Guest Antec Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Every decision he makes from now on will be for his own benefit irrespective of how much it damages the club. Frightening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Its a pity I don't have the money to pay for the naming rights; not that I'd keep it as SJP, I'd call it 'The Mike Ashley is a c*** Park'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Aye but someone who wont basically agree with Ashley will be forced out. Well yeah you're right there, which is why I believe Shearer didn't get the job. After the Villa defeat he came out and said the club needs massive changes. He would have insisted on funding and rightly so, but ultimately Hughton landed the job and 0 funds were put forward. It's no coincidence. The only way out of this mess is the end of Ashley's reign, and anything that suggests he's sticking around longer and signing contracts with people that new owners won't want is most definitely not good news.

Wallace Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 He is probably planning to do a "Shepherd" getting the money for the sponsorship and naming rights up front and use it to pay back the loan to himself so that the new owners will have not have that money for x years.

Guest Antec Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Just come off the phone to someone who has little interest in football and had just heard the news. She said "He's doing it on purpose isn't he" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said "He's doing it on purpose isn't he" Makes you think...I mean surely if he was to keep the club he would try and get Newcastle promoted and then sell up in the summer. But he appoints Hughton as our new permanent manager on a TWO YEAR contract that would take him until the end of the 2010/11 season. I can't see why the fat bloke would want to keep us for any longer than he needs too, if we get promoted, he can get a bigger sum of money and go, why would he want to remain associated with the club he is absolutely hated by its fan base? I mean this is just begging for violence, I wouldn't be surprised if something gets thrown at him or attacked at the next home game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToonBart Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Before Apathy sets in, lets do something.... Here is the email address of the editor of the evening chronicle. [email protected] This is something we can all very simply do. Drop him a line asking why they are not taking a firmer stance against Ashley. Ask them to start a Save St James Campaign. Might do no good but might help. I would also suggest the same for the leader of Newcastle Council [email protected] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm not one to ever advocate violence and I'm not going to start now, it's just not my outlook on life. Having said that I am amazed that so far the fat man has escaped without anyone sticking one on him. Is his security that good? Don't you wish you could go back to two years ago, when he was standing in amongst the fans, and obviously knowing how it would all turn out, deal with him there and then.

Yeh that will be just what we need, Ashley will simply take his bat and ball home if that happens and refuse to put the £20m into the club. I sometimes wonder whether we the fans are the architect of our own demise rather than Ashley. He is simply reacting to the hatred directed at him and I can't really blame him for that, because most of us would react in the same manner in similar circumstances. Perhaps the club (Ashley etc) and fans all need to see a "marriage" guidance counsellor!!!! That seems to be the only way out of this self destructive circle we seem to be caught up in.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 William Hill have just given me 50/1 that the "£20m of investment" will be spent on constructing the world's biggest fish finger. Its worth an outside bet, I wouldn't rule anything out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person who is owed money is Ashley himself. If he decides to not put £20m into the club then it makes very little difference. Ashley has created the demise himself and for you to suggest otherwise is a joke in itself. To bring 44k fans to the championship only shows how damn bloody good the fans of Newcastle United are. He is an incompetent fool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The club have admitted to lying to fans and the press in the past. And none of us were at all surprised. Suddenly he mentions 20M quid and people are talking about him actually signing players. I'll believe it when I see it. All this money he has talked about in the past, how much of it has filtered through into actual player deals? That weren't funded by player sales? As far as I can see we've made a profit in most of his transfer windows, he has spent almost nothing net on players and that is one of the main reasons we are now in the Championship. So forgive me for not giving a shit when Ashley talks about putting money into the club - because since he arrived the first team has got weaker and weaker.
