I attended the Magpie Group meeting tonight

[waalsendmick]

George caulkin (telegraph journo) highly respected and toon fan, claims there has been genuine interest and efforts made to buy tge club, by 6 seriously interested parties.

But, as happens everytime, they either get ignored by Ashley or brushed aside

He has no intention of selling the club, as it makes him too much money
He has less intention of investing in the club, as he will not spend his money.

The ground is tatty and worn, the training ground / academy are run down, tue VALUE of the club is reducing at the same rate as the price is increasing.

The future is bleak, there are real dark days ahead of us.

So had he committed and Fatty still welched where would we and he be then.

I think he has the Fat Slob worked out better than you do.

We won't know that because he didn't commit.

I think he has the Fat Slob worked out better than you do.

I don't think Rafa has more than a small bunch of words with Ashley every time they've crossed paths, so I hardly think Rafa has him worked out.
Maybe Ashley has Rafa worked out.

...and I'll tell you something else too. This should be the golden age for premier league clubs with all the worldwide revenue, exposure and TV money. Other clubs, smaller ones are making hay - investing in stadiums, training facilities for the future and building a legacy. We are not and when the money eventually dries up we will have fk all to show for it while Ashley will be away pockets filled with all the loot.

It's the golden age of the choreographed elite clubs.
If we are allowed to join then you'll get that take off.
If we aren't, we will continue to be dictated to by officialdom that sorts their wheat from their chaff.

Nope. I'm saying that possibly he wasn't given more to spend due to his refusal to commit. Had he commited he may have got every penny the club generated in playing side profit.
All I can do at this point is speculate just like everyone else.

Thats another half arrsed excuse. If there as money all Ashley had to do was be transparent beforehand.

There was and isn't any money.

Transparent as in how?
What could Ashley say at any time that would be taken as truth by the fans?

[Geordie1974]

Give me strength.If Rafa had committed we would have had money.Get a grip.Not a chance.Anyone that believes that and we know who does needs their heeds looking at.
The man is a liar and it's just another excuse.He has no intention of running NUFC the correct way.He cares about SD and that's it.FFS he's got his little minions telling lies in the media and bad mouthing everything and everyone connected to the club.

Ashley OUT.

[pboromag]

there isnt a buyer fr the club there wsasnt a buyer for the club stavely was trying to buy with others monety who werent interested

our club with its potential with its ground with its fan base is worth 300 mill all day long
im sure if the debt was paid and ash got 200 mill on top so he makes a small profit im sure he would walk
he would als im sure insist his advertising stays around for a few years
but know one will buy it

more money being made bringing a championship side up

so you have no point what so ever in protesting

a protest surely is to try and change something

people protest about goverments but you hacve a party ready to step in

but you have no alternative
by all means and i would join you if there was a genuine buyer and offering a genuine fair price with genuine plands above what ash is doing protest

but you are all cowards to protest outside his shops

complete and utter cowards

and for that you should be ashamed

those shop assisitants dont go to work to get abused by a few fans disgruntled with an owner of a footy club they probabaly have no allegiance of probabaly knowledge of

your scum for even suggesting it
and for that i hope you fail

[AP69]

Again turn up and tell these people to their faces

Do a pro Ashley banner and start your own protest
