I'll be feckin honest, I'd never heard of Ekitike before we were linked with him... but thrn again I'd never heard of Bruno, so it appears i know little. Well the Jan signings did the trick, so I'll give this my backing.
He was a psychopath **** who put up with 14 years of constant abuse so he could rip the heart and soul out of the club in order to make money for his own gain. Sold to the right people, but he'd have sold to anyone for a good price.
His reign was as I've said tyrannical, but at the end of the day in terms of what he took in and left we're laughing now. The ifs and buts about who he would've sold to are just ifs and buts What's actually happened is matter of fact. Mike ashley had to happen for this to happen and its been worthwhile.
I opened up a few wounds suggesting that ultimately Mike ashley left us in a better place than when he took over financially.
No I just said a fact and because people are full of hatred they don't like to accept it. I haven't at any point said he did well in the areas he didn't and in fact gave a very fair assessment.
- bought us without doing due dilengence, resulting in him having to pay off millions of debt and leaving Sheppard laughing to the bank - tried to be everyone's buddy and spent a cringeworthy year in the stands in a shirt - when it turned sour he told the world he would sell us, but instead spent the next 13 years turning the club into a hollow shell, whilst all the time making money from us. - ****ed off when he got a good offer for us. Any other owner could have bought and sold us, Ashley was in no way necessary and deserves no credit.
None of this is relevant to the point it's just all a big moan about other areas not related to the fact I presented I will however say that another owner may not have bought newcastle and we could've done a Leeds and another owner may well have sold is to the Venky brothers..... Everything you've presented is ifs and buts What's happened is matter of fact. He bought a club in a financial mess and fixed it.. He left the club in better place financially..That is a fact
