What a hit that was

Please be ok!!!

Fucking joke of a yellow, when are we gonna get a break from officials man.

This. Don't really think theres much chance of it happening on a large enough scale while Rafas still here unfortunately but if he goes it has to happen.

Just make it up as they go along. This bit here shows how he's stealing probably in the region of £20 million a year from the club, and it's only one of many ways: To put things in perspective briefly, according to Newcastle United’s last set of published accounts (for the 2011-12 season), Newcastle United received slightly less in commercial revenue (£13.8million) than Norwich City (£14m). As for the Premier League ‘big six’ above Newcastle, Tottenham received £41.5m over the same period, Arsenal £52.5m, Liverpool £63.9m, Chelsea £67m, Manchester United £117.6m and, finally, Manchester City received a whopping £121.1m according to the estimable football finance website, the Swiss Ramble. With Ashley’s insistence that the club must stand on its own two feet, despite serving as a huge free billboard for his more important business interest, this shortfall could make it very difficult for the club to move forward both financially and on the pitch.

No-one should give him the benefit of doubt over anything, so people saying things like 'we pay less interest so he's being good to us' is pretty unbelievable. We could be paying the loan back with interest and have a more competitive squad than we do now if the club was ran self-sufficiently. The problem is we have an owner who's asset stripping and doing everything in his power to move money out of the club accounts. But lets give him the benefit of doubt eh? No.

He can go all the way to the top with his ability and more importantly his attitude. Only 21 as well ffs.

I'd be happy if we'd been honest with the manager about the budget/type of players he could sign instead of lying to him and making him waste a huge amount of time on deals we had no intention of doing tbh. So the answer would be no.

So worried having to rely on him all season. This club.

He's a quality young player who's only going to get better with experience and age. Was clear to see from the moment he set foot on the pitch for us.

He'll do the same to anyone else who shows interest in buying us IMO. We're literally stuck with him so we might as well make it as uncomfortable and unprofitable as we can. Anything anyone does makes a small difference, from not buying the new kit, not paying for Sky Sports, not buying food/drink in the ground, not using the bars in the ground, not going full stop, covering Sports Direct adverts in the ground over (or rip them up even), bringing your own banners to highlight things, boycotting Sports Direct and any of his other companies, telling friends/family to do the same, and any other measure that in itself is tiny in the grand scheme of things. As someone else has said organise groups to disrupt trade in his stores, send junkmail in massive amounts to his home / company address. Hell block his fucking driveway with a lorry or something? I know some of these are stupid ideas but between us as a fanbase we should be able to come up with something. What did Rangers fans plan/do? AshleyOut could do a lot worse than try to get support from North East journalists / ex-players etc. Might help get the message out there to a wider audience. Probably not making much sense but we need to go at ashley in absolutely every way we possibly can. Make it fucking hell for him. I think the ways and means have to be different while Rafas still here but that doesn't mean nothing should be done now at all. He's had it and still got it far too easy here.

Thanks for the heads up! Easiest money ever made just had to wait till this morning for the payout.

Rafa is a world class manager whom we all want to keep, apart from you. For someone who goes to alot of games, you seem to know fuck all about football. World class? Makes you wonder why he's letting that cunt walk all over him. I admit I'm not a rabbit in the headlights when I think of Rafa managing NUFC. I think a chimp could have got that team promoted last season. Funnily enough, I don't think many managers would have got us promoted last year but there you go. So if Rafa walks you call him a bottler or whatever, he stays and he's a coward. IMO, he's doing exactly the right thing. Not being afraid to call out the owner on his bullshit but also not abandoning the club and its fans. Thankfully, there aren't too many Newcastle fans with your views and I don't see them increasing. His views are ridiculous.

WUM.

The fight to get our club back. Yep, got a felling it'll be a very long and hard fight unfortunately, but we will get our club back someday.

Well whatever his reason initially was, we can pretty much all agree that he doesn't currently have any sporting ambitions beyond staying up. So as fans there really is no point, except Rafa. Once he goes, whats left?

Despite Sir John Hall explicitly stating so? God knows why he turned up in a toon top, probably to get gullible fans onside. As soon as that went sour though he's been on a mission to destroy any enjoyment or hope for us as a fanbase, the mans vindictive as fuck and has it in for us big time. Also it is a success as far as Ashleys concerned, how can you not see that? It is all about advertising Sports Direct, he doesn't give a fuck about sporting success (apart from ensuring we don't get to enjoy any of it, hence this Barnes bloke being brought in to actively work against our manager).

Exactly. As if he didn't actually know about the debt when he bought us. It's all smoke and mirrors. I bet this £30 million doesn't come off the debt owed to him, not even a penny of it.

You can comfort yourself a bit by taking this as a desperation for selling the club and take back his investment. It would be foolish to assume he intentions to sell the club given his repeated PR exercises pretending he wants to sell. Even if he states its for sale we shouldn't trust a word that come out of his mouth.

And that was his fault again. If he built a team that was focused on pushing for 7th and 8th every season, he would be set for guaranteed income of TV money every year without the threat of relegation and losing massive revenue streams. Its such a stupid thought process. I'm starting to come round to the idea that this is deliberate vandalism of the club. Its clearly deliberate. He fucking hates us.

He should be putting £33 million in for advertising not taking it out.

Hadn't heard that. Wheres this from?

Somehow we need the level of opposition he faced at Rangers here. It's doubtful that we can ever achieve that though.
