cookidge Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It's perfectly reasonable to be positive. I'm of the mindset that if it doesn't pan out then at least I had felt some real hope for the first time in a long time. It's also perfectly reasonable not to be, after all, how many times have we been let down? It's easier to expect the worst. What isn't reasonable, is to perpetually pour cold water on someone else's positivity when they've already outlined their scepticism.

Anderson Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It's got the bishop pr machine all over this one again I think I hate him more than Ashley. Feel the urge to send him some more abuse now actually He's literally some two bit Pr man, people act like he's Rupert Murdoch Mental some people think Bishop has managed to persuade an actual Sheikh to go as far as incorporating a UK company for the purposes of providing Ashley a smokescreen ffs.

Vinny Green Balls Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I just don't see why Ashley would continue to do what he did before and just not bother. That's been his go to strategy in the past. If he's stringing interested interested parties along without much real intention to sell, then that's an altogether different story. His past record suggests that he is arrogant and stupid enough to continually play the same game of chicken to squeeze out an extra few million until he is left with an albatross around his neck (plummeting to the lower leagues and losing all interested buyers). That is wildly different than some elaborate PR scheme using Arab stooges. Seems like a lot of effort expended when it would be easier and just as effective to just not bother.

Wallsendmag Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I still don't believe Ashley has any intention of selling. He's in control of one the biggest, most profitable clubs, in the most lucrative league in the world, where he can trouser ridiculous amounts of money and at the same time can showcase his other businesses to a worldwide audience of Billions. Anyone thinking he's giving that up is totally deluded. It simply works perfectly for him. He basically has to do nothing to make a fortune. Allegedly the club has now been up for sale for in excess of 10 years. That's right, one of the truly huge clubs of English football has been up for sale for over a Decade and has failed to attract a buyer. I'm sorry like but I'm not having that. I reckon that in all that time well over half of pro clubs in England have had a change of ownership yet one of the most lucrative of them all can't find a buyer? Really? I'm not doubting there might be genuine interest from this latest group but they'll be finding out, as others have, that Ashley has no genuine intention of parting with the goose that continues to lay golden eggs for him. Obviously if someone were to hoy silly money at him, say £500m+ that's a different scenario all together, but let's face it, that's not happening.

Agree. Then he gambles on coming straight back up. It's not what you want to say as a supporter but 3+ years of Championship football is ultimately what this club needs in its present form.

54 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It's got the bishop pr machine all over this one again I think I hate him more than Ashley. Feel the urge to send him some more abuse now actually Dumb question, what do you get out of peddling this light of thinking, and trying to put people down like this? I get wanting to have a debate about how you think it might not happen, in a civil and decent way, but you're going around telling people they're crazy for believing in the takeover, that they're living in cloud Coocoo land. What do you get out of it? As it seems like you're just taking joy in ruining the little hope people have that the club might progress, might have a bit of ambition and if that's the case, it makes you a right tosser tbh.

If Ashley plays to form I'll be right this time as well. Never hoped to be proven wrong more in my life but after 12 years of Ashley I've got a good idea of how he operates and getting shot of one of his few well performing businesses would surprise me.

Obviously if someone were to hoy silly money at him, say £500m+ that's a different scenario all together, but let's face it, that's not happening. No doubt Ashley would love to hold on to NUFC for a lot longer but unfortunately for him he has painted himself into a corner whereby he simply has to sell this summer. The reasons for this are two-fold....firstly he is haemorraging cash from his other business interests and secondly he has a manager of NUFC who cannot be replaced without the whole club imploding in a manner not seen before in its entire history. If Ashley is a smart gambler then he knows all of this and also realises that now is the time to walk away from the table. He has got his money back, made a tidy profit and had 12 years of exposure for his tatty brand. If he stays at the table then his asset will turn to dust over the next 12 months and wont ever recover while he is the owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
