Guest fading star Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 ..what type of businessman likes to lose money and see a serious investment fail? A gambling one A poor one Take your pick A gambling/poor businessman likes to lose money eh? Since when? You don't buy into that conspiracy theory as well right? What kind of man likes being spurned by 50,000 people? Ashley may have bought NUFC to make money but it soon became clear Mike wanted to be liked. Then he fell out with a man had earned the affection of the city. For all his money Ashley became disliked immensely. From Hero to Zero, it might be hard for a multi billionaire to accept that money can’t buy the things that matter most. The idea Ashley is a robotic idiot who only thinks about money is naive. Billionaires have feelings too, odd ones that drive them to pursue profit long after the law of diminishing returns have kicked in. Have you been sniffing glue?! Ashley isn't going to be motivated by revenge when it comes to something he owns, which is currently a drain on HIS money. f***ing hell man I know Ashley's being an idiot but have a word, if you think for one second that revenge is a factor then you're utterly deluded... Yes, I thought everybody on here did. Considering the underwhelming number of people latching onto your little consiprationally theory, evidently not. I’d take that as evidence the practice is rife.

Pilko Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 FFS, it's not revenge and it's fantasy to believe that it is. Its simply clawing back as much money as he can. He's a businessman and his decisions will be ruled by money rather than any petty motive for revenge. Stop talking so much sense, you'll confuse people.

Stop talking so much sense, you'll confuse people. A couple of points need to be made here.

These points of view usually include a rejection of anything outlandish or unusual. - The fact that something sounds 'common sense' DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE!!! - The fact that this 'common sense' point of view also scorns other less 'common sense sounding' views, as paranoid STILL DOES NOT MAKE THEM TRUE. (2) A certain type of view expressed, usually one that refers to the 'excesses' that certain types of human being indulge in such as where they behave out of passion and anger rather than from cool business-like perspectives, are easy to "rubbish" as being paranoid, etc. These points of view are normally expressed because the person who expresses them has actually experienced human beings behaving TOTALLY IRRATIONALLY.

KaKa Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'm thinking Ashley definitely has offers for the club at this point, but not at the price he is looking for. I believe that he will accept these offers but will not be in a hurry to do so. Basically, he will only accept these offers right at the start of the season or worse at the end of the window in order to make things very difficult for the new owners, as some sort of retribution for having to accept less than he wanted. I think the decision not to sell any players and also not to appoint Shearer as manager is all tied into this. These are things the new owners are going to have to sort out when they come in and the less time they have to do so the more difficult things will be for them. There is going to be very little time in the window remaining for players to be moved on as well as new ones brought in now, and this in turn is likely to make the job less desirable for Shearer, which will increase the chances of him turning it down. Ashley is essentially using these as tools to pressure interested parties into paying what he wants I would imagine. Pretty rotten situation really.
