NG32 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 There should be no protests on Saturday. They do f*** all. Just turn up watch the game and support the f***ing team. Good post. A token protest will suffice, such as some boos (I'm sure boo boo and his hanger-on mates are experts at this) when he takes his seats is good enough, after that it's time to support the team properly. There needs to be an atmosphere to lift the players, not one to send them into some kind of shell and had the initiative to Reading. if there is to be any chanting against him i just hope hope its after the final whistle after support has been given to the team. however should we go a goal down i doubt many would be able to contain themselves (it's been a sign of the last few years that the crowd trying to get the team going after conceding has all but disappeared). in a perverse way i'd like to hear the crowd in a raucous "theres only one mike ashley" type thing and get him with humour as even he'd realise we were taking the piss. ..............walking in trackie bottoms wonderland.

ianovthetoon Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 It would be quite amusing if we could co-ordinate to give everyone in the East Stand a piece of card. Just before the start when MA is taking his seat, everyone hold them up and it spelt "Fat Cockney Bastard" I honestly don't think he'll turn up, not this week anyway, unless it's accompanying the new owners.

relámpago blanco Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think it'd be a good idea to sign pro-Ashley songs as the media would go mental. Problem is alot of the fans around whoever started probably don't understand this type of humour and would probably deck said person. I think cheer the lads before and during the game, then start the chants at full time. We should add some humour into our chants though to keep us entertained and show the world that whatever goes on we'll still be supporting the team.

NG32 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Erm, all this anti ashley stuff maybe best left until he decides not to sell again. If the club is in the process of a possible sale it might not do us any good to kick up a fuss. Once he says he cant sell it, then maybe start up again.

Just before the start when MA is taking his seat, everyone hold them up and it spelt "Fat Cockney b******" I honestly don't think he'll turn up, not this week anyway, unless it's accompanying the new owners. How about regaining some credibility by not labelling him as a cockney just this once? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 IF its only £10 million difference between Ashley and Moat, surely there would be someone who could stump up that to have a say at boardroom level. Obviously nobody buying wants Ashley yo be taking the piss, but 10mil ffs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ashley could theoretically sell off all the top players: Martins 9mil Bassong 9mil Beye 3mil Barton 4mil Colo 4mil Smith 3mil Enrique 5mil Jonas 5mil Xisco 2mil Butt 1.5mil Nolan 3mil Pocket the 50mil and sell the club for 50mil with a very low wage bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I agree SuperToon. I was speaking to someone yesterday and we were talking about Ashleys intentions. I'm coming round to the opinion that he never intended to sell and this has all been a smokescreen so he didn't have to spend any money. His value might have been deliberatly unrealistic to put off bidders. The only thing against this idea I can think of is that he's still been paying players and didn't sell players earlier in the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus thats logistically and realistically impossible to rebuild an entire squad in the next 19 days. And that assumes immediate sale. Worst. Theory. Ever!

JH Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 As if Ashley can just take £50m out of the club man It's still a UK business. I'm no expert but surely HMRC would be on him like a shot if he tried something like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
