magpie1892 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 All he wants is the TV and prize money and, as pointed out above, the free advertising (worth £25m a year and rising) which is 20% interest in lieu of interest on the supposedly 'interest free 'loan' he somehow owes himself, and which he has paid down not one penny. 17th is the goal, that's it. We're not a football club any more. That's exactly like us with Lerner for the last five years. So long as we could cling on in the top flight, that was enough for him. 17th is a success for him. Other than the fact that Ashley is also, as a person, a massive, massive c*** (which I don't think Lerner is), their reasons for being involved in the game are the same. All that CGAF / slopey shoulders / just don't get relegated attitude drips down from the top and permeates both clubs like a leaking f***ing toilet. And that is precisely why the rest of the league, let alone fans of teams in other leagues, want the likes of us and you (and Sunderland, for that matter) to get relegated, because as much as it is always funny to see big names suffer, both clubs have contributed absolutely f***ing ZERO to the league for years. Check this out, for example. This is our CEO speaking, yesterday, a day in which we've completed our 19th game without a win. How can you even begin to deal with people with this attitude? What concerns me is that SD is not performing well in many areas (and becoming a very toxic brand - it's hardly scientific but I walked past my nearest SD many times in the lead up to Christmas and it was visibly quieter than every other shop in the centre) and NUFC is increasingly becoming his cashpoint. We will stay up by the skin of our teeth as Ashley literally cannot afford to lose the £180m, the vast majority will be siphoned off, as it has been every year since he arrived, to his other businesses. He'll NEVER let us go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Fat man gambled again, hoping the promoted sides would be the 3 to go down. Bare minimum investment has bitten him on his fat arse. Don't agree actually. I think he felt the team under performed significantly under Carver (of course - he's not even a manager) and by adding **quality** but good value young players from abroad we would be comfortably okay. He changed strategy slightly by going for fewer but higher ticket players hoping to get the quality in needed. But it hasn't worked like that. We need the right types of players to come in and affect the first team. Might be 27 year olds with low resale value Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
