54 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The thing that annoys me most is two seasons ago when we finished 5th we were in a really good position to push on, all we needed was a few quality signing, and we could have been challenging for the top 4. Now after two summers of inactivity and one winter of signings (because we were in trouble (I have no doubt if we were not in trouble the players would not have come in)), we are now so far behind even the top seven, its not even funny, and we are all just resigned to the fact the mediocrity will do, and left wondering at what could have been.

pedro111 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The thing that makes Ashleys whole tenure even worse is the fact that there despite the constant stream of shit we have been served up are a few anomalies to cloud peoples judgement like the 5th place season and the fact that we do actually have some really good players. Its like he is purposely giving us glimpses of what could be then he snatches it back from our grasp at the last second like a dog after that juicy piece of meat. Depressing. Die fat cunt die.

Mick Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think Ashley does miss Llambias and that's why he's staying away. It's that or he expects a shit storm over the Kinnear appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 So glad I chucked it in now. Simply got better things to spend my money on nowadays.

ATB Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 So glad I chucked it in now. Simply got better things to spend my money on nowadays. Hopefully, one day, Newcastle will be worth spending money on again. I may not even be close to have spent the money that some has here, but still, I will not even consider it again as long as this idiot is here.

nufc4eva Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Why cant this cunt and his cronies just be honest. If we have no money just be up front with the fans and set expectations. If we have to sell to buy then just tell us that. Why drag out the transfer window spouting lie after lie and winding up the fans. If I was told at beginning of window I wouldnt like it, but would probably accept it if they told us reasons behind it instead of playing this game. So frustrating that we dont want to improve as a team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That statement where they said the plan was bring through youth players, sell at profit, not spend more than we bring in from transfers and compete for top 10. It's fucking soul destroying to think even with the additional income that he's sticking with it, but the club told us 3 years ago this would happen.

It's f***ing soul destroying to think even with the additional income that he's sticking with it, but the club told us 3 years ago this would happen. Yet to see the bring through youth really as Pardew keeps saying their not good enough, I thought the whole point was to be sustainable and within our means, surely £60 million tv money enough to fund a couple of players. Also the sell at profit not really happening at this point and neither do we look like competing for top 10. True they said that but have hardly geared up to achieve it. We have some good players, we probably have some reasonable youth players but we have the totally wrong manager and director of football to create that ecosystem of youth players coming through and sell for profit.

Dr Venkman Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Still astounded that fans who have the club's best interests at heart see fit to keep giving this bloke their money.

Big Geordie Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 He's got the season ticket money for this season, so he's not bothered about that. Crunch time will come at renewal time, next year as I can see this being the wake up moment for many. Someone said that the only thing that would make him consider selling up, is a huge drop in season ticket sales. I believe that time will come. His precious free advertising won't look too good in front of a half empty ground for a PL game. So pleased I no longer put money into this club, as hard as it is to stay away.

It would not be a hardship to give up a season ticket for a year or two for the greater good of making fat boy run when his profits dip,buying Wonga advertising based merchandise should be one thing imho but everyone has there reasons for buying tops etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew Ba had a release clause which could have been triggered, and £9m to replace a £35m with the potential to sell at a profit in the future is right up Ashley's street.
