I always feel someone like Ashley will be good for a club who’s failing in championship. 

He’s not good for anyone or anything. He’s a parasite, he lives to leech off others

If he did buy sheff wed do you think you'd see pardew back in management? 😂

Is the fat cunt in to buy Wednesday or is he on their wish list as potential owners?

 

Hopefully there are concrete links because otherwise... well, twerking for Ashley is depressing as fuck

Nice to see some of the Newcastle myths are still going strong. 

This was the one that got me. 

 

 

 Where do you even begin? Bought us as a recent Champions League/Europa-level mainstay and left us bottom of the table having been twice relegated, spent nothing, nor let any revenue be used to improve the club, and used the club as a free advertisement for his tat emporium for 14 fucking years.

 

The more I read stuff like that the more I'm against democracy. Spectacularly thick cunts.

 

[ExiledGeordie]

Haha stupid cunts, just wait and see what happens. They can fucking own it when the shit hits the fan.

This was posted too. Few sensible comments but a lot of insanity here.

Fair enough I didn’t see that 

[mikejaxer]

Never have any strong feelings about them but at this point, I hope Ashley buys them and fucks them over harder than he did us. Sheffield United was always the bigger club anyway.

Hate that narrative and the willful ignorance to just go with it rather than think about it for a minute or do a bit of research.

Its one thing to not know the inner workings of another club - free advertising, one token board memeber, the training ground farce - but surely you notice when a club that's never been in a relegation battle in the PL era is in them most seasons and getting relegated twice.

 

Its obvious the Venky's are bad owners just from Blackburn's performances under them and its not as stark as with us.

 

Aside from everything else that's been mentioned we were 5th in the all time Premier League table when Ashley bought us - 40points ahead of Spurs from 42 less games, during his spell we were 70points ahead of Stoke having played 76 more games.

 

Wouldn't wish him on anyone unless they're pig ignorant enough to want him then they can have at it. Maintain he's only interested in cleaving money out of an established situation and any club he owns will be deliberately less than itself to facilitate that rather than trying to improve anything

Were they bollocks 

[Mazzy]

So many Wednesday fans thinking he'll be putting money into every aspect of the club, training ground, youth setup, sport science etc... how naive can you be.

[Stifler]

I’ve said it before, but I wouldn’t wish Ashley on anyone, but I would like to see him take control of another football club purely because it would prove us right.

What better way of doing it than him owning a club who wish it upon themselves.

 

I tried to warn them all a few years back, I addressed all the things they are saying now and took them apart individually.

A few of them are saying that he sold us to billionaires, and that he could do for them.

Now I believe Sheffield Wednesday to be big club fallen on hard time, but in the 21st century they have spent over 20 years outside of the Premier League. They have had long spells in the 3rd tier. Their stadium now has no modern facilities, and is described by away fans as a death trap waiting to happen. They have been sold numerous times, and have constantly been for sale. If anyone was going to come in and buy them to reach the top, then they would have done so before, they certainly aren’t waiting for Mike Ashley to give them a boost up.

[Keegans Export]

I honestly wouldn't have an issue if the attitude was "Well, he'd be better than the guy we have now" and if the choice is a club owned by Ashley or no club at all then give me the fat cockney. Fair enough.

 

The problem is the re-writing history of both Ashley as an owner and the expectations of the fan base before/during his time here. Uneducated, unresearched garbage on both fronts. 

[Wolfcastle]

Must just be that 99% of the fanbases of the two clubs that have first hand experience of Ashley absolutely detesting the bastard are wrong.

Bet Sheff Wed's fans said that same thing when they hired Bruce - that the Villa fans were totally wrong about him. Went on to shaft them a few month later.

[Interpolic]

Sheff Wed fans showed themselves up when they fumed at our fans for wanting to feel safe at a football match. Can only assume they have more than their fair share of backwards divvies among their support. 

[Sima]

Hope they fold.

Was thinking wouldn't wish him on any club but after reading that..... fuck 'em!

It was an innocent question, but even though I'd only got a mere 40 minutes into my rant I could sense that they definitely regretted asking it

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, I've been there.

Was on my way to work when read a text/email from this Spurs fan I was in touch with over a matter. He asked "'what's Ashley actually done wrong anyway?" - got into responding to that and next thing I knew I was one stop away from missing my stop and had to finish the text/email later.

Well, you say that, but if the Owls play their cards right... there'll be a few pints in it for them.

Do they own any land around the stadium he could sell to himself for peanuts and then sell it for a massive profit ?

While they're going on about how our expectations are ridiculous.. they expect Mike Ashley of all people to do all that.

I don't know anything about Newcastle or Mike Ashley = I don't know anything about what Mike Ashley has/hasn't done = I don't know a single thing Mike Ashley did wrong = Mike Ashley hasn't done anything wrong.
