NE5 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 If things were going so well, why was Sir John Hall so keen to sell the club (supposedly) 'on the cheap'? Answer - he knew that Freddie was screwing up, and he wanted out ASAP. SJH got bored years ago around about the time the sporting club failed. indeed, but he's excluded from any "blame" because talking about the Geordie Nation etc didn't embarrass anyone. Things have gone just great in the last 18 months, nobody laughs at us anymore. Typical reaction on here from comments most of which are spot on.

NE5 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 He.should.fuck.off. errr.......I hate to tell you this, the Halls and Shepherd have fucked off, and things are going just great now an automatically better replacement is running the club.

GM Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 He's clearly shit stirring with no real motivation for anything other than that. Spot on. Desperately trying to claw back some favour with the Toon Army. Shameful. “The club is crying out for a chairman or a chief executive who has experience of running a big football club. “That’s not a job application because I’ve had my time. But Ashley must find someone who knows how to run a football club.” Sounded like one to me though. What a nightmare scenario that would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 "But I am still proud of my legacy." From 2nd to 13th in the league and from having cash to £100m debt. Top class squad full of quality footballers, to a mediocre bunch of cretins (with the odd decent footballer) who are getting paid the equivalent of CL salaries. Thanks alot Freddie. Wonder why all the other "top clubs" from when Shepherd took over as Chairman are still doing well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a case of 'if you dislike Shepherd then you must like Ashley'. People can criticise him all they want, it doesn't mean they think highly of Ashley in the slightest, even if it's a point on which they base a particular defence of Ashley. Given how much longer Shepherd had control at the club it's no surprise that people look back at his time with a lot more fondness than they have the year and a half or so of Ashley's time. They've both messed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I miss Humpty Numpty, yeah he was a twat and a right old prick but he was still better than Ashley, yes we were ind ebt but at least he signed players. He lied to us but Ashley lies to us all the time, the man is treating us like cunts, Fred is right about getting a football man in charge though Lambias does not have a clue.

Syrette Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I can't understand people missing Shepherd the man. Yeah I miss the days of spending decent cash on players but I don't miss the man. As things stand I certainly won't miss Ashley when he finally leaves either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Liam Liam O Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 “He got the club on the cheap. “He got a fantastic deal when Sir John Hall sold out and set the price at £134 million. “The value of the property and the playing assets that he got was at least three times what he paid for the club. “He got a state-of-the-art 52,000-seater stadium — which you couldn’t build today for less than £400 million — as well as a brand new training complex, an Academy and a squad of players that was bursting with internationals.” Yes you daft twat, you couldn't build them for that much, the reason the price was so low is the amount of debt attached to the club. If you only include the assets & don't look at the liabilities when valuing something it's always going to look cheap. It's like talking about how much you could make out of selling your house but ignoring the mortgage you have to pay off with the proceeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
