Back in the summer of 2007 Mike Ashley came with 5 year plan, that plan was to turn this club around and take us back into Europe on the field while turning our huge loss making into a self sustaining football club off the field.
With this being his 5th season his plan looks like coming to fruition, the club have predicted that we will break even next year without player trading and we can all see the drive to get this club back where it belongs and that is playing European football, unfortunately it had to get worse before it could get better as the scale of the turnaround operation was so vast however we're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
We have a hungry manager as well as a fantastic scouting network for him to work with, in fact a quick look at the squad from 2006/07 shows how much better we're now compared to when he took charge, I'd say only Milner and possibly Given from that current set up would get into our starting 11 now which shows the strength of the building job that has gone on here and with the clubs finances finally falling into place in time for the financial fair play rules the future can only be bright.
So all aboard Mike Ashley's European express!!!

haha, where has this tosspot been hiding. This is a bloke who said he hadn't even seen NUFC play 100 times by the age of 27, endorsed the "Director of football" system set up by Spurs that was ditched by Redknapp, and comes from Bristol
As for the last sentence, if we qualify for the Champions League under Mike Ashleys ownership, say within 2 years [thats one year longer than his "plan"] I'll leave this forum on the condition that our little lad Matthew does the same and fucks off for good.
