Guest MagicNumber9 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm giving Ashley a month and he's gone, I think the fans will drive him out.. He'll not be able to walk the streets, do away matches in the stands, or just any public appearance in town without being hurled abuse. Put yourself in his position, would you want to stay at a club when people are constantly hurling abuse towards you? Don't think so. His fault or not for all this, he's gauranteed to get it left right and center. When the right bid comes in, (Hopefully from a rich Arab that's gonna splash the cash and kick out Ashleys shit regime) he will be off. Gauranteed.

He will never be able to attend a match again without getting pelters. Selling is THE only option. I just hope he does it with respect and doesnt fuck us over financially before he leaves.

So many things running through my head this week I cant second guess anything. I didnt think he would be so stupid to allow KK to leave the club but he did. Has left thinking he might be capable of anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If Ambani's smart he'd wait til after the demonstrations at the hull match......thatll be the moment it all sinks in for ashley. might lower the price a bit. in regards to keegan, yes it was amazing when he came back and we were full of joy. but after the last few days can we say it was worth it?? we only get the extremes with him and ambani would be wise to steer totally clear of keegan and go in his own direction. forge his own legacy!

Guest Alex66 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Would KK come back without a very cast iron contract? After this debacle I dont think he would return unless he had things like transfer control written into any new contract. But KK would be a fantastic pr job by any new owner, making the part of the contract public would be good. Now could it be that Ashley let KK go knowing that any buyer would have to pay off Wise and pals? If selling was on his mind before deadline day then selling as many players to get as much cash in as possible with the side bonus of forcing KK out, I think I read somewhere Ashley wanted to drop the wage bill? Its obvious now he wanted to make money out of the Toon but I hope he now wants to get out as its not going to work. It makes me think of the 80s when the Toon were a selling club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 If Ambani was coming in then Ashley would have left Keegan in charge - which is more valuable....the club with it's Geordie Messia in charge or the club left headless and in shambles. Ashley is not selling out to Ambani. He resigned ffs Resigned/Forced Out - Same thing. Ashley didn't keep KK around so his asset just took a big hit. Just look at all the Happy Customers right now.... they can't wait to spend their money in his business now. The fact is that Ashley would be a terrible business man if he was looking to sell the club and then made such a short sighted decision to make the club less attractive. If he wanted to sell he would have polished up the club, put on it's best face - it's Sunday Best, hid Wise in the cellar and promoted the heck out of the "love" relationship between his team manager and his teams customers. Allowing the situation to fester to the point that Keegan walked, was not good for the short term value of his NUFC asset. All Ashley has done is reduce the value of the club to any future invester, so that's clearly not a run up to putting the club in the shop window. Of course he might feel forced to sell now that the city has a bounty on his head should he ever cross the Tyne, but what a stupid businessman he would be (which he isn't) to wreck the very thing your trying to sell for the highest price possible. That would make him more famous than Gerald Ratner in the competition for dumbest business move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 in regards to keegan, yes it was amazing when he came back and we were full of joy. but after the last few days can we say it was worth it?? we only get the extremes with him and ambani would be wise to steer totally clear of keegan and go in his own direction. forge his own legacy! It was going canny well for KK tho, saved us from relegation and a decent start to the season. How many managers resign or are sacked, and yet the fans are generally gutted and launching protests against the board? Usually u are happy as fuck to see the back of a manager. Really really hoping this takeover goes ahead. Anyone think its possible that KK already knows a takeover is imminent and will stay out of the way, ready to be reinstated? possibly even walked out to lower the price for the new guys! Doubt it meself like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigTrev Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 what happens if ashley gets in a new manager before the club get taken over? will you still support the manager ashley brought in or hope the new man sacks him to bring back keegan?

Guest Brazilianbob Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Ashley has always said he would never sell the club so I don't see that he will allow a few mongs to force him out for £275m. He might accept £400m though. However, he is a smart cookie and he will know that success on the pitch will shorten peoples memories. OK so for 6 months he can't go in with the fans but he can and will sit in the directors box and if we get in a good manager and start creaming teams the fans will forget all about this episode in the soap opera that is NUFC.
