Minhosa Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I’d say if you looked into the accounts deeply. Club through Sports shop etc or warehousing. If you really investigated the money trail. You’d find that the club have been indirectly propping up house of Fraser or some other bullshit. They can show Rafa a spreadsheet and say here’s your lot. But you can be guaranteed it’s not the real picture. Why the club don’t just pay on deferred structures like other clubs is daft. Especially in our situation. Ashley likes it whatever way it’s set up and he doesn’t want anyone wrecking his perfect little advertising machine. I'd say almost certainly not the case that he'd be using club revenue to fund anything other than the running of the club. Yes, he's clearly using the brand power/affiliation for the wider benefit of his business portfolio and likely the sponsorship deals are on incredibly favourable terms but that's about as far as it would I'd think. Not least because it's in his interests to have the club ran at a profit if he's even vaguely interested in selling it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 If Ashley started paying the going rate for his SD tat around the ground, this summer would be the first sign of us actually maximising our income. Season ticket pricing increases for the first time in years, tapping into the Far East market...just the sponsorship side left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 The not upgrading the training ground facilities is one of the most annoying things. He won't pay the going rate for players. Therefore the youth set up and 'grow your own' becomes even more important yet he won't let the club pay for it out of it's own money. Logic never seems to apply to Mike Ashley's NUFC thinking. Yep, every year he's here we fall further behind, meaning more time and money would be needed just to bring the club facilities up to date, let alone create something groundbreaking or market-leading. But we're still worth £400 million or whatever according to some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Ashley is as happy as a pig in shit, he owns a Premier league football club that costs him nothing to run, not even his time. I think he bases his model on what Joe Lewis does at Spurs but instead of employing a team of professionals to run everything in the club from catering to commercial income Ashley gives one bloke £150k a year to do the lot ..............badly, my biggest reason to hate Ashley is the fact he has made us cheap and chatty with Sports Direct stickers papering over the cracks.

The founder and chief executive of Sports Direct and owner of Newcastle United Football Club, has won the rights to make shirts with the official Three Lions logo, emblazoned with the words "2018 Winners" underneath it. "The only limit on how many we can give away will be how fast we can get them printed," said a spokesman for Sports Direct. Form an orderly queue folks.
