Pisses me off that. Pardew contradicts himself weekly but not one journo has the stones to list all of his bullshit like sackpardew.com has. Spineless twats who take on Ashley because they don't have to stand in front of him weekly like they do Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pons Alias Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The Media should just refused to mention Newcastle United at all. No MOTD, no Match Reports, nothing. Then see how fucking hard Ashley is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then see how f***ing hard Ashley is. Be interesting if the press started blurring out the SD.com logos when they took photos in/around the ground, and even not mentioning them anymore, and just referring to him as NUFC owner. See how he took to his precious baby not getting as much exposure in the press anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle released a statement on its official website in response to reports in The Daily Telegraph which said Ashley was willing to listen to offers to sell after seven years in control at St James’ Park.

No doubt about it. The media has no allegiances to anyone, be it managers, owners, commissioners or players. It's incredible what goes on in this country, regarding the media favourability for certain individuals. I know its all slanted and agenda based everywhere, but sports reporters latch on to to this stuff here, they'd not let Ashley live a moment. Banning media is also like the biggest no-no man. You get fined for not talking to the media, or avoiding them. Owners who say racist things are fucking forced to sell their teams up! The Keegan thing? He'd have lost the team for that. Every single fall out with us? He'd have DAILY reports, full on hour segments, comments from anyone and everyone and he'd be forced to sell b/c the MEDIA would make his Sports Direct look even worse. Investigative journalists would be salivating at the chance to uncover the so called "benefits" that SD gets from not paying advertising etc for Newcastle. They'd be calling Charnley, Ashley, his advisors, Pardew, anyone associated with the club and trying to dig into why/what his intentions are, and they'd come out with cold hard facts, and then (hell) there'd be some provision that the league could force him to sell the club. I've said it before and say it again - you all clown American sports organizations and all that, and by all means, it deserves it most of the time - but when the NBA wanted to drop the hammer on the Clippers and now the Hawks, they did it. And look who the next Clippers owner is? Former CEO of Microsoft. You'd not have cunts like Tan, Ashley, or the Venkys fools anywhere near owning football clubs as they'd have been hounded out of town as soon as the knives were sharp enough and the media could get heads to turn.

Village Idiot Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 That's an amazingly petty reason for a ban. This kind of rumours fly all over the place for several clubs. Media rooms would be quite empty if all PL clubs had the same thin skin as your owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The Telegraph and other broadsheets are not bothered about NUFC...Edwards knows the club's potential but most national reporters view the club as a joke plaything of Ashley at best and a club followed by deluded fans at worst. They have far bigger fish to fry and people have to accept that we have been peripheral to the mainstream of PL football for some years and national interest in the club is probably at an all-time low. The rest of the country believes we are a run of the mill club only there to help with PL attendance figures and the game in England would be fine if we weren't in the PL anyway - Scudamore said as much when we were relegated in 2009 and whilst I didn't believe him then, I do now. No change for the foreseeable future and interest among young kids now starting to wane.If the club was charging the equivalent price for season tickets adjusted for inflation, time etc as we did in 1995, attendances would drop like a stone.

The sports media in the US is far superior to what we have. the level of analysis in american sports is crazy mind, it's the nature of sports over there imo wondering how they are with ex-pro's coming out and criticising current coaches etc.? that loyalty holds back the english game so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
