Happy Face Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Ashley loves having us in the news for any reason. "Sports Direct tycoon" in a write up gives him as much of a thrill as that sign on the roof. He would be delighted by protests. That's no reason tot to have them like.

David Icke - Son of God Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Reported as though it was a mass protest? Really? I'd be interested to read the stories if you have any links. This is the quote I've seen - "Newcastle United fans take to the streets to protest about club's 'lack of ambition' Angry Newcastle United fans took to the streets this morning to protest about the club's lack of ambition Hundreds of Newcastle United fans took to the streets this morning to protest about the club's lack of ambition ahead of the Newcastle United v Liverpool match . The march organised by Time 4 Change supporters' group was designed to reflect Newcastle United supporters' anger at the club regime." Now considering the papers had built this up as a test of fans' opinion, and only 400 turned up, I don't think it's fair reporting. Others may differ. Nobody expects the papers to report that the whole thing was a bit of a non-event. That's not a great story. The press will always egg things up and the club should either just take it philosophically or make their protest without resorting to an outright ban. But this pompous stuff from Douglas leaves me cold. When you get down to it and focus on the issue at the core of the dispute, they have not behaved well themselves. I don't have any idea what your problem is. I've went through that line by line and there is nothing that anyone could genuinely take issue with. It's a fair report, it's a balanced report and in the context of how much content NCJ Media produce about NUFC it's hardly OTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 We all need to get in on this, we'll never have a better opportunity to put the club under pressure than we now have. If a march is organised I'd do everything possible to attend and would encourage others to do the same. I would attend also, I think the biggest issue is getting the majority of our support out in protest or even a good 5-10k of them, doesn't need anywhere near the 50k mark but needs to be substantial to make any difference. 10k would make them think, that's over £250k per game, although with most having season tickets you would be looking to attack league cup games (No more this season after tomorrow) or targeting next season. A massive non-renewal of season tickets in feb would make them s*** themselves. I would be more than happy to turn up for a game and not go in. That would probably be best thing. People have to get over the "but don't want to hurt the team" thing because otherwise nothing will happen. Yep. Anyway, having a manager who can't teach this team how to score from a f***ing corner is much more damaging than a protest. We just don't look effective at attacking whatsoever never mind just corners, free kicks, crossing into box accurately and having someone there, knocking down headers, running at teams and trying to get behind. We play most our football about 50 yards from goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is really, yet it's been more fluke and a bit individual good play (See Remy or Cabaye) than total team effort, good build up or anything remotely nearing a coordinated approach to football.

We've scored more goals from outside the box than anyone else in the league, which was highlighted on telly as something to be proud of. It highlighs the facts that a) we have little or no presence in the box, b)e have no clue how to get the ball to our lone striker, c) we're a purely speculative side, d) thank fuck we have a couple of players who can strike the ball well from distance because had we not we'd up shit creek!

David Icke - Son of God Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Pardew's hardly the innocent party in all of this. He got the job in very shady circumstances and he knows he's onto a good thing. He'll do what he needs to to make sure he's gainfully employed for the next 7 years. This is the best job he'll ever had. If he won't walk when Joe Kinnear is dumped on him then there's no chance he'd rock the boat over small matters of principle. Spineless.
