Ryan_Taylor Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Think we could seem him try and sell up in the summer if he manages to worm his way in there like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

He said: "I want a team that will go all out to try to give Chelsea a walloping, that will try to stuff Tottenham and that will be brave and bold enough to attack Manchester United."" I'm sure it came out that he never actually said these things but could be wrong. I remember reading the quotes at the time and thinking 'this is it' Ashley never gives interviews and Im pretty sure the paper made this guff up. Its everything NUFC fans wanted to hear, where in reality we constantly get told the opposite, cant compete , 5 year plans, no money... "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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 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.

Dan Gleebals Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 You have to admire his balls tbh, he really doesn't give a fuck does he Hard not to agree, if only he would show some balls and give it a real shot with us. I completely get the financial stability bit, I am even happy for him to get his loan back - I get all that, I just wish he would do it in a transparent way (not hiding profits etc), without his tat advertising all over the place and show some ambition.

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.
