It's crystal clear that any takeover, if indeed there ever was one, is dead and buried. So if Ashley is 'stuck with the club why does he not maxamis his financial return rather than it being an advertising hoarding? Bring Kenyon onboard with the brief that the club has to be financially self sufficient but that he can maxamise the commercial revenues and all other potential income streams. Ok, he loses the majority of the SD advertising, but is that really giving him maximum return anymore? He could run the club as a proper business and it might actually give him a decent return.............. or is that all too obvious?
Seems utterly obvious. Kenyon could seek investors too, hasn’t Mike previously lied (said) about that? About inviting people to invest? As usual just more utter garbage. Sold us all a ****ing trick. Mikes lies need to be put to him in person; - what did you mean when you would spend £20m of your own money each year? - when you say it’s for sale, what amount are you looking for? Ballpark it for me. - how much of your loan are you expecting and over what length of time? - when you said you’d welcome investment for percentage of the club, did you mean that? If so can you specify in line with the 2nd question? - why don’t you maximise commercial income by employing someone who has experience and isn’t Lee Charnley? - why does the club sell players for staggered payments but refuses to purchase under similar terms? And many more I’m sure. Not that it would matter, how could anyone trust a single word he said.
No not at all ........... which is exactly why he should be at least attempting to make a decent fist of running it like a proper business.
The club is financially self sufficient and Mike Ashley simply creams all the TV money. His cash cow is squirting out money now so until we suffer the same fate as Sunderland, we're stuck with Ashley.
This I am afraid. And I go back to the fact that we need a relegation and a couple of seasons out of the Premiership to get shot of the Ham Shanker!
