biggs Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Surely if he was selling the buyer would want to buy within the transfer window ? http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/allo-allo-ashley-to-sell-newcastle-to-his-ukrainian-double/ Imho wouldnt care about investment in this window if buying the club ,pipe dream if we think thats true and my only glimmer of hope that is the reason for no investment cos a new owner is coming in starting from now and spunking up in january Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Still astounded that fans who have the club's best interests at heart see fit to keep giving this bloke their money. No-one should be going within ten feet of SJP until he's gone. It would not be a hardship to give up a season ticket for a year or two for the greater good of making fat boy run when his profits dip,buying Wonga advertising based merchandise should be one thing imho but everyone has there reasons for buying tops etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Why cant this c*** and his cronies just be honest. If we have no money just be up front with the fans and set expectations. If we have to sell to buy then just tell us that. Why drag out the transfer window spouting lie after lie and winding up the fans. If I was told at beginning of window I wouldnt like it, but would probably accept it if they told us reasons behind it instead of playing this game. So frustrating that we dont want to improve as a team As soon as we got promoted they did. That statement where they said the plan was bring through youth players, sell at profit, not spend more than we bring in from transfers and compete for top 10. It's f***ing soul destroying to think even with the additional income that he's sticking with it, but the club told us 3 years ago this would happen. If that's the case then why did we buy Cisse when Ba was already scoring for fun and we were flying in the league? Doesn't fit the plan at all. Face it, they make it up as they go along. We knew Ba had a release clause which could have been triggered, and £9m to replace a £35m with the potential to sell at a profit in the future is right up Ashley's street.

Geordinho Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 He's got the season ticket money for this season, so he's not bothered about that. Crunch time will come at renewal time, next year as I can see this being the wake up moment for many. Someone said that the only thing that would make him consider selling up, is a huge drop in season ticket sales. I believe that time will come. His precious free advertising won't look too good in front of a half empty ground for a PL game. So pleased I no longer put money into this club, as hard as it is to stay away. The cynic in me suggest that this is why we've started doing business in January. All of the recent season ticket deals (10, 9, & 8 year price freezes) mean that renewal decision time is the end of January/February. If we can stumble through until the January window and then buy some players that offer hope, then fans will renew. It will be interesting when the original three year deals expire.

NG32 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think we will sign one or two french cheapies to freshen the squad up. Cabaye could leave but we wont be spending much. Not if Ashley aims to claw back 18 mil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that people will have seen enough now to not fall for any rubbish that Ashley will come up in the future. Which good players will come and join in January. when there know there is no ambition at the club? And also - I'd still suggest the players that we currently have will also be looking to leave.

Doug Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Look at Liverpool to see what owners who want their assets on the pitch can do for your club.

Guest neesy111 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 One of the local journo's I think should really write an in-depth article properly researched into what he's put in and took out and the look into his future intentions from this.
