I never stopped hating him, and he doesn't want anybody to work it out.

Why did we take the loan out mate? Has that been discussed? Seems an odd thing to do At a guess because Ashley used the prem money and the profit to buy HoF and Evans Cycles and SOFA.com by paying his interest free loan back.

Is it possible that Ashley is not investing because Rafa is a fans Favourite. Starve him of funds and allow him to walk, rather than sacking him and getting the fans on his back ?

Too much body fat he would float. I was personally thinking more like the gluttony scene in Seven, Feed the fat cunt to death with Everlast protein bars form SD

http://www.cityam.com/265475/mike-ashley-snaps-up-freehold-house-frasers-historic It means Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley has paid more for the freehold to the historic building than the £90m he paid for the entire House of Fraser chain when he swooped in to save it from administration in August, on top of an existing 11 per cent stake he owned.

Look he's saved 20 stores Altrincham, Greater Manchester Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire Birkenhead, Merseyside Camberley, Surrey Carlisle, Cumbria Darlington, County Durham Doncaster, South Yorkshire Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire Huddersfield, West Yorkshire Leeds; Lincoln; Maidstone, Kent Skipton and Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire Plymouth, Devon Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands Telford, Shropshire The towns in bold i would have no idea why he would want to save though, seems very strange.

You have far too much time in the morning ? I want every one of his business interests to fail. Once he gets full control over Debenhams it will be exactly like HoF, screwing over customers and suppliers. The general public are starting to turn on him. BBC are certainly covering every little detail of the HoF story. All of this is good for us because 2 years ago Mike Ashley was considered a good businessman, and it was just bad luck on his part that he bought our club. Deluded Geordies etc.. See, nobody gives a shit about Sports Direct or whoever works for them so the zero hours debacle was always going to blow over. But start fucking around with prestigious high street stores and now everyone is furious.. it’s a mad world. It’s taken them a few years but everyone else is now seeing what an absolute cunt this man is and with that are beginning to understand why we would be protesting his existence here. It can only help our cause. Yep. Journos are really gunning for him. The guardian for all it's faults are a good resource. This is my Favourite piece in the Gaurdian https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jun/21/times-article-comparing-mike-ashley-to-kim-jong-un-was-fair-ipso-rules-press Mike Ashley, the boss of Sports Direct, can be legitimately compared to the despotic North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, the British press regulator has ruled. The sportswear tycoon had complained to the press regulator Ipso after an article in the Times suggested he shared many characteristics with the supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea The article went on to state: “Apart from that, and a common rotundity, there is no similarity between Mike Ashley and Kim Jong-un.”

https://www.egi.co.uk/news/billionaire-mike-ashleys-next-venture-is-luxury-flats-project-in-chelsea/?region=news-region-wales Mike Ashley, the boss of Sports Direct, is set to turn his hand to becoming a luxury property developer in one of London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. A luxury residential scheme in Chelsea, backed by Ashley, has moved a step closer to being developed. The Times has learnt that JLL, a property consultant, has been appointed to advise on all options for the site, known as the Clearings on Draycott Avenue. This could include running a process to find a high-class developer to build the 78 luxury-flat scheme in a joint venture.

I would still want Ashley out of the club, the guys a snake and will always be that way. He just cannot be trusted

Yeah thats spot on, but unless anybody knows the owner of that list then surely a Number 1 spot SD link will have cost the most to be there. So there the ones to hit most. Yep, just if he’s top for ‘football kit’ it cost him more than being top for ‘sports direct’. We’re probably talking a few quid here so sorry we’re boring everyone It's a petty little way of getting at him, so about his level.

Makes no odds what the words are, SD will have paid the most to be at the top. Only click the ads where SD are the number 1 result. Also worth hitting his other cash cows. SD USC Flannels HOF. What else is there ?

It actually is, on average. Really? That's absolutely crazy. I’m not sure it works the way described earlier though. Google charge for ad-words. For example, if someone clicks on the word “kindle”, Amazon will pay a hell of an amount for that to link to them. Gambling sites pay hundreds for these per-click ad words. We’d need to know which adwords SD pay for before targeting them (is my understanding). http://resources.shopwired.co.uk/articles/online-marketing/google-adwords Google Adwords works on a 'pay per click' advertising model, which means that each time a visitor to Google Search is shown your advert and clicks on it, you pay Google an amount of money. The amount that you pay for each click varies wildly depending on the keyword you are advertising under, from as little as 5p per click to as much as £50. It all depends on how many other people are advertising under the keyword you want to, and how much they are willing to pay per click.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42914906 Findings from that inquiry - including reported claims that Beardsley used racial language against several African players in the academy - were expected to be made public a fortnight ago but have not been released

Your mad you, after 10 years af $shley you still have hope he may actually run the club correctly !!!! Surely it should be A$h£€y or something like that? Swapping the A for $ doesn't make any sense at all to me ₼$h₺€¥, imo 10/10 for effort. Just way to much dingbats effort involved there. Although dingbats is a perfect match for the fat cunt.

You OK snowflake ?

It also wouldn't really matter, as Rafa would just have to not take another job and wait for PCP to hire him if they buy us. It would matter PCP have stated that no Rafa, no future deal.

Isn't Arsenal sitting on a half billion "warchest" or summat? Figure they'll cut Le Arse loose a year early and go in for wor Rafa come the summer and let him buy the universe. Arsenal will be a real worry if they bin Wenger like. To me Rafa looks a very good fit for what they need. Hopefully they'll be too up themselves to even consider it. Arsenal are a bigger board room mess then us and there is a huge power struggle going on at board room level. It's having a massive effect on the whole club, cannot see Rafa wanting to be involved in that after $shley.

$shley won't deal with pcp any more, so the deal is dead.

10 Million tax @ 200% on a 100 miilion business seems cheap

Even worse, a Phil Collins tune...one of the utterly abysmal ones like Sussussudio. We're definitely in a land of confusion here Just curious if you can feel it coming in the air tonight? Not sure but if this take over happens it will be "Against All Odds" Seriously. Against All Odds? That's all you got? Yeah Phil Collins is wank, so don't know any of his guff.
