Kevin Keegan says 5 or 6 goals in Norwegian studio

Where shape is relative?

10 at start of the season, 10 now, and 10 for the remaining games. Clueless team, due to an even more clueless manager. But most importantly, due to Mike Ashley.

let's bump this thread. Newcastle is almost as bad as those down the road.

Ah! It's absolutely terrific watching Mike Ashley's investment go down the drain. Hurts as hell as a supporter.

Just as good as those down the road. 4 mintues.. ffs... only happens to Newcastle.

Kevin Keegan, very discreetly, giving Mike Ashley the stick in studio

Really enjoyed the show today

It's going to be Godlike having Kevin Keegan in the studio ahead of the match tomorrow When Mike Ashley gets the fuck out of Newcastle United, I would love to have Keegan back under any proper owner(s).

Interesting article: http://www.theguardian.com/business/2006/nov/04/retail IT'S OLD.

Fuckin' hell that WBA - Arsenal match is tedious....

It'll be Man Utd ofc.

Under normal circumstances I'd have said Alan Pardew. But this is Mike Ashley's Newcastle. Probably the most unambitious Premier League side. Nothing, of any positive significance, will ever happen as long as he is the owner. PDC, Holloway and possibly Jol for me like.

What the fuck has happened to this lad? He was Godlike the first 6 months after his arrival....

It's already been said: dropping the games are far more effective as the media will pick up on that eventually. I'm not sure how to give him so much stick that he tries selling the club, but I do seem to recall he put it up last time because some threatened him. Now, I'm not suggesting to threaten someone's life (or their family), but wasn't that the case last time? If, as someone wrote in another thread, he has lost interest in the club it should be easier for the fans to push him in that direction. But you never know with Mike Ashley, he's come around as quite the risk-taker and careless fucker....

Now let drive this asshole out of the club!

I hear you. On the other hand, as mentioned in a few threads, the most important thing for Mike Ashley is Sports Direct and seiling kits. Local fans, and 'stereotypical' Toon fans, are actually important and free advertising 'vehicles' for marketing SD. If most people stopped buying the kits, stopped wearing the kits, that might have an indirect negative effect on Ashley's goals. I don't buy into the 'show support and love for the club' because the club is more like an ill-runned investment, and Ashley is showing you all that he does not care the slightest about anything else than money. Agree to an extent, but it's symptomatic of the problem I suppose, FWIW I'm not hammering people for going to the game. But I feel like buying that abomination of a shirt is not conducive to showing Ashley anything in regards to the negative feeling towards him. Each to their own of course Yeah. I guess what I'm trying to say is: the fans need to find an effective way to riot in order to force him out.If that includes boycotting and not buying/wearing kits - I don't know.

I know. I just typed "Alan Pardew Palace" into google. I'm not on twitter so I don't know what's been said there!

Some of you guys talks as if Newcastle is guaranteed to stay in the EPL, or even guaranteed to get promoted the next year post relegation... So those £20 million figures or something you talk about are only valid under certain circumstances - circumstances which are well on their way to disappear as they are in the hands of a clueless Kinnear, leading an even more clueless Pardew' who's trying his hardest to convince 11 players to stand up for a regime that's at best decribed as <insert fitting words> …

Yes please. His goals will keep this club up.

I think it's a trust problem. When Ashley has left people to their own devices it's come back to bite him in the arse in some way. - Allows Allardyce to sign players he wants, ends up stuck with utter rubbish on high wages - Lets Chris Mort set up a "system", ends up with the manager quitting (rightly) with the others in the system completely despised by the fans and s*** at their jobs - Gets Llambias to run the club, despised by the fans, extremely hesitant in the transfer market to the point that Ashley apparently has to step in to push through purchases in January, fails completely to increase non-football revenues & signs a sponsorship contract that pisses off everyone I don't know if Pardew was Ashley's mate before getting the job or Llambias' mate. If it was the latter then it's another reason that Ashley might not trust people to do their jobs, if it's the former then it's probably why he's still here despite being demonstrably out of his depth. For some bizarre reason it looks like he trusts JFK hence why he keeps turning to him despite him being a lunatic. Ultimately Ashley's either going to have to bite the bullet and find someone to run the club that he doesn't know and initially trust but who can actually do the job and who knows how football works or he's going to have to be a lot more hands-on in running the club. I think you're very close to the mark. Generally in his business dealings he works with people who he has known from the very start, or has known over time and promoted. It's clearly a fkn nightmare getting people in he feels comfortable with, and then when he does they turn out to have gained his trust by basically bullshitting just how good they are in a field he knows practically sod all about. I saw Sir John Hall on TV the other day for the unveiling of the gates & thought he's exactly what the club needs at this point, Ashley should beg him to come in and run things, then I realised that Ashley hates him and Shepherd for not disclosing some of the debts that needed to be repaid when the club was sold, etc. It doesn't matter if you get the right people to run the club, when the owner is a prick who's not commited in supporting them.The only solution is for Ashley to dell the club to someone else. Don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise.
