Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

I’ve been pretty sceptical/skeptical since the start, but I’d have to be bonkers to think this is all part of some evil Mike Ashley ruse, plotted away by himself, thumb heed and that PR cunt, in cahoots with the media and willing stooges in the UAE. However, in the knowledge that Fat Mike is a fucking giant arsehole who is likely to pull the plug for any number of childish reasons, I’m still thinking there’s a pretty large chance nowt will happen.

@ County Durham Mag

Nice and funny dig at some posters who just yesterday still adamant that the whole thing is a set up by Ashley and co.

 

? In English please

You are so insane he thinks you are being sarcastic.  :lol:

I genuinely do feel he actually does want to sell and this time he is getting what he wants cash wise. He's going to make a tidy profit out of it also.

What we reckoning tomorrow brings then

Good news seems to be followed by days of silence

 

The forecast is more days of Ashley stringing everyone along whilst Rafas contract and the transfer window are a week closer to ending

 

Are you Gallowgate End's evil twin?

 

I have it 75/25 likely to happen at the minute :thup:

 

Looking more likely to happen.

Nesreen Osman and her team in both UAE and the UK office are the lawyers looking out for BZG’s interests. No idea about Ashley’s side.

 

Conflict of interest in having the same firm is correct. BZG have used Pinsent on major construction work before so they have history.

 

My source at Pinsents tells me her team have already been in discussions with Benítez but at an early stage. All very relaxed as this is a totally new contract with a new employer but he’s probably having to sell his vision all over again so it will take time.

Thread makes a comeback.

 

Conflict resolution is her thing and guiding clients through negotiations etc. I’d never heard of her before today but she seems to be involved in commercial developments so hopefully there’s a bigger picture going on.

Deals done as far as I’m concerned. Just a matter of when it’s officially announced.

 

Rafa staying is now my concern.

 

I'm sure you said the same about Staveleasy.

 

Think he's right this time though

She can resolve my conflicts anytime.

I've always felt that him being a willing seller was utter BS though (stated purely to ease tensions with the fans)... even if he scooped 350M from the sale, that's nothing compared to the meagre funds he outlays on the club vs all the TV money, free SD advertising, player sales etc. over the long-term.

We've never been anything more than a SD advertising vehicle and a steady stream of proven income in his eyes.

 

I'm definitely not banking on anything until it's official like.

And in one post destroys the credibility of most NUFC reporting journalists :lol:

 

It's done.

 

Doesn't Greg know things or am I confusing him with someone else? Golfmag?

Golfmag had connections to pardew iirc

 

Didn't he throw his toys out of the pram and leave the forum because all the nasty things said about Pardew?

 

He definitely had some inside goss - think he was golfing buddies with his agent - but it was always slanted in Pardews favour.

He got a lot of stick for his views on Pardew, a lot from myself as well.

 

I think he still posts every now and again.
