All the club 1872 shite etc could get swept away if someone had the money and energy for it. I seriously doubt he has any interest in that though.

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 FFS so MA would be welcome at Ibrox by some because he is reputed to be a billionaire? Some folk never learn. The same MA who tried to maximise his SD brand for as little as possible last time he was here? The same MA who wanted to rename the stadium in return for a couple of quid? The same MA that was reputedly involved in a few behind the scenes moves that could have seen the club lose a lot more than it did just to further line the pockets of an already overtly rich and fat self centred wanker? Aye just what we need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club with a far higher potential is Leeds Utd; which again, is only my opinion. Leeds are a potentially big club but the way football is nowadays they will prob be stuck where they are for good.

He wasn't the only one. Lots of Ashley supporters in the Boredroom section have been saying for years that; our board couldn't alter the retail deal (wrong!), that he would take us to court and win (wrong!), King would go to prison (wrong!), Ashley would starve us out (wrong!), he'd run rings round the sfa (wrong!), and he'd sell Newcastle and buy us (wrong!). All because he is a billionaire. There were times when I thought Mikey was paying people (less than nmw of course) to post in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle have never done that . Ashley is a billionaire and could have put them.on the map had he wanted to but cheap managers who've bought expensive bog average foreigners has been why they've been shite for years . They do not have a massive support they are a one club city they don't have many fans outside of the toon ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
