Do we think Partridge has just read this thread?

Welcome to beautiful down town sports direct lane

 

[Bladesman]

Do we think Partridge has just read this thread?

Yep.

He will then have breaking news that the deal with Ashley has collapsed. He can pad the story out for a week or so in The Star until then.

Posting a profitable set of numbers will appeal to most buyers/investors

Do we think Partridge has just read this thread?

Wouldn't be the first time he's repeated stuff from here....it doesn't take a genius to join the dots and declare we are ripe for a takeover or investment, especially after producing a good set of accounts.

 

[S64 Blade]

Alan Biggs at the Star right now… “ stop talking about American things and let’s watch the best film ever made”.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Genuine question. Does anyone care if Bramall Lane was to change names? It will always be Bramall Lane to me, but I cant say I look at the name on paper every day and feel proud its not been changed. I dont think i'd feel any anger if it did change, it would only be temporary like any ownership is.

Like St. James Park was always that to me regardless of what it was changed to by Mike Ashley.

Nope, wouldn’t bother me and I’d still refer to it as Bramall Lane.

Or maybe he just read my tweet directed to him?

''One source I trust suggests strong interest from America'' <<< i didn't realise you trusted me so much Alan!

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Send him another rumour to see if he reports that one too.

Surely it should say “kidney punch”, if they’re a Blade?

 

[Rodley]

PS - good work from the ITKer here, at least some chat about it emerging. UTB.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Hope it's Laura Ashley.

About time we had a floral, pastel kit

If it gains us a rich owner willing to invest in the club and bring us some success we've never seen, they can change the name to Piggy Cunt Stadium for me.

At nearly 50 my hope and dream is to see us just for once reach our potential.

I'm not one of those who would rather see us bum around the lower leagues claiming that we've at least maintained our heritage and dignity by not having a stadium sponsor.

“Piggy cunt stadium”

Might be step too far

Tbf everything else in the ground is sponsored. The bibs, the balls, the added time, the motm.

Just as long as its not bastard Door Deals, I’m not arsed.

 

[Blade56]

i got information from a reputable source and i passed it onwards.

You’re getting close to Demi god if the gathering rumours are true, wasn’t having a go

Be cheaper to stand on a sports direct mug outside the ground and peer over the stand.

If its Ashley it won’t take us long to grow to hate him.

I'm not keen on American ownership based on previous models in the UK in football, Simon Jordan was very critical of the Burnley takeover, which I believed involved the club's own money been used to buy the club, not sure how that happened!

As for Mike Ashley, please no! If the Prince sells to him I despair! I'd actually rather stick with the Prince than have a takeover unless it's someone with huge money and is if we're going to attract that, I just don't see that unless we get in the PL. I would imagine that nothing will happen in the short term but rather after the season is finished.

 

[S64 Blade]

Can we just remind ourselves that the only current source of the Mike Ashley rumour is Alan Biggs.

 

[Tezza1889]

I don't follow other teams that much, but I have heard of newcastle fans complaining about wasting millions on players..

Surely Ashley had to spend those millions whilst backing his manager in the first place..

What disaster did Ashley inflict on Newcastle

 

[bladesmanluke]

Newcastle fans issue with Ashely was that he was happy to just keep them in the premier league.

Something we could only dream of at the minute

 

[Blade56]

Not new for us Wilder did it

Bring back doordeals I say, new MOTM sponsor doesn’t roll off the tongue as good.

Said similar to a few at work. Mainly "rename it bumhole lane" and "I'd take a facial everytime I went to the lane from Mandingo" just to have the security and probably success that comes alongside someone who's got more than 50 pence in their bank.

I'm not even going to go into detail there Bert; I'd do your own research but in summary he owned one of the biggest clubs in the country and was twice relegated into the Championship then appointed Steve Bruce and was struggling to stay up!
