jimmymag Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Anyone giving Ashley money either directly or indirectly need to have a serious word with themselves. They are only perpetuating the misery that the fat one is inflicting on us, and the only way to put an end to it is hit his bottom line. It's the only language he understands. I still care deeply about the club, but the heart, soul, tradition and history have been ripped out of the club with Ashley at the helm. My advice is stop going to games, stop buying NUFC merchandise and cancel TV sport subscriptions. That's what I've done, and so have many others, and more will come to their senses in time.

TheGuv Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm already looking forward to cancelling my st in February! Even if we're in the top 6 my decision won't change. I'd never ever have felt like that a few years ago. I can hardly muster an excited 'GO ON!' in attack anymore ffs. So depressing on all levels atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I can't vote with my feet because I live too far away, but I'll do whatever it takes, no more merchandise, no away games in my neck of the woods, I can't even mustre the enthusiasm to watch a game on TV anymore. All the excuses for last season and people on here condoning them and the circumstances have changed but the footballs still the same. Sick to the back teeth with it all, Pardew, JFK and the fat man can all go fuck themselves, I don't even recognise this club anymore. Not even as good as palace, but then we probably can't expect to compete with them! Pfft, fucking joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Will no doubt be delighted to trouser as much of the TV money as possible. Maybe he will reward Agents Pardew and JFK with another ride on his yacht. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It's easier said than done to try and get folk to stay away, but I believe many already cancelled their s/t's during the summer. The Family Enclosure being extended again shows that he still wants to fill the ground, even if it is on the cheap. I think to be honest, expectations have been ground down so much amongst supporters, that apathy reigns supreme. Another 'gift' from the owner.

AlanSkÃrare Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Haven't been looking forward to a game since Benfica and I don't expect to do so again for a long, long time. The apathy has turned back into depression. It's utter shit to feel this way. Whilst getting rid of Pardew would go some way to bring back a bit of excitement, this man has taken away so much of my enthusiasm for Newcastle United. Our sporting ambition is completley eliminated. I don't feel as if I'm supporting a football club anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I GENUINLEY can't understand Ashley's mentality on Pardew and Kinnear. Yes, they're cheap. But any worthless material thats cheap won't work properly and will make things worse As Pardew and Kinnear have proved. Pardew gets good players and makes them FAR worse. Kinnear is....well, Kinnear Love the pic of - Rob Lee is it ? With the MAOC shirt ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I can't believe that Ashley would be daft enough to hand someone an 8 year contract with no clause in the contract to get out of paying up the full contract upon sacking. That just doesn't make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just doesn't make sense. For once I fully believe the ITK stuff about Pardew only getting a small payoff. Mike Ashley does not pay anything more than he needs to, there was no way he needed to give Pardew an 8 year contract with the risk of a huge payoff so I don't believe this is what he did. A 4 year contract would have even been excessive. *insert Jonas 'nah, no way, nah' gif here*. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Really? From everything that has been mentioned before I thought Llambias/Pardew/Carr etc.. had to go cap in hand to Ashley for every little thing? I would be very surprised if he gave Llambias carte blanche to hand the manager an 8 year contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Fair enough if they were voting somebody out of a committee but the man owns the club ffs. So did Hicks and Gillett, they were still forced out by fan pressure. were they ? I thought it was RBS and the financial shit they (hicks and gillette) had the club in meaning the bank were covering themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Glad I'm not the only one baffled. As much as I love the football club, and genuinely feel like it's a huge part of my life, I can't help but to feel a sense of apathy. Like many of you, I don't watch the games. I check the end result, and I'm always expecting the worst.I am at the point where I almost can't be arsed checking the 'rumours thread', and if I do, it is only to get a laugh at who Newcastle are linked with. If anything, Newcastle has gone backwards since Ashley bought the club. Never in my life have I felt so distanced from the club, and really come in touch with how the club is really just an investment for one person, rather than a club for the people and the supporters. And in that business sense - the only language Mike Ashley understands - I wish it all just goes straight to hell. I absolutely just wish him the worst. I do. I am not going to elaborate that last part. The club is just rotten from top to bottom. The way you witness Newcastle don't have players willing to bleed for the club, wanting to perform their best. It just baffles me how Newcastle has gone from something to nothing. Especially when I consider my 'life span' as a supporter. Coming in with Shearer's transfer from Blackburn till today. It's such a huge contrast. Considering all this, I just wish the majority of the fans took a stand... 'enough is enough'... I know a lot of you have season ticket, and that there is just 'something' that makes you stick up with this shit. Mike Ashley has given in to pressure before, when he tried to offload the club, why not turn the protests and the turmoil up a notch or ten. Do whatever you can to force him out and look like a dick in public - let them play for empty seats at home. Bet that would given him some very negative publicity.

madras Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 i don't think that sort of pressure would be enough to make him take a £100million hit which is what it would be, if not more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Canny read on True-Faith...wasn't sure where to put this so decided to put it in here as it all comes back to Ashley - http://www.true-faith.co.uk/?p=1393 From September 2nd 2011, when this was in doubt for some people: it's based on the fact that Ashley and Lambias are using our football club as an advert for Sports Direct and aren't interested in the slightest in improving us a football team, not now, not ever. and for that i want them hounded out of town at the nearest opportunity, the only way i can see anything like that happening is if journalists start to highlight what they're up to so the common fan comes round to the idea. I doubt that the benefits to Sports Direct are that massive, and the effect on their profits will be smaller still. It's good advertising for them of course, but it's just a small part of their promotional campaigns. It's certainly not worth paying £200m for. i think he's in the process of seeing that it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
