"He said he is desperate to bring silverware to St James' Park, but more importantly he wants to see exciting football at Newcastle.

 

He said: "I want a team that will go all out to try to give Chelsea a walloping, that will try to stuff Tottenham and that will be brave and bold enough to attack Manchester United.""

Security over Ibrox?

 

I predicted a couple months ago he might try to liquidate Rangers, move Newcastle to Glasgow, rename us Rangers and effectively have Rangers playing in the PL using Newcastle's licence.

 

Worryingly this is one step closer.

I was just going to comment after reading through the last 2 pages that there's some pretty serious heavy shit smoking going on in here. Total paranoia!

I'm sure it came out that he never actually said these things but could be wrong. I remember reading the quotes at the time and thinking 'this is it'

Ashley has been told by the Scottish fa that he can't own Newcastle and rangers and yet he is still going ahead with his takeover through the back door, his end game must be to sell us for a massive profit and complete his rangers takeover by virtual default

Selling Newcastle for anything more than £0 is a massive profit, look at the numbers. Off the top of my head, Sports Direct shares, last summer were up over 400% from when he first bought the club. It's served its purpose magnificently for him.

Ashley never gives interviews and Im pretty sure the paper made this guff up.  Its everything NUFC fans wanted to hear, where in reality we constantly get told the opposite, cant compete , 5 year plans, no money...

 

"wallop"

 

Such a northern expression, no way would Ashley used that kind of word.

 

IT came out on a sunday, to sell papers.

 

Load of guff.

That is simply not true. Before the relegation/promotion there were plenty of statements from Ashley, Mort and Llambias indicating a similar level of ambition. Hell, Keegan was ordered to London for crunch talks for daring to suggest top four might be beyond us without very significant investment.

Is there anything to stop him buying Rangers and just jumping ship, taking his loan and buggering off without us having a buyer?

 

He doesn't really need to buy Rangers, he's positioning himself now to own all of the assets (and he already has the retail tied up) he can own everything of worth and let someone else run the troublesome football side whilst having to pay him for the privilege.

You have to admire his balls tbh, he really doesn't give a fuck does he :)

 

Hard not to agree, if only he would show some balls and give it a real shot with us.  I completely get the financial stability bit, I am even happy for him to get his loan back - I get all that, I just wish he would do it in a transparent way (not hiding profits etc), without his tat advertising all over the place and show some ambition.

This. He has basically owned all the profitable parts of the club for a year or so now, no need to buy them
