I'm sure it came out that he never actually said these things but could be wrong.

"wallop" Such a northern expression, no way would Ashley used that kind of word. IT came out on a sunday, to sell papers. Load of guff. That is simply not true. Before the relegation/promotion there were plenty of statements from Ashley, Mort and Llambias indicating a similar level of ambition. Hell, Keegan was ordered to London for crunch talks for daring to suggest top four might be beyond us without very significant investment. Ashley never came out and said a peep. Mort may have done but I dont ever recall them saying they wanted to compete at the very top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ashley has been told by the Scottish fa that he can't own Newcastle and rangers and yet he is still going ahead with his takeover through the back door, his end game must be to sell us for a massive profit and complete his rangers takeover by virtual default doubt that bit like Selling Newcastle for anything more than £0 is a massive profit, look at the numbers. Off the top of my head, Sports Direct shares, last summer were up over 400% from when he first bought the club. It's served its purpose magnificently for him. There is more to it than that. Since he bought us the likes of JJB have fallen where he has invested to buy a lot of their stores, JD Sports went in a bad spell and he bought a % in them. He has bought various other businesses under Sports Direct. Some of the businesses he bought were suppliers to Sports Direct. Yes since he bought us Sports Direct has increased massively, however to say that's down to his ownership of us would be the wrong conclusion, all you see there is a correlation and if you look closer you'll see the true cause and effect.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think a lot of Sports Direct's success is down to stuff that has happened completely independent of NUFC. Obviously the advertising is good for them, but the economic downturn, buying up competitors and other brands, all that stuff has helped them dominate the market.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is there anything to stop him buying Rangers and just jumping ship, taking his loan and buggering off without us having a buyer? He doesn't really need to buy Rangers, he's positioning himself now to own all of the assets (and he already has the retail tied up) he can own everything of worth and let someone else run the troublesome football side whilst having to pay him for the privilege. This. He has basically owned all the profitable parts of the club for a year or so now, no need to buy them This concerns me somewhat, in the sense that he'll probably get ideas in his head about us if/when he comes to sell. I think he'll want to sell all the shit that gives him headaches and is vulnerable to losing money (the football stuff) and keep all the things that are cash cows (merchandise and SD advertising) Could make finding a buyer very difficult indeed if he does try it, not that it's been easy so far obvs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 What a fucking fat cretin this cunt is. Abandon the club, give it fuck all as this is the only way to make him sit up and take note. Should be laws against leaches like him owning football clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
