Sorry but I have to disagree with pretty much everything you've said.
Charnley is nothing but a puppet, the fuckwit you put in the storefront so you, the dodgy owner don't have to deal with the customer at the front counter. Ashley makes all the decisions probably down to even the type of tea and toilet paper he allows Penfold to buy.
Ashley knows exactly what he wants from the club, he's asset stripping everything from it that he can and what he cannot sell/separate off, St James he's using it as a big billboard for his shitty sports store - that gets beamed around the world every second week for 9 months a year.
He knows exactly what he's doing with PR and his "media mates."
It's all about spin, I have no doubt he even knew of the "unknown debt" when he bought the club and has since hung it over everyone's head ever since.
Fuck he tried almost the exact same thing at Rangers, the only difference was he wasn't ever able to wrestle 100% control of the club away from the fans and board members.
He's not interested in growth for NUFC, it's all about status quo and as you would know when things are shaky he chucks what he thinks is just enough money at the club to survive.
Rayvin, you may think the rich, self made men you know are incompetent but I'd hazard a guess they're not as incompetent as you think, FFS Donald Trump is president of the biggest capitalist country in the world, again another twat, seemingly brainless but shrewd, cunning, deceitful and conniving. And have you seen who is most likely going to be England's next PM.
