Wasn’t it just the stadium?
Wasn’t it just the stadium?He was looking at Derby a few years ago so it isn't inconceivable that he wants to get involved again.
Tbh I wouldn’t be against him banning the Coventry telegraphY
You might want to ask a Newcastle fan what that was like ….
Team relegated under him ( and promoted ) no real investment in transfers, wouldn’t engage with the fans, banned local media.
They were protesting to get rid of him.
We get it.Sisu would have lapped up anything he offered. They 'sold' us to a skint (in football terms) cooking oil salesman
I think they were pissed off at the ground being renamed too... Something that has now become common place. I'd like to see him involved personally a lot more experience and clout than Doug. Not that I don't think he has been good for the club too!Yeh, but that’s the entitled Geordies for you. They weren’t winning the Champions League every season so Ashley was no good. In reality a lot of money was pumped into the club under Ashley, he made mistakes (Joe Kinnear) but there were/are a hell of a lot of worse owners out there.
And would this be a big deal to him if he did?Why would he lose the rental income?
It’s ok to charge your own businesses rent isn’t it?Why would he lose the rental income?
Yes. Otherwise the company that's core business is operating the stadium loses a core income stream.It’s ok to charge your own businesses rent isn’t it?
Come on Dawkins, you need to let go of your bitterness towards DKIt's been a rumour for 2.5 years now. It was bollocks then and it's bollocks now
What self respecting businessman who is worth billions would let a cooking oil salesman with no football knowledge have a go at running the club and then picking it up after him?
If he wanted us when he got the ground, he would have done without question
To be fair since Vichai died they've been run pretty bad (compared to what they were)A mate sent me a link to the Festa forum yesterday. Some of the fans now want new ownership and want the Thai lot gone.
Obviously it's no longer the dad in charge, but it did make me reflect on how fickle us football fans can be to ownership.
That's not a dig at anti King posters here. But ultimately the dream owner is massively wealthy, not too involved in running the club, doesnt appear in public
No I think he should keep itTo be fair since Vichai died they've been run pretty bad (compared to what they were)
Partly understandable, my dad once owned a car garage and if he had gone before his time I'd have had no clue what to do with it
The lad should just hand it over to someone else cause off the pitch they have lost their way massively
No, he's doing a fine jobTo be fair since Vichai died they've been run pretty bad (compared to what they were)

I was trying to keep bias aside but through Sky Blue tinted glasses I agree with youNo I think he should keep it
I’m not sure they would entirely agree.Seems inevitable he would be interested in the biggest asset affecting his investment in the CBS. Not sure how I feel about it though. Ultimately, didn't do the Toons any harm.
The rot started when the father was still there. Immediately following the premier league win they started paying way over the odds salaries to players in a bid to become a Champions league team. At one point they had the 5th highest wage bill in the league. It was a totally unsustainable approach.To be fair since Vichai died they've been run pretty bad (compared to what they were)

Brilliant!!Dawkins is so far up Oversons arse he can see saddles ankles !
After his dad died they chased the Champions League, accrued a vastly overpaid and overrated squad in doing so who absolutely flopped finishing in the Top 4 on the final day two seasons running and now they are paying the price for itNo, he's doing a fine job
They're complaining now but this is basically the consequence of them trying to live with the big boys, which they all wanted
Doesn't he also own a hedge fund?Sisu would have lapped up anything he offered. They 'sold' us to a skint (in football terms) cooking oil salesman
In that time though they flogged Kante to Chelsea and Maguire to United so their lavish spending kind of paid for itself for a periodThe rot started when the father was still there.

They are still doing it now …..
Their wage bill by 2021 was £192m a yearIn that time though they flogged Kante to Chelsea and Maguire to United so their lavish spending kind of paid for itself for a period
That money ran out and they continued to hemorrhage money on shit
Isn't Vardy on colossal salary even now, just read 140k a weekTheir wage bill by 2021 was £192m a year

They signed Conor Coady in the summer of 2023 as they entered the championship.Their wage bill by 2021 was £192m a year
We would but then again I remember people saying they be happy with mid table championship team when we were lower league and now they moan that we are not in playoffs etc lolThink we'd all take being a yo yo club wouldn't we and a few low end prem finishes
It's a multi faceted portfolio, Finance, Agri Chemicals/Livestock feeds/Agri fuel oils, cosmetics and personal grooming, he even owns some sort of stud farm in Solihull.Doesn't he also own a hedge fund?
I did a stadium tour and they said they make nothing from the club. All the income is from concerts and events in the arenaOne of Ashley’s income streams is rental from the football club. He’d lose that straight away and pick up a loss making business in the process. Don’t see him doing that.
They would have agreed to a bag of Haribo and a reach around mate, they were done financially
They may not make a profit but it will make a contribution to fixed costs I’m sure.I did a stadium tour and they said they make nothing from the club. All the income is from concerts and events in the arena
Ive got a bag of Haribo if you want to join my consortium.
It would essentially become wooden dollars.Why would he lose the rental income?
