Title: Thank God He's Not Our Owner.
Post by: The Laughing Policeman on September 04, 2011, 09:04:58 AM
After all the stick Randy has been getting in the last few months for trying to set the club back on a sound financial footing and some of the calls for him to sell up.
Just look at the type of person we could have ruining our club.
Sorry can't do short links. :-[

I don't see why the Geordies are so anti-Ashley. I mean, look at that physique - he's the spit of many of their fans.

Amazes me how the Papers will report people that are in the public eye do stuff like this when they are pissed, and people then get on their high horses about how they shouldn't do it, despite the fact that loads of non-celeb people have done this for years and it's "just for laughs". A bit like with Prince Harry in the nightclub during the week.

It's all very well saying "we've all done it" and yes my hand goes up on that. But we don't all own football clubs or large businesses where you are supposed to lead by example.
Is it no wonder that some of their players seemed to think it was ok to get pissed and act like a moron in public.?
And those of you who don't mind this sort of thing, if that was Randy I bet you'd all be on here ranting about the dignity of the club being lost, and that our owner shouldn't behave like that.

When people in Britain are struggling to make ends meet then you see this idiot pissing 2g up a wall in his pants while he bleeds a proud football club dry, I imagine the Geordies will be as excited about this as when Shefki Kuqi signed. They're just apathetic towards him now nothing they can do to get rid and are just waiting for a freak yachting accident or similar.

It would be nice to anything of Randy,good or bad.This game of hide and seek with the media is getting very tedious  and boring.

Oh come on, he was out on the piss with his mates. You have to allow him a bit of slack surely, the slack wanker?

They've got EXACTLY the kind of owner they all deserve, absolutely hilarious. They all thought he was great when he was standing on the terraces with them.

I feel sorry for Randy what ever he does he can't win with some!!
Laughing Policeman's right, If he was doing this sort of thing supporters would be up in arms. Quite right too, in my opinion.
And because he's not, he's playing "Hide & Seek".  Increadible!!
Remember, we could have had Carson Yung??
Becareful what you wish for!!

Yes that's the reason we are getting turned over in the press day after day.
If Randy came round your house and shit through your letterbox you would thank him.

No comparison really. Randy is a very different character.
Ashley is bigger than life and he has made his money doing the things he does. His staff love him and  yes he did pay the bill.
It was a party with all his workers. Nothing to do with any one else. I wish the papers would keep their nose out of it or more to the point the disloyal  bastard who sent the pictures to them  but was quite happy to enjoy his money.

Regardless of Ashley's stripping antics, I'm happy his not our owner. Yes, Randy's running of the club is far from perfect (especially the recent implementation of the austerity regime), but Mike Ashley is a good reminder that things could have been much, much worse.

Im glad he is not our owner but the bloke looks a good laugh to be honest and is probably a generous decent bloke .

Call me old fashioned but that kind of fun should be out of sight of your employees. Sure, have a rep for that sort of thing and of having fun when younger but once you lead an organisation you " lead by example", and be apart from it. When the fun starts at the Christmas party - leave with a knowing smile and "have a great time".

'cause it doesn't help when the press are waiting for the candid shot. But.

Agree with above. Ashley is an arrogant buffoon.

He did but the press couldn't find him to ask.I had a nice letter of Paul Faulkner explaining that Randy couldn't afford any toilet paper or a toilet.

Not wanting to get too political.... but Prince Harry is an heir to the throne. He has an obligation to not make himself look like a twat in public.

Rubbish, as heir to the throne he can do what the fuck he wants, his only obligation should be to declare war on France.

Spot on.

Not sure what the issue with Ashley is there either, plus he seems to have built a decent squad up there now.

£2000 on the bar bill?
If I was there and known that he was footing the bill, I would've drunk that amount myself.

The only thing I object to is the size of his gut.

A man with that size of guttage should keep his shirt ON !

Should have gone to Weight Watchers.
