Wallace Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I hope that if Ashley is not planning to sell up anytime soon that he is looking to employ a DoF ASAP and a proper one - not a mate. I recall that when he first came to the club that there was a lot of talk about him knowing David Dein. I hope that is true and that he talks to someone like that to get advice on suitable candidates (wishful thinking I know). I think once a DoF is in place they can then get a move on in replacing Pardew as that would be the DoF's role. That way, we may get a proper manager for a change rather than a friend of a friend which is what he has mostly done so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the years that Ashley has been at the club, has he ever done anything which gives you the indication he may do that? Derek's coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenrot Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The amount of people on other websites that constantly find it ridiculous that we hate Mike Ashley and that we should be grateful for 'all the money he has put into the club' makes me so angry. I can't tell if these people are simply trolling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Always seems like a nice chap, Branson. I find it impossible to imagine anyone chanting for him to fuck off. He's a good guy I reckon, but he likes to go with what's popular or is a PR stunt at any given time and won't commit long term to 'hobbies', nor could I see him investing so much money in a 'hobby', and I fail to see how his Virgin empire would gain from owning us. So for those reasons I think it is totally unrealistic, not to mention that it was mentioned by someone on Facebook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he is big into charity now, so you never know he might just see us as a charity case. He also likes to try the 'impossible' - bringing a trophy up North would certainly be his biggest challenge yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tollemache Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The random factor is that sometimes someone will just really fancy the idea of having a football club, even if it doesn't really make much sense. I'd rather take a chance on Branson who seems fundamentally an ok guy, rather than a Thai politician, bearded porn lord or Russian gangster. But yeah, to reiterate, this story about Ashley having some drinks the day after a football match is so much meaningless wank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former Thai Prime Minister was born closer to St James than Ashley or Branson, he was born in Wallsend. You probably haven't heard of it though, for your benefit, its to the East of Newcastle.

David Icke - Son of God Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Remember late 90s when Time Warner (?) & Ntl were linked with buying us? NTL actually wanted to didn't they? Until they realised owning a Premier League club outright would be a roadblock to buying the PL TV rights. They ended up buying a small stake instead. I remember the rumours that Frank Williams wanted to buy us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
