We would be in the exact same place If we had more commercial revenue coming in instead of Ashley using us as to advertise his own business for free, we'd be in the same place in the rich list?

Cookie1892 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 As much as i hate to say it and have to laugh at his shady business practices and scarpering with stock, you have to have some brains and balls to pull it off on such a scale with actually no laws broken* Like he did with Adidas a few year back and then also tesco lately, he plays the game and wins. *circumvented... and such Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the real world where Ashley wouldnt spend the extra money so the club would be exactly where we are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 He's f***ing wealthy as f*** man. He's got money and investments all over. f*** sake Ha!

Aye I know was aimed at the previous folk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the real world where Ashley wouldnt spend the extra money so the club would be exactly where we are now. No argument from me there. We could be top of the list and nothing would change from that side of things. However, every position we climb up that league makes us more attractive to potential buyers, especially when you consider that our commercial revenue opportunities are nowhere near being maximised. From that perspective it isn't useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that perspective it isn't useless. What you're saying is probably 100% correct. My big worries for the future are a) what kind of prospective owner will be attracted by the fact the club is extremely profitable? My guess is one who wants to take as much out of the club as he can. b) it'll just mean Ashley gets to put a higher price on the club as it's proven to be a very profitable asset, albeit one which will have reached it's potential (as a profit-generator) so no nearer a new buyer unless one with ridiculously deep pockets can be found and c)as long as it's raking cash in he's not going to want to sell, so no nearer a potential new owner. In honesty, despite my pessimism, I struggle to constructively think of a hypothetical situation aside from an unfortunate contamination in the Greggs factory, which does bring us nearer to new ownership. We've tried being poor and that certainly didn't work!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's incredibly frustrating. The guy has a stranglehold on the club, can do whatever the f*** he likes, surround himself with yes men and there is not a thing anyone can do about it. With all this money pouring in from broadcasters he's never gonna sell up. Sickening really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually any buyers would be more interested in the accounts first and foremost, especially ones showing huge profits they could make, they certainly wouldnt look at a list as a guide to buying anyone.
