Carver!

[grandpops]

Liquidated a retail chain of his, USC maybe, and sent 50 Sports Direct trucks to pick up the stock before the liquidators got their hands on it. Landlord of the warehouse barricaded the trucks in until USC settled their storage bills.

He had the staff at USC warehouse loading the clothing onto trucks before they knew anything was going on (although it does seem obvious) essentially they "Dug their own graves" according to the guy who gave the story to the press.

He's ****ing ruthless.

That bloke doesn`t give a toss about anybody.

He`s virtually destroyed any hopes or ambitions the mags may have had. Lord knows what he`s capable of when he gets his investment back.

 

[Tel (they/them)]

Oh yes, he owes money to USC suppliers but he's plunging USC into administration next week and he's using Sports direct to absorb USC's stock pile before carrying it through. In the meantime USC debts to these suppliers will be written off when Administration commences leaving many small businesses with out their money, contracts or stock essentially putting them out of business. Disgusting man.

Disgusting maybe, I think he's just playing the system. As for the small companies, his suppliers are probably, mostly, large manufacturers who extort Indian and Bangladeshi teenagers for pittance, so I'd have no sympathy with them ****s.

His staff at USC have been royally ****ed, by the people running USC. He's ruthless, everything about him is ruthless. He'd assassinate his own mother if he found out she'd bought a pair of insoles from JD Sports.

 

[Tel (they/them)]

USC stores occupy some of the priciest real-estate in the high streets of the UK, they were bound to fail selling the crap that they stock on their shelves, even more so when Ashley started stacking cheaper **** on their shelves after his takeover. The likes of BooHoo, PLT and ASOS can absolutely flatten every mid-range clothing chain with one good year of trading.

Ashley will move any mid-range he buys into bargain range stores, so that he's not getting involved in that market.

Yeah **** them but these are British based warehouses, storage facilities employing English 'pickers' as they call them. They'll receive shipments from these dodgy manufactures Ashley has contracted and distribute it to stores. The dodgy manufacturers will continue to supply and Ashley will still make money while these kids will still work for rice while he dumps British USC workers and the workers of their warehouses on the dole and closes small business. Disgusting, hope the evil **** meets an agonising death.

Something tells me you two won't be going for a pint together.

Nah mate. Scum of the earth.

It would be great to be a fly on the wall in that scenario.

I feel we are in no position to laugh at Carver and the skunks. They wont go down, we very well might

 

[John Cardew]

We've been staying up for years based purely on individual players and awful managerial input, we'll do it again this year. IF, as seems likely, this paves the way for De Boer in the summer, it's absolutely fantastic for us, De Boer will end up at a top, top club. Happy for Carver to take the reigns till the end of the season, he's a decent enough bloke aside from a couple of blips and it's clearly an honour for him. I'm happy (except for the premature name change on my part mind, 20 odd days till I can change it again )

 

[John Cardew]

Reading the thread, Typical Terry is the voice of reason. Although some of you would clearly like to think Ashley is trying to relegate us out of pure spite to the fans, he has always played it extremely safe when it comes to relegation. He's always happy to sell on for big money, if safety is already assured. The one year it wasn't, he shipped 20 million quid or something like that on 4 or 5 players to push us over the line (evidence that there was no particular faith in Pardew, Ashley knows as well as anyone else that it's our players that have kept us where we are).

As for Sissoko, he's a class act on his day, one of those who has quite clearly been "Pardewed". At say 10 million he could be a bargain for someone who realises his potential and fancies themselves to get him back somewhere near his best.

And on Perez, aye Terry, the lad has got everything. Future star. I think we are all just crossing our fingers that he stays under the radar for as long as possible, real class act.

 

[Tel (they/them)]

Nah mate. Scum of the earth.

He'd probably make you pay anyhow.

 

[Brian Storm]

He'd probably make you pay anyhow.

Ha! And he'd be told to **** off.

 

[Smug in Boots]

Newcastle were more or less safe at this point last season, their struggle came after his sale. I also read at the time, that Cabaye was 6 months short of being able to buy himself out of his contract for £6m, if that's true, it was a no-brainer.

Like I said, if it's a stupid bid, he probably would sell, but Sissoko isn't that player for me, nobody's gonna go in with a silly bid for him. He's just not that good, I think those who want him, will be prepared to wait.

I reckon there's more chance of Cisse going.

Sissoko's stock will never be higher than it is now ....... Ashley knows this is pay-day before he does a 'Ben Arfa'.

I honestly can't believe a decent club hasn't tried to prize him from Ashley's grasp.
I don't think he'd hang on too tightly if the offer was right.

 

[Home_and_Away]

And rightly so !!!

Who clearly said that ....... no one is the answer unless I've missed summat.

Making things up destroy your argument, not support it.

BTW, I think McClaren will be your next manager, I've put money on it.

Didn't he sell Given on deadline day of the winter window in the season you were relegated and made do with Harper for the rest of the season?

I think Ashley is hoping Derby fail to gain promotion.... Or.... If they do, hope McClaren doesn't get sufficient backing from the Derby board before trying to 'tempt' him with a substantial transfer kitty in the summer.

I honestly think he's wiping his hands of the club as he knows he's gonna own rangers soon and he's gonna put two big fat fingers up to the ****ers who made death threats outside his home to his family, if i was a billionaire i would, ****ing skiprats

Well, he's already given the 'hordes' what they craved.... A true Geordie in charge!
Let's see how that works out
