Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

Those querying the wages, guessing that’s about right given the large bonuses he gives for every place above 17th as well?

I can see that resemblance. Brucie's tits are bigger than Barbara Windsor's, though.

Babs' tits would probably be more motivational as training than the facilities.....pity they weren't great even by the standards of the time

I can easily believe that, even without bonuses (if those bonuses even exists for the players). Villa will probably over take us next year and Wolves will gain significantly.

This one is damning.

 



Swiss Ramble on Twitter: "Despite the fall in 2020, #NUFC £153m revenue has grown £27m (21%) in last four years, entirely due to the new TV deal that started in 2017/18. It’s a similar story since Ashley’s arrival in 2007, as revenue has grown £66m, but £80m is from centrally negotiated TV contracts. https://t.co/7pUTGmZRR7" / Twitter

This one's quite damning isn't it. Raises a question whether owners are expected to invest their own money into the team or keep things sustainable like Ashley's model aims for. Makes it look better for potential investors on the other hand

It has nothing to do with Ashley that. They are confusing it with the land across the road.

Also recently the Strawberry pub are being vocal against it on social media, but they were actually all for it during the planning process.

Is it student accommodation or office space that’s going in?

 

Either way they probably were hoping for an increase in foot fall which is why they supported it. It’s never come across like a bar that’s done exceptionally well, financially I mean.

The easy ride Mike Ashley gets off the local press is embarrassing, I went to a talk in a few years ago and the general feeling with the press guys was "Newcastle have no debt, they live within their means and are well ran unlike other clubs that pile up loans" 

 

Nobody will challenge him because they get a ban and its their job to cover Newcastle, John Gibson is the only man calling them out, but nobody reads or listens to him.

There are even some fans that have this view, fucking barmy!
