Froggy Posted Tuesday at 07:40 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:40 7 minutes ago, Boey_Jarton said: The damage Ashley inflicted on NUFC during his 14 year tenure destroyed the enterprise value of the club to the tune of hundreds of millions, if not billions. It is the very reason why NUFC could be bought 'five times over'. Ashley's NUFC financial starting point was similar to that of Spurs. He then inexplicably oversaw zero growth in commercial revenues, ran the stadium and infrastructure to the ground, masterminded two relegations, appointed Joe Kinnear, and used the whole club as a vehicle to sell tat via his sports shop, paying zero in advertising. In masterminding this shit show, one could argue that Ashley took nothing out of the club, beyond recouping loan repayments that he lent the club and the ultimate sale of the shares to PIF/Reuben brothers. If you think this makes Ashley a good or better owner than the Glazers, who I also think are terrible owners but for different reasons, then you either do not understand football finance or are just so blinkered by the issues at MUFC that you fail to understand what is happening at other clubs. I've spent 15 years on this forum. I feel like I'm as well placed as any opposition fan to understand how bad it was under Ashley/Pardew etc. and I fully supported you in your revolts against the ownership. Do you think there's a chance that maybe the shoe is on the other foot, and maybe you don't know just how bad the Glazer ownership has been? Maybe we're both being ignorant? Anyway, I really don't want to continue this here. I know I can get carried away and derail threads when the discussion involves my club, and I genuinely hate doing that.

Kid Icarus Posted Tuesday at 07:57 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:57 (edited) 1 hour ago, Froggy said: There's no need to get into this again. There's enough material from respected columns for people to educate themselves on why The Glazers are much worse. I don't need to try and argue it with people who won't listen. We've listened tbf, it's just that everyone to a man disagrees. No one's forcing you to keep claiming they're worse than Ashley and people are always going to bite when you keep doing it. Your club could have still succeeded in spite of the Glazers, but mismanaged the huge funds for players it was given. We didn't even have those funds to mismanage in the first place, survival was the business model. That's what it boils down to and none of that is controversial like. You admitted yourself to not really knowing much about how Ashley ran the club. Edited Tuesday at 08:02 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted Tuesday at 08:08 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:08 Problem with kudus for me is that he is not a consistently good player, he is a "one-in-three" player i.e. has a good game every three... We need better than that. Mbuemo was a connsistent performer at the highest level for a mid table team, pity he went for the cash instead of the team on an upward spiral! I am sure there are as good players out there for similar moolah, so let´s give Eddie and the team a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a publicly listed company, their mistakes are for all to see in the financial statements, as well as your league position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than asking for some mythical “cheaper but better than Elanga” player “from the continent”. Ignoring the fact that 17 year old players from the Greek league are going for 40m too.

buzza Posted Tuesday at 08:19 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:19 Here are five alternative (and cheaper) wingers for the right hand side, all have pace, skill and are in the right age bracket: Karim Adeyemi (Borussia) Edon Zhegrova (Lille) Brennan Johnson (Spurs) Johan Bakayoko (PSV) Takefusa Kubo (Sociedad) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted Tuesday at 08:23 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:23 Club is very tight lipped when it comes to transfers and doesn’t tend to leak much (from the club side anyway). Combined with Man U and a few others being the leakiest clubs going it’s basically leading to many of our fans just filling in the blanks themselves and/or giving the impression of inaction. Basically every player and manager is on holiday at the moment. Folk just need to chill out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
