Like what? Not warehousing. There's loads of that stood empty in the city he could move into tomorrow if he wanted to. More shops? They seem to struggle to let the ones already there, regularly empty units. The only possible thing is housing, does Ashely have any track record of housing...

This really needs to be challenged more. Its such basic journalism, if its a global issue why is the UK so much worse off than everywhere else.

not sure I'm buying in to the knocking the stadium down idea. I mean anything is possible but surely there's enough land available to build if he wanted to without knocking down a football stadium.

Can't be long before they get a call from Ofcom. Although that's probably want they want as they can then claim they're being silenced.

the whole thing stinks but its exactly what we expect from the council. any attempt at scrutiny and its buried. this is an organisation that when it was found they'd broken the rules just changed the rules!

By the same token he's a billionaire and doesn't need to buy a loss making football stadium. I've seen a couple of articles saying this fits well in his / Frasers portfolio but I can't see any similar or complimentary businesses he's involved in that would make it a good fit. Seems a bit odd...

If, and at the moment it's still a big if, he is genuinely taking over the club then I think you need to cut him a bit of slack. With the time the deal was done a bid for the stadium would have been the priority. If he'd spent day one giving interviews about the playing side and then a few days...

Not sure I like the bit about him needing to speak to Ashley to see if he's going to honour our lease. Is that less secure than we thought? Everyone has been saying we're fine as we've got a 10 year lease, let's hope there's not some change of ownership clause or anything odd like that.

Different Alex but this is tomorrow https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct4lhg

The problem with a lot of these increases is, at best, they're back to the levels they were when the Conservatives came into power. If there hadn't been so many cuts in the 'good' years we wouldn't be in such a mess now and be better placed to withstand the current economic situation. And of...

The rumour was CBS had paid next to nothing. it was a face saving exercise for Wasps who had spent years saying they were lining up a new sponsor, even engaging a third party to sell the naming rights, but couldn't get a deal in place. If that's true would be interesting to know if there's any...

think the Wasps shop is in the bit they got the CWG grant for.

don't think he's quite got the replies he was expecting to that tweet :D

That was exactly my point, we're not every club, we're so deep in the shit that we're welcoming an approach from someone everyone else is desperate to avoid. I'm not sure the fact that Newcastle were better before his ownership and have improved since he has left is quite the selling point you...

Ashley's ownership of Newcastle was not dissimilar to SISU's ownership of us, they just started at a higher point. 9 out of the 10 seasons prior to Ashley's involvement they finished high enough to be playing in Europe. Under Ashley they were relegated twice and only qualified for Europe once...

Says a lot about the situation that we've got people hoping we get taken over by someone every other club is desperate to avoid. The guy is basically a running joke, when there's talk of any club being up for sale their rivals give it the 'hope Ashley buys them' line.

Or they just cut the budget, sell off anyone they can and watch us slide back down to L2 while pointing the finger at Ashley?

I think the question now is how much damage is going to be done on their way out. Would anyone bet against another move? We all know that the EFL would allow it, just needs SISU to say there's no other option so its move or no more club.

no doubt this won't be good news and we'll have a few years of Sepalla & Ashley slugging it out with the club caught in the crossfire

given how shit Neighbours and Home & Away are its weird to think of how many big stars they've produced
