To continue as the despised owner is not an option. Also the discontinued policy of buying youthfull players with potential. For that matter simply the discontinued policy of buying players. No , he`s outta here, may be forced into buying this window simply to ensure promotion, but it`s obvious if he can recover a decent amount of his investment, he`s gone !

I dunno chuck. We have no guarantees that ahsley is gonna sell up if we get promoted, just heresay. I can't see it me self like. He's just as likely to hang around if we get back up. Think about it, the club'll be probably worth more, he'll have to find a buyer, again. & there aren't that many people willing to take a risk atm. Ooo!

However as of right now, if he could get back a decent amount, he would dump the club in a heartbeat. Truth is there will be no substantial signings, maybe no signings if he can bring in some loan cover. It`s gonna be a gamble on promotion with what we got. Then first close offer and he`s outta here. Hope he does`nt let the door hit him in the ass ! Sure ashley has put a chunk of dosh into the club, but face it, he had no choice.

On the other hand there are others who say that he's at best invested nothing (after the original purchase), everything else is a loan he expects to get back, he's sold players worth millions (Milner, Nzogbia, Given etc), he's got crowd revenues and merchandising beyond his wildest hopes, we have the parachute payment blah blah, and now ( a new one) he's making £7 million a month. I have never been of the opinion that accounting / business is the exact science that it pretends to be, from my own experience of Finance Directors of not-for-profit organisations employing thousands of staff magically landing a budget of £750 million on the nail to within £20K at year end - yeah, right! But the extremes of opinion about MA, the NUST etc, with (as I've said) such vitriolic certainty and sarcasm attached, astonish me. Does anyone (apart from Stardust, when he's not advising God on how to run the universe) really understand the club's finances - what comes in, what goes out and the net balance? Shouldn't it be clear?
