You're assuming that he hates you as much as you hate him.
A fair assumption I would say.
An ego-centric assumption, I'd say.
Oh well, here goes.
To be honest, the boycott all feels a bit naive. Similar to the Sack Pardew campaign - a howl of anger rather than anything constructive.
We'll soon be appointing a permanent manager, and I'm wondering what any half-decent candidate is going to make of the club. Despite the campaigners' opinion of his ability, Pardew's standing in the game was reasonably good and will only have been enhanced by events at Palace. Candidates will have seen the guy driven out by supporters and may well think twice about putting themselves in the same position.
Similarly any waverers are going to be concerned about harnessing themselves to an owner who is subject to a similar campaign.
So altogether, I expect that - as with the results of the Pardew campaign - we'll end up in a worse position.
Ashley had always had a piggybank attitude to spending money, and he's now got the club in a position where there's some surplus cash to spend. Personally, I'd like to see what he's prepared to do this summer.
People will say that we're reached the same position before, but the situation now is a bit different, and will be an acid test of whether he's prepared to spend on the team or try to recoup his previous investment.
Summer is the real test imo
