Fair enough (let's discount the fact that we didn't really want to be in either as well).

We all interpret what the club says in our own way. We all read between the lines differently. Clubs says winning a cup isn't a priority. You might think that means we don't want to win a cup at all. I might think it means we'd rather concentrate on a decent (whatever decent means for us) league position, and then see what comes our way cups wise. Like, I'd like to buy as an Aston Martin - but it's not a priority. Truth is I have no idea what "model" the club is using. I don't think anyone does really bar Ashley. Can't deny that the excitement and enthusiasm has been sucked out of the fans, though. Players, managers and chairmen come and go. We'll have our time to shine again.

Guest Rustin Cohle Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I do. It's to gain maximum exposure for Sports Direct at the direct expense of the football club. Yet someone else might - and probably will - think different. This is my point. Until Ashley comes out and categorically states what his intentions are with NUFC, everything we accuse him of is guesswork. I'm not defending him here, I'm not slagging him off either. I'm simply saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Guesswork won't accept you're being mugged off until your tapped on the shoulder and told. He's all but stated, through action, that he doesn't give a shit provided were in the league. You're a mug if you think otherwise tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the club says is open to interpretation, thus meaning fans read between the lines differently. The club rarely speaks, but when it does it picks it's words carefully. The majority thinks Ashley has absolutely zero interest in the footballing aspect of the club, using NUFC simply as a tool to expose Sports Direct. That's fine, that's their opinion. There's fans who think Ashley has done well for us, stabilised the club financially etc. Again, that's their opinion. And then, somewhere, there'll be fans who think Ashley has been harshly treated. Again, that's their opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
