name me any owner who is honest

they cant be they are running buisness
things change

there are so many factors in the football buisness that almost make any future planning impossible

[toonlegend]

none that stop them planning ti improve what they already have.

isn't that the premise of all businesses?? to improve.....

yes it is

but here is the point i try to make

if we go out and get a player to say replace dummet
we spend 12 mill doing so
what gaurantee do you have that he will be better than dummet when actually in the team playing in the prem
you dont so how is that an improvemnt
footy as i say isnt like anyother buisness
its a buisness almost like trading is in the banking buisness
its not like anyother buisness normal

if i go out and buy a new machine to cut and prep my windows
i know what that can do its mechanical it is programmed it does what it sasy on the box
it will need a little maintainace occasionally and it may break down the odd time
but generally i can guaranteee that machine will perform as i expected in the majority of cases and improve my efficency and production capacity

look at the players we have brought even this season

has any of them improved us

the only one that has we dont wown we are hiring it

and if we do go out and buy 4 players
which we probabaly will
we arent guaranteed we will improve our league position

so why gamble with our finaces

So if you could buy an equivalent of an Eden Hazard at a bargain/sensible price to replace any one of ours who play similar position would you not take him.

Put it this way. If someone bought us who ran the club the same way as Ashley but was honest and communicative with the fans then I would see that as an improvement worth having.

Are you telling me that only Ashley as a businessman in football is dishonest at times?

As for communicating. Tell me where and what should he say that fans will openly accept it and simply not walk away calling him the usual liar and all vile names he's become accustomed to?

Surely you do not believe anyone running a football club in this day and age is all honest.
And if you think this club is running fine except for Ashley being a liar and you'd like someone honest to do exactly the same, then how does that honest person do any different?

It's baffling.

she hasnt any money
she is using other peoples money

300 mill isnt the start from owning us
she will need half a billion

buy the club invets in the team

200 mill over 2-3 seasons

not like we have assets we can sell
no big nmae stars

a manager on huge wages

hardly any way of increasing revenue other than the tv money
we sell out already every week

we may sell a few extra shirts

ground naming rights maybe

500 mill yo maybe get into the europa league and with it the fixture congestion and increased aqud size in regards to depth of squad

Errmmm Advertising around the ground..£10-12m a year over 11 years that would be...

That's the biggest load of horse sh!t I have ever read,posted by a supposed Toon fan.
Honestly if I was a mod I would ban you forever,gan to the match on Sunday() and say that to any fan over the age of 16 and see what they think.
I know you get off on winding people up but some of us actualy care about the club and have strong feelings,so could you just kindly stop posting this **** or just fu ck off...
