Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

He must at least be due a knighthood soon, for saving the high street, and all that.

 

John Hall got one for building a big shopping centre. He never put his hand in his pocket and bought one shop, never mind how many 'Sir Mike' has.

One of the things that has really pissed me off in these takeover sagas over the past couple of years is it’s always us as fans that’s strung on and has the piss taken out of us for a certain extent. We hear snippets of info and then papers like the chronicle rehash any slight bit of info for clicks. We get told nothing from the club. Nothing from the bidders and then it just fizzles out without actually finding out what the reason is. Same with the Dubai based group, Stavely, Kenyon and now this Saudi group. Some of them even using the fan base as a sort of pawn.

Let me tell you why they all failed. Mike Ashley.

 

Next ask me one on Sport.

Why would the Saudi government and the two richest men in the UK need to arrange financing?

 

Am I reading this wrong?  I'd think they could lay their hands on the required cash in pretty short order.

 

I think it's meant to mean arranging to pay, rather than arranging getting money.
