sempuki Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Pulis will not come here. Good Like Redknapp lives in Bournemouth and probably reluctant to move. Better than Parplop but that is not saying much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Canny article by Don Hutchison of all people: http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/don-hutchison-time-mike-ashley-7016018? Spot on that, like. Ashley is the problem, if he was bothered, we wouldn't have even got Pardew in the first place. That was the perfect time to upgrade but he didn't and he won't upgrade this time either if he eventually does decide to sack Pardew, but i can't even see that happening.

Unbelievable Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ít's not really. Nothing there we didn't already now, and quite why Ashley would bre prepared to sell up (to who anyway?) because the fans are disillusioned with a lack of ambition is anyone's guess. Fact is Ashley gets to broadcast Shit Direct to a worldwide audience every week and the club is making him a very tidy profit nowadays. He's here to stay until someone offers him huge money to take the club off his hands or it's no longer in his interest to keep us on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I was talking to a bloke at work this morning, he attended his first game in five years on Saturday against Swansea and he says he will never go back because the atmosphere was horrific with the soul ripped out of the club. I just hope its not to late to save the Newcastle we used to all know and love because the longer these guys stay the more the old Newcastle will die Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Isn't sports direct making record profits since he took over Newcastle? Can't see him selling in a long time like, unless a crazy offer came in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm close to resorting to witchcraft in order to get this chopper to sell up. I want him gone and he can take his rat Pardew with him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good article from Don Hutchison which sums up the problem well. He is missing the point though in telling Ashley his time is up and he should sell. We are exactly what Ashley wants from the club. His philosophy is that cheap is good, mediocrity is the end game because it costs nothing and provides the advertising vehicle for his brand. If you go into his stores, they look like charity shops, cheap and mediocre pandering to a consumer that wants cheap and mediocre. That is undeniable as the profits show so why would he change that? Ambition means outlay and risk and he minimises risk at every turn. Buy a club who haven't won anything for decades but turn up in 10s of thousands and have a high media profile - small risk. Employ a manager who is at best mediore, will do as he is told and is just thankful to be in a premiership job - no risk. Minimal outlay to keep the club mid table but with enough profile to globally advertise his brand - no risk. He won't sell because this is where he wants to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Didn't realise Hutchinson was a Toon supporter, especially considering he celebrated like a right twat in front our fans when we once lost 3-0 to WH. (Yeah yeah Tooj, I know Alan Shearer used to do it, too.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewJerseyMag Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ashley is the root of the cancer: Pardew is irrelevant in comparison. So long as 50,000 + turn up every week though, nothing will change. Sad to say it but many fans are as weak as f**k. Cant even get a protest together and stay away.

Sad to say it but many fans are as weak as f**k. Cant even get a protest together and stay away. Getting to be a pet hate of mine, this. Everyone agrees that Ashley is the overarching problem, but that doesn't alter the fact that it's infinitely easier to bring about a managerial change than depose a billionaire owner. Pardew is rubbish and doesn't get a free ride just because his boss is a cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
