Why anyone wouldn't welcome Ashley is perplexing. he's worth £2.3 Billion, what's not to like?
Know what you mean though isn't RD now worth over a billion...
Not that I wouldn't take Ashley over RD.
And if he had wanted to he could, quite easily, have kept us in the Championship and if he had wanted to, with his available funds, given us a chance of returning to the Premier League He did not, however, care about results or league positions and that is why we are now in League One. IMO anyone will be better.
Now we know why the players went to Newcastle for their xmas jolly - Ashley wanted to meet them all & see who liked a drink. Poor Ricky could only take 10 pints & 5 vodka shots so that's why he's off.
I doubt Murray was ever leading any bid or was part of the M&M bid but may well want tooffer his services and experience to the new owners as he's done with the last two regimes.
"If Ashley’s reign does draw to a close, how will it be viewed?
Ashley’s decade at the helm may not have brought any meaningful silverware - two Sky Bet Championship titles are creditable achievements, but do not register in that column - but it has sparked plenty of headlines. Two relegations, the club’s treatment of managers Kevin Keegan, Alan Shearer and Chris Hughton, the decision to re-name St James’ Park, the Wonga sponsorship deal and a questionable transfer policy have sparked a simmering feud with fans with a fifth-place finish and one season of European football providing brief respite. The appointment and retention of manager Benitez may prove to be the most significant achievement of his tenure, but his departure would be mourned by few."
D Muir and McLeish are linked to some unnamed South Africans or so the rumours suggest.

A new owner might see him as an experienced pair of hands as well as a link to the past and, in their eyes, an appointment to get the fans on board. I wonder if they'd be aware that fans are (or seem to be) split about him?

It all makes sense.
I'm not sure about Ashley but it's difficult to understand what the problem is with him at Newcastle other than the fact he's not from Newcastle.

Is that it? Sounds like heaven to me.
It all fits.
This is a huge conspiracy which links Princess Diana, 9/11 and Brexit
