One positive is that it indicates that Ashley has been 'paying himself back' a huge amount of money and, if we do stay up this season, we might no longer be in debt to him. That could make the sale of the club much more straightforward.

The Euro - US Dollar rate didn't really change immediately after the referendum result. The Pound plummeted. History suggest that there is quite a lot of doubt that the Euro will be equally affected.

It's got to the point that I'm not bothered whether we win or lose. The only person that will benefit if we stay up is that sociopathic cunt. If we're stuck with him I hope we plummet and become a weight around his neck.

Why should I gamble fixing the brakes in my car with my own money, would you? Just add it to the value of the car when you come to sell it, you could stick the cost of the petrol you put in it on there as well. Make sure to put "no tyre kickers or time wasters" in the advert.

Although, for the protection of my sanity, I subscribe to the theory that this and last year's takeover sagas are just an excuse not to spend in the January window... I had a suspicion that the Everton home match about this time last year was pivotal in the takeover, or lack thereof. I remember Rafa hinting something along those lines in his pre-match press conference. Had we won that match I think it may have given Staveley enough confidence that we would survive to meet Ashley's demands. In the end we narrowly lost and by the time results turned around Ashley it was too late for the takeover to happen. If the current takeover is genuine (from both sides) I have a slight, wildly optimistic, suspicion that today's result could possibly be just as pivotal as that Everton one might have been.

Ashley Madison Too vanilla, get him on Fetlife as an asexual babyboy.

It could possibly be a breach of the Data Protection Act if they didn't get the consent of the people in the photo. That would be amazing like. Name and shame the idiots and Sunderland get in trouble at the same time. The fines can be massive. I know of Councils that have has six-figure fines for very minor breaches that they've self-reported.

I'm not surprised, it was a fucking monstrosity! I can't see the Planning Inspectorate allowing it if they do appeal. A few bribes will ensure it goes ahead I've seen cases with a strong whiff of behind the scenes political influence (much bigger stuff than an advertisement consent appeal, no chance that would happen here) but I very much doubt that bribery actually occurs, in appeals.

I feel your pain. I once spent a flight to Italy staring at a missing screw at the bottom of the door, just getting more and more anxious. It was probably just to hold the carpet down. I hate every moment of flying, every second I'm just waiting for something bad to happen. Seconds feel like minutes, minutes feel like hours and hours feel like days. I know how safe flying is really but I just can't get past the fear of the fear if something were to happen.

Being interviewed on Radio 4 right now.

So that'll be the excuse for Ashley not to spend in January then.

From his author's profile on Huffington Post, probably written by him: "His strong relationships within the UAE - built up over the past 22 years - have been responsible for a number of leading Arab investors making significant investments in Europe. As Vice Chairman of Newcastle United Football Club, Tony was instrumental in negotiations to sell the club to the Dubai government. While the deal was not finalised due to the club owner changing his mind, Tony was nonetheless indispensable when it came to introducing potential buyers and leading negotiations. " https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/author/tony-jimenez/

He usually wears a black and white tie, is there anything to read into him not? Or has he just given up on any pretence of support for the club at last.

who the fuck wears lee cooper jeans?

Loads of random objections are just going to be a waste of time, particularly that of the poor planning officer who has to read through and summarise them all, even if they're refusing it. However, if people want to object the only matters that can be considered are amenity and public safety. Public safety won't be an issue on a pedestrianised street so that leaves amenity, the key terms would be 'harm to the visual amenity of the area' resulting from the size, luminance level and intermittent nature of the advertisement. That it would appear dominant and incongruous, not in keeping with the scale of the building and harmful to the street scene. Stuff like that.

What's that based on? Going off the images on the last page which says he paid NUFC £6m for the land and the latest accounts where we have bought it/leases for £50m. Surprised no one is making a bigger deal of it. I remember someone trying to mention it on talksport a few months ago and being instantly cut-off of by Adrian Durham who said the caller was about to commit slander.

That's Rafa's way, he will introduce in his own time. I trust in Rafa's judgement 100%.

Gotta love the spurts from Stiffy's shaky fountain of knowledge.

If you're looking for a way to get at him through the planning system I'd suggest something like applying for a pair of life-sized black and white striped tank sculptures on his lawn.

As I’ve pointed out public opinion can sway the councillors somewhat (if it gets to committee meeting and isn’t just authorised). However they are not supposed to just go with public opinion without legitimate reason and in the end it would be massively costly to NCC and would just be overturned, especially if what you objected too was simply a change in signage. I honestly believe anyone’s time would be better off hounding him on twitter, sending his company anti-Ashley leaflets, and organising a protest at their opening day. Anyone who has read my posts in recent weeks will notice that I’m all for action against Ashley and I’m calling for our action to go further than protests outside of SD in Newcastle. This however really would be a waste of time. Is there anything that can be done in terms of appeals to the City Council to slow things down and just generally make the whole thing a misery of red tape for him? Planning permissions or something like that? Not really. The likelihood is the only planning permission they will need is for a change of signage. Considering the building is ugly as fuck, it's a retail building, and it's on a street with various different types of signage above every door then theirs no chance they could reject it legally. It also isn't changing the use of the building, and as it's all classed as 1 building, the removal of internal walls to create one big unit wouldn't require planning permission either. It could also be that he see's it as a new location for Cruise which is located next door and doesn't have much of a frontage on Northumberland street. He could also just be buying it as part of his and his companies plans to move into property ownership. Aye but even if it's bound to get approved could we not appeal against everything he's planning just to fuck with him? From experience it's worth bearing in mind that strictly speaking a planning officer can only take relevant information into consideration. So you could have hundreds or thousands of objections from members of the public, however, if they have no grounds to them then the planning officer is required to disregard them. The only real information they take into considering is from authority organisations, such as environmental impact studies, police, English heritage etc is they have any objections. There is no reason for any of them to have any objections. It's also worth noting that if a planning committee rejects a proposal, then the council are legally obliged to defend its decision in any appeals process, and if they lose an appeal they open themselves up to being sued by the applicant for legal costs. This happened to North Tyneside council a few years back with the houses that were planned at Holystone. There was no legal reason for the council to reject the application, but pressure from local residents meant they did, in the end the appeal process overturned the planning committee's decision, and it cost the council £1m to defend its decision during the appeal process even though the chief planning officer recommended to the planning committee that they approve the proposals. In this case as any plans for him to move in would be pretty straightforward it's also unlikely that the decision will be made in a publically held planning committee meeting and would more than likely be approved behind closed doors. You're absolutely right that, unless any external alterations are proposed it's highly unlikely that planning permission would be needed only advertisement consent for new signs. If there were As I’ve pointed out public opinion can sway the councillors somewhat (if it gets to committee meeting and isn’t just authorised).
