Altamullan Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I would swap places with the Mackems right now. Quick, start searching now! You’ve lost perspective and possibly your rationality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Very wishful thinking but even by Ashley’s standards the money we’ve avoided spending this summer is extraordinary. Assuming he’s just not deliberately pissing everyone off, is there the hope of a takeover? Ashley is seemingly raking in as much cash as he can, hasn’t released these funds to Rafa and knows the fans are on the verge. He’ll not get his asking price but he can offset much of that by the current penny pinching and whatever pilfering is going on. It would also leave any new owners without the burden of taking on payments and contracts for any new signings in Ashley’s last days. I know I’m talking bollocks but it’s a nice thought on a sunny Saturday night before the shit storm starts next weekend when we start with Joselu up front....

Pons Alias Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Is it £140m TV money plus £40m sales we haven’t spent? Close to half his asking price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 But as per usual, if he was transparent instead of a lying cunt he could probably get away with that. Just saying he's had enough and wants his money back hence no transfer funds. Fine, take it and fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 We need to take our fight to him. Instead of attending away games we should just go down and protest outside his homes or SD, get this fucking cunt out. Even if he doesn’t listen it will cause him stress, this guy is an obese middle aged man, his body will only be able to handle so much punishment.

Robster Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I can't imagine he gets stressed at all to be honest. He cares not one jot about human life and has all the power and wealth that he could ever want so what's he to get stressed about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Mike Ashley is the archetypal football club owner Germany's 50+1 rule is designed to protect clubs from. Absolutely shameful how we don't have something in the UK protecting football clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Agreed, because the PL wouldn't dare piss off it's owners. they don't give a single fuck about the fans or the long-term impact of these clubs. It's all a business now, no longer a part of the community anymore. Shameful stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 On my phone so can't link it (too much effort) BUT story being peddled that Ashley still has the club for sale which is why there hasn't been a lack of player investment. Absolute bullshit being peddled, just a way for him to try and get the fans to back off with the protests. Anyone that falls for this is a weapons grade moron.

cp40 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Next away game nearest his house, after the match the 2-3000k fans need to go to his house- like in crocodile dundee2- no violence just a big crowd making a nuisance at his gates and walls. Mick Dundee can sneak in past the machine guns, and pinch the TV money back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 The club is swimming in money huge overall profit on transfers biggest TV deal in the history of football which allows small clubs that were scratching a living a couple of years ago to buy £25 million players and a billionaire owner and we are getting fed stories that the club is broke it's a joke and not a funny one.

Yep, including cash in the value of the club, knowing that cash has to be spent on the club anyway, kinda pointless. However, it’s a story for the fans hoping they’ll lap it up. Some will (2Ameobis for example). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Of course they will lap it up. The amount Ashley has lowered most fans expectations and standards are incredible. Championship/ league 1 level players who were getting called by fans to play more games like abeid, Aarons, vuckic, Armstrong, bigirimana etc was incredible. Not a premier league player amongst them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
