Ashley vill bli underhållen
Mike Ashley har enligt the Guardian äntligen uttalat sig om varför han sparkat Sam Allardyce som manager för Newcastle United.
Enligt the Guardian så har Mike Ashley sagt följande till News of the World angående avskedandet av Sam Allardyce:
"When my chairman (Chris Mort) told me it was time for a change (of manager), I knew it had to happen,
"I bought this club to make it a success and the harsh truth is there wasn't much prospect of that. I bought this club to have some fun and I wasn't having much fun at all.
"When I bought this club my gut instinct was to bring in my own team to run it straight away, including a new manager,
"That's no reflection on Sam, that's just the way I have always done things.
"But for once in my life I ignored my intuition and, looking back, that was a mistake.
"I want a team that is going to be admired up and down the country because of our brilliant, attacking football,
"Like they did when Kevin Keegan was in charge here.
"To date I have invested 250 million pounds ($489.2 million) to try and make it happen and I'm not the only one who could see it wasn't working with things as they were."
