The only engaging Ashley did with the fans was when he wore a shirt and sat with them in the crowd and looked like the world's biggest ****.
Saw a couple of them in pub last night, they were speaking honestly from the heart, talking about a world with a lack of ethics, inhumane treatment of women in third world countries and the lack of social conscience in the world today. It was a touching moment...
And the all time classic press release where he said he was a dad who took his kids to the game and has now been advised to not attend games as he will be assaulted, and so he has no interest in us and is going to sell us. No actual threats were recorded and he owned us for another 13 years after that.
To be fair to them I get it. They know full well what this means for NUFC. Its bound to grate. Even if we got relegated this season it wouldn't actually matter. Yeah they'd have a moment in the sun but after that it would just be years watching us climb. I hate the modern world. I hate the human rights travesties committed here, Saudi, USA, anywhere. But these westerners trying to paint themselves as better, I just have to laugh. There is no bigger trampler of human rights than the UK and US. End of story.
I'm literally buzzing at how excited they seem by this. Just wait till they see and hear a full stadium a week on Sunday and things will start to hit home...even if we get ****ing hammered by Spurs the atmosphere is gonna be unreal, we know there's a long road ahead but at least we're ****ing on it now instead of languishing in a ****ing ditch like a wounded animal. Be interesting to see the fans reaction to Bruce and the result during the game if he's still in the dugout. I reckon they'll give him his 1000th game in charge then give him the bullet.
Don't forget this from when he thought he was popular and "one of us" https://www.offthepost.info/2008/09/01/football-videos-mike-ashley-downs-his-pint-at-the-emirates/
If he survives the International break, he will be here until January at least, it will take time to sort a replacement, unless they just give Jones the gig until the Summer.
Will it **** mate managers will be after the carrot of nufc with super rich owners. It's now the no1 project in world football
I don't see that if I'm honest. IF he survives to face Tottenham its the owners being nice due to the 1,000 games thing. He hasn't won after 7 games. 5 in 35 or something. Writing is on the wall. They may let him stay till Spurs and I'm not convinced they will. I do not think Conte is coming. Rodgers would be a good fit. I think it will be a Favre type that is available. I reckon come Jan we may be looking at up and coming players such as Max Aarons etc. Not world beaters but way better than what we have. Could see Kamara in Jan too, possibly Morelos from Rangers. We may get 1 Statement signing - Koulibaly or someone but this will be a repair job in Jan rather than a build job I think.
I'd love that like, the buzz would be immense. Give him the hotseat til the summer then shift him upstairs
Seen that ****er Miles Jacobson winding nufc fans up blethering on about FFP - He has no ****ing idea how it works. Doesn't have the first concept of how player depreciation and previous years accounts effect this.
Betting markets don't mean anything at this stage mate. Conte turned down Spurs as he didn't feel they were able to challenge short term.
