    Is this what a ashley is doing to take value out of the club before he sells for a ‘lower’ £100m?

    I can honestly see the situation where we have, say £75m in the bank.. we get to November.... he takes back half his loan then sells.

    It’s clear there is a lot of money to spend and surely Fatty ain’t that daft to think the money will sit, undetected in their next set of accounts.

    For that reason expect some ****e signings, on the cheap/free and nothing more.

    One last bit of turbulence hopefully before this cancer in our club is finally removed.

    No. He's just tighter than 2 coats of paint.

    I muted exactly this a couple of months ago that this is what he would do and I got absolutely hammered on here by some people.

    But I think this is what he is doing. He’s taking a huge gamble though.

    Again I’d take relegation to be rid. It’s worth it.

    He's a first rate arsehole. The club has money and he is making sure that Rafa can't have it. Rafa is standing up to him and fat **** doesn't like it. If Rafa goes then the fallout will be huge. Ashley is playing with fire this time.

    Who says the club has no money?
    Mitro, Merino and Mbemba plus the Premiere League payment. Add to that a few extra for selling the surplus detritus and by my reckoning there has to be around £80 million generated from the above.
    Player sales, the money was said to be Rafa’s.
    The PL money is for the club, it’s not Ashley’s.
    So why are we scraping around the bargain ****ing basement and loans yet again.
    Folks keep saying when Rafa leaves there is going to be a ****storm of epic proportions, really ? What’s the point ? By that stage Rafa has already ****ing up and gone. We need the ****storm now.
    When Rafa leaves any tiny vestige of hope for any kind of future goes with him.
    So let’s all sit back and wait for it to happen. Right okay then, bitch, wum and prevaricate away.
    I don’t go to matches anymore, don’t buy merchandise, have never set foot in **** Direct, Ashley or no Ashley. It’s all l can do and it feels helpless and inadequate.
    I don’t want Ashley to spend his ****ing money, l don’t expect him to out spend a whole nation, but l do want him to allow the club to spend what is rightfully theirs. End of rant, but l hate that tub of lard, but mostly l hate that he is taking away what little hope we had left and why, because he is a damaged maladjusted narcissistic, who wants his payback because we won’t respect and love him. Say what you want but he will destroy NUFC purely out of spite and vengeance just because he can.

    Well ****ing said.
    That useless piece of **** is laughing in our faces so **** him.
    As the club doesn’t receive the money clearly.. I’m gonna buy snide tops this season and save lots of money. I’d rather some Chinese sweat shop owner trouser £10 off me than let that human leech trouser £65.

    That fat narcissistic **** is sitting in his north London mansion fingering his arsehole while laughing about what he is doing to Rafa. All because Rafa won't tow the line.

    All these happy clapper twats are starting to crawl out of the woodwork. Boils my piss.

    All I that I know, or think that I know, is that this isn't going to end well.

    This.

    18 days to add players. Take out weekends (Ashley doesn’t feel we need to) and we have a fortnight to somehow produce 3 players.

    When fatty said Rafa can have ever penny available, I can't help think of Chicken Run where Rocky promises the rats ever egg he'll lay.

    Think the devil is in the detail here.
    He said every penny not pound.
    We ought to be like kids at Christmas looking forwards to the new season, but as some have rightly said, this is not going to end well.

    This all over. His club, his money, his rules. If £150m of revenue = £75m costs and £75m for his loan repayment, then Rafa can clearly have everything else.

    Live in hope of takeover. Guardian said it's not beyond the realms of possibility to simply wake up and the club's owned by Saudi Arabia.

    Rafa isn't daft. He understands the finances very well. He knows Ashleys game and is letting those in doubt know with very clever comments.

    Rafa has a wide network. Don't be surprised if that network includes potential buyers.
