AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The makeup of the board is literally insane, this is the very elite level of football FFS. Every single person should be an expert and the best in their field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 From a cut-your-nose-off-to-spite your face standpoint, relegation would be quite funny Ashley finally invests some money in the squad - £50m - to stave off the looming threat of relegation (a miserly amount in the context of the years of squad neglect and the current market place), ships off the utterly ridiculous coaching team of Carver and Stone, then... still ends up relegated and losing his precious Premiership TV money. Double sucker punch. Delicious. It's not really even my nose tbh - it's the fans who still go/watch/care. Did he? Or just yet another case of investing in potential profit on sales? If he wanted to spend £50m staving off relegation hes far more sensible ways to invest that sort of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrolls/Cabayes etc are nice bonuses. Its naive from him to assume minimal(in numbers) spending would keep us up and happy while making money in the future. For years we have argued chronic lack of investment in key areas, its no coincidence they are still neglected despite his dubious claims Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Agree. I'm still a little upset last year wasn't the year of relegation - got really good odds early on. Would have won a grand. This year I'll have to put up £500 as stake to get such a return. They'd spawn 17th place if I did, so I'm not betting this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antz1uk Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I truly and genuinely hope we get relegated, it would serve the fat bastard right and all of those idiot fans that lapped up his pre west ham bullshit speech. This club will be here long after he has gone. even if it doesn't see him gone immediately i'd happily sit around the championship or league one until he shoved off. It may have taken Leicester and Southampton a few years to get back but i bet you their fans have enjoyed their journey more than we have this last 6/7 years.

BlueStar Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 He's cheapened everything about the club, cutting corners and putting the quickest, dirtiest buck for the least initial outlay above everything else at every opportunity - seeing things like pride, respectability, romance, fan appeal, entertainment as intangible childish folly that's not worth wasting a penny of real currency to maintain. But in doing things like allowing us to turn into a laughing stock, refusing to challenge in cups because they don't give you as much cash as finishing 12th in the league, letting us be sponsored by cunts, trying to sell the name of the ground, he's turned us into a club nobody cares about and nobody dreams about playing for or managing. And that apathy permeates right across the pitch, the training ground, the stands the boardroom and across the airwaves. He's destroyed the brand of the club, he's ruined the name of the club and turned it into a football business for whom football is not the number on priority. And because of this he's left with a desperate manager, uninterested players and disillusioned fans. In spite of what he thought when he bought us, the biggest asset the club had wasn't the stadium, the land, the advertising space or the players he could cash in on, it was the good name of Newcastle United, and he's filed that away to nowt to the point he now can't keep the team in the Premier League even by throwing a fistful of cash at it simply because it no longer has the spirit of a Premier League club.

Guest antz1uk Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 This is so amaturer, why the fuck can't a Premier League football club, the richest football league in the land, give their players official club suits .....'Where are the club suits? The players turn up for games looking like Reservoir Dogs – at least, that is, dogs dragged through a hedge backwards. Before one game recently a player stopped and asked a steward to knot his tie. Just like everything else at St James’ Park right now, it was painful to watch.'

We spend the money on the suits - where do we make the money? Are we allowed to put a sponsor on a suit? Can we make the players buy them for more than it costs to sew the badge on? If so, which Chinese company makes the cheapest badges? Can we do a deal with Sky so they're the only company allowed to film the players in the suits? What do I get out of it?

Guest antz1uk Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Are the players so impoverished they can't afford to get their own f***ing suits? They should all be turning up together in official club suits with a crest. It's highly unprofessional and looks a mess them all in different suits and tuxedos. f***ing tuxedos man, should only ever be seen in one at a formal function.
