UV Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Is there no end to the evil of the man? He buys the club simply in order to sell it, appoints Keegan with the deliberate intention of forcing him out of the club, and then -- just to piss people off -- refuses to sell the club after all. Finally, just to rub it in, he insists on coming to sit in the stand that cost him £45 million. Makes Hitler look like Mary Poppins. Aye, he uses the safety of his kids as an excuse for why he has no choice but to sell the club, then when he can't sell it for a profit after a year when he's fucked up the club and put it in real danger of relegation at the same time as practically all other businesses have gone down massively in value, it looks like he's going to use his kids in PR to try and make it look like he's had a change of heart. Move over Mother Teresa, this man's a Saint. Watch out next week for part 2 "Ashley was offered £500m for the club but turned it down because he didn't think the new owners had the best interests of the club at heart."

toontownman Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Better off staying away certainly right now. if he turns up for the stoke game im in no doubt the majority would accept him, however it only takes a couple of twats with a banner or trying to have a pop and the rest of the ground will be distracted and we will be in danger of throwing more points down the drain.

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 best thing that could probably happen right now, IF he's learned from his mistakes the fact he's given kinnear the job for the season suggests he hasn't though, so it might as well be treated as bullshit, especially as kinnear has "revealed" it anyways the fucking gobshite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacking Kinnear right now would have been a colossally bad move imo. You don't sack managers mid-season unless they're failing abysmally. Kinnear has proven that he's just about adequate.

You were one of the first to criticise him over transfer dealings. Not having a go btw, you were right then and I wasn't. Not spending enough in the summer was really just an effect of the breakdown in the transfer system in place. At the time I didn't know how in depth the problem was, i knew there was something amiss, but no one would say it was so serious KK was going to walk when the window closed. I blame Keegan for walking, its his choice, i blame Ashley for putting him in that position. Two wrongs don't make a right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The ironic thing is, one of the chairmen in the Premiership that I think most clubs would die for (Gibson) only spent a net £500k, and saved £7m a year in wages...yet he's lauded for it and Ashley is criticised.

Hate to use the communication card again but Steve Gibson comes across as a Chairman who honestly makes the decisions based on whats best for his football club. I dont doubt that he looks at it ruthlessly from a financial aspect as well but it as much they way he puts it across as what he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
