He had a good business...and he did it bloody well. You can't become a billionaite just by having a good idea.

But, I'd contest the idea he's a good business man (I know that's not what you're saying, Pat). He's a gambler-look at the money he's ploughed into businesses that are failing based on the oudated-and misguiuded- notion that he can become the saviour of the High Street. Look at his total lack of understanding of how he could have run this club properly.

Go back, even, to the time he got pissed and didn't meet the Saudi delegation who were interested in buying the club.

Fat wanker.

Ashley is good at the business model he knows. Whether it’s shares, failing business or tat products his model is buy cheap and sell for a profit.
As as premier league club owner he was completely out of his depth - he tried to apply his way of doing business to our club (raking in tv and prize money while investing the minimum and buying players with the sole aim of selling them later for a profit). He never acquired even an idea of the potential rewards to be made by running Newcastle well and was convinced it was too risky to invest in the club.

What we all knew and he didn’t is now happening and the sky’s the limit.
