Christmas Tree

Surely it's effectively 'free' either way though. The point being he is the CEO of SD and will be paid a wage and bonus based on performance. It is a plc with shareholders. NUFC however is 100% his and therefore in theory, any profit after tax can go straight into his bank account. No one at SD could argue that there is no value is the advertising they are getting so it would seem sensible for him to set up a payment from SD to NUFC. It is so much in his interest to do it, I can't see any reason / benefit why he wouldn't. what, you can’t see any reason for him to benefit his beloved SD at the expense of NUFC’s sponsorship revenues? — blimey! No, the point is why dig into his personal fortune to put the odd £20 million into NUFC when he could charge SD £20 million instead and not really effect his salary there or the share price etc. Maybe there is a reason, Im just not sure what it is.

What was this then? Aye, pure paper selling. Just rehashed shite. Fear not, I took it upon myself to berate him on twitter.

Surely it would be in Mike Ashleys interest to pay NUFC (himself) sponsorship money from Sports Direct (plc). I cant see why NUFC MA would give it free to SD MA. Doesnt make sense?

And he's just scored in Holland

Get me in the mood for camping this weekend.

Then again, I suppose Im derailing my own trial thread Kangeroo courts are so much easier...... Should have posted it in the secret forum.

Just one or two fucking examples ffs I've even given you a full three week time slot.

The bow tie?

And CT, while Stevie agrees with your point about Enrique, he basically states he thinks that you're a WUM. Which is basically what's at the heart of the OP rather than the isolated opinion you express in the Enrique thread. It's not about opinions, it's about motives for expressing those opinions. And the reason you're getting flack is because people suspect your motives (ie you're on a wind up). Tbf, the way you overlook Ashley's track record of dishonesty and swallow the club line verbatim each time, the only conclusion is that you're a wum or a simpleton. You basically provide the other end of the spectrum to Leazes. And people have stopped posting to him too for broadly similar reasons. Im sorry like, but this is the usual scenario on here. I give a genuine opinion on something, the lynch mob come out, others agree, the lynch mob depart. And then people trot out crap like "motives / on the wind up" when its usually just a genuine opinion that others also share. Then we have the "swallow the club line verbatim each time" which again as in this instance is bollocks as my Enrique remarks where all about the player and as far as Im aware, the club havent issued any "line". (I thought you were a legal eagle. ). Then theres the old Ashley sympathiser line. That basically boils down to one extreme that hopes he burns in hell regardless of whatever happens at NUFC. Theres another side that wishes we had Shepherd with Ashleys money but as that isnt the case, understand that having a financial solid base is not only needed today, but could stand us in good stead going forward. Again I am in pretty good poster company on that argument. We have the "he derails / spoils every thread" line. Again bollocks. I add an opinion like I did last night and all hell kicks off. Not my fault if people over react to a very legitimate opinion. I challenge anyone to go and list a few threads from the last week / fortnight that I have ruined by wummery. I'll wait. I mean, if its stopping grown men from posting there must be hundreds. I mean if Im like Leazes there must be at least 20 or so a week. I would be suprised if theres one. I rest my case.... Innocent til proven guilty...... The thing is, if your opinions are offered genuinely, then that points down the simpleton route, as there are plenty of occasions where they have been shown to be contradictory. The fact that you don't see the contradiction and put forward conflicting statements can be just as grating as if you were a wum. I'm happy to accept the point that you're an optimist, so you are going to actively look for a positive angle on things, but to be so wildly optimistic as you come across in the context of the Ashley saga basically requires a suspension of your critical faculties. Whatever you say above, you do regurgitate the club line more than anyone. I'm the last person to go on the sort of 'Ashley apologist' witch hunts that you see on here so I don't accept you trying to reduce my point to that, but as a simple matter of fact, without using that sort of emotive language, typically you are inclined to wilfully believe whatever line the club trots out. It basically is just Leazes but from the other end of the spectrum. A complete suspension of critical faculties while you pursue your agenda. Be that as a wum or a totally delusional optimist-cum-simpleton. So in a nutshell you couldnt find one ruined thread by me, not one. Perhaps Ketsbaia or Gemmil or Renton etc will list some of those ruined threads from the last few weeks, it must be easy if Im like Leazes. Doubt they will though..... It''d be easier to find a thread which hasn't been ruined by your participation. The point where I finally started censoring your posts, with the exception of this thread which is specifically about you, was when you claimed, with your great insightful knowledge as a taxi driver, that no-one you know has been affected by the government cuts. This coming just days after I effectively lost my job because of them. Of course it was then pointed out that another poster (sorry, forget who, trophyshy?) and his girlfriend had lost his job and you actually knew all about this. Two things I'd like to point out at this point. I'm not being party political here as it could just as well hppaened under Labour, and I'm not saying that things won't actually work out for me or the other poster and his g/f. But basically it just showed you up to a massive cunt. I can just about be Ok with your cretinous opinions and lack of knowledge, but I simply can't abide a person from the North East who has no empathy for other people regarding these types of matters. I think one of your first posts on here was you bragging about earning £70,000 per year as a taxi driver. Remember that? Just about sums you up. Same challenge to you.....last three weeks or so... go get one.. put up or shut up.

As I thought, not one

Go on, be a man. There must be loads of examples from the last fortnight......"It unreadable" man ......."Its....its....its infected". "Its not hysterical either".... :blush: Go on, you've had a good rant today, lets see you grow a pair and go and link the unreadable, infected bits from say the last three weeks..... Man or mouse time.
