USC has went into admin (he owns a majority shareholding), apparently loads of suppliers have fucked off from them.

Yeah, apparently the big names were starting to be cast aside for more of his naked brands to come in and be sold. Diesel say they are owed some money off them for stock that they have, I can see this a way of Ashley buying that stock cheaply off USC to sell in SD stores whilst Diesel are offered a small amount of what they are owed if they get anything at all.

Hi, I'm in Malaysia and there are some rumours I hear around these parts about possibility of some Asian Consortium looking to buy into a Premiership club. No specific club name that I'm aware of for now but would not rule out Newcastle.  They could be following example of Tony Fernandez and friends with QPR and the Thai chappies with Leicester.

 

Don't rule out this possibility as many Asian Businessmen are cash rich and need somewhere to park their extra funds. Its also a source of pride (if done right) and great advertisement for their organizations. Recently, a Singaporean Billionaire Peter Lim just bought Valencia and apparently he is now the new savior and hero of Valencia fans. Still early days but Peter Lim seems to be enjoying the limelight, at least for now.

 

 

 

And it was so promising until this point.

 

This all smells a bit like Barry Moat to me.

Had this sick feeling last night whilst finishing up that Keegan "Reluctant Messiah" book - when the likes of Newcastle & Barcelona were competing over signatures of players. SBR turning down chance to sign Ginola for Barcelona as he was too much money for his age, and Keegan basically saying well we don't have to sell, those times are gone for good - we're in the same bracket as Barcelona and we play in the same European competition. Those days are gone.

 

Crippling reading that. 1995-1996 to now. My word.

Lucky to have lived it as well though.

 

It's a killer though, great times to have witnessed first hand, glorious days. But it makes current circumstances all that more unbearable. You can see why some of the young ones aren't as affected as us.

Timed it perfect with just about to leave school at the end of the promotion season and given the chance of loads of away games to teams i was too young to appreciate when i started going in the mid 80's. Perfect age to start travelling round and enjoying some incredible football, think i would hate the sport if i was born 20 years later :lol:

Aye it's tough to explain to younger fans. Still though, wouldn't have missed any of those moments.

 

Younger fans need to sit the fuck down and read some of these books tbh. You learn a hell of a lot about that time in football, appreciate a ton more of those individuals and finally - get some perspective on why there is so much uproar amongst some of us when the sad apathetic bunch sit on their hands and ask for a smile and nod from Pardew.

Most of them doing that are old enough to have experienced the Keegan days better than we did. They're just useless, ambitionless bastards.

 

:thup:

 

I'd have killed to have been old enough to go away on a regular basis watching us then like many of the older crowd did.

That's a load of bollocks, most of the lads I went to games with under Keegan and Bobby stopped going under Ashley and I include myself in that.  It wasn't the older ones asking Pardew to give them a wave.

I don't believe that for a second either, I can't see any actual supporter who has witnessed the Keegan and to a lesser extent Sir Bobby eras first hand putting up with the drivel we've been served. The younger generation that has grown up with the likes of Fat Sam think everything is/was rosy. The older ones that are left are day trippers who go for the drink with the lads and somewhere to park their arses away from the spouse on a Saturday afternoon.

 

They should be made to read some literature and sit in front of some extended season reviews before they can ask the likes of Pardew for a wave.

 

But hey he's gone! And we finally have a chance to make the right appointment with Carr in the driving seat and prove we've been served a whole load of horse shit for neigh on 4 years.

Since when do 'most of the lads you went to games with' outweigh the thousands - still going to SJP every week - quite clearly older than 28 that offer absolutely no support to anything opposing the current state of the club?

Do you go to the game on magic mushrooms, mate?  :lol:

It's a sample of the ones you think are useless, ambitionless b******s.  They are a sample of the fans who went to virtually every game home and away for decades and a sample of people who I have never seen or heard ask Pardew for a wave.

Many of these were probably on the 20,000 waiting list and couldn't get a ST for love nor money when KK was manager....they didn't witness it all at first hand and probably didn't have the money at the time - Ashley has reduced, dramatically, the price of STs today if you take inflation into account so these people can probably stretch either regular of occasional visits to SJP from their Benefits or Minimum wage incomes.

You should be asking how many of these people actually bought the Bond on top of STs when KK was manager in 1994....I bet most of them couldn't afford it and those who could are more discerning and have deserted the club because of Ashley's policies.
