Guest Roger Kint Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 So when does the bet and our nightmare end? When he sells us for more than £240m or whatever his current outlay is no doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 He's a very nice man... Mr Ashley had previously said of his European expansion plan “If you don't want to play, we'll come to your country and smash you to bits”. https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/sports-direct-boss-says-better-170558099.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Front Page: Ashley is a blot on humanity, not indicative of British business and a blight to humankind bringing back slave labour. Back Page: NUFC would have been of the same fate as Leeds or even Portsmouth if it hadn't have been for the generosity of Mike Ashley who steadied a financially sinking ship. Well put. Football 'journalists' don't deserve the pleasure of publication on any page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I don't post on here often (despite reading every day) but tonight is the night! I've just been out at a corporate function where I've been reliably informed that Ashley bought the club as a bet - and the bet was that he could turn a profit out of football. Nothing that hasn't been mentioned on here before but thought I would add my tuppence to the debate - the source is 100% concrete,somebody who has personally made several business deals with Ashley over the last few years and I trust them beyond doubt (read my limited previous posts - I'm not a sensationalist person) Anyway, feel free to slate this post and call me a Martin jol Itk bullshitting c#nt but I'm not! Genuinely feeling gutted that my club is a trivial pursuit to the fcb and that there is no sign of getting out of this current malaise whilst he still breathes! I have also heard this, although second hand. It was a sunderland director who originally told the tale if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine with me. At least I'd still have a club to support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine with me. At least I'd still have a club to support. I would prefer us to be in league one tbh I wouldn't bother if we were in the Conference if that fat turd was no longer involved. We'd get 40,000 in the fifth tier with a new owner interested in developing the club, and not one like the current incumbent, whose sole interest seems to be stealing hundreds of millions of pounds from the club.

ExiledGeordie Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Thing is I've seen him celebrate a couple of times like he genuinely enjoys it. So why all the scrimping on the squad and rest if the nonsense? He could create a genuinely decent side without spending fortunes and still make money.

He could create a genuinely decent side without spending fortunes and still make money. i think SD would be a bigger brand if it was associated with a successful NUFC - no doubt about it in my mind- his exposure would be huge.
