Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

So according to the press they have the money to buy and say its "90%" done, just waiting for an answer from Ashley pretty much.

 

The transfer window shuts soon, Ashley's been on holiday. I wonder...could it be that the fat cunt has gone away and is completely ignoring an offer? Hence the leak, as time is running out for any new owners to be able to make transfers. He has history of this shit.

It's no chance of going through before the window closes either way.

Seen Norman Riley from True Faith has done a BBC interview saying "A lot of Saudi government policy, I find abhorrent, so if the deal goes through I will have to re-assess my relationship with the club, absolutely no doubt about it."

 

I really cannot get the mindset where you'll support the club with Ashley in charge for so long, and then re-assess with new owners. If reprehensible owners were an issue surely Ashley would have turned you away already?

 

People like the above will continue to go to the games, and get their name in fanzines etc, as it's not about morals for him, it's about selfishness.

Pretty much spot on.

They all talk about walking away, thing is they get more out of NUFC than they let on.

Wouldn't blame people for walking away (although I do think a lot of the people who are saying they would actually wouldn't) but I'm not going to. I've stuck with the club while Ashley has been in charge, I'd love to see a club that can actually compete at the highest levels. Supporters shouldn't be punished for supporting their club even if the owners are megacunts, and supporting your team doesn't make you complicit in what your owners do outside of football.

Exactly. Isn't the money essentially state funded wealth as well? I would be a lot more uncomfortable with this, if I didn't despise Ashley so much.

Clashing with your owners can be fulfilling and rewarding, but with Ashley it's not.  If these guys are ill-intentioned (or incompetent), unfurling tifos about human rights abuses or whatever would be more fun than chanting about Sports Direct being shit.

I know I'll be straight back in, but you can't compare ashley with the Saudis like.  There will definitely be some people who will walk away if it happens.

 

Same here, and I can fully respect people who walk away. Although they should have done as soon as Ashley binned off Keegan tbh.
