Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

So let me get this straight. Keith Downie has been sitting on this no proof of funds information for 5 weeks since the Bin Zayed Groups statements yet has only decided to come out with it now. This is probably one of the biggest stories surrounding Newcastle and I imagine fans have been asking Keith Downie like every other journalist for information regarding the takeover for the past 5 weeks yet he felt no need to reveal this weeks ago or even write an article about it. I just can't help, but be suspicious of what comes out from Sky Sports reporters regarding Newcastle.

 

Should we assume then no Heads of Terms agreement hasn't been signed either because even for Ashley it would seem very odd to have signed such a document without proof of funds being shown first or am I mixing up the stages of the takeover process.

I still can’t get my head round Odin doing what he did. :lol: He’s been here years hasn’t he?

 

Was totally bizarre and a few had previously backed him on here as knowing him and that he was ok. I know I'm pro takeover, but would I f*** even think about faking stuff to try and get people to think something was happening

Lee Charnley said at the Premier League meeting it was business as usual and also has supposedly just got back from Europe talking to potential managers.. it's not looking to good for a takeover is it?

 

Iv been thinking surely there must be something happening for what's happened so far.. but if there are thousands of people renewing season tickets because they cant find anything to do on a Saturday, then why would he fuck off?

 

There needs to be real anger aimed at the cunt.. but everyone is an individual nowadays, the only thing the working class had to beat the rich was numbers.

 

If we don't go together as a collective.. then we take up the arse until he decides to leave.

So then why don't the Bin Zayed Group just release their planned statement then if the takeover is dead in the water and put us all out of our misery.

I suspect that’s the statement that’s coming

Ashley can end it when he wants by refusing a bid.. its up to the other party to decide if they have had enough or not if he keeps drawing it out.

It'll be interesting to know the renewal numbers, there's a lot of talk of people quitting after 20/30/40 years and their kids too, of course social media isn't a great barometer but it's definitely the most United I've seen the fan base online. This has got to be it now surely, there's no coming back from this nightmare.

Considering how bad this summer has been I would expect the Bin Zayed Group statement to say the deal is off, but its just odd to hold off on announcing it if that is the case.

 

Sorry if I have been repeating myself for the last 2 pages.

Has anyone even seen anyone in a new shirt yet? I saw one lad in walker the other day. So if that means anything. The season tickets must have made an impact too.

 

It is an almighty amount of revenue to just lose. The potential income if the FCB was remotely considerate to the fan base would fill his big size 50waist jeans nicely.

Sad thing is, if the appoint a half decent manager plenty will go back.

 

Ashley has the fans by the bollocks. Even if we get relegated he won’t care. He’ll sell off a few players and have the parachute payments. The only thing that will make him sweat imo is pressure on Sports Direct.

Tv money will more than cover any lose of revenue from season tickets and shirt sales i’d have thought

 

Just because the TV money is more than the season ticket sales doesn't mean losing the season ticket sales won't have a big impact. It will.

He’s likely just to sell even more and sign even less.

What happened exactly?, missed this completely.

 

EDIT: Seen it now, bizarre thing to do.

Generally when fans go on about the tv money its an excuse to still attend matches . Lower crowds eventually means Nufc becomes less of a going concern ... we only have to tip Nufc to being a loss maker for him and thats when theres pressure on him to sell . Every little helps

Does it really matter though?  While he's here the club doesn't matter at all, not IMO anyway, each to their own.  Only thing I care about now is him gone, anything else (who we sign, who we sell, next manager, relegation ect) means fuck all IMO except how it relates to Ashley fucking off.

His price increase over the past two seasons will probably soften the blow mind.

I am certain that lack of support within the ground will have a negative impact on shirt and stadium advertising. No one wants BAD press.

 

If only FCB went on TV and done a Gerald Ratner.

 

Only the older members will remember that company and how he ended up broke in one single interview.

Where I'm at now as well.  See social media pages etc going on about next manager and who will replace Perez etc etc...honestly, who gives a fuck?
