Mike Ashley -- Irrelevant Cunt


Christmas Tree

Recommended Posts

I'm far from optimistic about a takeover now.  The anti-ashley campaign needs to go into overdrive now. He's the only cunt in the bottom half of the table not interested in trying to improve the squad or retain the manager.

When do we reach the stage of hoping for another relegation, just to stick it to him?  The trouble is, this time we won't be coming back any time soon.

A few years ago.

"Ketch" whoever that is, has summed up my feelings on this pretty well in the replies.

 

 

It really is, even if you try to leave the shitty owner stuff behind on a match day, they still do their best to make it shit for fans.

Mind, if Ashley stays and Rafa goes (as seems likely) anyone subsequently buying a season ticket has little cause for complaint about being treated like shit

Same as the pricks moaning about the government being incompetent over the Brexit shit despite voting out.

Because we're the footballing wing of Sports Direct and they don't give a fuck about anyone either

Sources close to the deal have suggested that there has been dialogue in the first few days of the new year, but the satisfactory offer Ashley is looking for is yet to land on the table.

That said, Ashley is believed to have granted the groups their request for more time to get their bids in place and, as it stands, he has not shut the door on any of the four parties involved.

The door remains open until the window is shut.

Aye it's all a pile of shite. No wonder Rafa says "he doesn't talk about transfers or a takeover" because he knows there's nothing there & he's been done over again. I just wish he'd come out & say it maybe the penny would then drop for the majority of match goers.

I believe that Kenyon wants to buy, I can believe his team penned that letter and I think Ashley would sell for the right price.

 

Trouble is Ashley's "right price" is nonsense, Kenyon is not stupid enough to get fucked over by Ashley in negotiations and by the time it's resolved one way or another, the January window will be closed.

Kenyon has confirmed that his interest is real and ongoing.

Ha ha ha 2 weeks ago he was £100 million shy of Ashleys asking price. Even if he's managed to get that (I doubt it ) were's the money for new players, training facilities & giving SJP a make over ?

“Letter” from Kenyon to MA leaked to gross Ashley-a-like Martin Samuel of the Daily Mail, no doubt Bishops idea....” This will keep the plebs quiet for another couple of weeks, then you can bring in your anonymous Ivorian left back from Sion &  the part time window cleaner from Forfar Athletic who can play up front or on the wing. Job done till the summer Mike. Invoice to the usual address?” 

 

 

We begin at the end, and one of those awkward questions designed to wrap up the unwrappable. If you had to boil down the present state of Newcastle United into a single word, what would it be? Alex Hurst pauses for a moment. “Sad,” he says, “because it’s so unnecessary.” Chris Betts agrees. “Sad,” he says. “Desperate. Petrified of the worst-case scenario.”

For the previous hour, we have been sitting in The Forth, one of Newcastle’s great bars, down the hill from St James’ Park, attempting to unpick a beautiful, baffling club who, not for the first time, teeter on a cliff edge. This is a difficult story to tell — a shape-shifting sort of crisis — so consider this pint, this chat, a public service. Or maybe it is just catharsis.

Empathy has been difficult to summon from supporters beyond Tyneside, in part because, on the face of it, Newcastle are blessed — mid-table in the richest, brassiest division in the world, a fine manager, a full stadium — and in part because they remain the subject of grotesque stereotype. Geordies? Malcontent horse-punchers with inflated expectations.
