Poor Ashley.  I weep for him.  If it's a toy that he got sick of, well it happens to be a toy that thousands of people have invested time in.  The fucker is the worst type of rich cunt: a pleb who desperately wants to be an aristocrat.

 

What's that based on?

I don't care what he said to Hall to persuade him to sell quickly when others were sniffing around, it's pretty obvious he just bought the club to quickly flip for a profit. TV revenues were going up £10m that year and buyers were snapping up clubs left right and centre. He thought that by superficially tarting up the club a bit by claiming to have sorted out its finances, putting in place a great new continental DoF structure and a talismanic manager, enthusing the supporters, he'd be able to sell it off for a decent profit no bother. The person he put in charge of the club was a lawyer who specialises in buying and selling large companies ffs.

 

Llambias even admitted he was trying to sell the club before any trouble, within months of buying it.

 

He also made a shocking claim in a meeting with fans last month that Keegan’s second coming as Newcastle manager in 2008 came about ­because he was the preferred choice of potential Arab buyers. He revealed: “Mike (Ashley) was selling to the Arabs and they ­wanted Kevin Keegan.

 

“The Arabs wanted him, the fans wanted him — perfect!”

 

Unfortunately for him and us the financial crash put paid to that plan though, so he has had to settle for plan B since then which is to run the club like his other brand acquisitions, ie for the sole benefit of his baby Sports Direct. Having moved onto plan B though, if he can continue to run the club at a break even level or even at a profit while getting free advertising and revenue for selling club branded merchandise through Sports Direct (how much of that does the club see I wonder?), why should he sell?

 

 

Just read this. Exactly right on why he bought us imo

Wish he'd fall in a well.

 

Hope he steps on a plug.

 

 

Me too and when I say 'plug,' I mean 'Landmine.' And by 'he' I mean 'fat cunt.'

 

:lol:

His time here has got to be coming to an end. It just has to be.

 

Kinnear, no signings, still employing Pardew. None of it makes sense. He has to be thinking of selling.

of coarse he wants to sell but the same issue remains, theres no one interested and no hint of anyone being remotely thinking of possibly considering the chance of enquiring let alone bidding.

Is there anyone monitoring the situation?

Why do catastrophically bad decisions mean he's selling though?

 

They're decisions that all point towards him recouping as much money as possible. Cheap manager with a remit to lower the wage bill, all the cost-cutting measures across the club like the bore-hole and so on, no signings to save money and all the rest of it.

 

Our best hope is a few more midtable/top-half seasons (and I suppose a miracle cup run), he gets his money back and sells up to someone who fancies having a successful football club instead of a vehicle to promote cheap sporting tat.

He's not putting in any effort anymore. He's gotten lazy.

 

If I get lazy with something it usually means I want to fuck it off.

not exactly new to this window so there's no reason to think he's moving to sell now beyond blind hope from people

He won't sell if he can take out 20m+ a season from the club he'd be daft not to, with the new TV money from this season.

 

Does the new tv deal give the clubs the cash up front or is it season by season...if its cash up front i could see him ranking most of it his way.  leaving nufc the basic operating money.  Sell to generate money for transfers.

He won't sell because there aren't any interested parties wanting to buy the club. When we dropped into the Championship that was the ideal time for someone to buy at a knockdown price but all we got was Barry Moat and his" lend us a fiver" bid. Foreign buyers seem to gravitate towards London other than Liverpool or Manchester who have built up worldwide following through success.
