TheGuv Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 How much do we think the club is now worth? He might be a good businessman when it came to Sports Direct. But he fucked up his diversification massively. Surely the club is on its way to becoming worth at least £1bn? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The problem with Ashley is that he only knows one way to make money. Cheap and (not-so) cheerful. And that's all he did. So he couldn't adapt or do things in a more high end market. And nothings more high end than the PL. Even a recent BBC article showed his inability to understand the luxury market. The article shows his son in law is now CEO and running the group, and doing quite well focusing on Flannels, the high end part of the group but MA thinks it's bonkers for people to spend that kind of money - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65613808 He was the wrong fit completely. Ironically if he bought someone less aspirational, his model may have been deemed decent for someone grateful to have been plucked from obscurity or survive financial meltdown to be competing at a decent level. His lack of due diligence into who NUFC were and what they represented versus his outlook and vision is the core of a lot of the hate and misalignment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 If Coventry come up then he’ll probably do all he can to wrestle control of them. The new owners may welcome cashing in straight away. Keys and Hoffman aside, I’d feel sorry for the poor bastards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd’s income was four times ours when we were bought - but if they’re sold they’ll go for around seventeen or eighteen times what we did. I suspect the club is worth roughly double the £350m they paid already, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Couldn't run a football club like a business, allowing it to become a dilapidated shell before palming it off and letting someone else at least double it's value in the space of barely 18 months. And that's just the start of the transformation. 'smart businessman' indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Genuinely reckon he hates himself for this. The prick wanted to be loved when he first arrived. Wasn't he considered a 'recluse' before we accepted him with open arms and suddenly he was downing pints in the stands? But he couldn't help himself from becoming a petty, spiteful little bitch due to his own mistakes. And I hope it haunts him every time he catches one of our games and he realises how much easier those 14 years could've been for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far we have only spent a small amount of what he’s stopped us from spending over the years. Imagine if we even did what Spurs did on money that we brought in. He would have been able to sell us for £2bn. Instead he’s got about half of what San Diego have paid for an MLS team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically just proved every Newcastle fan right. It's amazing, really. Europe in 11 of 13 seasons before our first full season under his ownership led us to 1 European excursion in 15 seasons. Then as you say, first full season and back not just in Europe, but the CL. I'm not saying we have a right to be there or owt.. But when run properly..

Groundhog63 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I'm not sticking up for the 20 stone cardiac arrest on legs BUT it might not have worked anyway. I always said he had no vision, no concept of how big a beast he had in his hands and what it could really be. It's all about decision making tho and, as we've seen countless times it fails more than succeeds. We've been incredibly lucky landing Howe and pretty much every decision that's been made during the last 18months has come off. Thats either unrivalled expertise or luck.
