huss9 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 more propaganda. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-owner-mike-ashley-vows-5546055 Newcastle owner Mike Ashley vows to prioritise cups over the league in desperate bid to win over fans 22:30, 18 April 2015 By Alan Oliver Toon fans were told at the start of the season that cups were not a priority and will stage a boycott for Sunday's clash with Tottenham U-turn: After securing financial stability Ashley will look to target the cups next season Newcastle United have finally decided to try and return to their fomer FA cup glory days - under orders from above. Toon chief Mike Ashley has made no secret of the fact he believes Premier League survival is the order of the day at St James' Park especially with the cash it bring in. Indeed Toon fans were infuriated when managing director Lee Charnley went public at the start of the season declaring that "cups were not a priority." And this from a club who were synonymous with the FA Cup in 1951, 1952 and 1955 wins at Wembley, successes which made the legendary "Wor Jackie" - Jackie Milburn still one of the greatest names in Newcastle United's history. Current interim manager John Carver has insisted that he was under no instructions about what kind of side to put out before the third round FA Cup defeat at Leicester City. This was the third time in a row the Toon had bitten the dust in the third round and in the other two of those defeats at Brighton Alan Pardew most definitely played weakened teams. This is because Ashley, much to the annoyance of the Toon Army, insisted that a top 10 Premier League finish was the only priority. But sources close to the Newcastle owner have told PEOPLE SPORT that after giving the club some much needed financial stability Ashley has decided to make a major U-turn when it comes to the FA Cup and the Capital One Cup next season and his instructions will be handed down to the head coach, whoever he may be. This and the fact that there is going to be major investment on players on the summer is the only good news coming out of a depressed St James' Park. But these will not stop the planned boycott of Sunday's match with Spurs from going ahead by some Newcastle supporters who are calling on Ashley to sell the club.

Stifler Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Was 8 years of no investment and being shit, including a relegation all part of the plan. I've heard of all before. Ashley can make me change his mind about him, but that's going to take years of investment and ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Propaganda like this should galvanise efforts really it shows it might make a difference. You almost get the feeling he thinks we should be grateful to him for letting us attempt to win a cup.

Guest chopey Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hit the nail on the head with the quote about Ashley surrounding himself with people who are grateful to him and actually need a job I just wish the supa fans would wake up a realise that Ashley needs us a he'll of a lot more than we need him and boycott vote at end of the article still shows a disturbing 34% support Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppe Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 This whole "going to be major investment on players on the summer" is fucking annoying. No there won't. And there's a difference between spending to get enough first team players to register a squad (because you've sold off everyone) and spending to strengthen the team to compete you complete mong. Edit: The mong part was for Anal Oliver, if that was unclear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is much ignorance out there with many believing that Ashley has done a good job and that us fans should know our place. How dare we be unhappy?

themanupstairs Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Wait a minute. Prioritize the cups OVER the league? Who the fuck has asked for that? Why do we need a blanket prioritization of one thing over another? So does it mean we'll not try as hard in the league, but dry our damn hardest in the cup? What the fuck is that? Assemble a squad in a sensible logical way, hire a manager with an actual personality and some footballing knowledge, and try your damn best to win every game you're pencilled in for. Fuck's sake!
