Elliottman Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yeah, organize a protest before a replacement has even been announced. Bunch of f***ing idiots. Its not a protest, its a Pro-Chris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS IS NOT AN ANTI MIKE ASHLEY PROTEST, THIS IS TO GET OVER TO THE MEDIA AND TO CHRIS HUGHTON THAT WE APPRECIATE WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THIS CLUB.... That's not a protest. We've established he's proposing a pro-Chris (not a protest). We've been through all this, man. supporting the toon is like a shit Groundhog day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Fuck me they're are some fucking tedious cunts on this board. This. Too many people happy to whinge about things but happy to do fuck all about the situation. Was speaking to someone qualified in politics is that people protesting over the right situation is a healthy state about what people are wanting. Also since when are some many on here sensitive about media reaction, then slag them off. Too many fickle fans on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpie Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It's not a protest then. To be fair it'll be cringeworthy as fuck. As someone's already mentioned sing his name for 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Where were all the Hughton devotees when he was appointed ? Seems like a lot who were calling him Ashley's puppet, a weak man etc are now the same people wanting to protest about his departure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley appointed Hughton because he was the cheap option, which people didn't approve of. But Ashley got lucky in that he accidentally appointed someone with some competence and dignity who the fans have ultimately taken to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I think this time the world knows we didn't want this to happen, even the press have sussed that one out I think, or atleast hope. By the time Saturday comes we could have a new manager in charge and singer our former managers name won't does us any good. Hughton himself knows that the fans are behind him, sodo the players. Now though for the sake of our club and the sake of picking up points we need to get over this as fast as possible in order to bring some sort normality and stability to the club. Hopefully Fat Mike will be sorting things out as we speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 The more I think about, if there must be a protest, the stay away protest would be the best. Empty seats. No mongs for the SKY/ESPN cameras. No soundbites for the Sky/ESPN cameras. SKY/ESPN Cameras will broadcast it free of charge and highlight the empty seats. Plus, it fits in with the heavy sense of disfranchisement that's spreading amongst toon fans towards Mike Ashley's NUFC Direct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 FFS what is the point.. we are playing Liverpool and need the points.. how about we just all turn up ignore the fat bastard as any action he will just ignore anyway and just let us support the team on the pitch and hope we can get a result.

Similar could be said of the appointments of Shankly, Ferguson, Moyes etc etc. My point is there was an overwhelming and OTT negative outcry about Hughton's initial appointment by many of the people now crying about his departure. It may not stink of hypocricy but there's certainly a faint whiff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I had no idea if Hughton was equipped to manage us, and his appointment did take place at a very very negative time for the club. The thing is, now we have evidence to go on, we've seen the job that Hughton has done. Maybe people have changed their opinions, but it's hardly hypocritical.

steve_69 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 At the moment the best protest we could organise is a 'Pardew, stay away from our club' protest. If we let Ashley know we don't want Pardew here then hopefully he'd take him out of the running. If we let Pardew know we don't want him at the same time, hopefully he'll take himself out of the running. The Sky cameras are camped outside the club at the moment so it'll definitely get on Sky Sports News. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 how many times, the only way to hit ashley is in the wallet, don't go, and if you've already paid for your ticket, don't buy anything else or put anymore money into the club until he's gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 If we protested against Pardew I am absolutely convinced Ashley would appoint him, even if he wasn't in the frame beforehand. 100% convinced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man has a billion pounds FFS! If Pardew sees a protest against him getting the Newcastle job on Sky Sports News, do you really think he'd be up for the job?

Attendances aren't what they used to be so clearly some fans are voting with their feet but there's no way enough would do it to make the kind of statement you're suggesting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
