Nobody Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Does everyone who has offered £100m, proven funds, appointed lawyers and accountants, get this discount? Or is it a load of crap from the media who know nothing yet? Bit ironic They are direct quotes from Mr Ashley. Quite a reasonable source as it happens. You might want to consider that statement...

Nicky Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 If anyones interested, in todays Mirror there was a small article about it. Said Moat expected to hear before yesterdays game, has another meeting arranged with Ashley on tuesday to sort out the "finer points" of the deal, and that he will definately know one way or the other by wednesday. So basically they don't know either... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Only just seen Ashley's latest gibberings on .com. And I didn't think he could prove himself to be any more of a cunt than before. Well played Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToonBart Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ask "Mr Ashley" He seems to be ITK Time to call it a day, Geoff. This.... I think Geoff, its pretty clear that various people have tried to do buy now pay later deals which he doesnt want. All consortiums should now put up or shut up or publically come out and contradict any of what Ashleys said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The problem is (and of course Ashley can't see it) the squad is nowhere near strong enough if we get promoted. We'd get slaughtered by the likes of Arsenal and even Spurs with the likes of R Taylor and Harewood (FFS) and Butt. On one hand he says he knows nothing about football and on the other he has to have final say in who's bought? I just want him and his scabby greasy liar of a friend to f*** off, I'd rather have Moat with no money than that waster who has money but refuses to build up the club. GET OUT OF OUR CLUB! It is his club he owns it..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustynrg, no team can be expected to be strong enough for the Premiership when they're still in the Championship, the time the strengthen for the Premiership is in the summer after promotion.

Teasy Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 “I have to put £20m a year into the club — I spend more than every other fan put together puts into the club each year." What a load of bull. Despite the man being a cunt I've always defended the fact that he hasn't made money from the club and has subsidised it every year. But that statement is utter bollocks. Revenue from fans last year (well last financial statement) came to around £54m, you'd think he'd be aware of that wouldn't you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 If Barry can't afford 80 Mil? up front I think he can't afford to have this club..... It is really low price for this football club..... It's not really. Even at £80million, NUFC as it stands is very much overpriced at that figure. I mean, what are our assets that make us worth that much? The playing squad certainly isn't - the training ground is probs worth a few quid and the club don't own St James Park, so it cannot be called an asset. If Ashley keeps on fannying about, doesn't invest in January and we don't get promoted - what are we going to be worth then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have praised the continued support to the team instead of saying his money is worth more than the fans. Keep alienating the fans and and he will have to put in even more money to keep the club going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiekev Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 “I have to put £20m a year into the club — I spend more than every other fan put together puts into the club each year." What he forgets is that to a normal working class family the money we spend on season tickets, replica shirts, transport to away games etc is pretty much similar to a billionaire throwing a couple million at his investment. We don't have the money he has to squander "christ he blows as much if not more per year on overpriced bubbly and at the tables". If any of the fans had his kind of cash at their disposal then I'm sure we would have made a better go at owning the club than this prick.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really. Even at £80million, NUFC as it stands is very much overpriced at that figure. I mean, what are our assets that make us worth that much? Fan base, anything that brings in over £50m a year is a pretty big asset. Does it make the club worth £80m in its current state?, hard to say since we don't know exactly what state the club is in.

Dustynrg, no team can be expected to be strong enough for the Premiership when they're still in the Championship, the time the strengthen for the Premiership is in the summer after promotion. Fair enough,but my point is if Ashley is still in charge when and if we get promoted there is no earthly chance of him strengthening the squad, he will think he can get away with spending no money. On his previous form there's no hope of him strengthening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's just a load of bollocks so the fans will lay off him because they think something is happening. He's just hoping we can somehow scrape back up to the prem with him being cheap just like his retail outlets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
