Is there any proof that Ashley didn't allow any business in January?

Well, hard proof would be nigh on impossible to provide and I'm sure that tiny chink will be exploited by nefarious Sunderland fans, but it's fair to say the following;

Benitez wanted to make signings
Ashley and his cronies are the men that complete signings
Newcastle made no signings
Benitez was angry that no signings were made.


So had Benitez been permitted to make signings with the money accrued in the Summer window, he would have made signings. No signings were made, therefore Ashley and his cronies didn't sign off on the transfer, thus not permitting them to happen.

Hardly a leap of logic.

So, just your view and no proof or quotes from Benitez or Ashley?

You certainly are "knocking them oot the park" mind.

:lol:

How depressingly predictable.

I've seen pages, upon pages of unsubstantiated horseshit stated as fact from your fellow Sunderland fans, will you hold them to task too or are you a massive hypocrite?

I'm not talking about any other posters, just yourself, passing opinion off as fact and using said opinion "to have a laugh at the usual suspects' expense" mate.

Fair points also could be possible that players were lined up and you wouldn't/couldn't pay the wages or even possible that the club couldn't attract players for one reason or another............bit like us at the minute.

Bottom line is clubs struggle to sign/attract players for a variety of reasons BUT managers are ALWAYS unhappy if they can't get players in/deals over the line and whilst there is often a big difference of opinion in how good your current manager is I'm of the opinion he is an attractive proposition for a lot of clubs therefore the failure to move forward as he wants has to be a concern although I do accept the point that he could have jumped whilst still in the championship so why would he do it now in the Premier, (doubt he fancies another relegation on his CV mind)

You've taken time out of your day to hold 1 person to account for an occasion of perceived misbehaviour, but won't hold others accountable for the same misbehaviour. You aren't holding me to account because of my misbehaviour, you're holding me to account because of the team I support.
 
For the second season in a row, Huddersfield are bucking the trend

One or two of the ten players they have signed are OK, and the others may be?

I think you're attributing far more fucks than 99.9% of Sunderland fans could give about your squad, your manager, and your chairmen's influence over both, being honest.

Also, questionable use of the word 'nefarious...'

I'm not holding you to account at all, I was asking a question, a question you couldn't answer so, labelled me a hypocrite, despite providing zero evidence I have done what you are presently doing i.e.being hypocritical.
I was also asking the question due to your pompous stance and your claim to be having a laugh at the expense of others.
