Aye absolutely better than him, but Troops was talking like they were looking to Man City someone. I just don't think that's what this is about.

Even if they did buy, there is no chance they were going to throw money around like the lunatics who own City. Sure we may well have spent more and have been generally better managed, but it would have been a slow build over 5 years quite possibly with a view to selling on again at the end for profit. I.e. a million times better than the current plight Agree with Gloom that it's not necessarily over, it smacks of desperation from the fat cunt, but it doesn't exactly auger well for a smooth takeover.

trooper 940 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The bell tolls tonight, for the future of Newcastle United. Does this man really hate us so much, that he is willing to destroy the club for generations to come? #AshleyOut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30602 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm pretty sure Staveley wasn't expecting her opening offer to be accepted. And this is just Mike Ashley being an undignified obese mess as per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from The Sun Dec AMANDA STAVELEY has made a second £300million bid for Newcastle - upping the pressure even more on owner Mike Ashley.

scoobos 298 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yup, or at least thats what the mirror was saying before Christmas. My new theory is that Ashley was either bullied by a geordie or supported a rival club during the Keegan years and decided one day he would have his revenge. Nothing about putting the club up for sale after criminal underinvestment, getting a 250 mil offer and refusing ; makes any sense whatsoever. Having billions and wanting to fuck over an entire city due to some egotistical revenge campaign over a childhood wound. Now theres a more plausible theory.

McFaul 35 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I'm nearly giving up me. I've missed 2 games all season and I haven't paid a penny, if I had to pay...fuck that. Nothing is changing, we're cursed. 25 years ago we had plenty of men on Tyneside who would've sorted this out, modern times mean we have to grin and bare it the same way Jimmy Conway had to coming off the phone when his best pal Tommy got whacked, and that was that . If football was the only thing that determined your frame of mind, we'd have hundreds of thousands of deranged prozac takers doing anything to keep their miserable lives going. Luckily for Ashley we have plenty robots left to support this club in the ground, on message boards and in pubs. Despressing Cunts FC.
