Could further legitimise payements between SportsDirect and Newcastle United? Allows Ashley put some of the gains from one business into another.

 

If you're talking about transfer funding, not a chance.  The two businesses are likely ring-fenced from one another, with several liability, and any payments would be at market value (or an undervalue).

As bad as I think of those plans of putting some SD.com signs all over SJP - it could be much worse.

 

He could let paint the whole stadium into blue/white/red, for example.  :lol:

Chances are that sponsors are not knocking down the door to advertise there, otherwise it would be a valuable source of revenue, given how many of our games that Sky is likely to show.  I'd wager that they'll stay until a better offer comes along.

 

 

You think ? It's outside the ground isn't it ? Not much in terms of your advert appearing on sky so really appeal wouldn't be that high I wouldn't think.

Correct.

 

Actually I've just seen the plans. I retract my last post.

 

Man, that looks shocking what is being proposed. All for advertising WITHIN the stadium but not on the outside. It's like buying a council house and throwing brick cladding on it and thinking "It's worth a few bob more, now".

 

It's not and it never will be.

 

I sometimes wonder how a genius like me can be so skint when total know nowts can make millions and STILL f*** IT UP!!!!!!!

Ashley would be dumb not to let SD pay the going rate because he doesn't own the whole of SD, but he does own the whole of NUFC. It's like transferring money from someone else's pocket (the other shareholders) into his own pocket (the club coffers). I think he's smart enough to do that.

I don't think they'd get permission if it was.

Does out ever shock you anymore with this c*** in charge? He is the UKs sports biggest retailer yet none of the big 2 wanted to make his clubs strip. He cant even flog the naming right for SJP. 

 

Well you know what you can do? Buy the club and distribute them yourself rather than sitting on your arse complaining.

 

Get a grip sunbeam.

Correct, except Wigan are a club punching above their weight whilst we are punching way below ours

Yup, we should be beating the likes of Aston Villa 16 - nil.

The fcb just goes from one act of idiocy to another.

SJP will look like a tacky superstore not a true football stadium - and the heartbeat of a city in many peoples eyes.
