Comments on: January sales – Newcastle United at knockdown price? http://www.nufcblog.org/2009/12/january-sales-newcastle-united-at-knock-down-price/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:32:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: [Blocked by CFC] Chuck http://www.nufcblog.org/2009/12/january-sales-newcastle-united-at-knock-down-price/#comment-20538 [Blocked by CFC] Chuck Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:01:29 +0000 http://www.nufcblog.org/?p=6635#comment-20538 Yeah, an emotional circumstance, with  lots of division and ill feeling. Hard to imagine how it will all end. But, there`s light at the end of the tunnell, doing well in the run to-wards promotion, we have`nt yet become Leeds and could very well be playing under new management  and in the top tier by this time next year. We live in hope and die in despair, nah !   Yeah, an emotional circumstance, with  lots of division and ill feeling.

It`s difficult to envision how this will  all end up, as I dont ever recall such bitterness and division. At least there`s some light at the end of the tunnell, the side is doing well in the promotion stakes and from a financial point of view we are a long way from being Leeds. So hopefully we may be under new ownership and competing in the top tier next season, not too much to ask for !   Is it?     Yeah we are all inclined to rush to judgement in certain circumstances, as mentioned,   it`s an emotional subject and  most of us have played our parts, in various ways.

'and while cashley has made a total balls up the fact is he has pumped a lot of money in to the club to rescue the freddy/halls mess!' A point well made Barton and there's no doubt, we were in free-fall pre Ashley and we may in time, come to thank him for his sometimes cack-handed methods!

Like Ashley or not, there's no doubt that the club's in a stronger financial position now than it was before he arrived.  By the sound of it, the club was heavilly leveraged and potentially on the way to meltdown! Ok, we got relegated but on the upside, we had a few players on massive wages who just did not perform and they were the ones to jump ship when it sank.  Ashley's problem is not totally about what he's done (although some of his actions do appear incredulous) his main problem is his lack of communication - whether to players, staff or the customers.  I'll say it again, I am certainly NOT an apologist for Ashley but if he were to take a serious interest in the football club and showed some emotional commitment to it along with a stated desire and ambition for success, I wouldn't have a problem with his continued ownership. As it is, we're in limbo again and let's hope that things are resolved quietly and as quickly yet sensibly as possible. wickywoowoo @ 60.

Like Ashley or not, there’s no doubt that the club’s in a stronger financial position now than it was before he arrived.  By the sound of it, the club was heavilly leveraged and potentially on the way to meltdown!

Ashley’s problem is not totally about what he’s done (although some of his actions do appear incredulous) his main problem is his lack of communication – whether to players, staff or the customers. 

I’ll say it again, I am certainly NOT an apologist for Ashley but if he were to take a serious interest in the football club and showed some emotional commitment to it along with a stated desire and ambition for success, I wouldn’t have a problem with his continued ownership.

As it is, we’re in limbo again and let’s hope that things are resolved quietly and as quickly yet sensibly as possible.

It's the most important time in this clubs history, bar none. It is the life blood of the city & general area. We NEED it to be successful & profitable for the good of all concerned. We need to forget the fools that put it into this seriously pathetic postion, forget ashley's dumb mistakes, forget the idiotic turnover of managers, the ridiculously overpaid prima donnas that have sucked it dry. & by force of will & overwhelming SUPPORT get it to where it belongs. A force in football & a point of pride, real pride, not the overinflated, superannuated  stuff that comes before a fall. Howay the lads!
