There was no world record transfer.
He risked none of his own money to buy players to take us back up. He cashed in a number of players, gave some of the proceeds to Benitez to spend, and trousered the rest for himself.

Trousered the rest? Your club not have any running costs like? That’s why nobody takes you’s seriously
 


So let's get this right. Ashley has allowed rafa to spend a f***ing fortune while being there. However, he has also turned in a profit, while winning nothing

Guess it was better for the club when they were millions upon millions In debt year ago , while winning nothing.

Just make them pay anyway tbh.

Unless you have a tipping point in mind where the scroungers can get away without funding the company that employs them.

You have to stop generalising. I don't speak for everyone. I'm not a member of the Shepherd and Hall fan club. I'm also not a member of the anyone but Ashley club. There's no guarantee that if he does sell that the new owner wouldn't be just as bad.

As for the finances, accountants can dress the books up to look like you're potless. He's no mug, he will not of been operating the club at a loss.

Didn't he bail Newcastle out to the tune of £150million, or something? Few more sales requied by the sounds of things.

Define ‘bail out’ as a debt of £144m is still at the club.

Surely you would’ve been close to going under if he didn’t take you on? £140 million in the hole from the previous regime, sounds like you were more mismanaged than what you perceive Ashley to being doing now.

Is he buying us and not taking on the debt or not buying us at all?

Wasn’t that much at the time of his takeover. Two relegations under his watch have increased the figure to that.

He took the debt which means he paid off the debt and took it on him self. The club now owe him, what would have happened if hadn't done that?

As the owner of the club, he’d have been liable for the debt.

He’d have struggled to get credit insurance on his other businesses if he’d defaulted on such a significant debt.

The real culprits at NUFC is not Ashley, or their deluded supporters’ , but Hall and Shepherd.

Those 2 families fleeced millions out of that club yet the supporters still look at them as heroes. Bizarre.

Do the club pay Ashley interest on what they owe him?
