Mike Ashley has confirmed he will not be selling Newcastle United until they win a trophy and that he plans to invest in the club this summer.
In an interview with Sky Sports ahead of Newcastle’s relegation decider against West Ham, Ashley admitted he did not expect the Magpies to be in this position at Christmas, but he did confirm he will look to correct the mistakes made by the club’s hierarchy this summer.
“[The club is not for sale] at any price. I am here until we win something, and when I say ‘win something’, if we ever get into a position of being in a Champions League place, that also counts as winning something,” the controversial owner announced.
“From this day forward we will be making our own luck. I didn’t envisage us being in this position at Christmas. Obviously, after the last couple of weeks I’m still a little bit shocked at where we find ourselves today.
“I will continue the policy of investing in the football club. We have got the club on a very sound financial footing, so we are able to spend and punch above our weight thanks to the current financial situation the club finds itself in.”
