people backed of when he tried playing hard ball
and dint work out

hence why he will now take installments

i wonder if any geordie groups will get together and put a package in place
he doesnt want thhe money in one hit

surely the geordies wont have a better chance to own their own club

they could almost self fund it

use the money from the prem etc to pay him over 3-4 years and use their money and the money from extra revenue etc to buy the players etc etc

once ash has been paid of those who put money in could get it back over say 10 years with the rest being spent n the cluband players
