The Fish 10728 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 One thing I've never really got is the need of fans of other clubs with shit owners to downplay Ashley's shitness. As if the Venky's clusterfuck is diminished by talk about Ashley's. Shouldn't they lump on, raise the issue on a broader platform? The Venkys, Dutchalet(sp?) Oyston, Ashley and so on, these are all men who shouldn't own a piece of the local community because they're irresponsible custodians. You wouldn't entrust the running of the local historical monuments to them because you know they'd ruin them, why is it ok for them to run a football club? The other fans should be joining in protests, they should be working together to oust bad owners throughout the league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9733 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 With a sale looking increasingly unlikely (if there was ever a chance anyway), no significant transfers and another relegation looming there should be a phenomenal backlash this time.

Howay 12496 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The best part about that is both sides of the story are definitely possible. What a fucking horrible pair of human beings. Keys and Ferdinand are spot on taking that blokes side over a respectful and professional man like Rafa Benitez. I look forward to the day we are rid of this shambles of a man. It might not be soon but it’ll happen, the way things are going I’d imagine it’ll be after a few years of being a Championship side (or lower) and him just giving up rather than any big sale like he’s hoping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the man's self respect? What a fucking idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see every game of Football Manager ever, played out in real life. Of course it makes sense to scout far and wide for emerging talent, nurturing them and selling them on for massive profits, I mean of course it does! Ashley (or his advisors) perhaps saw that and wanted Carr to replicate it, but he didn't have sense to employ a manager who would nurture that talent properly. Nor did he have the ambition to push for more than mere survival. By the way "According to Zorc" sounds like a 90's Alt-rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
