That must've been in the private room upstairs like. Can't imagine him getting no grief at all, 2am in the morning.

More bothered about how the story would appear to back up the notion Pardew's appointment was more about nepotism than his managerial ability.

"While Ashley gambled, he was drinking pints of lager brought to him at the table by bar staff. They were on the house because he's a high-roller."

 

:lol:

 

Don't you get free drinks when you're hoying quarters into the slots in vegas?

Never paid for anything in Vegas while playing roulette all week.

 

If you play long hours you get ticket to shows and so on...

My cousin used to go to a casino in Dublin for the free drink like :lol:

 

He would only ever gamble €20-30 but he would be there with a group of mates till 4/5am.

Supposedly lost 200k in spoof, worth a laugh ;)

 

He didn't lose just his 'own' money, it was company money [sD] hence it was shareholders' money albeit the other 49% involved. The game was played to settle a dispute with the investment bankers over outstanding legal fees incurred by Merrill Lynch during the SD floatation.

 

I'm sure Freshfields/Mort nearly had to play some hard-ball to get Ashley to cough up his outstanding legal fees relating to the NUFC takeover. Didn't Mort make a special trip to Tyneside for reasons related to his debt/fees owed to Freshfields.

 

Unless there's a concrete & legally binding clause ordering him to actually fill a debt [ie. *the stadium debt, following an ownership change, for instance] kicking & screaming it would appear the man has a recalcitrant attitude towards other service providers at the top end of town, where his retail empire is concerned. I've already posted one instance involving Umbro, when he attempted to welch on a contractual deal by refusing to take a delivery of a massive shipment of replica shirts, and thus not pay his outstanding bill.

 

As well as being an unambitiousn club owner, there is distinct lack of honour in his operational methods/practices.

 

 

*albeit he whinged about it for long enough, including misling the public over the legal specifics of the debt payback ie. the 'banks were banging on the doors' claim.

Perhaps you could enlighten us as to who the Investment Bank were?
