If he sells for £300m (plus the 'interest fee loan') he'll have walked away with £166m profit, plus 10 years of free advertising.

 

He took over a club that had finished top 6 in half of all its premiership seasons, and top 4 in a third, had made the FA Cup final twice, semi final twice and quarter final twice in the previous ten years and was top 20 in every world football rich-list published. He's taken us to two top half finishes and two relegations and four FA Cup match wins in his time.

 

But, 'better the devil you know'.

 

Worthy of a quote. :thup:

If any sale does go through any time soon, dickheads in the media and fans of other clubs are definitely going to say 'well he's left them in a better place than he found them'. Totally ignoring everything in the middle.

Jeff Stelling gave it the "better the devil you know" pish on Soccer Saturday about us having new owners if it happens.  Ashley hasn't done that bad as we have Rafa, and are in the top ten he spewed. Thought better of him, not now the Hartlepool supporting moron.

 

Edit : sorry just noticed Wullie mentioned it a couple of pages back.

Jeff was playing Devils Advocate (as usual) all day (not just with us) to spark some debate, really the issue lies with all of the panel just nodding and agreeing.

Devils Advocate or not it's pure bollocks, to say Ashley hasn't been that bad, and i think his words were, 'was being a bit unfairly treated' is unforgivable. To stoke debate or not it was utterly wrong and keeps up the stereotype bollocks we all hate so much.

Someone should just reply to any such tweet with Jackie Broon's response.

Aye they certainly should. There's no need to even mention the admission of lying to KK, us and just about everyone else they ever come into contact with. Jackie Broon post says exactly what is needed to win any argument about Ashley.

Unfortunately the panel is made of up Paul Merson who only cares about London clubs, Phil Thompson who only cares about Liverpool and their local rivals, Le Tissier who if its not Southampton its not worth thinking about and Charlie 'Situation' Nicholas who can only speak in cliches and state the bleeding obvious.

 

Id say we'd need one of our own to take position to get any kind of level headed opinion of things up here, however after seeing recent players comments, i just don't think apart from Shearer any of them get it or us and cannot help themselves from repeating the same old tired bullshit which will appease the majority while they wait till their top six team is on.

Devil's Advocate or not, Jeff Stelling is the last man who should be giving advice on running a football club, since he's been Hartlepool United's club president they've managed to get relegated from the football league for the first time in their entire history.
