Despite being the 54th-richest man in the United Kingdom, with a fortune of about £1.4 billion, according to the Sunday Times Rich List, Ashley wants to follow the example of Queens Park Rangers, where three of the richest men in England - Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal - have joined forces with a view to transforming the fortunes of the Coca-Cola Championship club.
“The QPR model looks very interesting,” Ashley said. “It's something that Newcastle needs to look at. It's got to be able to compete. Newcastle is not something you make a profit on, you have to enjoy and love it. If we had some multibillionaire that wanted a stake in Newcastle, it will help, but sell the club? It's not the same answer.”
Ashley, who bought the club 14 months ago for £137 million, also denied rumours that he is a Tottenham Hotspur supporter. “It's not true,” he said. “I absolutely hate Spurs and always have done.”
