Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

I’ve got nothing against Coventry City, never came across one of their fans. If anything I like them for griefing Sunderland fans, and have sympathy for their city as whole if we are to believe the stories about Coventry was sacrificed to the Luftwaffe during WW2. In saying that, Richard Keys, and Gary Hoffman can lap this shit up over and over.

 

In all seriousness though, I hope Coventry City’s new owners just go ahead with building their own stadium and leave Ashley and their everlasting stadium troubles behind.

We were surprised to learn of this intention by Frasers Group, given that discussions with Coventry City prior to the completion of their purchase of the Arena led us to understand the existing terms would continue unchanged with Frasers Group as the new owners of the Arena.

 

Mike Ashley lying?  Never in the fucking world.

Frasers Group have now presented to Coventry City a new agreement with new commercial terms

 

Wonder if despite owning the ground, he wasn't able to just plaster it with SD advertising, as that may have had to go through the club, hence this new agreement hes trying to force them to sign up to, probably includes it becoming another SD hoarding?

"discussions"..."led us to understand"...

 

Doesn't sound the strongest position, unless they had that nailed down in writing.

Fucking hell. So apparently he is about to appoint Gary Hoffman to the board of the company he owns for the Coventry arena. This is the same Gary Hoffman who was brought onto the PL’s board by the top 6 clubs and BeIN to block our takeover, the same Gary Hoffman who is apparently a massive Coventry City fan.

Keys also seems very quiet on this today.

Be some massive scam by Ashley, getting Hoffman and probably Keys on board, trying to get the club on the cheap, with roles promised for them.

Surely if the club tell him to fuck off and look elsewhere he’s going to be stuck with a massive white elephant?

 

Makes no sense whatsoever 

 

 

 

That simply won't happen because of the "guess who wins again" principle.

Could see this turn of events coming ages ago. It was the only logic behind him going after the stadium instead of the club. He’s a piece of work.

I know. I've never subscribed to this idea that he'd be a good owner for XYZ a club that people float.

Based on what?! He's been nothing but a total c**t.

He ran us like we were Coventry/Derby he'd run Coventry/Derby like they were Burton/Mansfield. He's in it for him and creaming the surpluss off the top of what a club really is and what he wants it to be is his game.

What surplus would he get from Coventry or Derby ? Best he'd get is getting them up and flipping them.

We can at least dream about a scenario where the club gets another stadium and everyone in the surrounding area of the current stadium shuns it no matter what Ashley tries to do with it...until he wins again.

The sickest part is that capitalism offers much easier rewards for investment elsewhere - this fucker clearly likes the power of toying with people’s emotions. No-one is going to get hung up over him doing this with a distressed sports brand or high street shopping chain.  The bastard simply enjoys hurting people.
