louistoon Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Nothing, apart from I doubt Ashley would have made a promise like this without taking out some kind of insurance to ensure he actually didn't lose 20 million if we won the fa cup.

louistoon Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Mike Ashley isn't allowed to bet on any football as per FA rules. Maybe he asked Jiminez to put the bet on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Mike Ashley isn't allowed to bet on any football as per FA rules. Maybe he asked Jiminez to put the bet on. Considering he's suing him I find that doubtful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took out insurance by making sure the team can't get anywhere near an FA Cup Final. I don't think there's anything more to it than that and certainly not through betting.

Interpolic Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It's quite incredible the cast iron certainty some people speak with when discussing what's going on at the most chaotic club in the country with the most unpredictable and secretive owner around. Who was that knacker doing it over the summer and changing his mind every few days? "The reason we aren't spending money is because of this Chinese takeover. You lot probably don't know as much as me about mergers and acquisitions but this is definitely what is happening behind the scenes as we speak". Fucking plank.

54 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Lacselles got put in Crooks team of the week, and instead of talking about Lascelles performance, he put this: "It was Jamaal Lascelles' block on the line that set up both the 1-0 victory for Newcastle at Swansea on Sunday and the tone for the entire team's performance. If ever you wanted to give your manager a lift on his sick bed (Rafa Benitez was absent through illness) then a classic away win is certainly the way to do it. Lascelles' contribution to the victory was a bit special. But does owner Mike Ashley really expect a young side, giving everything at the moment, to survive the season in the Premier League with the resources he has given them? If he does then he is living in cloud cuckoo land. Ashley needs to get his hand in his pocket and invest properly in a team the city of Newcastle deserve. They have a great manager, an amazing set of fans and a team clearly proud to wear the shirt. Benitez has brought some wonderful young talent through and made players out of them. Players like Matt Richie and Lascelles have developed brilliantly under the watchful eye of the Spaniard and they deserve more support and their manager the finances to enable him to give the team a real chance of survival. It's the least Ashley can do. If not, he should sell the club and let someone else do it." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41221169 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
