Snowflake Royal Squeee could we actually get some good news please!

When do we fancy this materialising into something concrete?

BBCRB still running with Storey as the front runner insinuating he is almost over the line.

Like they know anything. The fact they're believing the charlatan's tweets tells you not to listen to them.

Aka he gave Dellor an interview, so he's the front runner.

Obviously pure speculation, but just read an article suggesting Ashley might bring back Pards if he were to take us over.

I find it incredible that anyone believes him, but they do. Probably the same people that get fleeced out of savings by Nigerian ex presidents.
The number of "what he says is true and seems like a good owner" messages is disturbing.

Newcastle fans warning us how dire it will be - have they seen our current situation? Newcastle moaning about Ashley always reminded me of Utd and the Glaziers. Maybe not investing as fans want, but not running the club into ruin. It's the entitlement of the big clubs that is the issue. He'll do just fine at a club crying out for sensible management and stability.

Newcastle fans have ideas above their station and think they should be winning the PL every season. We just want someone who will run our club sensibly.

I think I could manage to live with Ashley as owner.

Wouldn't listen to Newcastle fans, they've always been an entitled bunch of fcukwits despite not winning anything for half a century.

Yeah, I think they won the Fairs Cup a couple of years before I was born.


in fact, it's so recent only Everton, Arsenal, Derby, Liverpool, Leeds, Forest, Villa, Man Utd, Blackburn, Chelsea, Man City, Leicester, Sunderland, West Ham, Southampton, Ipswich, Spurs, Coventry, Wimbledon, Portsmouth, Wigan, Stoke, Wolves, Norwich, Oxford, Luton, Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough and Swansea have won a major trophy more recently.

I think when you pull in 50,000 every game, it's not unreasonable to think being happy with 13th is a low level of ambition.

If he took us over, and in five years we are still in League One, but stable, fans would be saying he needs to go.

under the tin I've no complaints about SCL, but I must admit "The Ashley Arena" has got a better ring to it.
Although old farts like me will always call it The Madstad. :D


It will be the Sports Direct or House of Fraser Stadium - Ashley seems to prefer to promote his business interests rather than his name.

I'm not sure he could do that without paying off SCL

Only idiots with no patience if we're stable.

50,000? So 8th in the PL attendance list? Big woop.

They're a middling top tier side who occasionally fall out and occasionally flirt with Europe. Nothing more.

It's what the UEFA Cup was called before it was the UEFA Cup.

And it was called that because it was set up as an invitation only competition for cities that had hosted a world trade fair,

Can't see it. He hasn't been successful anywhere for years and I doubt he's up to slumming it in L1 with us again.
