In football everything went downhill when they banned square goal posts imho.

A decent running of the club would have prevented both relegations and therefore any emergency loans had been futile. The club actually paid double for the total mismanagement tbh.

It’s a typical statement in line with the attempt to prove why decent cup runs are not good for a club. I doubt any players would reject a club because of the facilities anyway but the point is that decent facilities and a visible demonstration of a clubs ambition could persuade reluctant players to sign for a club.

I agree. But if you consider the length of Ashley‘s tenure, the fact he changed the stadium name for a considerable time and the amount of advertising not only in the stadium but also on sold clothes and the commercial rights going along with running the club shop I do think that the the lost income could have paid for a good part of the debt or been invested in the playing staff and the facilities. So far the free advertising only paid of for sports direct and it is criminal to me that the exploitation of the club hasn’t been given the fair amount of criticism so far whenever the benevolent nature of Ashley‘s handling of the club has been raised by his stooges in the media.

Still better than to waste money on stupid things like good players, a good manager and needless luxuries like sufficient training facilities.

Mathematically safe. Next season will probably be even better and we might be safe with four games to go.

Hooray, almost theoretically safe with three games to play. What a belter of a season. Fanks Mike.

Or as Charnley would say. Have we lost a game because fans are not bothered anymore? No.

Spoiled because it’s such a good season and with all the good times to look forward to.

I said it before and will say it again: Charnley is the biggest charlatan of all of them. For someone who should know from own experience what the club was like before Ashley his blind obedience to the fat cunt is treasonous.

After the demands he made today it’s pretty certain that Ashley rather appoints Joe Kinnear than giving Rafa a positive answer.

The question crops up every now and then and was also directed at the club at meetings of the fans forum iirc, but the club has never been bothered or been willing to answer it. But as with protests the club is succeeding in just letting everything fade out.
