Toon No9 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 If the prince of saudi can't buy this club, no one can! The clubs just not for sale and the only thing to make him wanna sell is direct threts and violence to him and sports direct. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but the only thing that would make him want to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 It’s not the only thing though. Not turning up would be a better idea, make him lose money from the club. Relegation and staying down too. One thing’s for certain, staying in the Premier League and not selling to any buyer is certainly not going to get rid of him despite some deluding themselves that we’re a better prospect for sale if we stay in the top tier. Would be all well and good if the fella actually wanted to sell. But he won’t while he continues to make money out of us. That’s it really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 If we go down he won’t sell because he’ll no longer be offered a sum where he really thinks he’s winning. Currently his mind set is £340m-£350m for the club. He’s probably going to put another £10m-£25m on that price to really make him thinks he’s won on the deal. So in his head he’s somewhere near the £360m-£375m price. If we go down he’s not getting that, nowhere near. The club will almost half in value if not more than that price. He would rather not put any money and let the club go bust like Bury then not win on a deal. The only way he’s going is if someone is going to pay £360m-£375m for the club. These Saudi’s are one of the few people who are going to do that. If he doesn’t sell, then we have honestly have to hope he kicks the bucket before he drags us too far down the pyramid.

Most, like myself, know it could be the end of the club plummeting down the leagues (just look at the fucking Mackem’s). Being in the top division is an easier prospect of turning the club back to what it once was under new ownership (assumption, but a better bet than languishing in lower divisions). Staying in the lower leagues will damage our market value and the amount of chancers looking to buy a football club increases. Him not wanting to sell is more than evident if this fizzles out (as previous attempts have shown). We are absolutely fucked right now unless the ground suddenly empties week in and week out. Threatening the bottom line is all that matters. Football purgatory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 So Mike as pocket atleast 750k in the dataroom stage the last couple of years. Great for business being up for sale and not wanting to sell. In the Peter Kenyon fakeover he (Mike Ashley) lost almost £1m in costs according to Mark Douglas. He wants to sell, but he wants to sell on his conditions with Sports Direct clauses etc included in the sell. Then he doesn't want to sell. Imagine buying a house where the seller insisted he wanted to keep his ham and tomatoes in the fridge. Ashley is so full of shit man. But Lee Ryder and co will continue polishing his tiny knob.

xLiaaamx Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The year is 2040. Newcastle are in league two and now bring a rolling Sports Direct store with them to away matches. It's been a huge hit and Ashley is now richest man in Britain. He just can't compete with the powerhouses of league two though.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Jim Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I left, and haven't been back, 6 years ago. He's still here. Along with 52000 fans. It's going to be some time. I used to commute up from Nottingham every other week until the Keegan fiasco.Swore I’d never go back until Ashley left...still waiting.Used to watch the match on Telly when Rafa was around....not watched a single match under Bruce, won’t watch another game till he’s gone. Still follow the scores and read the forum daily and sadly want to believe every time there’s a fakeover....but I’m very gullible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The problem I have is that I no longer enjoy football like I want to. I've stopped being bothered about our team's results, I feel nothing towards them anymore other than sadness that I can't get excited about them. Football as a sport has been ruined for me because it's not something that you can just turn off and support a different team, there's always that tie at the back of my mind to Newcastle United which unfortunately is also tied to a scumbag who's ownership taints everything and prevents enjoyment. Until Mike Ashley goes I'm in football limbo and it breaks the heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 In Mike Ashley's broader business career, has he ever sold a company he owned? Is it possible that part of the problem is that Ashley doesn't actually know how to effectively sell a company and keeps stuffing it up? The stories coming out now certainly look like an attempt to start providing excuses for why a deal fell through. I think he sold Dunlop, don't recollect any others. Doubled his money the greedy fat fingered oath irrc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 He sold his shares in Puma, and JD Sports. Ok they were SD purchases, but as overall majority shareholder he would presumably had to have given it’s go ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I've said it before, he has spent too much time, money and resources to not sell us eventually. I dont think the end is a million miles away. Within the next 3 seasons or so. He's just a cunt who gets a kick out of playing hard ball and getting a deal. Kenyon probably had the right idea trying to massage his ego. Fuck knows who will end up buying us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy some players, sell some players but no big outlay on the squad. This is what he has been doing sience he bought the club and that's what he will do as long as he owns the club. He has no reason for selling the club. If he wanted to sell, this deal with the saudis would've been already completed by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
