Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

By default, it'll be a great day when Ashley leaves. But I don't trust Kenyon to be much different tbh, and are these guys even rich?

 

In other news, this definitely won't happen.

 

Does being rich matter? I’d trust him to use our money correctly and market us properly to grow us naturally. There’s not many new owners about buying clubs who have a background in running a club, he’s had two spells at two of the most successful clubs, and was significant in expanding both.

If Kenyon takes over we will have no money at all because he is basically buying the club with a mortgage secured against the club, with Ashley waiting in the wings to re buy us on the cheap when things go tits up.

 

Our saviour.........

Having crap owners with shallow pockets is perversely better than a crap owner with money in the bank. Every time Ashley's mismanagement sends us down, he can stick in £20-30m and keep the zombie walking. Those on a tighter budget can't- and at that point the dynamics of a further sale see the buyers with the leverage, not the vendors.

Pretty sure this is just Ashley f***ing with us again. Him and Kenyon seem far too close for comfort.

 

:thup: "look at how crap the alternatives are, remember how I'm doing you all a favour by owning the club. LEEDS".

 

Everything related to Ashley is PR bullshit.

Exactly. And Kenyon gets exposure so he can sell his services to any consortia who are actually looking to buy a club for real.

Exactly! They doesn't have to be rich just run the club with the money the club generates.

 

- TV-money

- Match revenue

- Sponsor deals

etc.

 

Peter Kenyon is good on the buisiness side of football. He can make the club grow without putting much money in. It's the money the club generates that should be used to buy players. Just as Ashley says actually. Problem with Ashley is that he doesn't make the club generate enough money. On occation when he does he takes the money out himself.

 

But Kenyon has done this before with succes at both Man Utd and Chelsea.

 

What concerns me is that they want to buy the club in installments. They must buy the club with their own money. Not with the money the club will generate.

Plus there's Kenyon £15 million management fee to pay for, that garage he rents off the council and calls it his office doesn't pay for itself you know.
