LRD Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Clearing his debt with the extra tv money over 4 to 5 seasons with money left for players instead of not doing anything with those profits. Without his leverage on the 'loan interest', we can then sell the advertising space for revenue that goes back into the club. Nah, too difficult for some to comprehend. Ashley's done well for the club. You Sir, Can eat my cheesy helmet. Right after a p*ss. Your mental, He's raped the club and the fans You can keep your helmet on. Dave knows.

Unbelievable Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 If Ahley had put the 20 million a year of his own money in as promised for the last 7 years, allowed the club to spend the money it makes rather than posting huge profits year on year, knew how to grow commercial revenues rather than use us as a SD billboard and bothered to appoint a good manager and staff we could very feasibly be challenging for Champions League tbh.

And there's our problem and why he'll probably end up with Rangers eventually. He doesn't give a shit about the fans or particularly what happens on the pitch other than being safe. Spurs do what you do pretty much and have played in the Champions League once. Putting yourself in Ashley's mindset, why spend that and go through that bother just to qualify for the Europa League?

Unbelievable Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Why not? Spurs have seen their on and off the pitch profile grow immensely during that period, and I'm pretty sure their owner(s) could sell at a significant profit if they wanted to. Why buy a PL club and not even try to make it the best it can be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm not disagreeing with you by the way. Even without £20m a year of his own money, that's what we should be doing and should be aiming for. But as I said, we know what Mike Ashley's like, he's not going to put that money in to finish 5th-6th with possibility of maybe finishing ahead of someone like Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd once they sort their shit out.

manorpark Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Mike Ashley snubs Newcastle MP's peace offering P.S. Please don't bother Mike again. By Adrian Pearson, The Chronicle, 5th March 2014 The Chronicle can today reveal the blunt rejection Newcastle United owner Mr Ashley handed a Labour MP attempting to draw a line under the club-versus-politicians Tyneside split. Peace overtures between Mike Ashley and the Labour party were rejected with a ‘don’t email me personally’ reply. Last autumn, Newcastle Central MP Chi Onwurah sent a personal letter (see below) to Mr Ashley in an attempt to improve relations. Her peace offering included a chance for tea in the House of Commons, in the grand settings of the historic Pugin Room. Ms Onwurah, a great supporter of Newcastle United, was trying to build bridges with the media-shy tycoon who has set himself at odds with the Labour party after his decision to partner up with club sponsors Wonga. Her attempts though, met with just but a one-line reply from Mr Ashley’s right hand man, Lee Charnley, and a demand that the MP doesn’t write to Mr Ashley anymore. http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv345/manorpark_photos/Newcastle%204/Newcastle%205/letter-6773335_zps016b6bfd.jpg Read More - http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/ps-please-dont-bother-mike-6772951 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ashley can't take criticism - it has been proven on a number of occasions so he gets his lackies to deflect it off him. Pretty tragic when you think about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 In theory a British owner with a gambling habit worth 5.5 billion who made his fortune selling sportswear sounds like a dream ticket. How can reality be so God awful. Surely it's not because some fans called him fat? I truely believe everything is going exactly to plan for Ashley - he bought us as a self financing advertising vehicle for SD, and despite early claims he never had any interest in us achieving anything other than being on the Premiership gravy train.
