Kanj Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Tough one.. wait til the end of the season to appoint a manager but be rid of ashley, but also risk relegation under carver and gamble the new owner isn't a Vincent tan. If we get rid of Ashley in say, March (Just giving 60 some odd days to get this deal done) the new Owner could already decide on a new manager as early as when the money is hard and there is no turning back. Getting rid of Ashley would have a buoy effect like hasn't been seen before in quite some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I hope this decision to stick with Oldham backfires for him. Yet, he always come out smelling of roses in these situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Has anyone seen the Rangers initiative? Creating their own supporters shirts as to not give Sports Direct any money. 1500 already sold in just away colours. Say what you like about them but at least they can group together against Ashley better than we can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I hate rangers but credit to their fans for this. And to make it worse that shirt is better than any official shirt we've had in a decade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 http://redandblackshirt.co.uk/ Good on them. Was speaking to an old friend the other day, about as big a bluenose as you'll find. He said he won't set foot in Ibrox until Ashley is gone. Rangers ha e always been my most disliked club probably, for various reasons but their fanbase has really impressed me since all the shit started. I have a new found respect for some of them.

merlin Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'd quite happily pay more for a season ticket if it meant we had more ambition, i'm sure 7-10yrs ago my season ticket was over £510/£520 then. it's become far too much of a day out and much less about the whole feeling of a club 20 years ago, we were paying almost 600 pounds for an E Stand ST....in addition, many of us coughed up 500 for the 'Bond', supposedly to enable you to retain your place for 10 years...Platinum Club STs were - wait for it - 3000 quid... Ashley has piled high and sold cheap with all his ventures...he knows discerning people won't accept second-best tat, but there are plenty who will buy something just because they see it as 'cheap' - and that applies to NUFC STs now. As you say, there are many fans who would pay more if they felt the club had ambition and would re-invest money made into the playing staff but that won't happen under this regime. Chicken and Egg.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi, I'm in Malaysia and there are some rumours I hear around these parts about possibility of some Asian Consortium looking to buy into a Premiership club. No specific club name that I'm aware of for now but would not rule out Newcastle. They could be following example of Tony Fernandez and friends with QPR and the Thai chappies with Leicester. Don't rule out this possibility as many Asian Businessmen are cash rich and need somewhere to park their extra funds. Its also a source of pride (if done right) and great advertisement for their organizations. Recently, a Singaporean Billionaire Peter Lim just bought Valencia and apparently he is now the new savior and hero of Valencia fans. Still early days but Peter Lim seems to be enjoying the limelight, at least for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 i'd rather it was less affordable for the less vocal fan and would quite happily pay more for someone that showed ambition. i'm a firm believer in you pay for what you get Dunno, Barça STs are cheaper than NUFC's...
