themanupstairs Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 it will just be talk anyway- say they will prioritize the cups- send out a 'strong' side- mysteriously always lose anyway We know it's all talk, but they could at least make it sound believable!

Mattoon Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 It's all bluster, why, when the consensus of opinion at the top is that playing in the cups is dangerous to our league position, would he suddenly change his mind when we're not mathematically safe, struggling at the bottom of the table, after dropping out both cups?? Clearly rattled and it's all just pillow talk. The problem is, like most have said, the ones against the protest and the ones teetering on the edge of a decision will see this as a rod to strike pro-protest with. SEE he does care!

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Sunday Supplement is always tragic, man. It's the same faces week in, week out who work for nationals but don't cover clubs in one particular part of the country and so therefore have no idea what's really going on. I think Henry Winter is the only one that's ever on there with a modicum of common sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyn davies Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 media seem to ramping up against Ashley , was listening to Radio 5 on sunday morning , Henry Winterman? I think, stating they are being run like a supermarket and the only way to get rid is to cough up loads of wedge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It might not turn out a bad idea to have bought nufc in the long run and plastering his SD company all over the stadium. Your general customer at SD isn't bothered about the company and what it does. Fans of a football club care a whole lot more. Buying NUFC and running it the way he has, has brought him big rewards but will also bring him unwanted attention especailly since everyone involved in the media has realised what he has been upto with NUFC.

I'm really sceptical about how much owning us has benefited SD. I think it's a lot more to do with dominating his competitors and suppliers through purchasing and the downturn in the economy leading to a greater desire for tat. Can't prove anything obviously, just a feeling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Tbf to Sunday Supplement - there's 2 or 3 of them that are right on point. Shaun Custis derides Ashley every time he's there. Another who seemed to love Mancini, supported the S'land walk out during Palace and said us and them have been fed crap for years and shouldn't sit there and watch. Even Merson has derided Ashley. Generally we are known as a club with no hope. Nothing to aspire to. Just plodding along. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally we are known as a club with no hope. Nothing to aspire to. Just plodding along. Always great to see pundits and broadcasters take the fans' side against Ashley but it has to be someone who has a modicum of dignity. Paul Merson is a cretin. The horrendous attempts to get cheap laughs with his inability to prounounce even the simplest of foreign players names gets more cringeworthy every time he does it, the fucking toothless drunk.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I guess the Premier League won't be too happy with Mike Ashley damaging their 'brand' by turning NUFC in to s*** and stinking up the league: - http://www.nufc.com/ What is a club.... As a fractured fan base prepares for Saturday's visit to the ground, the street outside, the pub or the garden centre (delete as applicable), a reminder of what this football thing is meant to be about may be in order. And who better to turn to than the Premier League, whose "mission statement" includes the following: For football to thrive at the very highest level it takes commitment. It is about what it means to support your club home and away. It is about investing our broadcasting and commercial revenue in the best players of course, but also in wider sustainable activities. It is about using the standing of our clubs in their communities and the stature of their players to inspire young people to get involved in sport. All of this, and more, is brought about by creating the highest quality football competition possible. It is the driving force behind everything the Premier League does. Without a successful and popular League, the investment that can be made across our activities is diminished. Football fans want to see their clubs producing talented players who can compete with and take their place alongside some of the world’s most gifted footballers in the Premier League. It is that high-octane and quality-driven mix that means broadcasters, domestically and internationally, continue to invest in and produce fantastic programming and marketing for the competition. Ultimately that mix, great football combined with passionate and loyal support, is what keeps the show on the road. Both the League and the clubs will keep striving to improve the standards that have been set. Only by doing that will the Premier League maintain its position as a professional and progressive organisation geared to delivering the best possible football. If you're looking for reasons why thousands of honest supporters feel a "disconnect" with their own club, then matching the ambitions of the above with the recent history of Newcastle United may provide a big clue.
