Some fans seem happy to lap up all the dog shit that is spouted by the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The worst thing Ashley has done in his time here is totally quash expectations in fans, particularly the younger ones. Tbf him and his cronies have done it spectacularly well. Kills me. I'm just pleased I had the misguided years of Hall and Shepherd despite their absolutely massive flaws.

I have only really known an Ashley owned NUFC throughout my time supporting this club. I know what this club is capable of, and I know now one of the most vile, greedy bullshitters owns it. He just has to go for the all round health of the club, he doesn't want it, he won't put his money in, he needs to fuck off sharpish. I'm not letting this dampen my enthusiasm for Sunday. That may be naive, it might be fucking stupid, but I don't care. This club is my club and always will be and that fat cunt is not going to take it away from me.

"Just woke up, I see newcastle got beat, tbh I'm glad time to focus on what matters, the league!!" We're heading towards a situation where a whole generation of fans will have joined us under Ashley's ownership, and unfortunately it seems to be the young ones who are the worst for swallowing the clubs lack of ambition. We're also now in a situation where every rich man in the world knows that you can basically do what you want to NUFC and people will still pay to watch the team. Ashley's ownership could end up fucking this club for decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Most interesting or most contentious/provocative. 10 pages on here. God knows what the intelligentsia of social media are making of it. What did he actually say? In effect, the club will have to pay it's own way/be a viable business. Shock fucking horror. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
