Guest nufc_geordie Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This guy is a legend. Absolutely brilliant. He really doesn't suffer fools and is pulling these guys apart. I only hope that he doesn't have Ashley wrapped around his little finger like these apprentices. Also one of Alan Sugar's best mates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealios Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Without claiming to be ITK I do know a couple of people who meet with Mike Ashley regularly and from what they've said its pretty clear that he didn't have the faintest idea of how the football world worked before he bought the club - its not beyond the realms of possibility that if he had a close friend who he trusted who did have some experience he would rely heavily on any advice he gave.. MIKE: I'm thinking of buying Luka Modric PAUL: Nah, he's shite, don't offer more than £15m. MIKE: Ok Paul, you're right, I'll stick to my guns, no point paying over the odds. You were right about that crock Jonathan after all PAUL: Sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 So he would take Kemsleys opinion over that of Wise and Vetere. What a load of nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_geordie Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Depends how well he knows Wise and Vetere. Although they are his employee's the impression I get from him is that he uses all of his resources available and as Kelmsley is a trusted employee (or has been) and they have known each other for years he would believe him.

Mike Ashley has pumped hundreds of millions into something he wants to own and build. Regardless of how big a personality that Kelmsley twat is, and regardless of how big mates they are; he's not going to take orders and advice from someone at another club!

bealios Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 "Nonsense" is a bit strong Kimbo - what experience does Dennis Wise have of running a football business? I'm not talking about managing Leeds - I mean at the top end when you're trying to negotiate for the top European players? I'm sure its perfectly feasible that someone closely connected with the Spurs board might be equally qualified to offer advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_geordie Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Results to date would suggest otherwise to a certain extent. Woodgate, Modric, Dunne.........how lond need the list get? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure its perfectly feasible that someone closely connected with the Spurs board might be equally qualified to offer advice. It's not about business, it's about judging a players talent. It was suggested that Ashley might take Kemsleys opinion Modric. The question should be how is Kemsley qualified to do that? Do people here really think Ashley is a mug?

bealios Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The Modric thing was said in jest to be honest - all I was saying is that if you buy a football club and initially you haven't got a bloody clue how the whole football business thing works the you might take advice from one of your mates who might know a thing or to about it. For what its worth I think the Modric deal didn't happen because the deal was done by the selling clubs chairman - he agreed Modric could leave as long as the club could negotiate the deal - and the overall deal I think must have worked out better for the chairman going to spurs - I don't think that Modric had a lot of say in the matter - as long as he went to the Premier League he was happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Paul Kemsley still harbours hopes of being involved in buying Spurs, I very much doubt he would wish to have any involvement in NUFC. You don't wrap a billionaire businessman round your finger. He's small fry compared to Ashley. You don't wrap your best mate around your finger either, billionaire or not. He may not have the individual clout of Ashley but probably has better friends. Rock is a $1bn+ company in the US he has with Joe Lewis, building casinos in Las Vegas, has other companies with Daniel Levy and he's in the throes of buying Carnaby Street and much of the surrounding area from Paul Raymond's Executors for £800m. Not exactly small fry. An old article and he has got bigger since but still gives an insight........... http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/media/article745385.ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
