SSFC Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Ashley's greatest ever lie is to convince everyone that the club owes him money because he paid off the debt, when in fact he owns the whole club lock stock and barrel and he is responsible for the debt To be fair, those loan are interest free. Convert to market %, the interest cost per year should be 4-5M per year if finance externally. No people here will notice or bring this out anyway. How much you think the advert space that SD uses converts too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 No-one should give him the benefit of doubt over anything, so people saying things like 'we pay less interest so he's being good to us' is pretty unbelievable. We could be paying the loan back with interest and have a more competitive squad than we do now if the club was ran self-sufficiently. The problem is we have an owner who's asset stripping and doing everything in his power to move money out of the club accounts. But lets give him the benefit of doubt eh? No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no going to pretend i'm an expert on finance or accounting but i think it seems fairly obvious that Ashley has been bleeding the club for years. Even thinking back to the Andy Carroll sale, that money wasn't reinvested back into the playing squad as promised. I think Pardew or Llambias tried to say most of it had gone on wages but that was total bullshit obviously. Whenever i try to work out what Ashley is up to i tend to think of the most greedy and devious scenario as default, do that and you're probably not too far away from the truth.

cp40 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 so basically Ashley has no cash, Nufc have no cash. but Sports direct have it all.

Absolute lies as always Just make it up as they go along. This bit here shows how he's stealing probably in the region of £20 million a year from the club, and it's only one of many ways: To put things in perspective briefly, according to Newcastle United’s last set of published accounts (for the 2011-12 season), Newcastle United received slightly less in commercial revenue (£13.8million) than Norwich City (£14m). As for the Premier League ‘big six’ above Newcastle, Tottenham received £41.5m over the same period, Arsenal £52.5m, Liverpool £63.9m, Chelsea £67m, Manchester United £117.6m and, finally, Manchester City received a whopping £121.1m according to the estimable football finance website, the Swiss Ramble. With Ashley’s insistence that the club must stand on its own two feet, despite serving as a huge free billboard for his more important business interest, this shortfall could make it very difficult for the club to move forward both financially and on the pitch.

Matt Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Chopey is right- if you had £40 in your left pocket, then put £20 in your right pocket- does it now owe the left pocket £20? No, you still have £40. It's all yours. Ashley and NUFC are the same. SD is not- he is a 60% shareholder and it is a plc with all the governance (or arguably lack of it, in SD's case) involved in a public listing. A lot of people have some emotional perspective that there the club has some kind of moral ownership separate to that of MA, it's not. The loans are just another way of investing in the club (with some tax advantages vs common equity). People should forget they exist and the lack of interest is used as an excuse for other failings in the club's operations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club has managed to improve on this front mind, which shows the potential is there for even more growth in this area. At last set of accounts ours was £25.1M and for example Everton was £9.3M - yet we are being told we can't compete financially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I've said it before and I'll say it again, crowd fund a hit on him. Just to shit him up a bit. Then give the money to charity... or signing a new player... or whatever. We could probably sign 3 players with the money come to think of it.

Parky Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 so basically Ashley has no cash, Nufc have no cash. but Sports direct have it all. Cant understand why Ashley doesnt see the benefits to sports direct of being associated with a successful NUFC, European and wider national positive coverage. etc etc. Because that isn't really his client base. The brand is down market he probably isn't really looking for mass exposure in Europe of a higher caliber. Just being in the PL in his mind is enough. If it was a more luxury type of brand then what you say would hold true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
