Nitpicking possibly, but surely if it’s down to Ashley wanting to sell, then there’s a disagreement with price? If there’s no disagreement on price then he sells. Not necessarily price/value but maybe continued sports direct advertising etc

We trade with them in both imports and exports so our economy certainly benefits from our relationship with them. Seems odd to me to use their funding of a football club as a line in the sand, but respect the fact that this is probably a more direct line in to our own personal situations, rather than the funds/goods we receive being filtered down.

Mate. Jesus, I can totally undersatand this line of thinking, but howay man You know large swathes of the fan base are going to be lording over those who wanted us relegated.

Likewise, implies he's just saying let's complete.

"Newcastle United, Staveley, and PIF have all declined to comment." Just know Ashley is going to throw a girly strop because people are asking about it and use it an excuse.

Bruce hasn't seen anything like Leicester is 30 odd years or whatever, now he's on target for twice in 2 weeks. How unfortunate!

Unfortunately there appears to be 50k or so supporters that are happy and NUST is working on their behalf more than us dissenters on this forum.

I think it's tosspot behaviour wishing it on anyone tbh, but I can objectively understand why people might take that view with MA. Bruce? Nah. Anyone getting teary over a couple of "fuck offs" and "tosspot" on a forum are massive snowflakes. So wishing a heart attack is ok, if it's on someone you dont like? I dont particularly dislike Bruce, the person, therefore I dont wish a heart attack on him. As a manager hes appalling and therefore he should be shot like a rabbit with mixy. No it's never ok in a football context.

Look mate, tell you what a lot are sick of, we all know the sacred fews position, we don’t need to hear you keep banging on about it all day every day, you hate it all, we get it, rehashing the same comments every f***ing day is tedious to read. Posters waiting for Bruce to trip up to have a fun all night taking the p*ss out of posters who just want to support some sort of NUFC , not Ashley, the clique will be happy sitting all smug knowing NUFC have lost tonight, wow, what a life.Nothing is going to change in a hurry so keep up with the bitterness towards the team and fans who just want Newcastle to win football games eh? The board is toxic. 50% of the posters are wanking themselves silly when we lose. The constant posting in match threads, desperate for us to lose is f***ing grim man. I don't why the toxic c***s even post in the match thread? If I wanted the Toon to lose and crash and burn - I WOULDN'T WATCH THE GAME AND I WOULD POST IN MATCH THREADS ON A f***ing FAN MESSAGEBOARD. I'd go for a walk. Go the cinema. Play on my PS4. Go out with my Missus. Hang out with my friends. But then again, I'm not a creep, crying for attention and behaving like an repetitive arsewipe. It is what it is, I guess. You are the most pathetic of the lot after posting that s****. f*** off you tosspot. You can't answer my point. Why would anybody post in a match thread cheering when the other team score? What's the benefit? Why would you do it? It's attention seeking and sad. Toon25 wishing Bruce "the fat c***" has a "heart attack". It's disgusting man. That’s canny bad like wanting the fat c*** to have a heart attack. The NHS doesn’t deserve that like. This is a horrendous comment and nobody says a word. Imagine somebody saying that about your family? You'd be fuming. Honestly this board has totally gone to shit. And yet you are calling people tosspot and telling them to fuck off? Unreal. Are you comparing wishing a heart attack on someone to a poster on a forum telling another poster to fuck off?

Everybody is invested in the result, hugely invested, and that's the point being missed by some posters. Why not have 2 threads? As usual there are a few posters that are at opposite ends of the spectrum who are rather annoying, some more than others. Makes me steer clear which is a shame. I suspect if you did that though, some of the twonks wouldn't bother posting as they clearly only do it for attention.

joint 7th last season. shocking regression What's comparing to last season got to do with anything?

I have to stress I'm not a Bruce fan, but selective stats are pointless.

Aye it was Bruce who made us good defensively.... But he made us worse attacking....

I'm just shocked you're not posting that we're 8th for goals conceded.

Truly shocked that someone doesn't think they can come to an agreement with Mike Ashley. You didn't read the article did you?

We're clearly riding some luck and Dubravka is having a very good spell. Can't see the luck in particular lasting. I don't hate Bruce but also have no interest in watching any interviews with him. Soft spot for a fair few of the players (utterly pumped for Miggy ) so find it hard to turn off completely or celebrate losses.

But lost 50m (of proven) no?

I assumed the Americans looked at the books and valued the club as X. The Don has overvalued it as Y based on potential. Americans offered £10m now as a loan, which if promoted this season will be exchanged for a % of the club at a league 1 value i.e. if promoted then their % will increase in line with Champ value. They have minimal risk as if not promoted they get their £10m back. If promoted, they have a sizeable share of an appreciating asset. Don gains as he has £10m now rather than using his own funds and a commitment in the future from a significant investor. Would have been a plan if they weren't so monumentally shit this season

How would Ashley fund the rest himself? Pay the other £20m out of his personal account? He could write off £20m from his loans I suppose. No idea if we paid cash up front or whether it was in instalments. Either way I doubt it would mean him physically paying over £20m immediately, and in reality I doubt he will subsidise it all now!

I don't think he cited it as a reason. I vaguely remember Ashley saying that Rafa only thought he was worth c.£20m so Ashley said he'd fund the rest himself. I'm sure he's reneged on that now that Rafa has left...

Combined with the premium price being asked for us, I don't blame them for not pursuing tbh.
