Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

Mike's prescence didn't fill me with confidence last night. It's hard to imagine why he'd be there if he's on the brink of selling.

 

He's a weird bloke.

 

It can be spun as a positive or a negative, so probably best to ignore it completely.

As the man himself said, believe in this only when it’s officially announced out of the blue. Whatever is going on right now, there will be no takeover and never will be until we’re the first to know only!

Simon Jordan spouting shite again. Doesn’t think the deal will happen, Mike never pulls out of deals, no one ever offers what he wants blah blah

 

Aye, is that not exactly what he did the first time with Staveley?

 

Admittedly, he claimed she never actually made any bid/offer (which she refuted to Caulkin), but he pulled out/walked away when he accused her of timewasting.

As long as theirs nothing official being said it’s easy to make up stories to fill in the blanks.

How anyone has just taken a story from IndyKilla though is beyond me, though footballinsuder247 is hardly known for it inside information.

Simon Jordan has even admitted he isn’t friends with Ashley and only met him very briefly. The guy just likes him because he’s running a club like how he’d want to run it, no investment and taking as much out of it as he can. He’s a wind up merchant and he knows he’s got a number of our fans properly wound up and their finger on the dial button to talk sport.

The Wall Street Journal were quite clear about the situation when they wrote the piece. And the journalist interviewed on the radio backed it up by saying they wouldn’t have written the piece unless it was likely to happen.

 

Any and all confusion that’s gone on since are when the national media and local rags got involved.

I'll take Odin's word on this.  He's a very trustworthy chap when it comes to takeover things.

Lee Ryder and Mark Douglas both stirring up fans on Twitter by claiming this and that. They know nothing. They just want clicks on their website. Poor journalists.

About time we boycotted them both and their organisations.

Luke Edwards is the worst

I think any takeover talk should be completely ignored for now.

For me , the tipping point will be when we hit 40points , if there is anything in this , i believe this is when it will happen.

When it doesnt , it rubber stamps the belief of many that he will never ever sell the club.

Anyone grab a screenshot of it? For some reason, Chopra seems to talk sense and didn't he hint at these talks months ago? Not that it's difficult to make up, mind.....

 

It is getting closer #toon #toon

 

 

Thats what it says. no screen shots though

In a way it would be good if the saudis bought West Ham. Then we know what Ashley turned down. Hard for him to explain why he didn't do the deal and continue to say he's a willing seller.

 

Hopefully this move to bid for West Ham is just a way to put pressure on Ashley to speed up the sale of Newcastle.
