Mick Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 You're suggesting that under Ashley we are particularly more susceptible to losing our better players? Historically I'd be surprised if that was the case. We have used what he has deemed responsible (always arguable) over recent seasons, not lazily, not particularly conservatively, but pretty cannily. That in itself indicates a certain ambition. I was suggesting that players who have ambition will want to see the club show some ambition. Cabaye wanting to go was the player I was referring to and we don't know how the other players feel as it was an offer for him which started everything off. Many people think we get players here on the cheap because they want to use us as a stepping stone to a bigger and/or better club, I don't see why we can't become that club.

Mick Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-25603466 Sports Direct baby birth: Police investigate 'unusual circumstances Police are investigating the "unusual circumstances" of the birth of a baby at a sports retail warehouse. The boy is seriously ill after being born at the Sports Direct distribution centre in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, late on 1 January. Both the mother and her baby were taken to hospital for treatment. A spokesperson for Sports Direct declined to comment because of the police investigation and would not confirm if the mother was an employee. 'Serious but stable' A spokesperson for Derbyshire Police said: "The baby was taken to a neonatal unit where he remains. "The baby is in a serious but stable condition. The mother, a woman in her 20s, was also taken to hospital for treatment. "Officers are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the birth." Police were called by the ambulance service at around 23:15 GMT on 1 January to report the birth of the baby. A spokesperson said he was born in "unusual circumstances" but would not give more details. Sports Direct has about 400 stores across the UK and describes itself as "the UK's leading sports retailer by revenue and operating profit". It was founded by Mike Ashley, the billionaire owner of Newcastle United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the idea btw. Don't going to SJP or not buying anything at the club shops will never happen and won't get Ashley to do anything. A group of people, all dressed in black & white shirts burning down some of shops might get him to sell the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
