trooper 940 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The reality of the Brighton match is its almost a must win game, as we risk being cut adrift this weekend. In fact I've just realised even if we win against Brighton theres still a chance we could still be in the bottom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we seen last year these are confidence players, being in OCTOBER without a win must have morale pretty low (As much as we are told it isn't). It is a must win for me.

Rayvin 5223 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Suppose we can infer from this that the advertising he gets must be worth it, or he wouldn't be wasting money buying another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 True but then I think it's fair to say his ambitions for our club have changed from those he had when he took over. He's making the best of it with us maybe but must still associate some value with the advertising. In fact, this could be a useful comparative test. If their stadium fills up with SD logos then that's clearly what he's in it for with us. If it doesn't, and he sells the commercial space to other businesses, then maybe we overstate the importance of the advertising. Not that I particularly care anymore, my brain is just wired right now from political discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 A group of Saudi Arabian investors are the latest interested party, but no contact has been made with Ashley's camp https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/11528068/mike-ashley-yet-to-receive-acceptable-offer-to-sell-newcastle Ah, good old Saudi investors.
