That was a five minute rushed edit, on my part. Leave it with me. Anybody else on Photoshop (or any other editing software) is welcome to make the necessary adjustment.

Not his parents though. He cut contact after borrowing money off them and not paying it back. Top bloke Let's not forget that his mum worked behind the cash register, and his father handled all the bookkeeping/accounts (when Little Mikey fledgling enterpise was finding it's feet financially). First two employees to be shafted by Mike, his parents. Top bloke. If you're able to burn your own parents, in business, there's no moral obstacle when shafting a cancer sufferer (Jonas) who is just a number on a playing roster, and SD's workforce

I hear James Collins is still available on a free.. Him and Rondon would be a cracking end to the window You know something, and this might sound stupid but they've obviously realised the value of lowering expectations at nufc so I'm really wondering if this window, same as last summer, isn't some power play with intent to make profit but to push the boundaries of what is acceptable to everyone so far that when we end the window with a few patch up signings we'll eat the shit sandwich. ....... and the transfer market blowing out (upwards) has had a flow-on effect into prices of what loaning clubs are quoting (for a season long rental). 5-10m, we've haggled hard over permanent transfers in this price range. Season long rentals (attaining gun youngsters from big clubs ie. Kenedy) supplemented with bargain basement buys (with resale value) could well become the new norm for us, post-Rafa.

This club's ethics, under Ashley. One constructive dismissal case went against it, another one possibly in the works. The handling of Gutierrez with Pardoo's assistance - threw a cancer sufferer on the scrapheap. The annual dispute of team bonuses - an unrealistic KPI this season has been set, with a 75% cut (?). Could go on & on.... The club, when it comes to it's incendiary approach to employer/employee relations, is the football club equivakent of SD's HR department (at the Shirebrook Warehouse). What a shithouse.

Ha! Always is when it's the worst case scenario. Would you rather he consume a shit sandwich, and enjoy it everytime, when approached by reporters & camera crews? ..... because he's probably going to face the same line of questioning, and by now he's probably reached the very end of his tether at this workplace.

One could be forgiven for thinking that we're hoping for another club/suitor to come in over the top of us (after the lowball bid).

Letting him go was the bigger joke, he played one proper first team game for us and looked miles better than we have seen in that position for a while. Never really understood that decision, and the thread on him would back up that view. Looked a class act against Chelsea. Tons of potential there.

He pisses that many people off in business, never mind NUFC fans. Sky seem to love him. I mean, who in all honesty isn't going to watch the matches on sky if they decide to stay away? I mean his business dealings when he shafts people. Aye, when your own parents are fair game nobody is off limits (to this cunt).

Destroying somebody else's work, again.

Fucking gibbering idiot coupled with serious lack of eye contact. Shows he's socially awkward and a complete lying crook I imagine him like this when he negotiated the terms to which he was supposed to repay his parents (back when they financed his first independent store).

From that article. "This from a squad that is already among the best-paid in the Premier League." "The last complete set of accounts for football clubs was for the 2016-17 season, when Newcastle United were getting promoted from the Championship but their £112million salary bill was one topped by only seven Premier League clubs." He's referring to the accounts where some trickery took place, which grossly inflated the loss?

Edited

Gunning hard for the Balance Sheet Champions Trophy again.

Another one for the Twitter bombardment.

The desperation on display, on our part to eradicate a thorn in Sports Direct United's side (who has called out SD United's lack of professionalism) and pocket some cash too ie. loan fee for the WC (?) and the compensation payout on top of that (if Rafa develops an appetite for tournament football, and the Spanish FA wanted him to oversee their Euro campaign). Ashley is an absolute chancer. What a pathetic club.

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6896497/tottenham-transfer-news-geoffrey-kondogbia-valencia/amp/ Hopefully they can sign this bloke, and as a bonus (from a personal perspective) shut our PR machine (Sky/The Bishop) up. Powerhouse midfield presence, not unlike Yaya Toure.

Just watch this space. Fulham might look make another big splash in the market now (20m+, paid upfront), because we've provided them with some room to manoever during this transfer window. Had a feeling an installment arrangement (for Mitro's fee) was in the works, when Fulham reportedly were chasing Malcom too. ....... meanwhile Rafa will be digging through the bargain bin, with the ££££ from the 1st instalment. We are the consumate professionals at not being able to compete, by design.

