Semedo's ferret Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not reading too much into this. Every club has its price. For the right money, he'd have sold us at any point in the past year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will attract sympathy and less critism of him now. Mike Ashley officially first put Newcastle up for sale in 2009 would you believe. This. Ploy for sympathy, I fear.

Guest mkowl Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I agree on the the success too quickly comment. When DC first came in he talked the long term project route. Perhaps that was never the case but it felt like a sea change. Milan had steadied the ship and it needed deeper pockets to go to the next stage. Those deep pockets have unfortunately been emptied into the wrong places in order to get the pot of Premier League gold. It is that waste of money and how different it could have been with a focused plan in place. But it is the small matter of being concerned about FFP but then shrugging shoulders as to why the likes of Hutchinson or Westwood don't feature. It's the lack of recognition that the two are linked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful kids the voice of reason is here. No actually it would be understandable and atleast he would showing some honesty.

striker Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not good news IMO, don't feel the amount of the criticism DC received is warranted. Those who wanted him out have got their way, just hope there are buyers queuing up to buy an overpriced, loss making business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the new fella attempt to divide and conquer and charge extortionate POTG prices? £90:00 Membership - tempting. Bile, me? It’s the grey pound fella - I’ve loads of money. Might go to Hillsborough - or, go on a Caribbean Cruise. Exciting times eh? (not on the pitch obviously - £40:00 in August 2015 though?) Its a tough choice. Interesting if somewhat smarmy reply which really speaks volumes about the poster. personally I prefer the Caribbean in the early spring, before the rainy season but that wasn’t the question was it? As you’ve previously stated you haven’t been to watch the team under DC’s 4 year reign, will you start going again when he’s gone ?...... or is the limit of your Supporting ambition keyboard based?

quinnssweetshop Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 If I had the money, I'd offer him what he paid for it. Other than the pitch and a scoreboard, there's been no other improvement Who the hell wants to pay 100 mill for us..... He's living in dreamland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Just caught up, I think. This statement about the club being for sale pretty much makes the rest of the evenings events academic..... He continues to have faith in anyone but the average fan. I don’t get that.

There won't be...he will either have to take a low price or keep funding the losses. Whatever he does from now he isn't getting his money back and given his incompetence he doesn't deserve to get his money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lomas613 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 7 hours ago, OwlontheRock said: Amazing, he said earlier in the evening he wasn't going to sell as who would want to buy swfc I was there and reading between the lines when people asked his 5year plan (way too long to ask) then someone asked what’s the plan next season he said “I don’t know what’s round corner” to some extent I said as I was leaving to a few others who agreed that he’s fed up and that showed he is looking for a buyer if he can’t answer next season plans ?? Unfortunately he didn’t seem open to suggestion last night we was all saying he’s done a decent job just wrongly advised with manager selection ie jos get rid of him listen to fans you then show your a listener a learner and a trier ?

Blue and white Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Certainly speaks volumes as to why Dross is still in a job, why sack him and pay up his contract if he has the club up for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinwestzicoest Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Absolutely wonderful news! This guy has been killing the club. Sick of being the great tuna empire experiment. Never liked the bloke ever since he nearly knocked me over! See previous post. Arrogance personified that he tries to cover up with fake charm. New owner should get Chansiri ripped out of the North asap, were SWFC not CHANSIRI FC!!!!!!. Milan Mandaric, wonderful man & football man, must also be relieved. I'm sure he will have been horrified by the actions of Chansiri, Milan truly loved the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 People need to remember life before DC was a struggle. Fighting relegation year after year since getting relegation from the PL. Like the last 10 games but it lasted 15 years. I’m grateful for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
