Happy Face Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Eh surely if that's all it was about he would just put sports direct on out shirts? Not as easy to get us into Europe though. Wonga pay £30m for the 4 year deal. Tenants paid Celtic £1.5m a year. If NUFC invested heavily enough to challenge the European places it would put a huge dint in the finances too. If we then didn't make it into Europe it's a much more expensive gamble to have lost than it would be to throw £10m at players for Rangers and have them qualify, even if they had to pay off the current Sponsor.

Dinho lad Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 And I wouldn't say that "Newcastle in Europe offers literally nothing to Mike Ashley". When we were in the Europa League couple of seasons back, the SD advertising boards included the opposition's country ccTLD domain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is not to jeopardize our Premiership status with Pardew in charge, he needs to invest heavily, which will never happen. Europa League is a nightmare for them.

Guest thenorthumbrian Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Ashley has increased United's debts, is taking millions out of the club,is using the St James' as an advertisng hoarding worth millions to him. He is a proven liar, as confirned by an employment tribunal. He uses cheap labour in his factories and employs people in the UK on disgusting zero hour contracts. He is a parasite on Newcastle United, on the Geordie people and it will be the same for Rangers. He is a parasite on humanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the interest free nature of the loan/debt is being used as an argument by the club for the non-payment for Sports Direct having been plastered all over SJP I don't think any debt repayment is OK unless the club benefit from it in a tangible way.

afar Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Despite all the crap he's subjected us to over the years, I would be more than happy to give him my support IF...... He said look I proven I can make a profit out of running a football club, I'm going to change direction a bit now and try to push the club on. I'll make substantial funds available during the upcoming transfer windows to make the club competitive. I'll not sell our best talent unless a deal comes along that clearly benefits the club and we have suitable replacements recruited immediately. I'll bring in a manager and coaching staff that will challenge the best in this country and ultimately Europe. I'll ensure they have the facilities to make Newcastle United a great club once more. ... sorry was drifting off into a dream I think. The sad thing is that much if not all of this is so achievable for him and wouldn't require a huge outlay of money, he's got the foundations in place at the club. If he made some wise managerial appointments for a change and just invested a little (or even just recycled the money already generated by the club) he could make even more money , you would think as a business man and a gambler he would see the potential to do that.
