Guest The Little Waster Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 1. Bought us in 2007, spread SD around the world..have some fun 2. Brought in Keegan Jan 2008, was ready for fun 3. Global Recession in Q2 2008 - Q2 2009 4. Keegan resigns in Sept 2008 5. Fans go mental and turn on MA 6. MA fucks up selling club to Sheikh Mansour in mid Sept 2008 7. Club gets relegated in June 2009 8. He can't find a buyer for the club whilst in Champo 9. Football becomes a very inflated business and he realizes he can basically do it on the cheap...bla bla bla you all get the timeline. Except 5. Fans briefly go mental then continue to attend matches buy merch , pies , pints etc keeping the whole thing going Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Don't think there's an alternative universe where he doesn't end up being a cunt. It might have lasted longer before he went into cunt mode, but he's such a petty, pathetic fucker that he was always ending up like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 My view, is that when the crowd turned, he just took a vendetta against us. Everything that happened since then is part of that That’s exactly where I’m at. I think he’s actively trying to screw us while taking what he can get.

Noobold Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 So if you add up the profit (loss) after tax, does that mean he has made roughly 20 mil profit since 2008? Done it in my head so rough figures only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The figures are completely wrong, look at player addition cost (£m) vs player sold cost. It's total misinformation. Regardless of that we know the whole purpose of NUFC, whether money is siphoned out or not (which it clearly is, given the plethora of dodgy accounts and refusal to let anyone independent look at the books), the whole point of its existence is to provide massively reduced advertising for ShiteDirect.

Kanj Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Don’t know why people continue to post the financials as is. They are useless. If you want to post anything - show every single top 10 PL club financial statement and compare to ours and throw in league position, signings made, progress in cups, etc. it’s going to show that just because you have a healthy balance sheet it means fuck all in terms of sporting success or ambition. A company we compete with in my field is the exact same size as us and has a padded balance sheet but they’ve done abs fuck all with that money and are chastised for it by their investors and the investment community. We do deals and make things happen and are ambitious at being best value for our investors money. It’s fucking simple. The press don’t seem to ever get that because they are bloody stupid.
