Southie_Owl Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yeah I wouldn’t be against Ashley buying us as much as some, as getting Chansiri out is vital in my opinion, but I think he’d be looking at budget buys not overpriced valuations. So it will be more likely to see him linked with buying clubs like Walsall and Doncaster now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I can't see Ashley giving us a second glance unless Chansiri has seriously lowered his expectations of what he'd receive. Maybe in a few more years, if Chansiri continues to run the club into the ground and the money well and truly dries up, then someone like Ashley might pick us up for a knockdown price. Something to look forward to, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 We are the type of club that would be on Ashley's radar, but he doesn't overpay for anything, therefore unlikely to be anything in it. Probably looking at another distressed championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Ashley will want a project where he can see a return on his investment Only was he will see any kind of return will be to take the team he buys into the premier league He will want a potentially larger club who have fallen down the pecking order or a team with potential to grow We would be an ideal purchase but the price for us will be the sticking point Teams like Bristol City, Swansea, Forest etc might be on his radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewkesbury Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 At least he'd get rid of the faded PRESTO on the west stand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBridgfordowl Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Not a chance he’d buy us. I’m not sure why, but he doesn’t really see us as a big club, with potential to build value. If you look at the businesses he buys, they’re usually on the edge of, or already in administration and he can then bolt them onto what is essentially his logistics business. Newcastle just needed cash to avoid admin when he bought it and he saw huge potential. I’d be surprised if he bought another football club. I guess the press will always band his name about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Ashley obviously openly just wants to make as much money as possible. So based on our fanbase, stature, history and current division you would think there is huge scope for that but it entirely depends on Chansiri's asking price, which I assume is high and thus would rule Ashley out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't see DCs asking price being as much as some might think. Like I said earlier he is chucking money at us to keep us afloat. Some will no doubt disagree but you don't become a multi-millionaire without some business acumen. I don't buy the theory that daddy has/is bankrolling him. If he was he would have stopped a long time ago imo. Again like I've said before it's coming to the time when he's thinking enough is enough and it's time for damage limitation, in my opinion anyway. Sure many will disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again like I've said before it's coming to the time when he's thinking enough is enough and it's time for damage limitation, in my opinion anyway. Sure many will disagree. it's just my assumption based on how he seems to price everything, from players we needed to sell to merchandise in the club shop. But we don't really know how much he's feeling SWFC and our upkeep as we don't know his wealth. I remember the ex-CAFC chairman on talk sport saying 'what Charlton fans don't understand is that they represent less than 1% of my wealth and therefore I don't always have the time to be attentive for them' (or words to that effect) and we don't know whether that's similar for DC as we don't know anything about how he makes money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmut_rooster Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Newcastle didn't like him as he didn't spaf money everywhere (apart from Joe Linton ) Ran Newcastle as a business and them bïtches didn't like it. If he'd have done a Mel Morris the fans would have gone mad. He's a business man. Don't know the answer but how much debt did Newcastle have before they were sold? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
