Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

How do people think he will leave. I reckon he’s going to put one of his famous letters on the club website

 

It'll be full of "regrets".

 

"I wish we did this differently", "I wish I could've been the owner to see us lift a cup again" etc etc. You'll get the likes of Richard Keys and Adrian Durham going on about what a shame it is to see such a good businessman man like Ashley leaving the league after doing a fantastic job up there.

Another piece on us from the Athletic about Ashley, mostly some Rafa anecdotes and a short trip down memory lane about how he bought the club with some new quotes from John Hall.

 

Bit I found the most interesting:

 

In that column back in August, Benitez said, “They told me they didn’t want to invest in the academy or the training ground — if they like, I can explain the reason why Mike Ashley refused,” which The Athletic understands may have been a reference to supporters abusing the owner from the stands.

 

Thin skinned wanker.

I bet Ashley keeps a box at the stadium, his mother loves going to matches apparently

 

yup. and she'll be cheering like the rest of us where he fucks off.

sure i've seen her joining in the FCB chants especially away from home.

Why? Ashley supports Spurs, doesn’t he?

Also, he’s had the chance to support us for well over a decade.

Might as well f*** off with the cash and spent it on wages for his underpaid straff at SD or whatever.

I could see him just slinking off tbh, no statement or anything.

 

Nah, I can see him doing a statement to list his "achievements" at the club.

I don’t know.

I could easily see him becoming a bit like Simon Jordon where every so often he’ll comment on running a football club for Sky. Not as frequently as Jordon does, bit I could see it happening.

I think sooner or later he’ll have his goodbye interview, and to be honest I look forward to watching/reading it in order to be able to laugh at him and not worry about it.

 

I still think he’ll go back in for another club.

I wrote an article for the Mag last week where I said Sheffield Wednesday would be a club I could see him going after. Well apparently theirs a few clubs close to going under very soon if they aren’t given some sort of funding.

I could easily see Ashley asking them Premier League to hurry up with the directors test, so that he can save a club elsewhere.

Think he’ll go back to being a recluse tbh. You can tell he looks nervous on camera, hates interviews...personally think he’ll bugger off and little will be heard of him again.

yeah thats honestly my impression of him too, still baffled as to why he decided to buy a football club when clearly he has no love of the spotlight (had anyone on here even heard of him before he bought us?)

I'm just waiting for his "I said I'd sell the club to someone who could take it forward" banter. Like hes responsible for any future success.

 

Fuck him. He can have his little moment.

He'll be at the match when we win something to take some credit off the likes of Keys and Co

He can fuck off and never come to the region again.

 

Fat prick.

 

Unless he fancies the club down the road from us. They reckon hes a good owner anyway so it makes sense.

 

Its a perfect fit, just get the Pardew/Charnley dream team back together
