Rio Ferdinand

At least Ferdinand has never sold out.

He's jumped out. Alledgedly.

So Ashley has spent £60m on two players and when he sells the club he won't get that money back!
What a dopey fucker camel gob is

That's the trouble with pundits is they feel the have to give or people want to hear their opinion, on everything.
If he was more intelligent, he would just have to say, look I'm not party to Newcastle's finances. Ask me about football,
at least I have a minimal understanding of that.

Maybe not. He’s still an absolute weapon though.

He comes across as a coked up gobshite!

so what does he think a clubs sale price is valued on? Pie sales and fairy dust?

Cheating on his sick wife did it for me

I know he cheated before they got married but never saw anything about him cheating on her while she was sick.

Shame he didn't get the boxing licence.That way we could have watched him get smashed in the mouth.

I think it is a bit different tbf. I can’t think of an example of a pundit being as blatant as that about a player (happy to be proved wrong though?). Regardless, he’s categorically lying about what Ashley spent to get them promoted. It didn’t come out of his pocket. Imagine being a Newcastle fan listening to that? You’d be understandably furious.

Yeah I agree.

Especially as the line of questioning was directly referencing the fact that Newcastle fans had specifically called him out of his lack of criticism drawing links to his business deals with Ashley

 

[manimanc]

A pundit abusing his position on TV to defend a universally loathed owner, simply because he has a business deal with him?

Ah right, now it makes sense.
Funny you mention a pundit abusing his position on tv as Gary Neville does it religiously about the rags as does that prick Andy Goldstein on talkshite.
Only recently Neville was touting pochettino for the utd job at every given chance whenever he appeared on sky, it's scandalous.

Every time I see him I get great pleasure in remembering how I cost him £25k and a 3 match ban
