Max/BEEFY, this is getting very repetitive. When Ashley took over Newcastle were better off financially than the majority of clubs, including Sunderland. There were the 13 th richest club in the world with a debt ratio of 40%. To "go to the wall", as you say, would entail a debt ratio of over 100%. Ashley took over the debt, so all interest would be owed to him, NOT the banks. He is currently doing the same at Rangers, turning it into his personal cash cow. Your obsession with Newcastle, and not accepting facts makes you look very childish indeed.
Ps, the Glaziers pumped in over £500,000,000
