Dave Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 All he wants is the TV and prize money and, as pointed out above, the free advertising (worth £25m a year and rising) which is 20% interest in lieu of interest on the supposedly 'interest free 'loan' he somehow owes himself, and which he has paid down not one penny. 17th is the goal, that's it. We're not a football club any more. That's exactly like us with Lerner for the last five years. So long as we could cling on in the top flight, that was enough for him. 17th is a success for him. Other than the fact that Ashley is also, as a person, a massive, massive cunt (which I don't think Lerner is), their reasons for being involved in the game are the same. All that CGAF / slopey shoulders / just don't get relegated attitude drips down from the top and permeates both clubs like a leaking fucking toilet. And that is precisely why the rest of the league, let alone fans of teams in other leagues, want the likes of us and you (and Sunderland, for that matter) to get relegated, because as much as it is always funny to see big names suffer, both clubs have contributed absolutely fucking ZERO to the league for years. Check this out, for example. This is our CEO speaking, yesterday, a day in which we've completed our 19th game without a win. How can you even begin to deal with people with this attitude? Fucking hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Football clubs need to be owned by the fans. At least it's not just us being sold down the river. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 If Lerner had bought us, he would probably have sold us by now seeing as we have had buyers interested but Ashley will only contemplate a ridiculous deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
