As far as I can see Ashley has lost a bloody fortune at SJP and Barclay's want to make sure that Moat doesn't do the same with their dosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Tbf, if Ashley does sell in the next few weeks, which is a big 'if' imo, he will be losing a fortune in the process. Only got himself to blame though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see Ashley has lost a bloody fortune at SJP and Barclay's want to make sure that Moat doesn't do the same with their dosh You say this but I actually wonder how much he's actually put in to the club, I mean after gates and players sales. I know they say the club was originally bought for £134m but after that there's nothing really solid, certainly there doesn't seem to be and hard evidence of debts being cleared that I've seen (that could just be to a lack of looking though). If the amount of money he's made was put next to the cost I wonder what the final figure would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Based on experience, I work on the assumption that he'll do the opposite of what he says he'll do. He's definitely going to keep hold of us and hope to recoup some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Good article. Pretty amused by the user comments about Shearer being no manager/a shit manager, but who then seem fine with Hughton keeping the reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Almost half of the people on here who voted want Hughton as manager. With such short sightedness, you wonder if many fans deserve what they get by being so myopic. Or are just fucking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With such short sightedness, you wonder if many fans deserve what they get by being so myopic. Or are just fucking stupid. Not quite, the alternatives in the poll were JFK, David O'Leary or the rather ambiguous 'anyone else' which isn't the same as wanting Hughton. It's just saying you might as well stick with him given the alternatives being bandied about. If you were as clever as you seem to think you are I wouldn't have had to point that out.

With such short sightedness, you wonder if many fans deserve what they get by being so myopic. Or are just fucking stupid. Hughton is a strong enough manager for the Championship. When the alternatives are JFK or O'Leary (he actually turned us down didn't he?) who you gonna have? I wonder if many fans deserve what they get, being so delusional.

manctoon 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 He's definitely going to keep hold of us and hope to recoup some more. Agreed. And, in a twisted way, it might be a good thing: If Moat comes in, it will have mean we will have sold three players at least to make it possible, resulting in a dodgy season. If Ashley stays, it will mean we don't necessarily have to sell anyone before Monday. And let's not forget, loan deals and the signing of free agents can be done until September 8. I honestly think we can bring in five or six players then that will add much-needed depth to our squad. Best case scenario - Ashley stays, we go up, then he sells and we're on a level footing. Worst case - We sell more players, Moat comes in, we go down....God knows. I really don't know anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my mind it's hard to imagine anyone more incompetent and disastrous for the club than Ashley. Even appointing a half decent manager would make a difference. If Ashley stays, you just know he's going to fuck up every big decision he has to make, starting with the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 not asset-stripping. Ashley has lost big money with Newcastle, imo. Everything Ashley's put into the club is as a loan. He's not lost anything until he sells and writes off that money....which I don't think he'll do....or ever had any intention of doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
