madras Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 the man is worth £2 billion, ffs that's £2000 million! what sort of hole would an investment of £50 million put in that? it's 2.5% of his worth, he'll make that in either interest of more profit from his business, it's obviously got personal, no doubt about it. not too keen on the idea myself, we hate chelsea and citeh for being a rich mans plaything and earning f*** all so can't say I'd be happy if we done exactly that. Aren't we already a rich mans plaything, just that ours spends f*** all on us. well I suppose he has spent over 100mill on us but that was clearing the bank debt (and I have no doubt he'll get that back one way or another). you surely don't need it spelling out the difference between say,abramovic and ashley ?

Nope, i thought was pretty clear in the point i made in my previous post. must've misunderstood it.

I don't see is as a play thing for ashley, we are very much a business, as opposed to abramovic and chelsea. Ah i see what you mean. I think Ashley did indeed buy us as a plaything, it went tits up with the bad decisions he's made and now he treats us just like any other of his businesses. Not losing money as the aim in the short term (and to get his loan back in the long term, which was his own fault for not doing the due diligence). We suffer because he fucked up multiple times, rather annoying to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We suffer because he f***ed up multiple times, rather annoying to say the least. we'd have suffered either way as no one who done due dilligence would've bought us (see belgravia and polygon). I don't think he bought us as a plaything, for me his plan was to invest a little in order to sell later and make a profit while also getting exposure for his other companies. he had to onvest more than he wanted after the purchase and he's running it to a business plan. we couldn't be much more different to chelsea.

Wrong - we DON'T hate Chelsea and Spurs because they are rich men's playthings...we hate them because we are not in the same league but have bigger crowds. I couldn't give a toss how we get success as long as we get it and you are forgetting that in the 90s WE were the ones doing the spending with SJH and KK - remember Shearer etc ?

merlin Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Ashley blew 100m back in 2008 gambling on one of the financial companies shares rising to a certain level by a certain time...he lost. 100m would have bought us some team, wouldn't it, esp if KK had been spending it....?

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 My only thought is that if you're actively looking to sell something in any walk of life, you make it as known as possible you want to sell. Unless they're only looking to sell to someone in MA/DL's circle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
