    Mike “Two Chalets” Ashley apparently owns property in the Swiss resort of Verbier. Possible link to the unnamed Swiss buyer perhaps?

    Dennis Wise will be the manager by the end of the month.

    Mike, behave!

    The Sports Direct Valley.

    If the new owners get us into the premier league I’m happy for it to be called the Roland Duchâtelet Valley with the Jimmy Seed stand replaced with the Karel Fraeye stand.... maybe not

    Is it 2011?

    Think Mike Ashley is unlikely to be involved formally in any capacity.

    If the rumour is true then perhaps after a sale of Newcastle is complete, he'd become an official part of the set up.

    Ackworth put that one out there last week.

    Didn't he (Ashley)get a few quid back off Jiminez through the courts recently?

    Was probably our money anyway. Maybe he's returning it to its rightful owner.

    You heard anything about Ashley being involved Airman?

    Nothing, but then we knew nothing of Alex McLeish and Donald Muir until they turned up last weekend.

    The original poster on facebook... what's their track record like

    He used to be a Ranger's share holder...assume this links him to McLeish/Muir.

    KR behaviour and criticism of RD leads me to believe a deal has been done.

    Please Allah, no!

    Ashley would be a disaster. Why? Because he has been one everywhere he goes. But it would make some sense. With Muir being an expert at reducing debt and Ashley demanding to make a profit each year, combined they would be a tag team of destruction. Ashley is one of the most hated owners in the world of football. To think he might be okay for us because we are small flies in the face of his history, in my opinion. He has been despised everywhere he goes almost as much as RD has. Plus, the idea he might be spending some money to own CAFC shares while he has made zero funds available this window for a PL club in a critical relegation battle, says all you need to know, if true. Ashley has taken one of the bigger clubs in England and got them relegated twice and maybe even a third time by the end of the year. Not what we need here.

    No thanks.

    Those problems are like me or you complaining about dropping high speed wifi connection while some poor Northerner still doesn't have electricity because your Belgian landlord won't pay the bills.

    I’d take Ashley in a heart beat

    I'm not too sure. Got a bit of the Jimimez's ( don't speak) and Rolys ( business not football) about him.

    I suppose he does take more of a passing interest though.

    I think he’s confused - he’s used to dealing with tens of millions, the billion figures have sent him over the edge.
