Guest ElCid Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Don't think that would work either. In days gone by when clubs were totally reliant on gate receipts to pay the bills a mass walkout/boycott of games forced chairmen into taking action. We all know TV cash is the main money-spinner and the money generated through the turnstiles, whilst not insignificant, is reducing (as a proportion of the total income). It's not beyond the realms of possibility to have gate receipts of zero and still function in the PL. The money made from the new TV deal pays the bills and any extra simply goes into the pot, the fact we only bring in players using the money made from outgoing transfers only compounds the problem. Honestly don't think Ashley would give a f*** if the crowd dropped to 5000. You maybe right but it would cause a big storm - if not well the club is just going to sink without trace very soon.

Ashley would just sanction a few more music gigs at SJP to offset that. Your average NUFC fan doesn't care anymore man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 http://www.nufc.com/ Since we last played Hull in March, we've taken just nine points from a possible 45, scored 11 and conceded 31. And this latest failure to win a game means that United have collected maximum points just once in 13 games. He's still here. it could only happen here.

Darth Crooks Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I blame the premier league/fa for allowing this money grabbing circus and pack of vultures to get involved with clubs in the first place. The game is rotten. Sooner be in the football league. Pardew would be off to pursue his deluded agenda of grandeur and Ashley would concentrate on hollowing out rangers. Fuck good players and top flight; everything had been prostituted and I want a competitive club back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Nigel Pearson can get a lad playing in the Northern League a few seasons ago to get a goal and 4 assists against Man Utd and yet Pardew gets team full of internationals struggle to draw against Palace and Hull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the Premier League would definitely not like to see an empty stadium as it would be damaging for the "brand" hence their recent initiatives to boost the falling numbers of away supporters. I don't expect they would or could do anything about it but they would definitely not be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Until people stop going on mass nothing is ever going to change and doesn't matter how many protests are carried out. Any other club Pardew would be gone a long, long time ago. The fact he is not tells me Ashley just doesn't give a f*** and in my opinion is very bitter towards us ever since the Keegan scenario.

Varadi Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Pardew's current record: 1 win in 13, taking 6 points from 39 with a GD of -20. Over a 38 game season that would give us less than 18 points and a GD of -58. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
