Vinny Green Balls

At this point, I don't care how financially stable he has made the club. This motherfucker has essentially brought in the fifth column to undermine the club and the supporters.

Defending the good Ashley has done is the football equivalent of praising Mussolini for his public works programs. It beggars belief.

Could it be any worse than the dross he served up last season? Not taking a risk is the biggest risk Pardew is taking, because it's not fucking working, and last season our backline was a sieve.

Sadly, this. We can all make banners, or have meetings, but in truth we are pretty helpless on this one. One power I do have is making football and NUFC less of a priority in my life.

I know you said £200m at the very least, but I honestly think it would need to be someone with many times more than that. Buying the club is one thing, you then have to be able to fund it to a higher level than it is now. Someone who can just about buy the club isn't what we need, it needs to be small change to them. An extreme example I know but I really shudder to think where we'd be if Ashley had sold out to Barry Moat - an enthusiastic owner no doubt but that "pieced together" finance package of his was so small time. I know that, £200m wouldn't even scratch the surface. Was just saying it's all well and good having the Ashley out campaigns, but without a buyer it's futile. It is. And there's no guarantee of someone better coming in tbh, in recent memory there have been worse owners of Premiership football clubs than Ashley. Debatable. Hicks/Gillett. Ashley is far worse than them. They still spent vast sums on players and finished 2nd in the league. And RBS once had a very high market cap and were paying decent dividends and bonuses to their staff. Seriously Neesy do some proper research on what they were doing. You could start by having a look at the sequence of events that led up to their departure. That's another thing: all the examples you have given are no longer Premiership club owners. Of the current lot, Ashley must rank amongst the worst. FFS read what I said in my original post. All of those are examples of recent Premiership owners, put a club up for sale and there's a risk that you end up with something worse. This is one of the many reasons despots stay in power. Cynical to the extreme when you fear the unknown over the Devil. I'd rather have a shot of getting somebody better than deal with this fucking lowlife owner. Like an obese vampire, he has sucked our enthusiasm for this club dry. And you are worried about the next guy being worse? FFS indeed.

well, I wouldn't expect the best to be on par with Sir Laurence Olivier though.

Indeed. It's like arguing who put in a better performance in a version of Hamlet with an all-Down's Syndrome cast.

que? I credit you for being a much more forgiving man than the rest of us, who have wanted a change of manager for a long while now.

That wonga logo is fucking abysmal

This seems to be the problem, everyone is at the moment. Shite state of affairs! Agreed, man. But when a club I support for entertainment resembles the shit that pisses me off about the real world, then where is the diversion? In fact, the whole sporting world has soured me.

10 years ago I would have been apoplectic. Now I'm just numb to it.

Well said, Mole. It really is that simple. It's not like we have a squad full of Championship level players, but he sets us up like nicking a goal against the likes of Norwich would be a major giant-slaying scalp.

Not only that. He picks footballers with odious personalities. Most likely it's that they are the only types who can stomach him. The day he somehow succumbs to a hemorrhagic fever is the day I'll name my child Ebola in honor.

And when you think that 10 years ago, SBR was our manager. And now we have this fucking Baghdad Bob

If you cannot contribute fuck off seriously, dude. Get a grip. Just a little banter. Not in the mood 50yrs old and sick of my club being a embarrassment like many more on here,what shall we do bend down and take it http://wpmedia.o.canada.com/2013/08/breakingbad_s5ep11_intro.jpg?w=627&h=330&crop=1

another season to forget.

If you cannot contribute fuck off seriously, dude. Get a grip. Just a little banter.

Sitting by a keyboard on Facebook then. look at the wonders it has done for the Occupy Movements, Iran and the Syrian rebels, etc. Facebook activism, the finest form yet

You know we are going to go in for Gomis with a much reduced offer in January. Like Marcus Crassus' fire brigades. Watch the tenements burn and offer less and less.

And you know a critical mass of facebook likes will force him out.

Or like firing Paul Reubens, and hiring Jeffrey Jones to babysit your kids.

Not only that. He's a shit manager and appears to be a shit man without an ounce of integrity.

You should be sorry. Do you see anyone else ranting?

Yet sadly, a lot of supporters are going to talk about how he has been undermined. Poor poor Pardew. Let both Pardew and Kinnear join Ashley at the even horizon.

The dude is horrible at positive spin anyway. Nothing optimistic about him in anyway, and I think it has successfully transmitted to the players. It's like they all work in a fucking Cobalt mine in the Congo.
