I'm sure it came out that he never actually said these things but could be wrong. I remember reading the quotes at the time and thinking 'this is it'
Ashley never gives interviews and Im pretty sure the paper made this guff up. Its everything NUFC fans wanted to hear, where in reality we constantly get told the opposite, cant compete , 5 year plans, no money...
"wallop"
Such a northern expression, no way would Ashley used that kind of word.
IT came out on a sunday, to sell papers.
Load of guff.
