Ketsbaia 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Now's the time to pick a side. Which of the cunts would you rather have? The gobshite who showed a tonne of ambition but almost drove the club to financial ruin or the mute who has the finances in check but would rather count his money that spend it so we avoid the drop? Place yer bets now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asprilla 96 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Of the 2, Ashley. It pains me to say it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besty 4 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ashley, just for the fact he's trying to sort the wage bill out and isn't running the club into masses of debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm on the fence. Would you rather have your plums gnawed off by a giant rat or your eyeballs gouged out with a screwdriver? It's really that sort of question...... On the assumption we weren't going to "do a Leeds", I'd rather have Shepherd because the club was a more interesting place.

bawan 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Freddy, atleast he was spending the money and not fucking counting it. Ashley came in with bags of ambition but has tried to run our football team like a sports retail store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteroidblitz 12 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If Freddie hadn't squandered so much, then we wouldn't have needed Ashley. If Ashley hadn't have come in at the time, then who knows how much poo we'd be in. However, it would have been nice if Freddie and the Halls could've held on for a while until Abu Dhabi United came sniffing around the FAPL. Hindsight, and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6793 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Are we actually certain NUFC were on the brink of financial collapse or was that just another CAshley lie? Freddy for me. At least when he was in charge we used to get a buzz watching the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 10032 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Ashley without a doubt (lesser of two evils to an extent) Shepherd created this mess and there's no way (IMO) he could have got us out of it in the current financial climate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much my thoughts. Flying by the seat of your pants is more exciting than pouring over the books. And I don't think we would have "done a Leeds".

Guest alex Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Leeds 'did a Leeds' because they went down, more than anything. When have we been in more danger of being relegated, in recent times? Not since we last won promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackies the Lad 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'd have to say Shepherd, show me which of the major clubs that do not have debt, and then ask their position in their respective league. Under Ashley all we have done is move the debt and in a crisis who do you think he'll support, Ashley of course. If it comes to a final countdown and he has to make choices he will always back his first instincts, and where he made that money. NUFC is his expensive plaything, his retailing empire is where he has made his money. Whilst Shepherd is not the ideal I also hate that smug smile that emanates from Llambias. I also hate the fact that we have a poisoned little dwarf with vast amounts of influence on our club. So for these reasons Shepherd wins my vote, hands down.

Aye, but their money problems effectively consigned them to relegation as they had to start selling players and bring in shite to replace it. I do like the fact we're in some way cupable for the state Leeds are in now as we beat them to fourth place in 01/02 thus starting their financial troubles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
