    Staveley has called MA's bluff. Come out and dispute what i have claimed.

    Yep because he’s a rancid fcking ****show as was proven by the individuals he got to defend him.

    If we get rid of this cancerous bastard we should get a novel prize.

    Ok maybe I’m too lazy to check them out and was hoping someone else would do the donkey work. Fair play no one fell for it. However I’ve spent time this morning and it turns out I’m almost bang on. 6 clubs not 7 though.

    So my Rafa is a whining bitch facts were spot on. Tell the fat ****er to refill my drink.

    Or she is trying to conduct a negotiation through the press in amateurish fashion hoping fan pressure will force him to take a huge financial hit. I’m not sure that works with billionaires.

    On Friday morning, a source close to Mike Ashley told SSN:" We are not aware of any bid that doesn't contain relegation clauses and we are not considering any further talks with PCP Capital Partners.

    "Our sole focus is to support Rafa Benitez in the current transfer market with all the resources at our disposal."

    If this is true she is a moron

    Had me fooled. But then again, I'm going on the assumption here that Mike Ashley has a tiny bit of history in the art of utter bullshit.

    Where she is going to struggle is thinking he gives a **** about opinion. The Times could run the headline "Mike Ashley The Root Cause Of All Cancer", wouldn't matter.

    Care to name the 6 clubs and let us all know where they sit in these global revenue figures? Also just stick a couple more 'facts' in there for these clubs, including TV appearances and - less tangible - worldwide fanbase. Ta muchly.

    From the Keegan case back in 2009.

    “The club admitted to the tribunal that it repeatedly and intentionally misled the press, public and the fans of Newcastle United.”

    8 years later, good to see so much has changed.

    I wonder that this dicking around is in reality because PCP do not have the money needed at this level, at the end of the day they are an investment fund, they go in to business to make a profit not to spend, they will not be much different from Ashley in reality.

    A few of us reckon we may have dodged a bullet on this one. Back to square one with Ashley.

    Yeah the more this drags on the more I see frying pans and fires, Ashley is an utter tosser but there's no point swapping him for another one.

    I don't get how you can fail to get it. You're a bright lad.

    Take two managers with reasonably good prem squads, worth £200 million each. One is forced to sell his whole squad and purchase players worth half as much. The other is given £50 million to spend and doesn't have to sell anyone. On your analysis, the first manager has spent twice as much as the second and so his results the next season should be better. In reality, the first managers squad has become much weaker and the second manager's squad has become somewhat stronger.

    Same principle, slight less dramatic numbers. We haven't invested £104 million in our playing squad, except in the same terms that the first manager has invested £100 million in his playing squad. We have invested (£12 million). if you don't like the analogy of the two squads I've mentioned above, think of your ISA. If you withdraw £116k and deposit £104k, you shouldn't expect your savings to have increased.

    Staveley looks like a blow up doll.
    She seems to also be full of hot air.

    I might be tempted if I hated my house and it was at risk of collapse!

    I also don't understand the Mike sympathisers.

    "We'll give you a lot of money, more than its' worth, for the club you've led - for a third time - to the brink of relegation. If it DOES go down, because you're such a fat-headed moron you fail to back the manager AGAIN, we'd like some money back, because it's in essence a Championship club. Or we'll structure the payments so the second installment is less. If it's a PL club - i.e., if you dip in your pocket, back Rafa - you get the full whack. Deal?"

    MA - "dur, me want 350 mills. Me go holidays. You give money now?"
