Guest chicken little Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Textbook. A couple of good results, a few signings - Llambias is in the local paper and Ashley is in the local pub. Wonder if the lunchtime residents of the Strawberry have fallen for it. to be fair, if he'd done the same a month ago some whopper would probably have given him the wireside treatment like :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Aye, we need him to have the "feel" again. A happy owner can only be good for us. This. I still don't like him or trust him but if he's got renewed excitement again then it's only going to be a good thing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Read on twitter some guy was standing on a table singing "Get out of our club" to him. Then "Jelly and icecream when Ashley dies". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Read on twitter some guy was standing on a table singing "Get out of our club" to him. Then "Jelly and icecream when Ashley dies". That'll do a lot of good for the cause. If true. I can understand crticism of Ashley, but what exactly do those who want him "out of our club" aspire to ? Is it the once lauded Randy Lerner/ Aston Villa model, or do they still hold out hope for an NUST fan led thing ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We slate Ashley and rightly so but Blackburn, QPR, Portsmouth etc.. I think we have a good set up on the whole, just hoping they learn from things like the summer. It was good to read Llambias saying they had been too eager to stick to a certain approach which cost us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 So Ashley & Lambias were on the piss with Toon fans in The Antwerp Arms before the Spurs game, doubt we will ever see him jumping around in the Gallowgate ever again but are the ill feelings towards him subsiding?

I made peace with him after promotion. Other than renaming the stadium I don't think he has put a foot wrong. The vision for the club as a self sustainable entity is one I wholeheartedly agree with.

The vision for the club as a self sustainable entity is one I wholeheartedly agree with. This. Maybe the harsh treatment of the club during the start of his tenure all of the way down to relegation was what we needed. We were seen as a soft touch for players looking for one last pay-day and we still had, in some quarters, ridiculous expectation. Relegation tempered this massively and the perspective and expectation in the fans has changed massively. We have far more patience as a whole as fans now that we "know our lot" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I guess it's not that surprising. In football you rarely get the chance to work on the long term unless the immediate future is looking better as well... you have to look after them both.

I suppose we'd all like to think we're rational and can look at longer term objectives, but as football fans we're massively affected by week to week results and short term blips.

For example, really a sample of 5 or 6 seasons at least would be needed to judge a manager properly, but obviously that would never happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
