George Reynolds has just got a £2000 phone bill Faustino Asprilla Likes this

Barry Moat has £70M burning a hole in his pocket Alan Shearer likes this Mike Ashley wishes Barry Moat had £100M burning a hole in his pocket

Mike Ashley has joined the group "I bet I can find 1 million millionaires who hate geordies"

Sits and wanks himself silly on a bed of nylon trackie bottoms, counting his money

yeah i realised that after i posted, take 750k off the 22m total Wage bill also includes non playing staff, and there's been redundancies, and we've never had a permanent manager either 100 Staff Laid off, lets say ave Salary 30k, thats another £3M

Because he's going to sell off everything and pocket all the money for himself (even though that is impossible and illegal) Someone selling 52000 grey plastic seats on ebay like, username c0ckneyW4nker

Chanting Sports Direct waving your trainers in the air, or we could twirl a pair of tracksuit bottoms instead of the free scarves...............................

Some of the "unavailable" grey areas on the season ticket map will will left empty anyway such as Leazes Level 7. That map gives you the impression that they have sold those areas out. I think the crowd will be more like 28,000 if Ashley has decided to stick around Level 7 wouldn't be available as thats where the away fans are allocated. The other seats in level 7 for home fans are likely to be cash turnstiles. I reckon there'll be about 35k there plus on saturday.

Good post. A token protest will suffice, such as some boos (I'm sure boo boo and his hanger-on mates are experts at this) when he takes his seats is good enough, after that it's time to support the team properly. There needs to be an atmosphere to lift the players, not one to send them into some kind of shell and had the initiative to Reading. if there is to be any chanting against him i just hope hope its after the final whistle after support has been given to the team. however should we go a goal down i doubt many would be able to contain themselves (it's been a sign of the last few years that the crowd trying to get the team going after conceding has all but disappeared). in a perverse way i'd like to hear the crowd in a raucous "theres only one mike ashley" type thing and get him with humour as even he'd realise we were taking the piss. ..............walking in trackie bottoms wonderland. We love you Lonsdale, we do..........................

It would be quite amusing if we could co-ordinate to give everyone in the East Stand a piece of card. Just before the start when MA is taking his seat, everyone hold them up and it spelt "Fat Cockney Bastard" I honestly don't think he'll turn up, not this week anyway, unless it's accompanying the new owners.

a mock up of llambarse in liar liar would be canny!

Wonder what kind of help? Lining up JFK as manager to ease the process? Seriously though, what kind of reception does MA think he will get on Saturday. Sure enough we have to back the team but I think IF MA is to attend on Saturday, our feelings towards him must be made abundantly clear. This may act as the required catalyst to get him to put his arse in gear either way

what fuckin PR people???/ Must be the same firm Saddam Hussein used

He'll probably have JFK as the "half time hero" doing the geordie jackpot draw!

In a nutshell, although I'm amazed Seymour Pierce are still trying to broker a deal for this man. Keith Harris is well placed to explain to Ashley the gamble this would be. If, let's say he puts in another £30M, this takes his outlay to £260M. We get promoted, he gets £200M, not as big of a loss. If on the other hand we don't go up, he's looking at around £40-50M tops I reckon, his loss has nearly doubled. On top of the financial hit, his reputation will have taken a huge blow. He sells now, walks away, becomes a recluse again. He keeps us, derisory songs are sung from the terraces week in week out, some even broadcast on TV. We go up, he wins a little credibility back, we stay where we are the abuse undoubtedly continues until he leaves. If things aen't going well on the pitch, whoever he gives the job to (other than Shearer) has the crowd on their back. If it's JFK from day one, he will not be accepted back by the fans, he's made crass comments about how deluded we all are. Every way I look at this, I just can't see Ashley staying. If he does and goes with one of his cronies to run the team , he's either intent on damaging us beyond any short term repair, or being advised by incredibly stupid people

It's a joke, we're like a listed building on the verge of falling down without the neccesary repair work, with the owner wanting to hang on another year in case the price of bricks gets cheaper

Fuck me, he can't sell 5 shops, we're doomed

They reckon they'll find 500,000 people to invest £250 each. Good luck with that. I love their optimism!

If Shearer comes in, wouldn't be a bad shout. He knows him well, could get him to buy in to his vision, and his bride to be is a geordie and they've been checking properties out in Northumberland. Plus if no Premiership clubs come in for him, beggars can't be choosers

http://www.shieldsgazette.com/nufc/Four-bosses-on-shortlist-.5539379.jp Same quotes, completely the opposite though, stating that Hughton hasn't got the green light for transfers.

I would love to know if Seymour Pierce have advised Ashley as to how much the club might be worth in a years time if Newcastle dont go straight back up. He's probably not spoken to them since he put it up for sale, but I would imagine if he's meeting up this week with them it will be on the agenda.

Dog the Bounty Hunter looking for buyers as we speak

Pretty much why he will sell I think. The £100M asking price was clearly the money he loaned the club to pay off the debt. He's made a complete mess of this club, and he pretty much has to accept that he was out of his depth and walk away. At times I've even thought about these conspiracy theories that he's set out to ruin us, but I don't think even Ashley could be that spiteful, although I'd imagine he isn't liking the abuse he's receiving! He's just trying to stick it out for the best price possible, but I think he accepts a deal has to be done this week to ensure new owners have at least a little time to make improvements to the playing staff However if he does decide to stay another year, what does he achieve. Granted, if we get promoted he could up the asking price, but he is going to have to make a cash injection just to keep us going. If we don't get promoted, he'd be lucky to get half of his £100M back, plus he'd be further out of pocket. Suffice to say most people will be glad to see the back of Ashley(myself included), but the irony of the whole thing is if the youth players brought in under Ashley's watch fulfil their potential, at least he can be remembered for one good thing.

I wonder how many we get for the game If no Sale I reckon about 34k If we get sold 40k+
