AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 @ All you Adam Smith types, Is buying the failing brands of the high street good business strategy or is it mental? Said it a few times, I don’t get Ashley’s recent strategy at all. Getting deeper and deeper into a failing industry and brands that will never recover. I guess it’s all he knows. If I was him I’d cash out my £500m and retire, but I guess he has that business person drive that never seems to let up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm convinced he will turn up at Sunderland over the next few months Along with the return of Pards to football would be sweet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm convinced he will turn up at Sunderland over the next few months Mackems would love it, Mike not so much. Why would he, no way of making money off that lot whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 If he buys them for £20 million there is, he has a bonk on for buying failing business and trying to turn them around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

number9shirt Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I remember reading somewhere Ashley being linked with buying crystal palace, wouldn't be surprised to see that happen. No surprise Jordan is constantly licking Ashley's bung hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie john Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 There is absolutely no way on this planet that he will ever buy another football club. He hates owning us, why do it again? He will use any money from the sale to support his shitty retail empire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 If he bought the mackems and took them to the Prem they'd be loving him, but then he'll put the squeeze on and do his usual shit. Imagine us being a good side and battering an Ashley owned Sunderland twice a year man. Fucking great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I wouldn't be to sure about that, he has ran Newcastle for 13 years at a profit, if he could purchase Sunderland for a pittance he could turn it around, drinking a pint from a plastic glass surrounded by makems would put him on the same pedestal as the 73 team, that hatrick fella and Bally.

Rafalove Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Does the fact he sold during a pandemic prove those of us who boycotted were right to do so, and if more of us had done so, we might have been able to get him to sell earlier?

Ego, decades of being branded the King of a Tat Emporium and a running joke who lucked into a winning lottery ticket have gotten to him. Same as Newcastle where he refused to change because he was going to beat football, he wants to run his business "his way" and show all those snobby twats that he's actually a genius while making himself more upmarket. What he needs to realise buying some failing high street brands doesn't undo that, it's the equivalent of sticking Steve Bruce in one of Pep's fancy suits and giving him a Gucci manpurse - it doesn't change what he is.

Believe it or not Sunderland fans dont just live in a 500 yard area around the stadium, they live and work in the same area as Newcastle fans. If Ashley gets them up the ground will be full again.

Dr Jinx Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Apparently there’s a meeting happening today for Sports Direct where there’s a motion to remove the whole board. There’s a story in the Telegraph but it’s behind a paywall. It wouldn’t surprise me if he keeps hold of his shares just long enough for things to pick up a bit and then just gets out of there.
