox. how the f*** does he make a living out of this club then? Just thinking, does anyone think this is the general consensus amongst most fans? Surely they dont think he makes money when we sell players etc. There are definitely a decent number of fans who think Ashley personally pockets club income - season ticket sales, match day revenues, transfer fees etc. Its understandable to some extent because any trust between Ashley and the fans was blown to pieces ages ago. And we wonder why people class us as a bunch of dribbling neanderthals.

If he signs for barca I'll eat my pen.

It was common knowledge tbf, but yeah this certainly increases the pressure on them. We should start a petition stating if they don't give them the overdraft we'll all pull out of barclays whoever banks with them anyway, if they approve it well all join barclays.

He doesn't. He makes a living from buying shares and selling them at a profit. He makes nothing from NUFC, in fact he's lost something like 1.5Bn sincebuying us.

He can't 'trouser' the cash as thats illegal. Also we proabably havent received the fees for the players yet or at least not most of it, we are still getting money from selling milner and the zog.
