Pandamninator Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Optus Sport pre game coverage over here in Australia, not sure if it's an exclusive thing or just rebroadcast. Ian Wright is also there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infatuation Junkie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 People on twatter saying we were unlucky. We didn’t play too badly. Was I watching a different game? That lot was a shambles. First time I have heard the players speaking on the pitch from the tv ever. I was actually laughing at times due to sheer boredom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribesman Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I noticed Phil Neville joined a long list of pundits praising Ashley for being a good businessman. I'm fairly sure owners at other Premier League clubs are successful businessmen, but are still able to run their football clubs competently yet we only hear the good businessman comment when it comes to Ashley. Its a discussion about football what Ashley does at Sports Direct means nothing in the context of how he is poorly running Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 When people claim he’s a good businessman, it just shows how little they know on the topic. They have no idea how his poor decisions at SD via his employment issues, his horrendous acquisitions and other strategic decisions over the past few years have mostly failed and degraded the share price of his company - coupled with the fact that his entire business model contradicts e-commerce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good businessmen don't buy football clubs because it's good business. They buy football clubs because it is a passion that their good business sense affords them the opportunityy to facilitate.

That's all despite the club being on TV far more and having a much greater media following than most other teams in the bottom of the Premiership. At a time when games are being broadcast more and more both at home and abroad Ashley has been completely unable to raise the club's profile and bring in additional sponsorship.

He couldn’t. They are too far out of his financial clout. I could see Primark releasing a Primark Sports brand to go up against him to be honest.

Says it should be about staying up now before moving on to the next step, but for that to happen we all have to be pulling in the same direction. As if Ashley's blameless and it's the fans fault.

Begbie Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 What I dont understand with Ashley and the way he does business. -When Pardew did great the first season we did not invest -A few years later he appoints McClaren(just sacked in Championship) and let him go on a spend a lot of money -McClaren gets sacked and later Benitez comes in and get almost no money -Benitez leaves, and they appoint Bruce(just sacked from championship club) and let him spend money. Why do they keep appointing shit managers and let them spend money, while 1st season Pardew and World Class Benitez get nothing. I would say thats a bad football businessman and businessman.
