What's the point in this sale? Young, local, doing fairly decent in his current club on loan. Yet we're basically giving him away. Fuck off. Asset stripping.

What an absolute cock end you sound like and what a ridiculous comment. Superfan? Is that a new one the Ashley Out lot have coined for people who still go? Seriously, are you 10? You can do better than that. So I know a few mackems. So what? I'm from Wallsend and there is one in my street who moved here to work on the yards. Wanting to change the club? He's been here 11 years man and not going anywhere soon. You should get yourself over to The Mag. You'll be well at home there. If we keep giving him money things can only get better. Top plan. He needs to go to matches so he can call all fans that boo cunts. He prefers to be patient. A 52 year old obsessed with calling fellow fans cunts. What a prick.

Link?

Nowt much. Players just play like they did against Braga

He means as a purple.

7th. Just missing the bonuses.

Fair enough. I just take exception to this person labelling everybody as an 'idiot' and a 'cunt', just because they don't follow his view point. It's not the first time he's done it either. So your response is to call me a cunt ... ironic ... Would you disagree on my wider point that they indeed have agency and that they can boycott , that they are not incapable ? Unlike you, I respect anybody who won't go to games anymore, I have mates in the same boat......I certainly won't label them all as idiots/cunts for do8n so. I take exception to people like yourself who can only see their own way, and who then label everyone else as cunts and idiots. It's breathtaking arrogance of the worst kind......the fact that you haven't even got the courage of conviction to say it to people's faces, means I'm quite happy to label you as a cunt. Big difference. You walked away whenever and your seat was taken up by someone else, so what else have you done in the meantime to get Ashley out the club? I Walking away is all anyone needs to do . theres never been a need for protests , not eating the pies etc ... just walk away Simplistic bollocks. To my knowledge, there has never been an example in the history of football that an entire fanbase has simply walked away from a club, which has led to a change of ownership. I stand to be corrected. I totally agree with individual boycotts and any other form of protests, and have taken part and will continue to do so. Hopefully they will grow and become more varied and militant, and start to impact his businesses. Sounds to me like you've just washed your hands of the whole thing, and have taken up calling people idiots/cunts on the internet. That's not really going to achieve s great deal now is it? Scunthorpe United

Potential shirt sales in Japan / exposure to new markets etc. It’s fairly straightforward. I was kinda making that point tbh

If that’s true then I fully expect us to finish rock bottom.

Why have we signed this guy? What about him makes Ashley think he’s worth it? Hmm.........

On the right wing yeah?

Yeah, but wages. Wages.

Are you being serious? Look at his hashtag dude

Part of me wants this to fall through tbh.

But the squad is fine KaKa, right? Anything but fine as it stands with no extra players in and the shit off the field I can't see it ending well at all. It's got relegation written all over it I don't know why any of our fans are bothered about relegation. Why does it matter what league we're in when Ashley doesn't want to compete anyway? There's nothing left at the club to support (apart from Rafa).

Retweets racist shite and Katie Hopkins. Says it all. What a wanker. Is it leazesMag? (or HTL)?

Might unite the fans into action though, maybe?

Of course James, of course.

Because he'll owe them a significant amount of money if he breaks the contract. Only reason. Yeah I don't get why people keep saying "why hasn't he left?" Because he'll have to pay them £6m, that's why. Aside from him always honouring contracts, of course, but SIX MILLION QUID. There's six million reasons why he'll stick out this season. It's not difficult to understand. Is this actual fact? I know people keep quoting it, but if he agreed to that without certain counter terms i’d Be amazed.

He’s fighting from within. The second he leaves he loses that.

En-masse? Sure, all stop at once and make a difference. One guy on a forum calling for people in general to stop is not the way to win the war. It dillutes the match going fanbase to unreasonable, unreachable happy clappers that can't and won't form any part of a collective protest or boycott. Wait, so your argument is that in order to effectively boycott the games, we need more people to keep turning up? this is completely nonsensical. Go if you want but this argument is beyond weak. It makes perfect sense, don't be so obstinate Take it the logical conclusion - what's better, a stadium full of people who are an organisable group with a long-standing relationship with a club that a lot of their life revolves around, or a stadium full of people who turn up and sing 'Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle...' and go home, and turn up in 2 weeks time and just read what gets printed in the Chronicle and believe that we're a club that can never compete? It doesn't make any sense at all, I'm not being obstinate. Your positing complete fantasy scenarios. The fact is those "stadium full of people" haven't done ANYTHING so far have they? To suggest its better to have people in the ground is complete rubbish, sorry to break it to you. You even said yourself they wont stop going, so a few chants against ashely, yeah that'll do it. Sure he'll be selling it straight away. As i said before, why on earth would anyone who as you say "their live revolves around the club" want to give money to someone who is destroying it. There is no way that people who are day trippers stick around if crowds drop to 30k or under. Absolutely no chance. Absolutely spot on. The day trippers are actually the early ones to give up going. It works. It’s the only thing that works.

Can’t multi-millionaires buy jeans that fit?

I’d be absolutely amazed if some people from this forum weren’t involved in some way in this movement. However, I think it’s more damaging to do it under the banner of an Internet forum, so however they do it they get my full support.

En-masse? Sure, all stop at once and make a difference. One guy on a forum calling for people in general to stop is not the way to win the war. It dillutes the match going fanbase to unreasonable, unreachable happy clappers that can't and won't form any part of a collective protest or boycott. As the crowds get smaller, people join the exodus. I’ve seen it first hand on a much much smaller scale, but it works. It’ll take a few years though.

It’s 100% the only way things will change. It might take a long time to filter through but more and more people will stop going.
