TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) He's bought HOF to place some of the failed brands that he's raped in SD over the years into and try and give them some kind of credibility back by being in a more upmarket store, and then slapped a SD 70% off tag on them. This can't have been the plan. It can't have been When was the last time he made a sound business decision? It appears to me that he fluked getting obscenely rich and it's provided him enough of a cushion to be able to bounce from disaster to disaster and still survive. That time he lost hundreds of millions betting on the stock market https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/2786869/Mike-Ashley-scores-own-goal-with-HBOS.html Edited September 26, 2018 by TheGingerQuiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30598 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 ‘Ashley generation’. FFS, there’s teenagers walking round who’ve known nothing but him running the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I know they’ll have been told too but honestly which bloke from Newcastle is that much of a jobsworth to actually go over and take that down? I’d just say I couldn’t get to the front as people stopped me or some bollocks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sch00lraider 999997 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 To me, honesty is not trying to screw a club out of £25mil just to clear your name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Is Ashley not making the sports brands he's bought unfashionable ( correct me if I'm wrong in thinking he owns these companies ...Slazenger,Lonsdale,Karrimore).

trooper 940 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 He laughed at everyone in the ground yesterday he doesn't give a flying fuck it's time to start staying out of the ground. Obviously your never going to get everyone out, but he's a bastard he needs that smile wiped off his face. It's time to step up & boycott the Brighton game fuck him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21614 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Fwiw, the "you fat bastard" song yesterday was the loudest yet. Talk of boycotts is easy from non-paying fans. It'll make Fuck all difference anyway. Mike the cunt Ashley will sell when he wants, and we really can't change this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it’s not the TV money is so vast now I can’t see the cunt being arsed. The focus should be more on his trampy shops iyam, I agree it’s basically impossible for the fans to force his hand but disruption to his company would at least mean pressure from an already pissed off board.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Unfurling banners outside his shops won't bother the fat lad.Toon fans boycotting his shops won't affect his profits greatly either.He can afford not to sell the club unfortunately .He's got us over a barrel and the twat knows it.

Aye agreed tbh, I thought targeting the stores may increase board pressure on him since they’re already a bit annoyed with his antic but really you’re likely right that he’d just shrug it off. Just have to hope a buyer comes along soon and is determined enough to put up with the tosses long enough to get through the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 He's got enough money to continue to take the piss out of us,even if we go down.He'll pocket the £130m + SKY money at the end of the season then cut his cloth accordingly in the Championship.As you say,we'll just have to hope a determined buyer comes forward and pays fat man what he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21915 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 He took Rafa and the team out for tea, according to talksport. Doesn’t sound like something he would do if he was trying to sell up, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it's so unlikely of him that I'm tempted to say it's a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
