Sports Direct are still posting on instagram, need to educate their followers on there too.

Gonna be so funny when they do again Yep. How easily rattled are they ffs

Twitter accounts: I believe these are all owned by Ashley, we should compile them all in one place

Wankers! Bishop on the phone early then! Sorry just catching up on this thread. This is fucking shameful, our fans honestly should cancel Sky subscriptions, why feed the cunts?

Can't believe Sports Direct still haven't tweeted

I think the Adidas stripes running from the top to the shorts really set that kit off. Also the fact the sponsor is black and white. It's just a sexy kit. Ours is a bit meh in comparison.

Fair play to Fulham I say. If I was them I'd make an improved offer of around £5 million. We as fans are never going to see the fee invested in the team or even the club for that matter, so the smaller the fee the better.

That's an absolutely spectacular result considering it was hardly a coordinated reaction. Let's hammer absolutely anything he has anything to do with. This. And keep it going...and growing.

If that's aimed at me, I was only offering some context. Happy to go get fucked if it helps. You’re an absolute master at playing the victim card. Why is that? He defends/makes excuses for Ashley in every post...its remarkable really The fact that Sports Direct have altered their behaviour on Twitter (not posting today) shows that its having some effect. Anything and everything should be attempted and supported.

Liverpool fans love Rafa, maybe we could come at them with that angle and try and get them on board? Strength in numbers and all that biz. Especially when our entire fanbase has been blocked by Sports Direct etc

Think this is great to see too.

Nah, in true Ashley style he's too cheap to pay for the account to be manned 24 hours a day

If enough of our fanbase can get behind something then we do have a fair bit of power.

Feeling left out that Ive not been blocked so left a little message on their page Think it proves that attacking Sports Direct is one avenue that should be pursued though

This would be great

Guarantee there will be lots of people (the folks that choose to get their 'news' from the The Sun for a start*) now believing that Rafa is the problem. *Anecdotally, when I used to attend SJP this seemed quite a high number. Agree with this, Ashley has got it so so easy here. Spin some shit in the papers and automatically a fairly sizeable section of our fanbase believes it. He'll spin some stories when Rafa leaves and enough idiots will believe it. Unbelievable but thats where we are sadly.

It shows how easy it is for Ashley to put some bullshit in the papers and have some of our fans questioning Rafa, Im fucking astounded anyone can still give him any benefit of doubt at all. He's a fucking liar full stop.

Fair enough, and I don't believe our accounts as they've been manipulated as much as possible to hide the truth. Our wage bill increased by £38 million during a season in the Championship....not possible. Its accounting tricks as usual with this cunt.

In Ashleys world...in reality it was WELL under 100 million. The 112.2m figure included promotion bonuses and "onerous contract provisions" payment to players not in the first team but still employed by the club. So wages are probably around 70-80m total as a base before any bonuses etc. There absolutely should be money available if this was a sane world. Well I don't believe that for a second. For one the 'onerous contract provisions' takes into account future years I believe. Also, theres no way our base wage bill is anywhere near 80m. This link suggests less then £50 million for the season after in the Prem: https://talksport.com/football/308730/every-premier-league-club-ranked-their-total-wage-bill-2016-17-171109261432/ Why would anyone give Ashley any benefit of doubt though really?

In Ashleys world...in reality it was WELL under 100 million.

I was just about to add, how have we got a £100m wage bill? Unless FCB is paying himself around £40m a year that is Just to get the quote clear: Pete Graves said "someone suggested to me that the player wages were above 100 millions a year, so that's potentially the TV money gone in almost one swoop". Just speculating from hearsay, I guess. If it was over £100 million a year the club would have been fucked the season before last and would now be up in front of the EPL for having a wage bill pretty much equal to our turnover. It's clearly fucking bollocks and a PR attempt to get the stupid fans who will believe it to not support the planned demonstrations against him. Its an example of how easy it is for Ashleys camp to place false news in the media, and also how plenty of fans will just believe it because they read it somewhere. 100 million...like fuck

Chanting about the fat cunt does nothing anyway, he doesn't care about peoples personal perception of him. He only cares about Sports Direct and the free advertising he gets from the club, if some of that free advertising involved chants directly aimed at SD, negatively (obviously) it affects what he cares about most. Ashley is perfectly happy to play the pantomime villain so long as SD receives the free advertising that his ownership of the club allows, lower the value of that free advertising and you lower the value of the club to him, making a sale more possible. I'm convinced going after SD directly is the only way. I agree with this, ruining the exposure Sports Direct get is the best and probably only chance we have.

We were much better with than without him last season, but we don't have any competition for his place so thats not all that surprising really in that context. We need an alternative but we won't get one.

I’ve looked at this season’s prices on there for Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool & West Ham. All in the £45-55 bracket. Except ours which is £65. Oh right, I didn't realise ours was even up. That's bizarre. Ours is more expensive than any other teams apparently. Like some sort of personal tax on NUFC fans from our lovely owner Im guessing

Still can't fathom how this goon gets paid to play football professionally. At least it won't be here from now on though
