Just post the text man if you have to at all. Posting the link and getting clicks just validates their plan to write controversial stupid shit.

Based on what? It's pointless trying to figure out what Ashley thinks or how he'll react. No one knows. It's all just guessing. All we can do is try to put pressure on him and hope he'll get bored of it and lower the asking price.

I dont think there's anyone that happy inside that dressing room. Could see in Rafa's face this was more than an organised "plot" to put pressure on Ashley. I think he's given up hoping for things to change and is just incredibly frustrated.

Haha that's a brilliant interview. NUFCTV: You got a good draw against Porto and defended really well. Now it just didnt quite seem to be the case. Rafa: No we were poor in both games. The other day we were lucky to draw. NUFCTV: Any positives to take? Rafa: No. It's not funny, dont know why Im laughing...

You want the players we currently have to do a sit out protest to try and get the club to spend money on better players who will replace them? ? right.. The letter itself is fine, until I started looking at all the logos.. their own one included. It’s pure tack. At what point did any of them ask the board here for input? This is by far the largest forum for nufc so it’s safe to say that the general opinion here covers a majority of those supporters who participate online. Lobbing a few logos of defunct groups who never achieved a goddamn thing only serves to show how amateur the whole thing is. The general opinion here might well cover the majority of online supporters but I don't think you're in that majority. You're probably not even on the same planet as that majority.

And this...

Christ. It's main idea is hardly for Ashley to read it. It's obviously for the fans to read and unite like the fan groups have. Yes, its written like a letter, but its clearly a statement of intent.

What the shit. They offered Rafa who didnt even want to go

Who's "we"?

What did he say that was misinterpreted? Sieg heil

Cos that's how we roll!

He is not a striker. Isn't he? Seems to have played upfront for Mainz. Either as a center forward in 433 or center forward in 442.

You and your lists man. My goodness What am I missing? Isn't that what Rafa has said? Nope. Rafa has said nothing about where anyone is on his list. Yes. But Rafa has said that the more time passes the harder it is to get the players at the top of his list. Not sure what's wrong or funny with him wondering how far down this guy was?

We aren't selling players to balance the books, we're selling to buy. And the only person who has advertised this is Rafa as it's his way of forcing MA's hand in the contract negotiations which is rightly a bigger issue than this window. We're selling to pay for the next relegation.

I think that it's completely the wrong attitude to discuss different forms of protest from the perspective of "is this going to get rid of him?" There's NOT going to be any one thing that does it. We just need to create a toxic environment for him and the SD brand. It's not going to happen over night or with any one protest. It has to be a combination of things and it needs to keep going until he'll decide that it's not worth it anymore.

They have 750+ stores in the UK. How many stores' sales for how many hours can you expect to disrupt? Even if there is a huge flashmob in 4-5 stores in the NE area, disrupting the store completely for 2 hours every single week for a whole year, that's 1.4% of their UK operations on an hourly basis. It's a far bigger beast than NUFC -which is why claims that his association has boosted SD's share price are fundamentally misplaced. You’re probably right but thats also quite one dimensional view of looking at it. It’s not about affecting their short term sales or even share price. You can bet your ass they start getting worried if there’s constant bad publicity surrounding their brand.

We should start ordering shit loads of stuff and return them. And repeat.

Yeah. There's not going to be any ONE THING that works. It's just getting it out there and feeding it. He'll absolutely hate the bad press he's getting now. I'm fucking sure of it. Everyone who's getting something negative about him out is helping a lot no matter how small or desperate it seems right now.

There's absolutely no way enough people would do that just like that. Probably not even with people campaigning for it but definitely not without. There's definitely a need for demonstrations. A massive need.

Agree with all of this tbf What does a boycott (with Rafa still here) achieve? Like you said the ticket money is gone anyway. Is it a form of protest to let Ashley know we want him out? Cause he sure as hell knows that already and doesn't give a flying fuck. Hurt his business and he'll take notice The boycott would only impact if people (and large numbers) had not renewed so absolutely no point whatsoever going down that route now. It's all about the negative attention. It's pretty clear it pisses him off when national media picks up on it.
