Exactly.

Someone needs to explain this argument that we were more fucked under FS.

Dark Knight brreaks cover. Rook to Bishop b6.

It's the invisible ones I'm worried about.

Revealing the asking price to the world is somewhat of a clanger methinks.

Agreed it's a weird and maybe deadly mix of reluctant owner, fickle/non-existent or low bid buyers/lack of management direction.

I've had a feeling for the last 4 or so days something is going on. What with all the claims and counter-claims, the sale of Martins for me was a sign that things are starting to move. Some of the recent hoop-la has been weird ie asking for offers via the club site (e mail). This at the time reeked of desperation/panic, but imo actually means that Ashley really does want out. The other theory that holds some water is that all the smoke and mirrors have been generated to keep MA out of the firing line for the whole of the summer only for 'service as normal' to resume a week or so before the first match, but if this really was the case I think we would have sold more players by now.

Rob Van Winkle tbh.

He'll put the club into administration before he accepts that. Gemmill is right. The to an interested party is £200m but Ashley has structured the finances so that the price tag is only £100m. The 'club' effectively doesn't owe anything at the moment as he owns it. However as soon as he flogs it, he'll be owed an extra £100m and you can guarantee he'll be more of a cunt than any loan shark from your worst nightmare. We're fucked basically. £200m for a championship club? And not a very good one at that! No way he can add his 100m. Doesn't make sense. Why not? Newcastle United Football Club are in debt to Michael Ashley to the sum of £100m. So long as he owns the football club this is a negligable amount as it's his own interest that the money is invested. The football club still retains a value outside of this loan amount which he's listed as £100m. So if someone buys the club for £100m, it is still in debt to Mike Ashley to the tune of £100m. Are you seriously telling me he'll forget about this? Particularly as he's haemorraged half his fortune and is now reported to be only worth £700m? Nobody will pay 200m for the club. You've got a brain inside that thick skull of yours after all... Fuck me 31st of May!

Not sure a killing blow with water would bother her much.

I wish they'd stop dic ing around.

...that when I was drunk last night I asked him if he had a large axe I could borrow? Sick of watching Mrs P stroke her MacBook Pro the dopey bitch.

I seriously can't believe there's no interested parties. Whether there are any willing to pay anything like what Ashley is after is another matter. I was talking about this yesterday and I've come to the conclusion he doesn't even want to sell, it's a smokescreen to spend sweet fuck all this window and he's learnt nothing from last season and believes he can get the club promoted on the cheap (in terms of players and management). Ashley has re-written the dimbo textbook. I'm wondering if the bloke can count. Deffinately not as well as this guy

except for the fact he was FIRST you mean............... After that it was just a matter of technique and planning TBH Aye, it was that simple. Flight plan written on the back of a postage stamp, wasn't it? Cue cards tbh.

The thing is people are so somatised these days it really is a scenario of what they won't accept (almost nothing)...I was talking to a 28yr old girl last night and she was banging on about being a veggie or something...I often have to tune out for sustained periods or drink fast.

I know man, people are seriously useless...

Will be missed. Big heart. Good soul.

You could claim diminished responsibility. In which case I'd opt for a radgee Vinnie Jones type frenzied attack, biting off his nose in the course of. Or maybe his ear if he's got a cold. Tyson the fucker!

His fingers are falling off.

You could claim diminished responsibility.

it certainly looks that way NUFC is a huge draw to potential investors, but thanks to Fat Freddy the books are fucking appaling and people are walking away FS was only doing (badly) what other PL clubs were doing...Going into debt to build stadia and acquire players. He's not the anti-christ.

Take your boring well run clubs and fuck yourselves.
