Heake Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Caulkin is the only journalist who can come out of this with his head held high. He`s the best around in my opinion, I love his writing & he seems a really decent guy but if he`s holding back, I would really like to know why.

YankeeToon Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Old advertising boards being replaced by more up to date LED signage. Lots of seats being replaced and the stadium getting a good clean up. Costing Ashley a few quid but well overdue. Costing Ashley nothing It's not being done for free. Implication being that the new owners are footing the cost.

Implication being that the new owners are footing the cost. only question is why? what would be the point of them doing it in such a hurry? sure there's some easy PR but they could do that over the summer its not as if the new season is next week or next month Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Its quite plausible to imagine that the E-signs that (If that should be) are being installed will be paid for by an agency & leased to NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Maybe we chose to spend a few thousand pounds of our almost £200m revenue on making the place look slightly less of a tip? For most clubs it is just a petty cost, you can tell we're conditioned to this joy-killing skinflint the way people carry on about costs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought that was obvious from Ashley's history where fans complained about the public toilets being manky for ages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 If they are changing them to electronic boards it would be something that has been planned and budgeted well in advance. Why would they put a stop to it just because someone is potentially buying the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're leasing the space to an agency, it will be an extra source of revenue regardless of who owns the club. Ashleys only cost would be to remove the existing signs to prepare for electronic ones. Of course, its also possible that Ashley has paid for them & contracted NUFC for their use over a elongated period for buttons (Thus securing exposure for SD whenever he wants whilst simultaneously robbing the club of a valuable source of revenue - See Rangers). Alternatively, he might be fucking off for good & taking his shit with him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
