    Have said many times Kev,what year did we nearly do a Leeds?We didn't,Ashley said so to cover up the fact he didn't do due diligence.
    It's not like he is a liar is it.

    Everything in the books he looked at was there for him to see
    He just didn't look
    He thought he was going to sell it and make money
    I think all that wasn't in the books was money for Owen deal had been spent or something like that

    It’s a hypothetical question as no one can prove that what Ashley disclosed is true

    He lies like a cheap Persian Rug so I for one wouldn’t believe a word Pinocchio says

    If it was true,why didn't Ashley wait and just buy the club for peanuts whilst in administration.It is his style after all.

    Ah, that old chestnut
    The Ashley hooplickers(there were plenty) fall back quote when they were getting their a’rses handed to them about Ashley’s pathetic running of the club,doubling the debt and getting us relegated.

    Luckily these donuts are like kojak’s fringe
    F’ucking long gone!

    Top answer Geordie lad; it's totally his MO.

    70m mortgage at reasonable pre-crash rates. Nice revenue stream in merchandise and advertising. Nice.

    I remember being outraged at the Sheppard family taking 3million in revenue from shares one summer. Was raging.

    Funny looking back now. Can't remember who we bought that summer or who the manager was but I still don't think we would ever become this.

    From so much hope to absolutely nope.

    It's very much his style and very much a good point.

    That is a very good point.

    It's odd that the resident old chestnut hasn't been on with an opinion as to why we would have been worse off than Leeds if his hero Honest Ashley hadn't rescued us from the evil Sir John and Fearsome Freddie.
