Bassetts Allsorts Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) I think he'll be more interested in the likes of Portsmouth, Bolton, Bradford etc. No way would he meet Chansiri's valuation for this club, even with £300 million burning a hole in his pocket. But it just shows how bad the club is being run when we're all willing to entertain the idea of Mike Ashley owning SWFC. As @Great Big Galaa said, Ashley wouldn't be perfect but he'd run the club a hell of a lot better than Chansiri and people like Paxo would be long gone.

Guest Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'd take him Dc had a go and its gone t1ts up Needs to take his loses and call it a day As for people saying Newcastle fans hate Ashley Newcastle fans are deluded They have a decent ground and a good fan base but that doesn't make them a massive club in my book They've not won a trophie since 1955 FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 God I hope there’s something in this Id take Ashley over chansiri any day Theyre both idiots but at least Ashley knows the game and wouldn’t fall for charlatan advisors dragging us down to league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy bunny Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Mike Ashley would be ours and DC's get out of jail card, he built Newcastle into a £300m club Nice little project for him Also actually believe that right now we have nothing to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Ashley is an astute businessman, has contacts in football all the world, and can bring Steve Bruce back, can get the EFL off our case, is loaded, and offers us a chance to move forward, that is no reason to push his name forward. (insert OwlsTalk reasons for staying clear)....... - He’s overweight - He pays his staff minimum wages - His fishing section on Sports Direct is crap - He’s a friend of Dennis Wise - Alan Pardew is his drinking buddy - Lonsdale brand is crap So our players would be on minimum wage.... probably justified since Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knows how to appoint someone who can get us promoted on the biggest budget in the league with the remains of a Premier League squad.

DirtyLeedsOwl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Both Ashley and Chansiri make mistakes but at least Chansiri is an honest chap, genuinely trying his best for the club, you simply cant say that about Ashley. Never quite understood what happens to a clubs accounts & FFP once a club is sold to new owners, is the club given a fresh start in relation to the £30m (or whatever it is) losses over a three year period? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets a lot of stick and I don’t really like the guy but he knows how to run a football club and he knows how to get sides promoted from this league. I’d take him ahead of Chansiri. Personally I would take him, he has put Newcastle on a sound financial footing. He has learned how to run a football club and he has introduced a wages policy that Newcastle can afford and that's 100% better than our current situation.

No. If this was the case we would be owned by Chansiri's wife or son at this moment in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I actually think there could be something in this. Firstly, I think Ashley would go for a club in the championship with big potential and we would fall into this category. He is a businessman to make money and I don’t see him going for another premier club. Only issue is that DC would want an inflated price and Ashley will not want to go high and there lies the problem. Sports Direct head office is in the vicinity as well.

upperwinngardensowl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I worked very close to the top brass at their HQ in Shirebrook for 3 years and met Mike a few times, who TBF comes across as a nice bloke in person. However, its a massive NOOOOOOOOOO from me, and I cant stand Chansiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
