Raconteur Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 By the Wolves game we’ll have Rondon signed, Rafa in charge, new owners and a £30m plus player in the squad. Living up to your username, I see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The problem with the theory that Ashley's sticking around (and I haven't planted my flag anywhere yet) is that making the 10m pa over Rafa's tenure is wholly and solely down to Rafa being a genius, both in the transfer market and keeping our assorted barely-PL standard players in the league. I accept that Ashley is likely arrogant enough to think that he is in fact the genius making it possible, and that any old hack can be a manager. He's oblivious to the ripple effect Rafa leaving will have on the staff and the players. There is no manager in the world who would take the job who could keep the current squad up under Ashley - or even with Ashley approved additions (which do not include Rondon). Holding our squad together was little short of a miracle at times, and the daft fuckers who want rid might just find out soon enough - if Ashley really is holding on.

It's the global exposure Sports Direct gets off the back of us, that's the kicker. Why you wouldn't want to do both is baffling, but I guess the club doesn't generate the same money as the exposure for his tat empire does, maybe ?

To be honest you wouldn't even need to build an exciting team. He could significantly increase our commercial revenue within the existing model of just staying in the Premier League - corporate hospitality, overseas promotion, advertising deals, sponsorship of the training ground and kit, pre-season tours, feeder clubs etc. It wouldn't even have to reduce the level of advertising he current does for his tat emporiums. It's hardly ground breaking stuff. It would just take someone a bit more sophisticated than Market Mike to make it happen. Looking at the company he keeps though, i doubt he knows anyone like that and we know he doesn't like to hire outside his circle of goons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I get that mate, as I said it makes no sense why you wouldn't want to do both. As I also said maybe he makes far more money from just owning us than he would from investing in us. So do the minimum with us cost wise, to make more for his other business. As you said more exposure would bring in more money surely, he is a baffling bizarre arsehole.

Consortium of one Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 If there’s another group perhaps she’s part of a consortium and when he mentioned on Twitter that if he shared his info then it probably wouldn’t happen. Maybe he means that if Mike knew Staveley was involved he’s start messing her about or something like that. Personally I don’t believe there’s any other serious buyers. BZG is as close as it’s ever been and it will happen. It’s a matter of when. No other consortii (?) have approached me to make a new consortium if that is any help. And for the record, I am serious but...uh...skint as you say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
