Guest neesy111 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ashley joining the board probably makes it worse. More cost cutting on the way imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually managed to skim right over that bit. Wonder what the point is. maybe with more control in the day to day running of the club he'll see how bad Pardew is and sack him? ...sorry I think I just dropped some of the straws I was clutching!

Guest chopey Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ashley joining the board is just lip service he has total control now anyway, I bet he can tell you the wholesale and retail price of everything in the club shop right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I know we want him out, but seriously where the hell would that leave us? With a shred of hope that we might actually progress? http://telly.com/1I052JQ?sg=1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually managed to skim right over that bit. Wonder what the point is. made me curious too, maybe a more hands on approach from now on? if he's selling shares in SD to satisfy investors and has just been knocked back for that massive bonus scheme, perhaps it's a paper move to distance him from the running of SD somewhat...he can point to a status on the NUFC board and claim he's involved in that, or some bollocks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Won't have just done that so that he can pay himself a bonus, or does it not work like that? nah he doesn't need to do that and doesn't seem to do it at SD, doesn't take a salary or bonus or whatever from there either...if he perceives himself to be 140m down or whatever a bonus or salary as a director isn't gonna do bollocks really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
