Why? Would you have sacked Keegan after the Arsenal game?

We've still got almost an entire season to play. You're happy for us to drop points and edge towards relegation I take it? As long as they're forced out and have no chance to recover from their mistakes... The next few weeks of matches hardly bare much significance in the grand scheme of things. It might not seem like that but, they dont. The priory must be imo for the fans to show in every way possible, and relentlessley, that we want Ashley & co out. What is football about? Wheres the romance? Is it purley a business? Are we all fans so we can have look at nice stats about net spend etc, no I cant think about a replacement, and cant bare Ashley & co bieng here any longer... It is an extreme example I will admit but who are you to say those points don't matter - what if end up getting relegated with the difference between us and the team above being only a point or two? That would set the club back more than this debacle has. You're the one not looking at the bigger picture... I can understand you wanting Ashley out but not at the expense of the club appointing another manager. I don't know why you'd not want both to happen if possible. Imo the whole board are a con, and Nufc are discredited a fair bit as long as theyre their. And its just my opinion that a game or two of boycotting would not send us into relegation & we have good enough players to stay up. I didn't say anything about boycotting. I just find it hard to grasp that some of our fans don't care about who replaces Keegan, especially given that we've got a season to play. I just find it very hard to think past the hopeful removal of Ashley & think that we the fans have more power than we potentially realise, just my opinion like. No offense - and you're totally entitled to your opinion, don't get me wrong - but how many fan protests (not just at this club) have ultimately been successful in achieving their aim/s? Not many - because theyre nearly always not powerful enough. The anger is on quite a scale compared to a lot of things in past football potentially anyway lik,e but say if most fans boycotted the hull game, even for the 1st half, imagine it? Just imagine that message, and power & threat it would carry? Like I said, the anger of this issue might take any protests to a new level anyway, but I know your right it isnt easy, but its something thats shouldnt be under-estimated.

Aye this is my stance, I would rather we sorted out a quality manager than sit and HOPE Ashley f***s off any time soon. Just my opinion, but we the fans have more power than to just sit & hope for it. If that's the case then why did it take years to get rid of Shepherd? Or Villa even longer to shift Ellis? The only way to get anyone out will be for someone else to come along with the sort of money they're looking for, and no amount of online petitions or facebook pages will change that Just gotta hope that he decides to take up any offer that comes his way instead of declining/touts the club around for anyone interested, something he might have done originally. Like you said, will anyone come along? Its not exactly a rarity in the PL right now I'd say that.

Aye this is my stance, I would rather we sorted out a quality manager than sit and HOPE Ashley f***s off any time soon. Just my opinion, but we the fans have more power than to just sit & hope for it. Hopefully, won't get my hopes up though. Just do what you feel would help contribute forcing him out, and do it relentlessley (weather it be chanting/banner protesting (inside the found or outside)/getting the word out about sports direct/merchandise etc).

Thing is, if we do appoint someone, whoever it is, Dennis Wise is still in charge really. We're not going to appoint a manager.

Same.

Is it for sure he will be in charge v Hull?

Imo The big picture tells you - the next few games dont bare much relevance in terms of the Ashley situation. We boycott Hull game - there is only 20,000 max there, we lose, it puts Ashley in such a predicament. It backs him in a corner, & is the most ultimate 'we will not accept you here' ever. We lose (?potenitally), Ashleys position is pretty much untenable after losing so many customers, chances of him selling rocket, and potentially a take over happens. Massive lift for everyone, and weve got good enough players to kick on from there. Bloody hell man, look at our start under Allardyce, looking good, unbeaten, but look how it ended. I understand everyone POV though, its a hard situation. You wanna get behind the players aswell, and maybe show defiance in a different way. And maybe it will work. Imo Nufc lose a fair bit of credibility as long as they are there.

Bugger a replacement, we simply need to force them out before its possible. Not even contemplating one (apart from the obvious).

It doesn't really matter what they've said in interviews, it's what is in his contract that he's signed that will matter in court which is where this is likely to go. So they really are slimy b*stards

A bucket load of 'FACT... ' banners please... Utter, utter shambles, get the f*ck out the club.

Bob, you seriously don't believe that do you, honestly? If anything I think KK wanted the best of both worlds, he was very complimentary about Jonas et al and seemed excited about the kind of talent the new set-up could find him, while I'm sure he'd have liked some of his own targets brought in but I don't for one minute think that included Henry, Lampard and Ronaldinho, players he actually laughed at at the end of last season as dreamworld signings and that fans should not expect such players. Again it points to the sale of Milner for me. I was exaggerating to make a point. To put it better - Keegan wanted ready made players with an established reputation. The Board were looking at players that could be developed. To make a bit of ££ when selling them on? Its cynical, but 'cynical' really does seem to read 'truthful' now.

People we really need to be relentless in getting these lying con men out, we really do. At some point maybe 'acceptance' potentially kicks in, but that is simply not an option, we have the power, and we need to stand up big time for what is right.

Absolute disgrace, its a sham. They lied, the f*cking lied about Keegan saying yes or no. Whatever the f*ck else is said, that simply diminishes any credibility. FACT - YOU ARE NOT WELCOME, SELL UP.

Do you not agree with this mate? I know everyone has their opinion about how to go about it btw, and everyones right in a different sense A boycott at the match of however period of time is a must imo. This one game is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things & when you look at the bigger picture, however it might feel. Not that this situation dosent say we cant win anyway. But it needs to be a unique message, and short & snappy. How many times has a 'chants inside the ground' protest been seen around England? A message needs to be sent that says 'we really mean business'. Even if theres just 20,000 inside the stadium, for KO or whatever, it would hit home a message harder than anything. 'Silence' is sometimes the most deafining noise. I suggest fans chanting & protesting outside the ground for the start of the game, and then make their way in after 10, 15mins. Mass of banners, relentess singning against the board outside Shearers. And people might say, 'but it makes no difference beacause I already I have a ticket so he has my money therefore it takes away the whole point of not bieng there/for the first 10mins whatever' but thats not the case at all, its about sending a message. Its saying 'THIS is what it will be like if you stay here, we may have paid for this game - but there will be the same empty seats next game WITHOUT the tickets bieng paid for'. A visual threat. We have to take this oppurtunity and make the most of it. And we have to be relentless.

'Move on', to what? Lets search & fight for the right thing. Right now, that is having Ashely removed & KK re-instated imo.

Not think enough people will stay away?

To 'He's here, he's there' We're pissed! We're hurt! A Boycott is a cert! Ashley Out! Ashley Out! Not that it actually is a cert I know lol
