Mike Ashley - would we want him?

He's selling Newcastle - see below.

Would we want this Walsall-born cockney as our owner if he decided to get into another club?

Only if he sold the ground to the club. Something Bonser has never entertained.

There's only one thing important to Mike Ashley and that's Mike Ashley.
Ask Newcastle fans why there's loads of Sports Direct Advertising all around their ground that the club doesn't get a penny for.
And why shouldn't he?

Dunno, can he conflate a verb with accuracy and under pressure and how's his mastery of adjectives?
Very important to the average soccerball supporter I understand.

I don't know anyone who can conflate a verb.

Is it where you have to recombine irregular adjectives and conjunctive nouns. Seems tense.

Used to have 'clause analysis ' in English grammar lessons last thing on a Friday afternoon when I was 14
in 1966. Must admit my knowledge of the dative and ablative is even shakier now than it was then.
