And still the MA defense continues...

 

 

Stupeedo on N.O.

 

"So someone who cornered themselves into a position where they had exhausted all available lines of credit and were forced into realising future cash flows immediately at a much discounted price...over someone who lost their OWN money plugging the holes created by said person.

 

Don't really think you can call shepherd a financial genius (in relation to Ashley), he had no idea of the world outside of NE1, Ashley has a poor footballing knowledge but at least got us onto a more stable footing." :razz:

 

 

If Assley stays for another 2 seasons and gets us into Division 4/whatever they are calling it today, just imagine how stable our footing will be!!! :lol::razz::rolleyes::D

Betandwin (Bwin) might be in the frame apparenty.

The latest to express an interest - would have thought they would be too late as we already have more than 2 100m offers on the table - oh aye it was nana fuckin mouskouri talking so it would have been shite - nee cunts interested and even if this lot were it would be four weeks of due diligence - why not just sell to shepherd and fuck off mike - take the hit, your a big lad and you will get over it, nee fucka else wants us so just admit it and fuck off

Interesting post:

 

"A guy I work with (never been one to talk s**** or claimed to be in ITK) has passed on some information that is not really new but may shed light on why everything has come to a standstill.

 

Apparently there have been 3 bids in excess of £100M, however Ashley would only trouser about half of that amount as the bids include paying outstanding transfer fees, undertaking the overdraft etc. Ashley isn't too keen on playing ball as he wants to gain £100M himself, meaning in reality he really wants about £150M.

 

Seymour Pierce have allegedly named the Asian Consortium as the preferred bidder, as they offer the best options in terms of stability and future investment, however they also offer Ashley a worse option in what he would gain in cash. Shepherd's consortium apparently offer the best deal for Ashley in relation to what he would gain, but only by about £10M, and would also leave Shepherd and Co to pay off some transfer fees. Interestingly, the Asians (No clarification was given whether or not these were Malaysian or not) also have a local businessman as part of their consortium, and he would likely be their figurehead if their bid came to fruition. They would almost certainly put Shearer in charge, and he would be given a modest transfer budget, but also be allowed to spend any incoming fees. The business plans of all 3 bids are based on promotion this season. Ashley believes he can force at least one of the group's hands to stump up a little extra cash, and has told Seymour Pierce this, who have advised him he's unlikely to be offered more than he already has, and to run with one of the 3 offers. He doesn't want to do business with Shepherd though, although it's looking increasingly likely that he might have to.

 

As I said only what I've been told, sounds quite plausible and was apparently from someone at Barclays"

 

Cookie crumbles and all that....

No idea if its true, but anything that suggests Ashley is fucking us about as much as possible to the very end sounds about right to me. And it is quite likely that what will be easilly the best deal for the club and its fans won't necesarilly be the best for Ashley so again that could be true.

Whatever's going on I hate Mike Ashley, imo he's a complete scumbag.

 

Just spotted this on N-O. From about 25 seconds in.

 

 

 

Typical isn't it, the only swearing in the whole film and it has to Ashley who says it.
