Golfmag Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Golfmag has never been away but I did pay a heavy and irrational price for simply feeding through Pardew-related info that I was part to ?? In the early days the forum was much less polarised and debate was much easier. IMO Although my judgement is clearly very flawed as the two times that I met Mike Ashley, he came across as a perfectly nice bloke. Ha bloody ha. Once was just before we lost to Scunthorpe and he was hilariously asked to leave the (really shitty) boardroom for not having a tie on and the second time was after we beat Chelsea at home, the day that Mourino blamed our ball boys.

Klaus Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 If you had asked me at the time between the two, I would have rather we were bought by a British billionaire than by the Saudis Now I would convert if they bought us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Either options requires being operated by the morally bankrupt, just in one of them we're one of the best clubs in the world and in the other we're us currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 You can't just buy big titles these days anyway. No matter how much money we got, we'd have to comply to FFP (in the beginning, at least) as well as compete with the likes of Man City, Chelsea, PSG, Man United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus for every single player we would want to sign. It would take a hell of a job for any manager and MD to get us to win the PL or CL even with the budget of a Man City these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Not sure what your point is...I would like us to give it a go regardless how hard it is Aye of course Just saying that it's not the same as when Chelsea first did it, point is I wouldn't have any moral issues with us being the new big spenders like I might have in the past. Aa for FFP, it's basically a system to keep the 'top sides' at the top and not allow anyone new to join the elite. Once one has joined that merry band, no one give two shites about FFP.
