Guest Wally_McFool Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 bullshit.. the fuck are you playing at you fat bastard Unless any prospective new owners start giving Ashley a sell by date (and a quick one) to complete a deal, we are definitely fooked. This twat is just toying with everybody now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianovthetoon Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Chronicle reckons the fans could be quite vociferous against Ashley at the Sir Bobby game on Sunday.

Decky Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 WHEN we lose the first game of the season, it is going to be utter fucking chaos here. The first home game will be ludicrous, and if we lose that then Sheffield United 2 years ago wont even come close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianovthetoon Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Wonder who 'the insider' is Hopefully Llambias cos he talks shite. Thing is if it's all cloak and dagger and as has been reported already, the most senior person at SJP is an accountant, no one will know a thing, more speculation, the people ITK are refusing to comment. In addition Hughton even said himself on Saturday that he doesn't expect to be in charge come the start of the season. If there's no news by next monday I'd expect them to bring someone in as it's getting too near the start of the season. If we start the season with Hughton and Calderwood I think Ashley is making his intentions quite clear, he wants to fuck us up big style Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Absolutely spot on. It's not like people were rioting again when we went down. So the wage bill is a massive problem - fucking sell them then! He's just got a ridiculously good record of fucking everything up here, it's bonkers. ...and yet we search everyday for some reason in all his madness. Me thinking he might sell them and pocket the money seems wishful now. Strangeness like I've never seen it. You have a short memory then. we saw exactly the same thing last season when Ashley, sat on his hands after Keegan walked out, wobbled a bit, then appointed Kinnear as manager. Now he's reverting to type by sticking Hughton in charge at the lowest possible price while he fucks off down south and sticks his head in the sand. Just another day in the football world of Mike Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I posted this back in January!!!! 'Ive been thinking about this scenario for some weeks now and I just wonder. Ashley has the reputation of being a really hard headed ruthless buisness man who steamrollers his way through deals. Now, he has tried to sell the club and had he done so at his price of circa 4mil he could have stuck two fingers up to the geordie supporters saying 'I've made 200mil out of you lot'. Unfortunately for him that has not happened so he is left with the club. I just wonder if he is hard headed enough to run the club into the ground thinking 'I'll teach those geordie bastards not to tell me what to do' Okay, so he gets a 100mil less for the club but whats a 100mil to him. His Sports Direct have shown big increase in sales and profits despite the credit crunch, they also made £30mil on currency trading. It worries me that this man is self centred enough to do this and destroy our club for many years to come.

jackyboy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The profit of Sports Direct were down 91% after write downs on property etc. The company still made a profit and were reported as saying that they were happy with figures and that trading was 'solid' Ashley is a hard headed man at best.

quayside Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Sports Direct sales are up on last year - but profits are down by 90%. But they did at least make a profit unlike many other businesses who have published their results in the last few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 WHEN we lose the first game of the season, it is going to be utter fucking chaos here. The first home game will be ludicrous, and if we lose that then Sheffield United 2 years ago wont even come close. Who are we playing first game of the season again? Bear in mind that since we beat them at their place in January (hughton and calderwood in charge) they have lost their most important asset (Mowbray) and their only player capable of scoring goals (Fortune). Plus we had an absolutely rank team out that day, check it out. I'm not saying we will beat them, but to think we're nailed on to lose is mental.

If we start the season with Hughton and Calderwood I think Ashley is making his intentions quite clear, he wants to f*** us up big style You are right - that is EXACTLY what he wants to do to us. I have always said it was 'personal' for Ashley, he HATES what we did to him (as he sees it) over the DoF / Keegan affair. I used to get told I was mad for thinking and saying that / for being so stupid and melodramatic (things 'like that' just don't happen!!) However, an elementary study of people-types (psychology) shows Ashley to be like that - and he will NOT CARE about any financial cost to him, at all. HE has all the power, and we the supporters (and our club itself) have NONE. What does it feel like to be turned over and sha**ed - to DEATH - big time, everyone? Get used to it (if we even survive).
