What is Ashley playing at?

I need to start saving these somewhere. It’s like having Karl Pilkington as a massive mike Ashley fan.

 

Since he came a decade ago I'm not sure anyone has been relegated from the Premiership more than we have. His methods do leave something to be desired.

 

And yet he says himself he is hands off. I don’t necessarily see a big board of directors as useful in running a business but we desperately need some vision snd long term planning at the too to focus the club on developing properly.

 

So another week goes by and another week without any progress in terms of investment in the team players or staff.

Even if we do get some players in on loan now it is getting close to the season starting and they will have little to no time to get used to rafas tactics of how he wants them to play.

I’m still baffled at the championships wage bill. I truly am! But has anyone ever been relegated from the top flight three times in ten years. If that happens surely it will be a record?

We've bounced back. We finished 10th last season. All about the here and now. Stock is high at present.

 

Mike is a visionary so don't fret.

 

Just get on board mate and drop the negativity. See the light.

 

Well at least you’re facing the right way from mikes rectum. Whatever you do, don’t turn around.

 

Glad I wasn't eating then. Would have been a choke or puke moment. You nailed both.

 

Come on mate, you'll feel better if you let the misplaced anger go.

 

Even Simon Jordan says it's not unreasonable to expect minimum £50mil investment this summer and £20mil in January. He got a few casual digs in as per, harking on about the delusion thing... but I don't think anyone would think we're deluded to expect an owner who promised generated funds to be given to the manager, to actually stick to his word.

The bloke is a liar. Apparently there is a growing "if Rafa goes, I go" movement which Ant and Drunk are involved with, but anybody who hasn't already got tired of this **** show is too far gone to actually go.

 

Pretty much nailed it. Sick of it probably even sums up how Free-Dor is feeling underneath his sweaty, stinky WUM mask.

 

On a more sombre note, my beloved Springer spaniel passed away today and as the vet administered the injection to put him out of his painful existence he looked up at me with those wonderful expressive eyes and said " I know you will get another dog but for f@ck sake promise me you won't call it Ashley"
With tears rolling down my face I said " don't worry old friend, I won't "
He then rolled over and with his last breath whispered " good, because he's a c@nt "

 

Reports down here are saying Mitrovic is a done deal at circa 20 mil being unveiled on monday

 

More likely the only thing being unveiled on Monday is that we rejected your bid to hold out for an extra 500k

 

If we replace Mitrovic with Rondon, I'll puke.
