We could have Haaland playing for us right now and a boatload of recent trophies if Mike fucking Ashley didn't decide to get shit faced ffs If it makes you feel better it’s all bollocks.

They brought Keegan in to raise the value of the sale "the Arabs wanted Kevin". They messed them around and they bought Man City from a motivated seller that wasn't pissing them around.

Always found it interesting that Kinnear was no more of a dinosaur than Bruce yet got treated very different from him by the press. I’d bring him back for press conferences only.

Stifler Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Agreed to let Coventry play in his stadium for 5 years. I mean what the fuck would he do with a stadium without a team to play there in anyway? Might as well have bought the Reynolds arena in Darlington.

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.

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...
