dont speak for all liverpool fans, i speak for myself
That’s wise. Not many proper Liverpool fans, i.e. Scousers, understand Welsh.

i dont understand welsh either.......and can you tell me what a Proper Liverpool fan is??? or is it just another dig at me, rather than all football fans around the world that support teams that they dont live close to or have ever visited in their lifetime...im guessing its just yet another dig at me, rather than adding anything at all to the thread....That’s wise. Not many proper Liverpool fans, i.e. Scousers, understand Welsh.
so he didnt leave them debt free, spend over 140m in transfers in the last 5yrs ( according to the above data ). Some may call it pittance, Burnley fans would call that fantastic.........
but hey that's your opinion and this is mine.....
But your disrespecting the owner of a club that you dont support, why??? To what means does it matter to you whether he invested heavily in newcastle or not, what difference would it make to you as a non supporter of newcatle united football club???By all means, respect Mike Ashley. Your opinion is about as popular as The Sun is on Merseyside.
What a season so far for West Ham. It's going to get tough though, trying to keep multiple plates spinning and though they've got a decent squad it lacks the depth of the big boys.City finally lose a caraboa cup match after 5yrs and 4 trophies……..

i have respect for anyone who puts up money to try their best to run a football club and try as best they can to bring some joy and fulfilment to their fans…….it doesnt always work out, but at least he gave it a go. Have you????
How many clubs have you invested in???Ashley didn't invest heavily. The side was relegated twice under his tenure.
How many clubs have you invested in???
His net spend on transfers you mean…what about clearing the debt, infrastructure, stand upgrades etc etc…..are you aware of any of those things or you just looking at transfers???Well, I have a season ticket at Rugby Park, I've bought a brick in the wall there and have bought several strips over the years. I've also been to many games there, and at other grounds in Scotland, and around England too, which is investment of a sort.
Ashley's net spend over his years of ownership was £130m, which is nothing in top flight football terms. The simple fact is that all he was interested in was making money from the club, which he did. I lost count of the number of times there were rumoured takeovers which he knocked back because they didn't meet his valuation.
He's a businessman, and good at making money, which I have no problem with, but the suggestion he was any good as the owner of Newcastle is nonsense.

as for buying a season ticket for a football club you support, thats hardly an investment in the terms of buying and funding a premier league football club.
Getting a season ticket for liverpool is like getting a golden ticket from willy wonka……..I'm looking at how he run the club. Which was for a profit, and with little spending. Most Newcastle fans are critical of his tenure, and rightly so.
As for infrastructure and stand upgrades, there have been none, save for a massive TV screen. He did pay off a lot of debt left by the Shepherd regime, but that was largely because he hadn't done due diligence about the financial situation. I'd be surprised if he'd bought the club otherwise.
And no, I agree, but then I'm not a billionaire. I contribute as I can to the club I support. Do you have a season ticket for Liverpool?
Kilmarnock have a small fan base, and a large stadium, so despite not being able to regularly attend games I consider my contributions, such as they are, as a fairly significant investment.

but im not the one complaining about investement in a football club that i dont support, you are, yet you have never owned or invested in a football yourself, but critical of someone else who tried and did what he thought was best. It didnt work out and newcastle fans were unhappy about it, but what business is that of a kilmarnock supporter i dont know…
it would be like me being critical of the owners of cardiff city or newport county, when i have zero interest in their club, infrastructure or managerial model. It seems people like to be highley critical of others, who are able to do things they cant, just for the sake of it……
