Colos Short and Curlies Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I would seriously suggest that any letter to Mike Ashley is not made through the press. If the Boycott club have any intention of looking into the possibility of a reconciliation then try and establish contact privately first. If you go public you will have 2 effects: (1) Ailienate sections of supporters further by appearing to speak publically for all supporters (2) Leave yourself with no scope to change your views at a later date without looking foolish No body would like being 'called out' through the media, which effectively is what you would be doing. If however you are hell bent on ensuring that the club remains in limbo until an unknown investor comes in for us then by all means make a fool of yourselves once more in public.

Benwell Lad Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Why would Mike Ashley want to speak with these idiots ? By and large the same people who were displaying offensive banners towards him and organising the pie boycott. They can demand whatever they want but it just makes them sound silly. Perhaps a public apology to from them to all NUFC fans who don't agree with their "Cockney Mafia out" agenda and who are embarrassed by it might be a good starting point before Ashley is asked to apologise for anything.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Will there be any minutes of the meeting released or anything like that?

midds Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 NUSC spokesman Michael Teasdale said: “We need to show any future owner that we can either be his best friend or his worst enemy. “We need to show we’re here to work with them, but also to show what kind of damage we can do if they treat us badly.” What kind of damage they could do? Seriously? Why would supporters of NUFC want to do damage to it? As long as they continue to come out with the likes of this then I'll have nothing to do with them. Everyone's got a right to voice their opinion but I'm not interested in damaging the club, regardless of who's running the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
