Skeletor Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Simultaneously got no money but raking in that profit in the books. Walking in an Ashley wonderland. Surprised he hasn't tried to become dictator of a country yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Really need to hunt Ashley out now! It's the same story every transfer window. Promises in the beginning and lame excuses in the end. We must organise big protests at every home game from now on. Let him know exactly what we feel. Even if we win some games the protests must go on till he's gone. Stay inside the ground for an hour or two after every game and protest strongly but peaceful. Get the press to write about it and get on our side. As long as I love to have Rafa in charge I don't see the point of him being here as long as Ashley is the owner. If it means Rafa has to walk away for the fans to wake up and protest against Ashley I think it's worth it. Sad but true! Something must be done. WE MUST GET ASHLEY OUT NOW!!!

Odear Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yup. Difference between Rafa and the shower of simpletons we've had over the years is that he doesn't need the job or money.. he could have taken this club anywhere if the owner had shared even a bit of his vision. But no. He's gambling again. Thinks what we have is just about good enough to stay up. That win at the weekend was a curse really.. it was all Mike needed to justify not spending a bean. It's true.. Rafa could keep us up.. but what's the point from his perspective? He's better than that.. he's not a manager like Pardew or whoever that would be happy to tread water indefinitely. Mike you lying sack of shit. Fool us once shame on you.. fool us how many times at this point? Shame on us too. I hope Rafa walks. He deserves better. We deserve a better club. What did we do to deserve Mike Ashley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndegwa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Absolute classic Ashley this. The people I feel sorry for are those that are surprised. You know what...personally I'd convinced myself in July that this time everything would be different. I don't know why, but everything was rosy after being promoted and the club was making the right noises. Supporting this football club is extremely difficult at the best of times.

TheGuv Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The majority must have a breaking point. f*** knows what it would take. I thought breaking point was Keegan leaving I thought breaking point was hiring Kinnear. I thought breaking point was hiring Shearer in attempt to keep us up and then never calling him back. I thought breaking point was pretending to sell us to potential buyers via email. I thought breaking point was fluking the Championship with a caretaker manager and then sacking him, along with the players that made it work. I thought breaking point was the Sports Direct Arena. I thought breaking point was hiring a League 1 manager called Alan Pardew Etc, etc, etc. When will we as fans learn? If the answer is never...then we deserve all we get.

Happinesstan Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Just thinking about somebody asking for a refund on their ST and wondered what the situation would be if every fan demanded a refund. Obviously The Fat One would refuse, but if legal action was taken, with everybody represented as one, would it stand much chance in court? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Has Ashley actually ever invested in the club? - Buying the club is not an investment as he should get his money back - He has made loans to the club but wants that money back. Plus he is being paid in kind by the free advertising his shop receives. - Land that was previously owned by the club is being developed by him as a private venture. - The club has lost millions in two entirely avoidable relegations because of the decisions he has made. - He has lost the club millions in commercial revenue and exactly where does the revenue from merchandise goes. - Gate receipts have fallen - not for altruistic reasons - but to address falling attendance and to manipulate a positive image I am not one who thinks he should put his own money in but I hold him entirely accountable for the current financial situation. He has never invested in the club in the way it is portrayed in the media but he has consistently damaged the financial health of the club and continues to do so.

Sir Toon Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's obvious the plan for the Summer window was to nark Rafa off enough for him to walk and then do the boom bust cycle with another puppet in charge just willing to tow the party line. It's in our best interests for Rafa to stay and play politic bingo now. The longer he's here, the more erratic the Ashley gang will become. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Just thinking about somebody asking for a refund on their ST and wondered what the situation would be if every fan demanded a refund. Obviously The Fat One would refuse, but if legal action was taken, with everybody represented as one, would it stand much chance in court? I guess anyone defrauded by buying a ticket to watch "70M" of new signings would need Rafa and his people to testify against the club. So you might get your money back, but Rafa would be a dead man walking and the club would hire another Pardew yes man. fwiw, I think this is much worse than what happened to KK because we have a specific budget Rafa was told he had and many specific examples of cheap players he could have spent it on. Unlike KK, Rafa is supposed to have control over transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Is it the Bundesliga were there is a "plus 1 rule", or something similar? Meaning fans hold a 51% or majority share of a club, to stop fat cunt owners like Ashley not investing and backing the club with football related income. Whatever it is, the PL and EFL need it introduced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I've been trying to mobilise some co-workers because their terms and conditions are changing for the worse without our consent, and it's almost an impossible task. The apathy of folks and lack of appetite to try to force change is incredulous. The same has happened and will continue to happen with Ashley, unless there is a seismic change in that attitude to just go along with things, then we are stuck with him until he gets the money he wants for it to be beneficial to walk away.
