Guest HTT II Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sir John Hall, you made the biggest mistake of your life selling to Ashley, but who was to know, we certainly as fans lapped it up at the time, you gave us back our club and the best days and most exciting times ever and are truly an NUFC legend in my eyes, you didn’t get it, but you did, and in KK you trusted your man and gave it everything as a team on and off the pitch to bring back a title we last saw in 1927 and you almost did it, for that you go down in history as a saviour of our club and a true bastion of what NUFC means to us all.

The commercial side of the club has been destroyed by that rancid parasite, need someone like him to regrow it. He was the driving force behind the scenes in terms of commercialisation, we went from 6m in debt to being a few million behind Man Utd’s turnover in under 5 years who had a bigger capacity stadium than ours, were a PLC and had a global worldwide fanbase. That was down to him, he was ruthless and was behind the Black and White magazines, the videos, the Odeon matches, the Adidas links, Newcastle Breweries, the lot. KK in a talk-in said he had a great relationship with him and he should be credited as much as anyone for our meteoric rise at that time. Ironically he was against the flotation of the club on the SE from what I’ve been told. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if KK had lasted until the summer of 97, or hell even 98. SBR would have been available. Sliding doors and all that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Chelsea at the start of the Abramovich reign so knows what he’s doing to grow a club commercially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 New owners make no moves a week in to their tenure, even allowing a literal lump of shit continue as manager, because they don't want to make make any brash decisions.

gbandit Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Merson’s such a difficult person to not dislike. I read about his gambling issues and think, fuck, poor guy but he has possibly the most relentlessly shit footballing opinions from almost any pundit, especially about us. Would be good if he could just hold his hands up and say “you know what, I don’t have much to say on this topic as I’m thick as fuck and completely uninformed” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sky have always had their quota of pissheads on their football shows tbf, Georgie Best being the ultimate, but he was such a handsome fella, and had some charisma so you couldn't help like him, the cheeky scamp. Merson just looks like he's went to sleep face down in a bowl of cider and come straight on air after combing his hair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
