Mike Ashley

[Laidback Jack]

Best thing - the same Mags that criticised Ashley for being immoral, besmirching the good name of NUFC, treating the club with disdain....have been very very quiet about the backgrounds of their current owners....funny that isn't it.

Use SJP to advertise your business? Absolute scum
Murder people? Canny lads welcome aboard.

Hope he buys them. Hope it ends up successful.

Having just made a 70 million profit on a club he ran into the ground he probably thinks it’s easy to make money in football , buy Derby cheap now when they are on the brink of going bust , minimal spending on players etc but keep them ticking along and sell them for a profit in a few years will be his idea.

Ran into the ground? He sold you a consortium allowed to spend £250m this window. Speak to Bury or Oldham fans about owners running their clubs into the ground.

 

[Secret Visage]

Bought for 55, sold for 300. Made shitloads every year from Sky, free advertising for his businesses, very little other sponsorship, spent fuck all on the ground and other infrastructure. Absolute c*nt of a bloke. 2 relegations and content to aim for 17th every year with zero interest in the cups. Derby will seriously regret getting him involved.

You're all over the place here. It was circa £140 million purchase price then a further circa £70 million to shore up the debt that Hall and Shepherd had racked up. Interest bearing debt.

Some stretch there. Nobody criticised Ashley for purely advertising his business. But he did it at the cost of other advertising, if he’d re-invested income made from that advertising then fair enough.

Youse directly criticised him for Sports Direct advertising. Solely focusing on the brand and logo etc around the ground. Ultimately SD helped him run a profitable football club and keep youse in the black.

Even still though, not re-investing as much money as the fans would like....hardly worth the furore.

Whereas murdering people, being part of a corrupt regime...

Very quiet on morality now though the Newcastle fans i've noticed. Seemingly youse have dropped that particular viewpoint which has coincided with Ashley's departure.....what an almighty coincidence.

If he'd kept the external debt finance in place you'd have been no better off, broken brains.

Maybe, more evidence he’s not a good businessman. He’s a gambler, famously bought the club with little or no due diligence. His court case, which he lost, around Keegan’s constructive dismissal shows him to be a proper nasty c*nt. Tried to pay KK off with hush money but he didn’t play ball and the truth about his regime came out. Disinterested and trying to sell for 9 years. But yes, what ah great owner. Cockney bastard

So basically run the club efficiently?

If i was a Derby fan I would welcome Mike with open arms.
If there is a better business man on here i bow down to you.
in the last 2 years , when retail has been on its arse he has increased turnover and profit.

Saving struggling businesses and jobs the absolute bastard.

Should be ordering the mutilation and murder of journalists the cockney twat!

Maybe is the new investor rumoured to be interested in Sunderland?

Oooosh

 

[Zig81]

that’ll be the £320 billion

Here he is, the Peterlee freak! You still grassing people up and getting them banned you sad excuse for a man?

I bet your new owners have ruined you and your left wing views, how can you pretend to support a club when the owners stand for everything you’re against?

Notice pretend to support, you are a typical non attending gob shite sitting behind the safety of your keyboard in rented accommodation.

Made a profit because he was sensible, after saving you from financial crisis, but condemned because he didn’t spend hundreds of millions he didn’t have and employed people on zero hours contracts.

Heil murdering, pigs that spend money. Mag logic, right there

“Ran into the ground”

Fuck me he paid off the £240 million debt that Hall and Shepherd left your lot saddled with, kept you profitable to the point where any new owners can spunk as much as they like on players and still not breach FFP, and still you idiot mags don’t think he did a good job.

It’s going to be class watching the meltdowns when the Saudis get bored and sell up. Then you’ll see how “run into the ground” looks.

Shown himself up to be a sad hypocrite like. Gets laughed off the politics forum these days
