Wullie Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Have any of Mike Ashley's appointments earned the right to their roles? Llambias - Used to dish cards out for a living. Charnley - Used to write minutes for a living. Pardew - League one manager. Carver - Was previously Vice President of Bibs n Cone Operations. McClaren - Sacked Championship manager and damaged goods having been a national laughing stock. There's a distinct theme with every single one of his appointments and it's not only that they're all cunts. They're all useless cunts promoted/appointed way beyond their abilities in the expectation that they will be grateful and subservient to him. You can add the majority of the players to the list. There's almost nobody at the club who was employed with merit as the primary consideration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Got into an argument about Mike Ashley the other day. A customer came in with an ENORMOUS golf umbrella and I just laughed at it/him. He said he had to buy as they were about three quid from Sports Direct. "I get all my stuff there," he said. Of course, I went off on a (mostly jokey) rant about SD and Ashley when another customer who'd been quietly browsing shouted, "NO! MIKE ASHLEY IS. A. GENIUS!" He was absolutely sincere, listing all his achievements and his brilliant business strategies: "all is he has to do is keep his football club mid-table and reap the benefits." "Er, yeah, that's the problem," I said. He only spent a quid. Bear in mind this in Cambridge but I was still surprised he to learn he has actual living, breathing fanboys.

afar Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I honestly thought, wow there may be a remote possibility that he's learned form all the lessons we've had, with his interview pre West Ham. But then he goes and appoints McClaren. Clearly there is a distinct lack of any football acumen there at all. For such a clever businessman, ffs he's a self made Billionaire, very few people on this planet can say that, he doesn't seem to see the potential of making a hell of a lot more from his football venture, by appointing the right people and investing some more money. He's supposed to be a gambler, but the only risks he takes with us is negative ones, by appointing unworthy individuals he risks his guaranteed TV money pot. It has to be stubbornness now, there is no logical reason why he continues to make the same mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Not so long ago we had Kinnear, Llambias and Irvine, as well as Charnley and Carr pulling the strings behind the scenes. The former have all left, how can it be possible that we lose three senior figures (bellends) at the club and they are not replaced. Ashleys structure at this club makes no sense whatsoever. What the fuck do these people do? Ignoring the fact that they are all incompetent tosspots, it still makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Maybe it's like Brewster's Millions. He has to completely shatter the fanbase and he inherits $30 billion. I can't think of many reasons why he would continually make these abysmal decision beyond him just being a spiteful cunt of super villain proportions.

Made a similar point on Twitter a few days ago. #nufc haven't hired anyone in 10 months Departures: Pardew Irving Gilroy Ben Arfa Mbiwa Santon Ferreyra Alnwick Campbell Gutierrez RTaylor It's a dereliction of duty.

Dave Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mike-ashley-quit-newcastle-board-5834601? Mike Ashley is set to leave the Newcastle board after Steve McClaren is appointed as the new manager. Toon are undergoing a major summer overhaul and part of the forward planning is for a boardroom reshuffle. Two new directors will be put in place when Ashley steps aside – but the Newcastle owner will NOT relinquish any power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 So that means the board comprises of just Charnley? It takes us months to replace people so I wonder when they will get around to appointing the new directors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Possibly this has something to do with the fan forum insisting he come to a fan forum meeting considering he is (was) a board member? Either way, it doesn't change anything at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
