Douggy B 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 The similarities are striking Both bought aclubs with massive debt and paid that debt down. Both bought clubs that had no other interest in them at the time. Both parted ways with popular managers in their tenure. Both (eventually) will sell on a more attractive package to a third party. Both clubs will be better off than when they joined. You could have gone to the wall waiting for a shiek or consortium to come along. Ashley bridging that gap could have saved your club. Fat lot of good it has done him. Thaksin gets treated like a King, Ashley has members of his family threatened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley said in a statement his family had received threats. Ashley said he had been advised that he and his family should not attend games for their own safety, however the police have denied issuing any such advice so chances are he was talking complete bollocks, so I can see why you're such a fan of him.

Unfortunately you've fallen into the same trap as Joe Kinnear and only read the headline. Nice try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 896 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Saved us so well that we're 19th, propped up only by your even sadder excuse for a club, and we've lost the best manager we've had since Robson, confidence is shot, we're stuck with a poison dwarf, a smirking rat bastard of a chairman, cronyism is rampant, we made shit signings and the squad arguably went backwards since last year. Saved us. Poor wind-up attempt. 3/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 That vs a Leeds scenario. Yes saved you, FACT. We were in an unsustainable financial position (over the long-term), but nothing like a Leeds one, just operating more moderately would solved the problem eventually. We do have the potential to "do a Leeds" now though, although for quite different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me guess, you read that Ashley said unless he came in the club would sink (a claim dismissed by the previous owners), yeah, because everything MA said was true wasn't it I remember looking at your accounts a few years back under Shepherd. You gearing was terminal and you were carrying a mountainous overdraft that could have been called in at any time. Anybody who knows about finance knows that debt should be manageable and structured. Having a Overdraft at 17% rather than a loan at 5% tells me that the markets were no longer willing to lend to NUFC as a long term concern. I doubt many of you understand the above but in short it was a recipe for disaster. Edited October 3, 2008 by Danny B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
