The "Cockney b******" song came out again tonight.

 

Best the utter weaklings can do either side of singing about Shola and Pardew. Cretins.

 

Ron, man. Really think this fan rage is somewhat misplaced.

 

I was looking at the screen tonight thinking "daft c***s" at those that paid money to go and watch that in the flesh, then I took a look in the mirror at someone who was sitting at home like a mug doing exactly the same. Only difference is Sky got my money instead of NUFC, which is just as bad if not worse.

 

I don't think it is at all. The fans are refusing to fight for the club in supporting this nonsense.

 

I can see where you're coming from but I think it's pity more than anger that I feel towards them. However, I've been where they are so I can appreciate why they still turn up. There are times when it's all you have, and for some people it's all they'll ever have, they live for it. I can't be mad with people for supporting the team, which is what most of them are doing at the end of the day.

 

Fair point. :thup:

 

I just wish people would see the big picture. Surely virtually nobody enjoys the rubbish we serve up at SJP and on the road these days.

but what is the big picture? everyone stay's away? won't change anything not with the tv deal it would just mean further cost cuts and bring us no closer to anyone actually buying the club which is the big issue, no one wants to.

 

Disagree - if Ashley is put into a position where he runs the risk of having to put money into the club because attendances were poor and nobody was buying merchandise, he would be out like a shot. In any case, his lack of investment in players will eventually lead to relegation and that will kill off his Sky golden goose.

Last night's result is the first step along the way to possibly being relegated.

 

Also don't agree that nobody wants to buy the club - they do, but they know what Ashley is like and they will wait until he is in a position where he cannot mess them about or hold them to ransom...Ashley isn't the only billionaire who thinks he is street-wise....as with everything else, there is always someone smarter/richer and they will come along eventually but it may take a while.

Disagree, he'll hold out until the bitter end until he gets the price he wants. And frankly if you were rich why buy an expensive club like newcastle when you can buy a biggish championship club (eg Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday or go to League one Sheffield United or Wolves) for far far less put in some small amount of investment (compared to prem) get them up and boom prem tv package.

 

Are you serious ? Leeds ? Sheff Utd? Wolves ? Since when did ANY of these clubs have the support potential - and actual -  around the world that NUFC has ?

 

Lets hope potential buyers know more about club potential than you seem to - don't argue by the way, because you'll start to look silly with that theory.

 

We also have the infrastructure in place.  Those clubs might be a lot cheaper to buy but then a lot of money would have to be spent on other things.

 

 

 

what makes people think that we are a bigger club than Leeds are just because we are a division higher

 

Leeds have had considerable more success than we have in the last 50-60 years

We're a bigger club than Leeds whichever way you choose to guage it whether it be historically, fanbase or trophy count.

He's cornered himself again. After regaining some level of trust during 2011/12, he's back to not giving a fuck. The appointment of Kinnear just confirms how little he cares. It's about having people who are just glad to have a job running this for him until he gets it sold. There would be no reason for him to appoint ambitious managers or buy expensive players, they'd just force him to spend more money. Pardew and Kinnear are both incredibly lucky to be in their respective jobs, they won't ask anything of him.

 

The longer this drags on, the more pain and humiliation will be coming our way. We need this sale to happen quickly.

 

Still feel it's drawing to a close, surely this isn't pleasant for him.

when has he displayed half a fuck what anyone thinks of him? Would that be at the sacking of a popular manager or the renaming of the ground? He will only go once he has his price and not a moment sooner regardless of how long it is before someone displays even interest in buying the club

My point isn't that he'd care. I just don't think he likes owning our club.

Hopefully the threat of relegation might.  He would get jack shit if we went down again.

I'm guessing you're referring to them winning more trophies? If so, that's not saying much. Oxford, Boro, Luton, Wigan have won stuff since the last time we did. That doesn't make them big. The potential at NUFC is massive.

I'd sell to anyone to get this poisonous rat away from the running of this club;  Al-Queida, anyone.

 

At least we could expect an occasional trip to the twin towers.

Yeaaaah, that's a bit much.

 

the 10 year rule

 

Of course, "twin towers" was a name for Wembley years before the NYC incarnation.

The negativity which Wonga brings into the club is worth the 4m a year to the fat cunt. He must value pissing us off and seeing Newcastle United's name dragged through the shite more than he values profit. What other explanation could there be , if true , of course?

Course its not true, Virgin said they'd match what Wonga had to offer if we'd had spoken to them first. If it was less they'd have said so. Dear me, any old shite gets past of as fact these days.

Does that figure include the naming rights and the money they are supposed to be investing in local area and the academy.
