A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a post from Lee Ryder, which has relayed a statement made by Mike Ashley after HMRC discontinued their investigation into the Toon.
HMRC raided Newcastle in 2017, but that investigation has ended, and Ashley claimed that the club had been “subjected” to the investigation over the last four years.
He also claimed that it is now time for the “dark forces that are preventing this football club from becoming the powerhouse the fans deserve, to step aside.”
Ashley has launched another legal case against the Premier League over the failed takeover, but his comments have got these Toon fans talking.
“Come on now, he just wants the big bucks from the sale.”
“He is the dark force”
“Isn’t he the dark force preventing the club from becoming a power house?”
Do you think Ashley can force the takeover through?
Yes, he can do this
No, he just wants some money
Ashley now has two legal cases against the Premier League and is hellbent on forcing the takeover through that was withdrawn in July 2020.
This post continued to draw in Toon fans who had their say.
“The house of cards starts to fall….”
“Please let this mean something”
“Cans?”
“wow i almost applauded”
This is a strong statement, but some may say Ashley is the reason that the club hasn’t gone anywhere since he bought the club and some of these Toon fans are keen to remind him of that.
