der Berliner 3,743 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Giving up the infamous naming rights deal will no doubt rebuild a few (if not many) bridges between SD/Ashley and the board. It would be good if someone starts talking with the support now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,183 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Giving up the infamous naming rights deal will no doubt rebuild a few (if not many) bridges between SD/Ashley and the board. It would be good if someone starts talking with the support now. It was the one thing he could give up (for the time being) without it directly affecting his cashflow. You can't trust this lot and what goes on behind closed doors. The board seem to be inferring..... We've tried to convince Mike 'Not Normal ' Ashely to give way a bit, at least prior to the AGM. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 A step in the right direction. The rst have obviously hit a nerve with their letter yesterday. Hopefully a renegotiation of the merchandise side of things will come next Ashley isn't stupid. He will know that he will not succeed without the fans backing. I'm not totally against Ashley. But he has to engage the fans and take our concerns on board. He has the financial clout that we so dearly need but their is no way that he will have our support the way thing are set up at the moment. It is my opinion that the easdales and the faceless shareholders have already brokered a deal with Ashley for their shares and his take over of the club is a fore gone conclusion. I hope Ashley sees the light and does what's right for our club . The benefits for both parties are monumental. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real PapaBear 0 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I sincerely doubt Ashley has "given up" anything. He will almost certainly have exchanged the naming rights for something. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he changes his spots and does so but I doubt it - and, in any case, he absolutely does not 'have to' 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildy 0 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 no he doesn't have to do either and his track record suggest he actively would not care to. I hope he changes his spots and does so but I doubt it - and, in any case, he absolutely does not 'have to' By all accounts, Ashley hasn't spoken to the manager either. If he has no plans to include the manager in his plans, he'll not likely have much to say to us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be good if someone starts talking with the support now. Not if he's received complete control of all in stadium advertising in exchange, bound to be a quid pro quo pardon the pun. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibmark 19 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 On the face of it, seems a really good progression has been made. "on the face of it". No doubt something else is waiting round the corner to boot us in the balls again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. While it stops another income stream if true, it remains a much lesser evil. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading this, I am reminded of the recent headlines that he was after the Rangers logo.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
