WalthamOwl Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 No no no no. He would be just as big a disaster as Chansiri. Would put an even bigger divide between the club and the fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 So we go from being an insane asylum to a glorified Sports Direct. Would seem quite fitting really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 What's the point? Mike Ashley couldn't bring more money in - nobody can because of the EFL rules - and they are worse in L1. What positives is he bringing to the party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC approach to running a football club is a complete joke, a his latest idea which is to not run the club that why we keep falling and falling down the leagues with DC in charge we will still fall further this club is but no way bottomed out yet. This for me. Don't really understand what Newcastle fans expected with him. Hes overall done well and not able to afford/compete the level of investment to take them to the European spots. I would happily take Newcastle's position with Ashley in charge. Newcastle fans just think their bigger than mid-table. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they forgave him for getting rid of Raffa, another one of this buy success managers, without money they are no better than the rest with money everyone thinks they are the best managers in the world. I don't like Wilder but what he did at Sheff Utd is a mark of a good manager, got lower league players, made them better, got promotions and got a style of play that got the best out of his players, did not try and force a style on players unable to play it and at the same time made the club millions from promotion to the premier league and player sales, without spending a great deal until he got to the premier league and unfortunately for him believe the hype of rubbish British players who have one good season in the championship on loan and suddenly they are worth £20m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camffiti Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 From what I hear from NUFC fans, Ashley would be a an Owlstalkers dream Snap their hands off for half the price Drive him there myself Sell Bann0n for £1.5mil and buy a 3 legged Trevor Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelowl Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 from afar he strikes me as a dave allen type on speed and considerably more dosh again from what I've read, he isn't liked up there due to relative lack of investment, at least DC has invested a considerable % of his known wealth however if I were his dad or very able elder bro, I'd say just ask for your cash back learn from it and get the heck out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a club shop shop that currently is losing money and still has merchandise in from 2 to 3 season ago. A man who has built a sports empire will not make it profitable and give funding to the club. You don't think the Sport Direct Hillsborough stadium will not bring in millions in sponsorship. NUFC fans don't like Mike Ashley but as a business man there are very few in this country that have achieved more. Compare Mike Ashley business acumen to D Chansiri then if you can stop laughing realise that Doris the tea lady taking over at Hillsborough would be an improvement on DC. A guy with the business ability of Mike Ashley would be a massive improvement. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have been there more often that the Owls club shop mainly because the club shops gear is out of date, the shop is never open late nights or week ends and to be charge £60 for a football shirt you will wear maybe 20-30 times is a ******** take.

SiJ Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I mean...just think about that: The club shop is never open on weekends...so all those times I walked in to get a ticket etc., and walked past all that club merchandise (you know, like the play off final 2016 shirt) that wasn't the club shop?

room0035 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 New in at our brilliant online shop is slippers for £26, you can buy them elsewhere for a £11 but stick a club badge on them and change 250% more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise he charges Newcastle a massive premium for the Sports Direct sponsorship? And takes a massive portion of the profits out of the club from all merch sales into his Sports Direct Brand? If I recall correctly most of the money made in merchandising goes to Sports Direct and not the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday to Saturday 10am to 4pm so if you work an office job the only time you can go is on a Saturday, only have late night opening on match days and then it shuts at 7.45pm Most megastores want customers so open at least till 8pm most nights so people are able to go and shop after work. We don't have that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheff74 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I suspect every Newcastle supporter would drive him down here, pay for the fuel and risk not being able to re fill for the return journey. He has treated their fanbase with about as much contempt as it is possible to do, yet many on here would welcome him with open arms. I suppose it just shows us, once again, how bad our current owner is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
