Hes done it as the latter for a while, if he keeps doing it he'll lose lots of paying customers and gets loads of bad publicity (which has really just started on a national press scale), the national media having a go couod touch the nerve.

Spider Jerusalem Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 This summer is when we'll really see what his plans are for the club. My prediction is that we'll spend upwards of £20mil. The press will be telling everyone that Ashley's put his money where his mouth is, but the money spent will actually be less than what we receive for outgoing players. Personally I think he has left himself in a position where if he doesn't spend big and if there is no mass improvement, then the whole press circle including all the nationals will turn on him. This bloke has never ever came remotely to being even close to answering or even acknowledging anything which has been requested or asked of him and yet in the biggest shock of the year he suddenly appears in front of the cameras (and if anyone says the were not totally shocked when he came on their a liar). Long term (maybe even short term) only a good thing as he either matches what he said (and he said about winning things not finishing 10th so he can't use that old chestnut again) or if he doesn't and he then gets castrated by the world media which we all know he does not enjoy which may well force him to sell up. Well done Fat Mike you have opened up to be shot at now you have emerged from your little rabbit hole and will now be caught in the headlights. £20 million will be laughed at and will lead to relegation next year - you may well be right but lets enjoy him squirm in the spotlight. He was 90 minutes today from losing approx. 60 million in one fell swoop (100 million - parachute payments). Well done to the protestors and AshleyOut.com as you certainly have made a hell of a difference to the extent the fat cunt has had to come out in front of the whole footballing world. I'm more inclined to believe that the national press will have already forgotten what he said and the locals will not dare to rock the boat whether he fails to replace Carver or sells the squad and replaced them with eleven farts trapped in a jar. The only reason we were 'big news' today was so they could peddle the deluded Geordie shite if we went down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Are fans really gonna believe Fat Cashleys latest bullshit? An obvious sign of 'oh shit, we might get relegated and the fans are finally not turning up' by making the interview, and still absolutely no chance we will aim for Europe or a cup. Good luck to any mug that buys a season ticket on the back of that interview after years of lies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press will be telling everyone that Ashley's put his money where his mouth is, but the money spent will actually be less than what we receive for outgoing players. I'm not sure the press will fall for the same trick twice. We were told how Ashley 'splashed the cash' last summer to the tune of £29m except: 1) we didn't spend anywhere near that 2) that we ran another transfer surplus was not reported 3) the majority of the players we bought were s**** £20m on that squad will see us in 17th or down. We need two strikers at £20m each, before we even consider the gaping holes in the rest of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like it's completely pointless you even posting about the subject tbh. Ashley could get £250-300m for the club today, tomorrow or any time in the future. It's that simple. He doesn't want to sell, it's been a beneficial venture for him. He will never change his approach to the running of the club in the way you're suggesting. It will always be run at the bare minimum cost. We might see more money spent this summer because he's let the club slide into this state. That's all it is though. It's necessary because we might get relegated otherwise. If you think there'll be a change in his outlook this summer and beyond, whatever your reasons, then you're a complete and utter muppet.
