jdckelly Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 On the flip side, if he's making a profit, why is he going to want to sell!? so basically he's not going to sell until he gets a very good offer off someone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 This f***ing c*** should be thrown to the pigs and get eaten alive! Who Ian W or Mike Ashley? Me thinks Mike Ashley is too much of a meal even for starving pigs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'd take a relegation to rid of the three clowns. Honestly, I would rather drop down a few divisions if it meant getting good honest owners in. I could then go back and enjoy my hobby again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We're making the mistake of thinking Ashley wants a football club. He doesn't he wants a platform to advertise his shitty companies worldwide and given the coverage of the PL he gets that. Mid table is perfect for that, small squad with fewer games, no ambition to raise expectations. We either have to accept that this is going to be the way under Ashley or get out because he's going nowhere. He has the club exactly where he wants it and it serves his purpose well.

BlueStar Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I understand, I just go because I like watching 11 people in a Newcastle shirt play football against another team to see who's better on the day. And I love the experience of going to SJP, since I only go every so often. As I've said loads, if you think about the bigger picture of winning things etc then it's obviously very depressing. And that hasn't changed really for the best part of 60 years, so why it's so tragic now is beyond me. It has? As far as I'm aware, we haven't been past the fourth round of ANY domestic cup competition since Ashley took over. Pardew has won one FA cup game with Newcastle ever. When was the last time we went that long without even a cup jog, never mind a cup run? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Of all of Ashley's pisstakes, this transfer window is the biggest. There will surely be an inevitable knock on effect on attendances now. Fans won't be having this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm planning to knock up a banner. It's going to be that photo of Ashley with his shirt off at that Sports Direct party with "STATE OF THIS CUNT" written above it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What's basically happened here is that by deciding against spending the Cabaye money, the regime has effectively written this season off. Safe from relegation, no danger of qualifying for europe now, and no pesky cup games to tire out our fragile players. I'm not even an Ashley basher, I would rather stick with the devil I know if truth be told. A new owner is as likely to fleece the club as develop it. But what do we do for the rest of this season? Meander about mid-table while we keep our powder dry for the summer (again)? "danger of qualifying for europe" -- the mere fact this is true about the board's thinking is plain ridiculous. And don't agree with devil you know stuff - esp in this case. To me, its very defeatist to accept that - it could be a Tan or Venkys or it could be a John Henry. I'd take my odds on it being more in-between than as rock bottom as Mike Ashley & Vincent Tan. Not saying you are defeatist, just my opinion on that type of thought.

Vincent Tan is a nutbag of the highest order but even their fans will tell you he's ambitious about the club. In a Bond-villain way, but still cares about taking the club places (got'em promoted right away). And look at him, he just graduated! http://i3.walesonline.co.uk/incoming/article5138684.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/tan1-5138684.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Nah, no chance I'd want to see this club go through another relegation. I don't even think he would sell up if we did go down as he saw how convincingly we came back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 No one is a going to protest at the derby because they want the atmosphere to inspire the players and because it's a derby the police will be moving supporters from SJP as soon as possible. By the time our next home game has came round time has passed and the anger will subside. The derby fixture has played right into his hands so he can get away with spending fuck all.
