Darth Crooks Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 He hasn't opened his wallet either and I actually want an owner to be involved - not just watch things melt to shit and go 'well he did it too' in interviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning_Linguist Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 There is no denying that Ashleys actions previously have cost the club dearly, that I will admit, but once again, we have had a s*** season (and one where Ashley has opened his wallet and proceeded to have 'nothing' to do with the club this season), we have got relegated. Yes, maybe people should blame him for appointing yet another yes man in Charnley but I fear that all the time that the fans are on Ashleys back, he is never going to go anwhere because he know it will hurt the fans more if he stays and what does he honestly have to lose apart from some 'free' advertising... That fear makes no sense. We can't get on the back of the man ultimately responsible because he may go on to degrade the club. He's done it anyway and will do when he leaves. We just need to speed that up somehow and take our medicine. Keep pinning criticism on the minions for a greater fear is an exercise in futility. and these actions will continue to make people not want to go anywhere near the club! I have been pretty much resigned to the club being relegated this season, so this is no surprise to me. What did surprise me was Rafas appointment, I would have thought that someone of his calibre would want nothing to do with a club that has so many issues yet he did. I just hope that Fans / Chairmans / Scouts actions do not make the club a no go zone for everyone, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 His decision to appoint and keep Charnley has relegated us. I'm also assuming buying players with high sell-on values and thus the age policy is also his idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good quite frankly, it'll mean that he can't throw anymore people to deflect the blame. We get good player/prospect - He'll sell them. We get a good coach; he'll fuck them over. We make a mistake, he'll repeat it. Keegan had it right when he says you can't work with them. So why the hell should we pussyfoot around him? He's not kim jong-il ffs.It's a viewpoint that just screams apathy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Can't wait for him to sell and we can rejoice in the club being bought by another self-seeking, inscrutable, greedy, unaccountable tosspot. Now that really will be progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pons Alias Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Can we ditch this stupid rhetoric? Ashley has not opened his wallet. He allowed the club to spend income which it has generated. Not the same thing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 It's interesting, because it might hopefully encourage him to sell NUFC, if he wants to keep his interest in Rangers. More likely is that he will have to tear up the Rangers stuff and keep NUFC. The Football League won't kick Newcastle out - we will bring them too much revenue and exposure.

JH Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 It's the most blatant of scaremongering. There's no way in hell that they'd throw Newcastle United out of the Football League. Despite the fact everyone will spend the next 12 months saying how much they hate NUFC and how much we think we're better than we are, we'll boost attendances across the Championship, sell out every away allocation and bring the league so much revenue and exposure as a result. They probably won't even make him sell his Rangers stuff. The whole FFP/ownership rules thing is smoke and mirrors. Money talks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
