The Fish 415 Report post Posted June 12, 2017 More likely to be Carson Yeung than anything else imo. At least we know what to expect with Ashley now, the new owner could decide to try and foist players on Benitez, or get rid of him altogether. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dynamite 634 Report post Posted June 12, 2017 He would need £260mil to break even. But the club is now pulling in £100mil of tv money a year and Ashley will need an incentive to sell so I'd imagine he's looking for £300mil+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anorthernsoul 647 Report post Posted June 12, 2017 Seems quite convenient that this has clearly been leaked by the club and it's coming up to the final season ticket renewal stage, don't you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
