    Ashley FULL interview

    On Sky,fascinating,admits all his mistakes,says football is not regulated like business,more like Wild West.I tried to build Newcastle up from the bottom by improving the academy but the massive TV money keeps shifting the goalposts,I had an eight year plan but now I have to start again from the beginning.
    Full half hour,says sorry to Keegan and other managers like Hughton and Allerdyce.
    Charnley answers to Rafa when it comes to players in or out not the other way round but Rafa can only get money that is generated by the club not from me,my wealth is in shares not in the bank.
    I would like an academy like Southamptons.
    My ambition for this season is make the Prem priority but if we are comfortable in mid table then we can go for a cup.
    How much money can I give Rafa just now? not enough for what he wants,the club needs to generate more money.

    it isn't an interview! it's a staged arse licking session. he answers no difficult questions and he just goes to fuel the media's delight that us deluded geordies all expect CL Football.

    Well he needs to find some money for a new striker before the window shuts or we will be in trouble.

    i wasnt falling for that shlt. The man hasnt learned anything, he says the right things in front of the camera hoping to get some sympathy but its all for show.
    he wants rid of this club but only at a price he wants, he thought he could make a few quid quickly whwn he bought us, his lack of due dilligence shows it.
    I think Rafa will be off at the end of the season unless he gets some significant investment.
    Its quite alarming that our defenders we ended the game with have all been relegated from this league

    So he's told Rafa what the club's cup policy is. I thought Rafa was meant to be in charge.

    The man is a compulsive liar.

    I'd love to know exactly how much he has really put into the club, and how much he has took out of it. Free sports direct advertising is worth about 10m a season which he gets for free and the amount of times I've seen this club make profit for the last 5-6 years he is making a fortune

    I read his net spend has been about 4 million per season since he bought the club. Not sure how accurate that is though. His relegations have cost the club tens of millions.

    How much did he buy the club and how much debt did he pay?
