    Tifo Football 2018 - 'Meet the owners' series - Mike Ashley

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNgu...vkUS0KgS4L7EyX

    Just a nice reminder to those talking about the morally questionable nature of the fat man among the cadre of dubious owners in the Prem.

    Follow the rest of the series if you're interested in finding out how dodgy the other current owners are.

    The animation of the fat clown is joyfully amusing too.

    Classic video.

    I'd love to read the new article on The Athletic about his horrendous ownership of our club, if anyone has got access?

    I’ve heard this ‘better the devil you know’ a couple of times and I don’t agree.
    I was told a story once that if a rabbit is on the road at night and it looks up to see two headlights bearing down on it, then it has 2 choices. One, stay still or, the other, to jump.
    If it jumps, it might still die (be hit by the lorry or fall in a river and drown, etc.), but it has a chance to survive. If it stays still (and does nothing) it will certainly die.
    It’s got to the stage with Ashley that it is a ‘no brainer’ that it is worth trying a new owner. Our club is slowly dying, otherwise.

    You can rack your brains until it hurts but it's difficult to think of a prospective new owner who could be worse than Ashley.
