Lets see how many of these fans that just have to go stick around if we get relegated and stay down

If it was Bruce that disclosed it then we can only hope it's in breach of an NDA or some other disclosure in his contract. You just know if it was Bruce and the PL find out then Ashley will throw him under the bus and he'll have to pay the compo himself

Strangely felt slightly gutted when I heard the news, was hoping we "couldn't get it over the line" to add more fuel to the fire. Now it's just more ammo for the Ashley fans, ignoring everything before, during and after to tell us we're all ingrates because uncal Mike has splashed his cash for us little Geordies

How old are you and are you disabled? As a fall back option, how tall (or more pertinently short) are you?

Thats YOUR opinion, just because fans on here keep saying it, it doesn't mean it's true. A large proportion disagree, that's the part that nobody seem to be getting. A large proportion think that the manager and players deserve the backing from the fans which is why they go to support them. Just because people on here keep saying that if you go to the games you're just as bad as Mike Ashley, that doesn't mean it's true. What part of that is opinion? We've filled the stadium for 12 years under Ashley and he's no closer to leaving so it stands to reason we need to try something else, couple in the fact whenever he's come up against dissent he's done something to appease the fans proves it does affect him, why not try for the greater good? That's all anyone is asking, if it doesn't work then it doesn't work but at least we've tried? Secondly it's a fact that if you're paying to go support the team, you are financially supporting the regime, no two ways about it, the money goes to Ashley and he continues to steer it away from the club. Both are facts, not opinion.

Seymour man, you're not stupid, you can clearly see that what people are trying to do is starve the club in hope that it will affect change. You know that continuing to go will not change anything (see Einstein) and you know that you going to "support the team" and supporting Mike Ashley are not mutually exclusive in any way. The truth is, for you and many more like you, for whatever reason, you like going to the football and won't be told otherwise because selfishly you don't want to give your weekend event up for the greater good, so you convince yourself that nothing will make Ashley leave, even things that haven't been tried because reasons, why would they? You call anyone that wants better deluded, when the truth of the matter is you delude yourself into believing we belong where we are, the 19th richest club in the WORLD scraping round the bargain basement bin, staving off relegation and losing out on cups to the likes of Acrington Stanley. Make no mistake, if you choose to go to the game, buy merchandise then you are complicit in his destruction of NUFC no matter what you try and convince yourself.

Ashley has shares now apparently:

You really can't argue with stupid can you?

My life Absolute ballsacks, bottom to the top. Presumably the same person that does the shirts?

Only because Rafa didn't play him because he's limited and a liability, sour grapes, nothing more

Sorry if Giggs, but Chopra is going all guns blazing at the moment! https://twitter.com/MichaelChopra/status/1151773790411591682?s=19

He's definitely a buffer to take the heat off Ashley like. And a "Geordie" to pacify the match going fans, full of pashun. It's already had the desired effect of fracturing fan unrest but get the feeling more have seen through it this time.

Stevebruceout.com although amusing and all is merely a distraction from the real underlying issue, we can't afford to water down our protests.

So they won't sign a 29 year old Rondon, but they will sign a 30 year old Austin? Aye, alright then!

Once we start getting thumped on a regular basis the malaise will set in and people will stop going, would be nice if they'd step away now but with continued pressure on the club from fan groups you've got to hope that the "support da teem" lot will fancy stepping out over watching 4-4-british bruce-2

Don’t see why he wouldn’t, he’s got nothing to lose. Get those vile fat bastards in the courts. Do them for tapping up and stick Bruce on gardening leave for 12 months before you release his contract!

That was like watching an exgf you never got over getting into another guy, I HATE THIS CLUB!

The problem I have with Edwards is he's contrary for the sake of being contrary, he calls it balance but there's no argument for Ashley to balance any opinion, he's purposefully inflammatory.

If only we could moan about being £40m in the black since fatty got here!

Mid to high 30k mark for the Arsenal game would be immense as a starting point! Wait until tubby bruster has his feet under the table and the L's start rolling in and I can only see that increasing

Wow. Good lad chops. Just came in to post this, hopefully they let him get his point across, well in Chops lad!

If he doesn't get dropped for being a fancy forrin. He will. 'Lightweight' 'doesn't like it up 'im 'diving cheat' etc. He pretty much gave HBA the same treatment Pardew did so I'd imagine he'll have no idea how to use Almiron and scrap him because he's not doing sliding tackles for a throw in.

Yes but in Ashley's eyes the Lada costs less in petrol and the parts are cheap so he's on to a winner, if it breaks down he can just "loan" it some money to get fixed.

Our route one pfm, kick and rush, sliding tackle, pashun puntball is going to be absolutely lifting to watch this season AND people have paid £600 for the pleasure of it Imagine spending £22m on Almiron so he can watch the ball sail over his head and hope to pick up some scraps from the resulting pinball.
