Tsunami Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 This is what Ashley said during the summer. He’s either lying (nah) or it’s off as the story is out there. If the bid is serious and he decides not to sell we may as well give up all hope. 'Put in £10m and it's a joke. OK, that's how the market is. But it's not something I can afford, and it's not something Newcastle can afford while I own it. The over-riding reality is that I am just not wealthy enough to own Newcastle. I genuinely believe you need £1billion. People say £500m but I'd bet anyone that these days you can't do it for that. Not to compete at the very top. 'Manchester City can afford to have an ageing team; they can afford to just write players off. How can we do that? It's not possible. Therefore you have to go for the best young players and hope they develop that little bit and become world-beaters. 'That is our principle and it hasn't changed for many years. But to compete, I need someone to take Newcastle off me who literally wants to put in £1billion.' For the Ashley Out campaign and his many detractors, here comes the bad news. 'So I have to assume I will stay running this football club. There are no offers. Define an offer. I'm not a believer any more. Peter Kenyon convinced me last Christmas that it was going to get done. I'm never doing that again. I think I could own this football club for ever. That is my new mental state. The reality is with these deals that once it gets out, if it's not done, it's probably not going to get done. 'The day someone buys Newcastle, they'll do their due diligence - and finished. It will happen like Manchester City. By the time the media find out, it's already complete. There's no need for a delay with Newcastle. It is, honestly, a very well-run football club. 'The last bid, the one from UAE, he's a prince and he's got £38bn or £100bn, all these numbers — well, why would you even care what you're paying then? What difference would £10m either way make? You would want speed, you would want certainty, you would want the keys and to get on with it. 'I will not stand in the way of Newcastle United. I will not stop that, if it happens. If such a person comes along I will think I've done quite a good job and I will want to keep going to watch them. I'll keep a box, because my parents will demand it. Every time there's a story that I've sold, I get the phone call. "You haven't included our box in the sale?" When you own a football club, the whole family are in.'

Dunce Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 10% or rangers he had , TEN! fuck all , and yet he still takes. He simply cannot and will not pull out of anything that makes him money. He is making fucking millions out of us year upon year at the expense of the fans and i believe the general region also. It is impossible for him to give it up , totaly impossible , look at his potfolio man , its all shite brands and crap. Nufc is the most prestigious asset he has. HE WILL NOT LET GO! EVER! There should be a full boycott of every single home game starting immediately until he sells the club once a for all. There is never a better time than now. Enough is enough.

STM Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 His association with us gives him constant media coverage. Barely a game or week goes by without hearing "newcastle owner Mike Ashley", being mentioned. It's not even SD that benefits, its MA himself whether its positive/negative it keeps him in the spotlight. He has become a brand of his own. Remember when he first took over, literally nobody outside of the retail world had heard of him. Now everyone in the UK and parts of Europe, U.S and middle east know him. Having Newcastle has propelled him into the spotlight and given him coverage beyond his wildest dreams. He wont give that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
