Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

The name is outstanding.  I can see us being called Monochrome United for a while by the mackems though.

I couldn’t give a fuck what they call us now, I’ll not give a fuck about what they call us when we have reason to be hopeful.

I’m fairly convinced that all of the groups previously interested in Newcastle were genuine or genuinely looked into the possibility of a purchase, it’s too far fetched to say these people were somehow engineered by Mike to self sabotage.

 

On the flip side I strongly suspect that Ashley and his associates have leaked stuff in the past about interest in the club and any potential takeovers for his own benefit, main reason being to avoid having to spend money in the short term and create uncertainty at the club.  Also to plant the seed with supporters that he was a keen seller when in reality he wasn’t.  It doesn’t mean those groups weren’t real but Ashley is an opportunist who will exploit a situation  whenever he can. 

 

Hopefully this time complete silence from the club means he is a committed seller and this will be different.

Imagine he turns out to be worse than Ashley.  :lol:

 

He'd have to actively actively try to destroy is to be worse. At times it's been hard to think that hasn't been Ashley's aim (I'm sure it wasn't) such were the levels of incompetence he's demonstrated whilst running us.

 

Being worse would require actual malice. I'm happy to roll the dice on this one.

I thought it was happening before today with the two statements released and the absolute silence from Ashley, the club and the Premier League. Today with the formation of the new company I am without doubt that this is happening and very soon. It also should be noted that Ashley has done some official 'tidying up' work within the last 24 hours, which surely is no coincidence. Less certain but maybe worth keeping in mind is the alleged removal of the Sports Direct signs for alleged cleaning. Timing is key and everything is telling me anyway that it's full steam ahead now.

 

Edit: think you're right about the other groups but they were based on getting the necessary investment together which they were unable to do so. However I think this group more than has the right funds in place to make it happen.

None of the Sports Direct signs have been taken down.....

Reckon PL has given the green light and the holding company is being set up to facilitate payment and the transfer of shareholing from MASH to this BZG company. BZG pays money into the holding company which is then wired to MASH.

I thought there was photos of some being removed, maybe wrong on that?

Money will surely go through lawyers first, then assets gets transferred over to Mono.

Was wrong, videos and photos since have shown them to still be up.