Yep that's the point isn't it. If he said right we've made say £25m and all that is going on youth, training ground upgrades etc you could see sort of, the theory in it. What he does makes no sense to us, and most football knowledgeable people i would hope. What we are is simply a way to make him money because we're just one big billboard for his shitty sports shops. The man is an empty vessel, a moral less piece of shit. At least it would be a smart, consistent plan, and you could even hire a quality Wenger type who would love to develop young players. Even the fans would probably take it imho. Once read about the running joke (because we're so cheap/small time) that for a club with Category 1 Academy status we don't send scouts to youth tournaments outside the city limits (including the major international tourneys).

I'm sure he'd take some joy out of selling us to a shitter owner, however it's all about what he can gain from it, so best offer wins. Unfortunately there hasn't been any serious offers to consider. Or there has been serious offers BUT he isn't really interested in selling? Closest we've come is the mess Staveley made last year, but it looked like she was just a tyre kicker with no real interest apart from looking to pick us up on the cheap. Now, i know we want him out, but he's not going to accept an offer that doesn't suit him. I wouldn't accept an offer for a possession that wouldn't suit myself either. If she was serious then they would have found an agreement, found the £50m or so to make the deal happen. They didn't and it was telling for that they tried to use a dirty trick media campaign to force his hand (which failed spectacularly) rather than come back with a better offer, something we'd expect from the current owner. IMO it would have been out of the pan and in to the fire, only with less potential financial backing. Mind, Staveley may have been hung out to dry by potential backers. Maybe at first she had a few that were worth a fortune and they liked the idea, but for whatever reason they pulled out so she tried to do it on her own. This would be why she couldn't make a second reasonable offer, if so then see the original point; not real offer was made. Staveley met Ashley’s price for the club, Ashley then went and put the price up as soon as we did, and we arn’t talking about £50m here, we are talking another £100m, another third of the price. Staveley has the money to pay that, assuming Ashley wouldn’t put the price up again. However she has plans for the club which includes about £150m of immediate investment. Around half of that would have been for players. Another half would have been for the training facilities/academy, and stadium improvements. From what I understand it wouldn’t just be training and acedemy upgrades, but a whole new training ground and academy complex in a new location. The sort of campus that Premier League clubs are building, and something that would be for every age group could use. It would also have meant that we would be able to invest a lot more into the woman’s team and included a female acedemy. All of this is what Rafa has said is essential to the club long term, and as I have said it’s what the bigger clubs in the league are doing. Staveley was nowhere near a tyre kicker, she even went out of her way to being in the Rueben brothers who own land in Newcastle that is to be developed in order to not only kick start the development of the club, but the city as a whole. Give over. This is basically what George Caulkin said, and he's seen evidence of the bids made. Ashley doesn't want to sell unless at a ridiculous price - hence he put the price up to £400m. Exactly this. The lad I know in the Middle East spoke to Staveley, knew the people involved and that they'd verbally agreed to the deal. Ashley changed his mind out of the blue after a boozy lunch meeting, and released the 'time waster' stuff through Bishop/The Sun. Anybody who believes the Ashley side of this story, is quite frankly, a fucking idiot. He has form, for being impulsive & belligerent. Remember he had a meeting with Sheik Mansour's people scheduled, he got on the piss, turned into Billy Bignuts and supposedly told an offsider something like "Fuck them (SM's people), they can come to me". Mansour turned his attention to City, and the rest is history. I can believe the story of the boozy lunch meeting, and Ashley doing his best impersonation of a East End gangster.

The prick is has to be fully aware of this. Ashley's business model aside. and the parasitic dynamic he & SD benefits from. Given that the fanbase rejected him (after Keegangate), as a bonus he must revell in being The Man that effectively has a major one-team city, whose social fabric is intrinsically linked to it's club's fortunes, squashed beneath his thumb (out of spite). it'll get nowhere that like, the Onwurah thing....country is owned by money, football is a shining example of everything that's wrong no way they do or say a fucking thing about it imo I'm not commenting on whether or not it will be effective, or put the fear of God into him. Merely stating that he is aware of the status he has, and the power that he wields.

Want to see Wolves' stadium expansion (the final two stages were abandoned, when they were last relegated) put back on track. Good luck to them, at least they're showing some ambition in the market. Hope they're able to stay up and build on it, even if it comes at the expense of our zombie club/Ashley's Sports Direct United

Somebody took the piss in that thread by claiming that we'll bid 2.95m. Humour aside it's probably not far from the mark, given that our haggling over an already low release-fee was one of the reasons why Lejeune's transfer turned into a two month (approx) saga.
