I have to decide now whether I think this man has no idea of the situation, or whether the supporters of Newcastle United have no idea of the situation
 
Since 2008 we've appeared in the Forbes top 20 list of richest clubs on 6 occasions (including 2016) - highest placing 16th, lowest 20th (in those seasons we made the list).

During this period sunderland didn't make this list once

This is based on Forbes estimate of past transactions, market value, debt, and stadium.

if we use Deloitte then the figures are comparable - again I've stuck to the top 20, although Deloitte's ranking do go lower

Since 2008 we've appeared in the Deloitte top 20 list of richest clubs on 3 occasions (although figures only go to 2015) - if we took the top 25 then this increases to 6 times i.e. all bar one season.

Highest sunderland position is 25th (in 2014/15 season when we were placed 17th) - respective revenues (generated from football operations) were £169.3m and £132.9m

Guess if anyone is quibbling with these figures, they'll need to take it up with Forbes or Deloitte

Running a football club sounds pretty simple
 
After reading some of this thread, I should be ashamed for voting OUT.
I should also be grateful for the fantastic times Ashley has given me over the last 10 years.
He really is the best.......<ok>

He is one hundred times more responsible for Newcastle's present success than is RAFA

You need to decide whether you have no idea about anything or whether you have no idea about anything.
 
One thing I did discover on my travels is that Sports Direct with its low P/E ratio compared to its competitors, together with a possible spin off from any success N.U.F.C may have is an excellent opportunity to make a quid

If you can afford it then why not push the boat out, double your investment and make two quid! :)
