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


Recommended Posts

Why wait until the season has began? No talks or offers before this season started? Nah, still total nonsense, it all just conveniently came out before the transfer window. Again, I do not doubt the messengers nor their integrity but it's not happening. I had faith in Staveley, I didn't even entertain this Peter Cushing bid with no money or investors. We will be mathematically safe and all you'll get is more lies from Ashley about reinvesting all the money the club makes.

We shouldn't need a fucking overdraft when the cunt has spent fuck all, and reeled in transfer and TV money.

 

And sorry i'm not buying the bollocks about 'oh we went down twice' so that's why we have nothing to spend now, get to fuck with that shite.

 

Bimpy my man, it is a strange time to be having an Internet conversation  :)  but who said that? I may need an hour or two of kip before I get to read your reply....

 

Think he's on about the pundits that go on about Ashley personally financing the club, be it transfers or loans.

 

O0 I was indeed on about the pundits and so called experts.

Heard a rumour that the sale is still on, and will be completed once Premiership status is confirmed ...........comes from the same source who said the deal would be done earlier. I don't know the fella myself so don't know how much truth there is to it, but after what's gone on at the club recently, it does make a bit of sense.

 

Fingers crossed and all that.

 

Could see that tbh, would explain why we are still dealing in loans for players, both in and out. The only significant purchases have been relatively young players who could be counted as assets for any incoming buyer.

This ring fencing idea for Sky TV money etc. It needs to happen.

 

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions

 

WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?

 

Order that SkyTV monies provided to football clubs is ring fenced. -Only allowed 80 characters here

 

BACKGROUND

 

Currently there are no checks in place to prevent Sky TV money being used outside the normal bounds of a football club. This allows unscrupulous persons to remove money from football for alternative matters potentially involving corruption, tax avoidance and other unfair business practices.

 

-------------------------------

 

 

Just so you know

 

Later on, you'll need email addresses for 5 supporters to get your petition started

This isn't my forte so please step forward and fill the breach. You can have my e-mail as one of the 5 for starters...

 

Nothing ventured, nothing gained..

A good idea, but I think there should be a couple of amendments and wording.

 

First of all we should say income to professional clubs, and we would have limit it to a percentage, otheise there will never be anyone willing to buy a football club is they can’t get money out of it somewhere down the line.

It should be something 85% of the income a professional football club generates cannot be spent of anything other than the football club/day to day running of the football club.

Then about 10% should be specificically spent on the academy/grassroutes.

 

Of course people like Ashley already have deal in place at the football club where he gets money through contracts to Sports Direct which could be classified as part of the day to day running of the football club.

I get the thought behind it but Sky are handing over the money to the Premier League for the rights to televise matches. They aren't handing it over with the purpose of financing the clubs. All they're interested in is getting their SUPER SUNDAY™ and the viewing figures that comes with it.

 

Also what checks are in place for other forms of income being removed. You can't really just target Sky if it's just as easy to remove match day revenue etc.

Yes, we should be fighting to get Ashley out, not accepting him staying but trying to legislate him into behaving. :lol:

 

Aye, with a little bit of thought a little bit investment in the club and the city and some good PR we could have built a statue for this fella not a pyre

Sorry if there has been a misunderstanding. I never started this petition, I was just showing how it could be done. It was why I finished the post with This isn't my forte so please step forward and fill the breach.

 

Stif, I wasn't saying all of a clubs income, just the TV monies.

 

Anyway it was put out there for ideas and refinement so hopefully someone will run with it after its been thought out and discussed.

That'd get shot down in the courts pretty quickly I would think. You can't order a private business what to do with its revenue.

 

You can tell that business that if they don't stick by your rules then the Football team aren't playing in your competition. Not that it will ever happen, but no reason it couldn't be enforceable in theory.

I know, but I think it should be all of the clubs income otherwise you are just opening up one massive loophole to the clubs.
