I think you're being a bit generous, tbh. Also the man city wording wouldn't have been accidental. Every fuck up on his watch gets billed to the club through a loan to be payed from a future buyer except the bill's too high and in the meantime he just rolls along getting his exposure which ultimately is why he paid Hall in the first place. His interview is a typical Ashley PR bit of bollocks designed to convince neutrals that he's not all bad. We missed out on the PL money because of his operational ineptitude got us relegated, (again!) and we're stuck with shit, (again!), because he rarely gets any 1st choice players and gives them long contracts to sign for us and as a bargaining chip if they come good, trouble is you're stuck with the fuckers when they turn out to be shit/injury prone etc. He's a fucking chancer constantly belittling the club. 'We're Newcastle United' said as if were fucking Oldham Athletic. I was fucking raging after trying to ignore all the negative stuff this close season. That's the FCB for you.
