There's loads worse. Leyton Orient, Blackpool, Coventry and Bolton have all had it worse than us in recent years. RD is a total c.... but he's not a convicted rapist, we still have a stadium and we're not in administration.
People suggesting he's the worst ever should have a look around the rest of the football league first.
He doesn’t care about money he doesn’t care about losing money he is past that point of personal wealth the asset has a net value he is happy to mess around with it probably helps against his tax liability having a loss making company that has a decent value on property and land
He is a vindictive spiteful old c u next Tuesday that’s all
when he grows bored of playing with us he will sell not before
As far as I am aware he hasn't "played" with his other clubs, why us?
There are hundreds of valid reasons to slag him off why invent more? I actually don't think his capable of any emotional out put at all.
Because we took him on and beat him embarrassing him here and at home his little I know best football experiment has failed massive
now we are an irritant and he will play and annoy us until he is ready if he was money motivated he would’ve cut his losses and run over a year ago
Didn't the Standard Liege fans do that too? How long did he mess them around because of it?
They were a tad more aggressive with their protests. RD was probably in genuine fear for his safety whereas I'm sure he doesn't feel that with us.
He wouldn't go to the play off final as he was scared and feared for his safety
I have some amazing magic beans, only $19.99 each.
It’s a quick buck really for Ashley... buy us with his profit from the Newcastle sale. Spend a few 10s of millions to get into the Prem and sell for a profit.
Obviously, spending money doesn’t always guarantee promotion but to my knowledge Sheffield Utd didn’t spend masses? In my defence I don’t study other clubs spending 😝 so if I’m wrong, I take it back 😂
Geordie fans moan bitterly that he never spends multi millions in the Premier League, but he certainly seems to invest in the team to get them there, more than once. I’d have no issue with that sort of ownership at all.
The question on Dalman is whether this is a fresh new piece of news or just their local paper finally spilling what’s been known for a while? It certainly doesn’t feel like we’re in the ‘11th hour.’
Surprised that the site that can't be talked about didn't have inside info on this, or will we get the i knew all about it but promised not to blab etc
Mike Ashley - why would anyone want that eejit anywhere near our club. Roland is certainly a sorry excuse for an owner but Ashley is, plain and simple, totally dangerous. He will bleed every source of revenue from the club and leave us high and dry. Two-shits is just clueless about football. Ashley is a ruthless businessman with a planned agenda. Just look at what he has done with Newcastle - all the Magpies I know have nothing good to say about the man. I want Roly to sell the club but I honestly think I’d prefer him to keep hold rather than sell to Ashley, purely on the basis that he could then sell to someone who will actually not inflict even more damage.
An offer is on the table and talks are said to be at an advanced stage, although the move could yet fall through at the 11th hour. Many Cardiff fans, alarmed upon learning the news, will be privately hoping that proves to be the case.
Yeah dont worry Cardiff fans, you wont need to hope!!
Bought Newcastle for £134m and inherited £77m of debt. By 2017 that debt had doubled to £152m.
Sports Direct has never paid anything towards the naming rights or any of the advertising that swarms the stadium.
Sports Direct controls club's retail operations and the club has made a net loss of £5.5m from this arrangement. Commercial income has halved, matchday income is down by a third.
In the 11 years before Ashley, Newcastle had qualified for Europe nine times and the Champion's League group stages twice. Since Ashley has been owner, the club has been relegated twice and played in the Europa League once.
Newcastle's net spend since the summer of 2017 is £1m. Brighton's is £110m and Huddersfield's is £78m.
Ashley has purchased land behind the Gallowgate for a reduced £6m and planning permission for £70m proeprty development that blocks any expansion of St James' Park.
The club's accounts are overdue and it is also under investigation by HMRC for tax fraud.
From page 1469.
This says a lot for the manager he employs then given they just finished 9 and 29 points above those 2 sides.

'Some one else handed him an old pair of shoes he had told a colleague to throw out. Dalman had bought him a new pair, offended by the holes'
No wonder he and Roland can't agree on anything.
Hope his condition improves soon

Unless he’s paying around £40m in goodwill no chance.
