Sean Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 So according to the press they have the money to buy and say its "90%" done, just waiting for an answer from Ashley pretty much. The transfer window shuts soon, Ashley's been on holiday. I wonder...could it be that the fat cunt has gone away and is completely ignoring an offer? Hence the leak, as time is running out for any new owners to be able to make transfers. He has history of this shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Seen Norman Riley from True Faith has done a BBC interview saying "A lot of Saudi government policy, I find abhorrent, so if the deal goes through I will have to re-assess my relationship with the club, absolutely no doubt about it." I really cannot get the mindset where you'll support the club with Ashley in charge for so long, and then re-assess with new owners. If reprehensible owners were an issue surely Ashley would have turned you away already? People like the above will continue to go to the games, and get their name in fanzines etc, as it's not about morals for him, it's about selfishness.

Wilson Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I know I'll be straight back in, but you can't compare ashley with the Saudis like. There will definitely be some people who will walk away if it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facundo Ferreyra Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Wouldn't blame people for walking away (although I do think a lot of the people who are saying they would actually wouldn't) but I'm not going to. I've stuck with the club while Ashley has been in charge, I'd love to see a club that can actually compete at the highest levels. Supporters shouldn't be punished for supporting their club even if the owners are megacunts, and supporting your team doesn't make you complicit in what your owners do outside of football.

Isn't the money essentially state funded wealth as well? I would be a lot more uncomfortable with this, if I didn't despise Ashley so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clashing with your owners can be fulfilling and rewarding, but with Ashley it's not. If these guys are ill-intentioned (or incompetent), unfurling tifos about human rights abuses or whatever would be more fun than chanting about Sports Direct being shit.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I’ll probably just stay as I am, watching from afar and seeing the odd game every few weeks. I don’t see how we can go back to ignoring the owner when we’ve been focused on the owner for over a decade. Innocence has been lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 For those who walk away ( assuming they actually do) I think they will be replaced by fans who will get caught up in the excitement of watching a good team again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
