trooper 940 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 When the day comes for Ashley and his croanies fuck off and sell up what type of ownership would you prefer ? 1.) A rich oil sheik to throw money at the club. 2.) A local consortium to keep the club stabilised listen to the fans but not have the funds of an oil sheik. 3.) Something in between My choice would be 2 because this club needs to be run by people who understand what this club means to the fans and the region we dont have to be the richest club or have the biggest ground or to have the piss took out of us by someonewho doesnt give a flying fuck as long as your spending your money.I dont go to the ground anymore but watch the matches via the internet there's not many happy faces at the ground at the minute it's like the life is getting sucked out of the club. Some of you will be going for Steve Harper's testimonial game this week,his team are the legends they're what made this club great they didn't win any F.A cups or Premier League titles (not for the want of trying) but they put smiles on faces gave you something to talk about before and after the game and im pretty sure most of them would roll their sleeves up and help out if a local consortium bought the club it's time St James Park was a happy place again unfortunatley at the minute people are laughing at the club we all deserve a club run better than it is now.I'll probably get hammered for this but its how i feel at the minute.

The Fish 8980 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oil rich and, like the city fans now, I wouldn't give a fuck if people said we bought success. I'd happily dry my tears on the 3rd FA cup final ticket of the past 3 years. Local business consortia are unlikely to change our fortunes at all. While we may enjoy a better relationship with them, it doesn't matter. Not one of us would care about the Sports Direct branding if Ashley had masterminded a league title win.

Gejon 2 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) I'd like us to be run like Spurs Not spending ludicrous sums that you haven't generated yourself but ambitious enough to get in quality players, a quality manager and make a good, honest go and trying to achieve things rather than settling for mediocrity or buying the league. Can't believe I am jealous of Spurs Edited September 9, 2013 by Gejon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odin 0 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 A russian billionaire.. they'd get the club far more than any rich Arab, they should stick to the horse racing! Or Bill Gates, but then all the pre match tactics would be done on windows 8 tablets and nobody would know what the fuck what going on. Although saying that, if we weren't doing well our new team of lawyers would find a way of us being awarded the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odin 0 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Pardew? He'd be next out the door after Ashley. I'd keep Kinnear on the payrole, he could scrub the bogs.. i'd pay rolls royce wages to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Someone who has the money to buy the club outright and invest in the squad. Not asking for £30-£40M players or trophy signings just players to take the club forward. If Ashley had signed Gomis and Ince or Sinclair most people would have been happy with our summer business but for the sake of £15m, which is small change compared to increased revenue this season, he's pissed off the fans and no doubt the players and manager too. So a new owner who invests sensibly or sells a player for big money then reinvests in the squad rather than trying to do it on the cheap. As another poster said the Spurs model is working although not many players sell for £80M and I don't think they would have signed the players they did without that. Ashley has the money and business savvy it's just a pity he doesn't have the desire to compete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It's probably a pipe dream to get rid of Ashley. I don't think he'll be happy until he's done fucking us and for some reason I don't feel we're anywhere near the money shot yet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
