AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Makes me wonder whether I’ll ever be able to be a proper fan again TBH. Even under a new owner, the whole thing might be tarnished permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Well yeah, probably shouldn’t pretend I wouldn’t in those circumstances I guess. But it is a relief not to have a football team to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Kenyon gets exposure so he can sell his services to any consortia who are actually looking to buy a club for real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I wonder if he's there on Sunday especially with it being against one of his former clubs? Ashley's pals at Sky Sports will be all over him if he is to push the narrative no doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 By default, it'll be a great day when Ashley leaves. But I don't trust Kenyon to be much different tbh, and are these guys even rich? In other news, this definitely won't happen. Does being rich matter? I’d trust him to use our money correctly and market us properly to grow us naturally. There’s not many new owners about buying clubs who have a background in running a club, he’s had two spells at two of the most successful clubs, and was significant in expanding both. Exactly! They doesn't have to be rich just run the club with the money the club generates. - TV-money - Match revenue - Sponsor deals etc. Peter Kenyon is good on the buisiness side of football. He can make the club grow without putting much money in. It's the money the club generates that should be used to buy players. Just as Ashley says actually. Problem with Ashley is that he doesn't make the club generate enough money. On occation when he does he takes the money out himself. But Kenyon has done this before with succes at both Man Utd and Chelsea. What concerns me is that they want to buy the club in installments. They must buy the club with their own money. Not with the money the club will generate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also surley got to be better than Ashley. he wouldn't actually. he is buying the club with debt which he will transfer to the club. paying dividends to him and his consortium every year whilst putting less money n=in the team than Ashley. he will double ticket prices like he did at man utd and Chelsea. he is also letting SD keep the advertising and run the club shops. it would be the worst of all worlds.

Guest neesy111 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 He's had to put out a brochure to attract money, that means he will owe the money to whoever lends him it. Quite logical. It'll probably be similar to how Man Utd were bought out and I don't want it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I don't really care as long as Ashley is gone. New owners might be shit, but their shitness will result in a quicker and easier resale down the line if things don't work out. If things do work out then all is fine and dandy so a win-win situation compared to how it is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things do work out then all is fine and dandy so a win-win situation compared to how it is now. I tend to agree - and with this type of takeover the only way these people make money is for us to improve and be considerably better than we are now. That is of course no guarantee but it’s more ambitious than trying to finish 17th every season as cheaply as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe if you can remove Sports Direct you can easily increase commercial revenue in the club. If you do this even without investment from new owners the club can meet the demands good managers require for players, training facilities etc without too many problems. That's all I want. If they make a few quid at the end fair enough. I'd happily bring back the Sir John Hall, Freddy Shepherd era where they were taking money from the club whilst still seeing investment and progression in the club. End of the day if the club can push towards success rather than settling as we are now, a share offering will bring them their money back in no time.

Hhtoon Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 If they're doing instalments so that they can invest in the club short term then I don't see the problem. Not many people who can afford to buy outright and spend 100-150m on the infrastructure and squad improvements needed off the bat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I mean, say what you want about Kenyon, but could you really see that guy installing Kinnear, Pardew, Carver, McClaren or Bruce as manager?! Absolutely not. Mike Ashley has to go as a priority first, and then figure the rest out from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has destroyed our fan-base and has literally sucked the soul of NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
