Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

The best part about how thin our squad is right now is that there's really nobody he can sell for a profit. Maybe Almiron. No one is paying 40m for Joelinton. If ASM is injured all season, we'll be lucky to recoup what was spent. Longstaff might go, but in his current form he's not a premierleague player. Our good CBs like Fernandes and Schar will have 0 and 1 year left on their deals at the end of this season, Yedlin will have 1 year to go. This relegation will cost Ashley real money.

 

Sounds good to me

Now I'm not Joe Allons greatest fan but he does nail some points here:

 

Allon, speaking to Love Sport Radio earlier today, had this to say about the possible £300m takeover bid tabled by former Manchester United and Chelsea chief Peter Kenyon: "It’s like getting the Michael Owen DVD bought for you, guess what, it wouldn’t play.

 

"The Peter Kenyon brochure, firstly, have you got any tipp-ex handy because all they did was tipp-exed Rafa's name out and put Steve bruce in!

 

"Steve Bruce ‘is a manager with unparalleled success in, wait for it, Europe’. Pray tell, my gosh, Greggs in Benidorm?!

 

"It’s like Sunderland in Europe - the last time Sunderland were in Europe they let the sails down, snapped the oars and threw the cannons over the side.

 

"It’s just a PR stunt. It’s a cheap diversionary tactic. It’s farcical. It won’t be taken seriously by the fans or the EPL or the Premier League and I tell you it’s just another smoke screen."

Ashley, selling club, PR stunt, diversionary tactic. As has always been the case.

This cunts “empire” is crumbling, enjoy it  O0

 

If it does, it will be pretty hard to enjoy as nufc will be dragged to the bottom with it.  Aye, if that's what it takes to get rid of him so be it, but it will definitely hurt.

Ashley's decision making with regards to NUFC is so poor that we can only end up failing, Rafa took the decision making out of his hands for a bit and the club took off, a few weeks after that power was taking from Rafa the club is doomed.

On Ginger Pirlo's point on the media.

Martin Samuel has been at it again today, anybody see it?

Newcastle's for sale and has been for years (no evidence to corroborate , nothing but evidence to the contrary) - all you need is £300million.

Newcastle is a tight ship for the "express purpose" of selling - nothing to do with greed and 12years of not being sold is irrelevant in this conclusion.

I used to think he's either an abysmal journalist and moron or in cahoots with the regime - its obviously both.

This PR is like a crazy person talking to themselves, they're doing a fakeover back and forthand PR'ing themselves but nobody outside the plot gives a 3uck.

To be fair we have fans who believe this shit and regurgitate it, which is more unforgivable in my eyes. Samuel has an agenda...probably keeping in with a chance of getting 'exclusives' off Mike.

Long article in the Athletic from Chris Waugh about the failed takeover bids

 

You able to give us a gist?

 

I just want to know the real story around the BZG supposed bid. I got reeled in by it and I’m still bitter about that :lol:
