Sima Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 If we have 24 points by January he'll think we're almost there and not put another penny in. How much is every place worth in prize money this season? We know he's a cunt but he's also a gambler and he might think if he releases £30m for a striker/10 then the boost may mean he's paid for himself with the higher league position? Bit like he did with Cisse? Not saying I expect him to do so but it could be an option. Just thinking out loud really. He signed Cisse to cement a Champions League place. Read on here that he was furious that it didn't come to fruition at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 God, Pardew was mortified enough with having to play in the Europa League, can you imagine how awful it would have been for him if he had to play in a competition like the Champions League, where he'd have actually had to field a decent team and try to win some of the games?

Altamullan Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 5% off the price ticket. Surely anyone with any sense would wait until the %25+ period in the (post) January sales? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 He'll hoy a big 'CLOSING DOWN SALE, EVERYTHING MUST GO' banner on it and leave it there for four years. £20m isn't much really but at least it's a sign he might be getting serious about pissing off. I wonder if this is due to some feedback on the price from some interest in the summer. If someone's come in with an interest and told him he's a greedy fat cunt and they're not paying £400m it might have given him pause for thought.

wormy Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Only £30m more eexpensive than buying Neymar and Mbappe Well when you put it like that.. no, still a rip off. Half of Everton went for £200m last year; maybe the £400m in itself isn't that bad an asking price. But surely any potential buyer would run as soon as they see the loan he'd instantly want paid back on top of it. And I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to add bullshit sponsorship and merchandise clauses that benefit no one but Sports Direct as a parting shot. Insufferable cunt.

Zero Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Exactly. 380m sounds fair but 380m plus all the debts are simply ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianovthetoon Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 380m will include the debt surely? He essentially owes himself the money now? The 20m knockdown is probably the 20m he's promised the players if we win the FA Cup. He did say he'd only sell when we won something! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Looking at the potential of the club and with a world class manager here already in Rafa, surely we'd be a good choice, no?

ExiledGeordie Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Presumably he'll sell once he decides he's not making money from it/not worth the hassle and then gets an offer close to what he wants? He's been here 10 years, he must be doing quite well out of us otherwise surely he'd have made greater efforts to sell a long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 £350m with debt wiped is a fair price. He'll still make a lot of money and its all his rather than tied up in shares etc...Nice return on a 10 year gamble where he bluffed most of it and could have ended up like Sunderland are now.

wormy Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Is it assumed in most circles that the £400m/£380m includes the debt? Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, I just don't see it with Ashley. Particularly as he likes to make it plainly obvious how he got 'stung' by debt when he bought the club I bet the vindictive wank would love to do the same to someone else.
