Mike Ashley


Christmas Tree

Recommended Posts

Mass walkouts are alright but really the only thing management will care about is if people don't buy tickets in the first place. Sadly will not happen, need a picketline or something

 

This is the truth. The last walkout was great for media attention but Ashley and co. can take that all day. Also sadly there always seems to be a stream of people willing to come in after season ticket holders drop out. Can't last forever I guess. 

 

However the streaming abuse Parderp got was effective. Tbh if he was getting that every week I think he would quit. He didn't dare get out of the dug out. There is only so much of that pressure a manager will want to live by.

They hate the walkouts, don't kid yourself.

Well it looks bad, for them, for the sponsors and to the media. It certainly has some effect but only if its sustained week in week out, same as giving Pardew the abuse he deserves.

 

If its not constant its not going to hurt them, they still they get their money from the people who turn up.

Too many go to the match out of habit - an excuse to get away from the wife and kids, or meet up with friends. The football is secondary.

People should be grateful - they are keeping the NE divorce rate down..!

Why would he give up on us for Rangers?

 

Our brand and the Premier League's reach is far greater.

 

Also, these 10 year deals and 7 year contracts doesn't exactly indicate that he's about to leave.

Wrong - Rangers worldwide profile is far higher than ours due to the massive Scottish diaspora around the world. They will also be far more profitable once they get regular CL football, something NUFC can only dream about.

That's wrong. The SPL gets zero international TV coverage (sans a couple CL group games every year, perhaps) while the BPL is watched by billions across the world every weekend. Whatever value the "Scottish diaspora" might have is dwarfed by the media exposure Sportsdirect gets from advertising in a PL stadium.

 

This is especially true given that actual Rangers fans would end up hating sportsdirect as much as we do.

Oldtype is correct.

when are we next on TV at home?  that's when the next walkout has to be organised for and it has to be coordinated through people like that martin fella who fucked the last one up to have any chance of succeeding

 

problem with that is there'll be 1,000's who won't want to do it in case we look bad on the telly

 

a walkout vs. one of the best teams in the country and hate spewed at pardew throughout would get attention imo

Is it Liverpool? Our class defence might struggle a bit against them you would think.

Rangers could only generate a fraction of the money we do. SPL teams get about £1m a year TV money to our £70m and the rewards for getting to the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League aren't all that great.

How the fuck are Rangers going to get 'regular Champions League football'?

 

First, they need to get promoted - and they are currently on the brink of a second insolvency event which would cost them 25 points, min.

Second, they need to win the league, and they are absolutely miles behind what is a bloody awful Celtic team

Third, they need to get through three rounds of qualification - Celtic were put out 6-1 in the third round by a middling Legia Warsaw side before UEFA sleazed them back into the competition, and they promptly lost again against... Maribor.

 

Dream on!
