UV Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/columnists/simon-bird/Why-Mike-Ashley-has-to-sell-up-now-to-save-Newcastle-United-article108417.html Immerse the club in the community again. Contractually oblige players to do a couple of hours of work on Tyneside every week so they understand more than the training ground and the drive back to their houses in Darras Hall. I think that's unfair tbh. It's my understanding that the players do loads of work in the community that goes completely unpublished in papers like the Mirror (unless one of them does something wrong while doing it of course).

JH Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 http://www.buy-nufc.com/index.php That's enough persuasion for me. I'm going to buy the club then sue the bastards for using the club crest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucaAltieri Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 http://www.buy-nufc.com/index.php They reckon they'll find 500,000 people to invest £250 each. Good luck with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm optimistic that at least a decision of some sort will be made this week. Hopefully he'll cut his losses and Ashley will sell, but if not we need some leadership from somebody as manager. We can't just drift on with Hughton running the side, although he deserves credit for giving it his best shot. Ashley surely can't be so short-sighted that he can't see the club becomes less valuable the longer he hangs on to it? Just take what you can MA and let the club, the fans and yourself move on.

EthiGeordie Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 http://www.buy-nufc.com/index.php I would be happy to invest that kind of money but it has to have a phiscal address and everything. Aclub like Newcastle should be run like this. Just like Real Madrid and Barcelona. Just because the club is in England it doesn't look like it is viasable idea.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 ASH BASHED TROUBLED soccer boss Mike Ashley is being hauled before competition chiefs after failing to flog five of his shops. The Newcastle United owner's SPORTS WORLD chain has been slammed for missing a deadline to off-load just some of the 31 sites it has bought from close rival JJB SPORTS in the past two years. In May, the Office of Fair Trading ordered the billionaire to find buyers for five stores to ease competition concerns. Yesterday it said that Sports Direct had made "no significant progress in doing so". OFT senior director of merger Amelia Fletcher said: "After careful consideration, we rejected Sports Direct's request for additional time to try to achieve a sale." The Competition Commission will now probe the 31 deals and could force Sports Direct to give up the lot. The five shops are in Basildon, Llanelli, Newport, Isleworth and Harrogate. The move heaps yet more pressure on Mr Ashley as Newcastle fans turn on him over the plight of the club. A deal to sell the Championship outfit to Tyneside businessman Barry Moat could be sealed this weekend. Shares in Sports World dropped 2.25p to 88.75 yesterday http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/money/city/2580523/Sun-City-Market-report-All-the-latest-business-news.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the cheap/low wages he pays the staff in his sports chain the place is ran pretty much like our club.......................... but should he continue to flog our players then our club will be ran exactly like his shops.. Ashleys stores are ran by Chavs for Chavs... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
