BigWalrus 0 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's pretty much a staright line relationship over a cfew years - the more you spnd the higher you finish - unless you go bust of course as 'peg says Ashley will hang on in the hope he'll get his cash back and sell to another deep pocketed idiot Looks anything but a straight line to me. Almost exponential growth in spending needed to get to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ticket prices, it's the total match day income over a season. I didn't take the time to format them properly so the 2 decimal places might mislead.

Modern football can be great at times but people like Ashley and the jokers at Cardiff and Hull are cancers of the game in my opinion, back in the day they said football violence was the cancer and they largely helped to eradicate it by taking full advantage of a tragedy and putting laws into place which meant surveillence was easier, control was easier but above all, the pay on the day punter wasn't going to find it as easy to get to games anymore, there would be no more congregations of mobs of fans who would be bolshy, the demographic of the football supporter was altered for at least a generation which was a result for a lot of people apart from those who it affected. Now jokers like Alan Pardew and Steve Bruce tell fans stuff like 'They'll have to get used to it' regarding historic name changes. No. No they don't have to do fucking anything, Bagpuss. I'd love it if their owner called Pat Butcher in his office and demanded he change his name to Tony Tiger to help the brand of Hull City. I'd be the first to tell Bruce he'll just have to accept it as it sounds Grrrreat!

"I said to those around me in a sarcastic voice" as the final whistle went. What a fucking wanker. That club just do not deserve most of those trophies that the Russian got for them. I bet the 13,000 who were at Stamford Bridge the saturday after we played them in the cup for a Premier League game would've snatched your fucking hand off for a UEFA cup win.

Howmanheyman 33163 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 One of Newcastle owner Mike Ashley's key businesses has suffered a blow after adidas has stopped retailer Sports Direct from selling Chelsea replica kit next season. The news, which has caused a major rift with the UK’s biggest sportswear retailer, Mike Ashley's Sports Direct after banning the retailer from selling the club’s replica football kit next season, comes as Sports Direct chief executive Dave Forsey refused to defend his company’s decision to employ 90 per cent of its staff on controversial zero-hours contracts. Forsey said adidas’s decision to only sell the kits elsewhere — thought to be the Chelsea shop at its stadium and adidas stores — was 'impossible to understand'. He added: 'We don’t believe with our football heritage that customers would be happy. We are still voicing our concerns to Adidas and Chelsea, telling them they are potentially alienating their supporters.' An adidas spokesman told MailOnline Sport: 'Like all manufacturers, we regularly review, season by season, where our products are distributed. 'We determine distribution channels for all products based on criteria such as in-store environment and customer service levels. 'This is normal business practice and adidas has done this before. This season, we’re implementing a new distribution strategy across Europe for key products in football and other sports. 'We’d like to point out that Sports Direct continues to be an important retailer for adidas and their customers still have the opportunity to buy a great range of adidas products in their stores.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2522636/Strip-storm-adidas-stops-Ashleys-Sports-Direct-selling-Chelsea-kit-season.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWalrus 0 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's not a good story for anyone concerned. The key bit is, "It is not known whether the woman had notified Sports Direct management of her pregnancy, or if any appropriate action was taken by the firm." If she's a bit of a heifer already and hasn't told anyone she was pregnant, wtf are the firm meant to do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
