Leazes_End_Mag Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This summer was the ideal opportunity for Ashley to step in and change the full structure of the job. After the mess of last season, Ashley should simply of removed Charnley from his role and brought in somebody who actually knows football and would appoint a manager who would allow us to progress and be able to keep us away from another relegation battle, rather then a mate who Charnley shares a bottle of wine with. Its not unrealistic to say that even now, with our resources and financial power, Ashley could step in and wipe out this policy of appointing yes men who are nowhere near good enough to do a job and instead put together a package that could entice someone like Benitez. Its all well and good spending 60m+ on players but it defeats the purpose when the man managing them has no clue as to how to get the best out of them. All the potential is there for this club but it'll never happen until Ashley forces it. I just cant see that happening though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ashley could easily make NUFC massively successful, advertise Sports Direct and make money from the PL deal. Most of us could give him quite a realistic plan to do that. That's the most infuriating thing about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 He has a business meeting model that has made him successful in every facet of his business bar owning this club/ to which he's had obvious benefits from anyway. That won't change because everything has to follow the blue print - fuck professionalism - what's the bottom line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Oh I know, I just mean there's no reason (except his own odious personality) that he couldn't make Newcastle a massive club again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 We all know it I suppose hence the brutal apathy. Just a joyless husk. Without trying to be condescending you'd have to be deluded or thick to not see otherwise. The spending seems to have placated or impassioned a lot of fans but to me it's the equivalent of Terry Waite being given a birthday cake after spending the rest of the year chained to the radiator.

ExiledGeordie Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 He should.............. Sack McClaren Hire Moyes or someone else competent Get rid of Charnley, appoint someone who knows what they're doing ........none of that will happen because this is Ashley who is clueless and stubborn and he's failed year on year with the same bullshit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
