Skyson1872 2,923 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Other side of that is in England they would receive millions in TV money and other sponsorships that you just wouldn't get near in Scotland.Other side of that is he would get european football with us and that would mean money through the actual competition and money from advertising his company in other countries.

RFC Eagle 4,888 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 They don't play part time sides in a diddy cup...Ally's cup record is non existant and that is in a country where only 1 team have more resources than us.They weren't very good when they played a 'Diddy team' in 1964. Jock Wallace and the rest of the Bedford Town team beat the Bar codes 2-1 at St James' Park. I guess that was MA's fault too though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 To be pedantic, he never cleared the debt - he switched it so that Newcastle owe him the debt now (circa £120m iirc) - granted it is now in an interest free loan.I listen to podcasts about the EPL and he's often discussed on there. The lack of ambition (specifically not attempting to challenge for cups), refusing to speak to the media, and the way he treated club legends (such as Keegan) are often spoken about for reasons for the dislike in the past though I think currently it is refusing to sack Pardew. Also the commercial deals being loaded in favour of SD rather than the club is used as a criticism.Newcastle do turn a profit and their wage bill is pretty low by EPL standards I think - Personally think they are cutting it a bit fine with the players this season but I don't see them being relegated.GMAch that the issue - it's how you view these things - I would say he gave Keegan a chance, he has provided a financially stable footing for the club and if SD get benefit is that a good price for financial stability? Also chasing the dream can be financial roulette - are we not examples of that? However I don't really have the answer unless my £100m ticket comes in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 One of the richest men in the UK wants in on our club, a double smart guy who makes David Murray look like Del boy, I will ask anyone against him being involved to list the reasons why, maybe they enjoy the emergency loans, share offers to get by, alleged threat of admin 2 etc etc, ffs look at the nick of our team imo he is exactly the man we need, whingeing Geordies with ideas way above their station.They expect a Van Gaal type manager and the top drawer players (never going to happen) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickbear 35 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I hear people saying that 'toon fans are raging at what he has done to their club. Hasn't he brought plenty players into the club who have then moved on for even higher inflated fees?Just think, Rangers right now costs approx £20M a year to run from top to bottom. That doesn't even buy you a top player in the EPL...Running Rangers would be pocket money to someone like Ashley, even once into the top tier we will still only need about £30-£50 Million to run with the next level of player.Just imagine Ashley bringing in players like Cisse or Ba?????Which he could easily do with the lure of European Football for these players and the stepping stone to the EPL.
