Mike Ashley


Christmas Tree

Recommended Posts

Pardew is just a symptom, Ashley is the disease.

 

This. Who would the new manager be ?

 

Good question. If we get it wrong, we could start conceding loads of goals, failing to score and losing every week.

 

Exactly :lol:

 

Could it be any worse than it already is? Even if just for some mythical 'new manager bounce'.

Ashley is a chancer - he has proved this time and again both at NUFC and in his business dealings. Contrary to popular belief, he hasn't always come up smelling of roses in the latter either as he lost a huge amount of money on a stock bet in the GFC, money which could have built a good NUFC team.

 

He obviously enjoys winding the fans up because he knows they will never forgive him for engineering KKs departure 6 years ago and he will actively pursue any course of action if he thinks it will annoy them, especially when it benefits him financially as well and this is where we come to the point of decision about Pardew.

Any owner who wanted the best for his club would have fired Pardew last May if not before - it has been as obvious as the nose on your face that Pardew is way out of his depth at NUFC and is a failure as a manager as well as being a liability to the club's reputation. Motivated firstly by his determination to avoid paying up Pardew's contract(despite it being the most stupid award imaginable)and secondly by a pig-headed determination to stick out against and annoy the fans, Ashley looks like sticking with the status quo at least until the Hull game in the hope that we snatch a point or win when he can again allow Pardew to remain.

The chancer in Ashley will try to stretch this out until at least Christmas and only if we remain in the bottom 3 is Pardew likely to be sacked as Ashley fears relegation, but if the current form continues we will be beyond saving by the time he is finally forced, kicking and screaming, to pull the trigger.

 

If we get anything on Saturday, this saga is going to run and run......

I am curious to know where the £50M+ per season tv money is being spent.

 

Players wages, agents fees, repainting the Gallowgate roof, installing the old gates, new bar, refurbishment/rename of 'Shearers' and those SD.com signs don't pay for themselves, you know!

This is exactly how I see it, he will cling on to Pardew for as long as he can and that will start on Saturday if we get a point. Tied into to this also is a point someone else made earlier that he is so tight with money, he may well leave this several more weeks in the hope that Pardew eventually resigns because of the pressure from fans and media. He doesn't care about anything apart from the money and he will easily feel he has a few more weeks / months to see if he can avoid paying. The media attention also doesn't really seem to affect him as they have no access to him, so it will all be targeted at Pardew.

Why? Wil it stop us getting twatted on a weekly basis? Plus the team finishing bottom gets over £60m

This assumption he only let go off him when we are in danger of going down is not correct. We were in danger of going down in 2012-13 season yet nothing happened in the summer of that year. It has to be the utmost lobbying of Charney which can make him change his mind.

Perhaps he's not arsed if we get relegated? He'll still get Sky money at the end of the season, no investment in the squad next season, parachute payment for being relegated and he can sell us off cheap having made his money back on Sky money and player sales?

 

Just a guess, I wouldn't put anything past this prick.

Never understand this logic. He would get £60m+ each season we are in the Premier League, why would he be happy to be relegated and cut that TV cash down to £15m a year? Makes no sense at all
