Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

Can you imagine telling Man U fans, "You should've stuck with Moyes. You're a mid-table club now. Just accept it."?

 

"Hey Hull fans, he's your owner and if he wants to call you the tigers he can. Stop being so ungrateful."

 

Even.... "David Moyes did a grand job. I don't know what the mackems' problem is."

 

It just doesn't compute, does it? Instinct just tells you that they know their club better than you do and are right to have expectations and ambition. And yet every cnut going seems to understand our club better than we do.

Anyone think he’ll stay in football after this?

No....I think he hates football....it’s just another irritant to him....all that concerns him is his SD

Agree, I think he's done with football personally. He's done well out of it, but he's shown no inclination to buy lower profile clubs within his budget. Can't see the fat cunt buying Sunderland after having owned Newcastle. Just too much of a climbdown even for him. He'd be a public laughing stock.

Didn't he get involved with Oldham ?

Sports Direct were their shirt sponsors for five years. Ended recently though.

Ah was it just a shirt sponsor was it? I thought he was involved deeper into the club somehow.

I seem to remember that Boundary Park was renamed SportsDirect.com Park at some point but I'm not 100% sure on that. Think it was just SD publicity he used/uses Oldham for.

If he retains any connection with football it will probably be along those lines in the future. His fortune has been whittled down quite significantly, I doubt he is in the mood to take any more punts on football clubs. They don't always make you money, think he'll be less inclined to take risks with what he's got left.

I'll say one thing in his defence.  He did say he would only sell to buyers who could provide the club with the financial backing to take us to the next level.  If this goes thru you cant argue that he has been true to his word on that score.

 

Like he actually gives a fuck.

Someone has stolen £1m worth of stock from his warehouse during the lock down.

 

I’m not positing they link though, it’s a s*n report.

 

Pretty easy to narrow down a list of suspects, you'd have to have a fucking sizeable haulage fleet available to tally up £1m of Donnay and Slazenger gear.

 

Anyone know what Mr Stobart was up to that night?

Getting into Templar-related international escapades with Nico?

I'm sorry, I have no idea what I was thinking when I stuck in a hyphen.

He does, but for selfish reasons.

 

The reason why he wanted someone who could "take the club forward" is because he knows anyone able to bankroll the club and make it rain in the transfer market would also be able to meet his ridiculous asking price, other fellow chancers wouldn't pay 350 million for it or the 300 million he looks to have secured himself in the current fucked financial climate.

Has anyone done the maths to see what he (potentially) walks away with after 13 years?  Not including the free sponsorship but the premiership/tv money not invested. Player sales and sale price?

what?  he can't take money out of the club like that man

 

very roughly it'll be

130m he paid initially paid back

130m loan to himself repaid

300m sale price rumoured

 

so 50-60m profit all told plus the years of free advertising

 

he's done pretty fucking well tbf

And also the unquantifiable amounts he's creamed off the top from agents fee's etc plus the land sale, plus the free advertising.

 

He's certainly cleared well over £120m imho one way or the other.
