Matt Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 What was the situation then with Watford with their owners owning multiple clubs across Europe? Also didn't Charlton's owner used to own Standard Liege as well. Only covers UK clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 What was the situation then with Watford with their owners owning multiple clubs across Europe? Also didn't Charlton's owner used to own Standard Liege as well. Only covers UK clubs. Surprised it's any different. Same country I could understand but I don't see any difference if we're from different FAs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The article even says that the football league allow individuals to hold up to 10% of another club (providing it's investment only and not controlling) and Ashley has just over 8%. As Ashley has had his men kicked off the board then there is no reason to suggest that he has any control of Rangers. The article is purely written to sell to Rangers fans who want him gone.

joeyt Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Says literally nothing.

LV Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The message I'm getting from that is that he thinks we'll easily come back up straight away because we did it last time. That concerns me because he may think that any old Tom, Dick or Lawrie will be able to get us promoted rather than having to pay a bit more for Rafa to do it. On the other hand though, he does mention Rafa quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Wow, just imagine, the very top flight! The Premier League lads, picture it! Also this Many of you have expressed strong views about what we could have done differently. I respect those views but I would like to reiterate that it has always been my intention to try to achieve the very best for Newcastle United. Sets out one question and answers another.

At this time it's better than releasing a statement saying "AH FUCK, WE MIGHT NOT COME STRAIGHT BACK UP ARGGHHH". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
