Howmanheyman 33129 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 As would we all but it's nothing to get excited about. As a supporter of the club I'd say it's something to be concerned about especially with cry arses at NUFC claiming to be hard up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30559 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If it's 100k pa then it's not worth bothering about, if it's £10m pa then obviously it is. I reckon we're talking about amounts at the lower end of the scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33129 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Why is it not worth bothering with? Shepherd rightly got stick for charging stuff to NUFC like warehouses that weren't needed (certainly at the price charged), why the fuck should this bloke get off with a shrug of the shoulders? This is the club who shut down parts of the ground to save money, the club that add a £1 for every away ticket, a club that switched off the escalators in their prestige entrance to save money, the club where Directors of football, (well that's his title, anyway), write (allegedly himself) that we can't compete with Spurs we're that poor, the Manager says our pockets are empty, our last Chairman said we have to wipe our own nose. Why are we giving away free advertising then? What if every advertising space, if truly unsold (Whey aye!) not go to something like the Sir Bob foundation? This bloke hasn't earned any trust or goodwill whatsoever to give him the benefit of any doubt for me. You and some others might not think it's worth the bother, I and others do. Might as well leave at that, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well leave at that, to be honest. It's not worth worrying about because: i. Worrying about it or protesting about it will change nothing. ii. I don't think that it really has had a massive impact on our transfer budget. We have plenty of excess cash due to the new TV deal and the club had no plans to spend big, the value of the SD advertising is a drop in the ocean compared to that. iii. Of all the cuntish things that Ashley has done it's pretty far down the list in terms of importance. Changing the team's colours to red and blue is pretty much the only thing he could do now that would really surprise me. It's at the point where I'm simply 'thankful' that he hasn't taken money out of the club in the form of his loan. My expectations of Mike Ashley and the club in general while he owns us have been successfully lowered. Edited October 25, 2013 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Good post Hman. Over time we will have our victory and the long road in its coming will make it all that sweeter. Edited October 25, 2013 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30559 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It won't be a victory, he won't be dragged down the street by a mob of angry fans. He'll go on his own terms when it suits him. Aside from a complete boycott I don't see how fans can put pressure on him and even in that situation I think he'd be spiteful enough to say fuck it and sell anyone worth selling and replacing them with League 1 players.

ewerk 30559 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Aye, you're right. he took £11m back. I was thinking of the £18m he was due to take back last year but didn't. My basic point is that the SD advertising doesn't register when it comes to the cuntish things he has done over the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I thought he was going to take £18m out this year too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1244 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Didn't they say that wasn't happening now? Mind you he said he wouldn't sell his shares in SD for at least a year and then did eight months later. Nice to see he doesn't just lie about us!

ewerk 30559 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yeah, the £18m wasn't paid. When you've already cashed in over £200m over shares you'd wonder what would motivate him to take back £18m for a club that apparently can't afford to buy a player.

donaldstott 0 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The shopping experience in SD is like the flying experience with Ryanair. Space is maximised, you feel like the staff have no time for you and that you are constantly being upsold. No I do not want an enormous bag for 70p, even if it does comes your free magazine.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I went to Fire Warden training with the Fire Brigade who told us Sports Direct are constantly fined for the amount of flammable shite they pile on the shop floor. They said when you put together that type of material with the lack of space in getting around it's a fire tragedy waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
