loki679 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 'ultimately' needs a capital letter in the last paragraph but that is a very good article. Hopefully the press will start picking up on some of this and they (the Ashleyout.com guys) can start to galvanise our morose fanbase into finally taking some action even if it's just not buying from his tat emporium anymore.

mickthemagpie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 If business is all about making money and making a profit then Ashley is doing 'nothing wrong', but it isn't just about the money or it shouldn't be. SD is a mammoth success because there is zero competition. If someone out there could offer the same kind of sports gear at similar prices, but packaged better if you like on a mass scale, SD would be just another retailer. They are to me a bully boy. They are a bully with suppliers, a bully to customers and a bully to their own staff and investors alike. They even bully brands. Bullies always get their arse handed to them some day though and I hope the Rangers stuff, AO and the media 'intrusion' into how SD operates is just the start of that arse kicking. To me a business is about providing a great service at a reasonable price, looking after customers and employees and building something people value and want to either buy or invest in not just for the now, but long-term. I run a few small humble businesses that are doing alright based on those kind of principles. I know several business people who have ran small but successful firms only to crash and burn because it become all about the money and to hell with everything else. Its easy to go into business, but very hard to stay in business. Ashley is a spoiled man child if you like, used to getting his own way. He aligns himself to weak people, people he can control and do his bidding for him. People who wouldn't challenge him. Every person at NUFC appointed to a major role don't have the CV or skills to be in such positions, from Charnley to McClaren. Ashley doesn't care about traditions, customs or history. He doesn't have the time for real people and their real problems. You do what you're told and you do it without complaint. I am your boss, I am paying you x amount. You're no different to a line of stock hanging in a warehouse to him. He is a poor businessman. Successful yes, wealthy yes, but he's a poor businessman. The sign of a good businessman is someone able to apply themselves to anything and make a success of it, or at least try to. Newcastle is a huge failure under his ownership and that's how I know he is a poor businessman because real businessmen do not like failing and do not like to see something they are involved in fail. Me, if I bought a football club, I'd do my best to make sure it does its best. Ashley hasn't once done that. He will not let go of it though, not cheaply. He would want at least half a billion and even then it will no doubt come with certain conditions. The only way to get rid is a total boycott and that will never happen. For as long as Ashley lives, expect relegation, relegation fights, mid-table, the selling of top players, zero legends, zero hope. Basically the very worst of NUFC's history on repeat, ad infinitum, on constant loop. f*** that s***! If supporting NUFC is an act of marriage, you sir need to get a f***ing divorce because this bitch is screwing you for every penny, literally, metaphorically, the whole f***ing shebang. Been arguing this for years, he's no Branson or Bannantyne that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Might argue he should make better choices of staff but happier we have Ashley than Lerner/Short at this point. 70 million in 2 windows is either trying to protect investment or trying to build. Not sure he's the issue this time round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Aye - apparently. Some folk on TF FB group are saying that politics should be kept out of football. But, football and politics do go together and when the owner buys Newcastle United to promote his tacky business. he can't then by immune from criticism for the way he runs both. Newcastle United's name has been sullied for the last 8 years, since he bought the club. He's treat supporters and the city with contempt and yet, some happy clappers applaud him for doing so. Shameful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye suppose mate forget about all that money he saved from the other three seasons of not spending. And the Carrol and Cabaye cash. Oh and forget selling the naming rights for free. Forget Pardew and Steve the budget s*** managers. Oh forget he ripped the soul out of Newcastle and made me hate my local team and most of the thick supporters like you who have stupidly short memory's. But nar he has spent some of the millions from tv money and player sales so f*** it and forget all that could be worse. You are nearly everything is wrong with our supporters.

I never said he had not done wrong before. I said at least we are spending now. It's bang wrong what he has done before. I'm everything that's wrong? I have supported this club for 32 fucking years and had a season ticket for 25, been to Rotherham and Leverkusen. I whinge my tits off at how bad it is and curse my dad for introducing me to this shit but I fucking love games like today. I stopped going last season because of the cunt and the last 7 years have been atrocious but I also see money being spent now which may only scratch the surface of last 7 year but at least there has been adjustments and not continuing with same stance. It may be he has dropped his arse over relegation threats but I just hope its changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
