Away Toon Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 A long, too long, excellent but absolutely depressing look at Ashley's NUFC. Until this fat Capitilist wanker is gone we have no cub to support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Today's Guardian Newcastle United under Mike Ashley: billboard for cheapness or empire of hopes and dreams? Newcastle’s balance sheet is healthy but as the club heads into Sunday’s derby at Sunderland there is widespread disillusionment among fans amid a feeling that the pursuit of glory has been sacrificed for the pursuit of profit Read here: http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/apr/03/newcastle-united-mike-ashley-david-conn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Typically of Ashley’s regime, the renaming was done with no frills: the old St James’ Park sign was simply crowbarred off. The council’s vote to oppose the renaming brought Llambias storming down to the civic centre offices. “Before I had even got out of my chair his finger was jabbing in my face,” Forbes recalls. “He said: ‘Who the fucking hell do you think you are?’ I have to say I was taken aback.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good article but basically what a lot of us have known for a while now Yeah but the national hacks have ignored stating we're never happy so this makes a nice change. A lot of them have ignored simply because 50,000 sheep turning up for every home game makes them think that things can't be that bad, I chucked my ST straight after KK was fucked over by Ashley and Co. I suppose I could see that the future was not quite as bright under Mike as Beardsley tried to make us believe at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Of all the comments anyone could possibly make in response to what was, presumably, a fairly open-ended question - Shepherd chooses to have a pop at the fans, as well as making misguided comments about the financial structure the club sits in under Ashley. Additionally, he can fuck off citing some supposedly achievable dream that could have saved us from Ashley's wrath. We're in the fire now but the time under that idiot had become the frying pan.

Dave Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Anyway, back to the really important stuff. Great news guys: 19 of our 38 Premier League fixtures this season will have been shown live (12 on Sky, 7 on BT). That compares to 14 in 2013/14, 16 in 2012/13, 18 in 2011/12 and 16 in 2010/11. Think of the facility fees! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
