Various: Mike Ashley in talks with Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan


Recommended Posts

 

Special podcast on the Ashley era. They said they would do it at Christmas. Good timing.

 

It's good.

Listened to that this morning. Funny and depressing in equal measure.

 

They missed loads out too. They could've turned it into a three or four parter.

3 loan signings in January window- all outgoings covered! Can't believe I ever doubted this guy. We're doing so well to compete considering we're a tiny little broke club with a huge fanbase, stadium, history, and tradition!

He wouldn't be putting any more of his money in. It's the club's money - money that is guaranteed to come in during the summer (PL competing fee) - that he is refusing to spend.

I worded it badly. Is it because he wants to top up whatever bid near to £300-350m that comes in with the club's money left over from this season that he hasn't allowed to spend on transfers and then sell and run?

My guess is that he's prettying the books by not heavily investing in either transfers nor wages.

 

I'd say we've near enough broken even over that window, certainly in terms of wages.

 

All reinforces the fact that he's very much on the market with it. That said, should we go down, he'll have risked everything for the sake of a few million quid.
