Noodles Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hardly surprising pubs haven't missed out on an opportunity to make money tbh I'd like to think of it as showing solidarity with their patrons rather than "making money".

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 TBF to Cronky, I do think there's a slight chance that Ashley might sanction some spending in the summer. And now Carver has crashed so badly, he might even appoint a manager. It's just about possible. But when/if he does, that's the time to give any credit that might be due (if any). In the meantime we need to demonstrate unity on how the club is being run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 What Cronky is saying actually makes a lot of sense, but only in the event that Pardew was actually a respectable manager with ability, and if Ashley was a simple thrifty businessman with a desire to run a tight ship. As it were, neither of those are true. Pardew showed himself to be totally out of his depth at managing this club (having been plucked out of lower league obscurity), and Ashley has shown nothing but contempt towards the fans with the many offences he has committed against the club and its standing in the game. In addition to that, we DO have a history of selling some of our best players without replacing them. In theory, Cronky is right. In practice, i'm afraid it's his opinion that is naive and not the "campaigners'". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Pardew left the club at the beginning of January, and we didn't bother appointing a manager, but instead wrote off the rest of the season to wait until the summer, while putting a major Neanderthal in charge. It is now seeming increasingly likely that said Neanderthal is going to remain in the position, despite being the most crass, undignified and unqualified cretin you could ever imagine to meet. How anyone can think Ashley is finally going to get it this summer is beyond me. Even if by some miracle he is thinking of doing the right thing this summer, than we have to make sure he doesn't waver from that though process, by sending a strong message with this boycott, so that there is no doubt as to how disgusting the current situation is.

Jayson Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ashley has hired Kinnear twice, Hughton, Pardew, Carver & had Dennis Wise scouting for players on youtube. All renowned for their top class track records & not simply being cheap options. What a naive boycott, we're about to sign a top class manager man.

henke Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 In response to Cronky that's sort of what I was getting at, I believe things are gonna get a whole lot worse before they get better. But as I said at the end of my post, so be it. The club is in a coma right now, it's not even a football club anymore. It's just a billboard. If Ashley wants to light the place on fire on his way out then I'm ok with that. He can wipe his cock on the curtains if he wants. I'd sooner start next season in league two with a new owner and some ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I like how so many people say 'well, this summers Ashleys big test' . Like he hasn't failed so many fucking tests along the way. It's not like he's had 30 driving lessons and he's ready to pass or fail. This cunt's had 30 car crashes and still people talk of his 'big test' as though, from nowehere, some shred of genuine ambition is going to appear . It's not. The only hope is to force him out, and if this campaign increases the likelihood of his departure or hastens it, then I'm all for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 This from AO.com comments section, this is what we're up against, I've been trying to educate them but some are just a lost cause! Martin Rooney2 hours ago I'm utterly disappointed with my fellow Newcastle fans. Whilst I feel alone in my thoughts that there's something missing in the Psyche of toon fans i have to tell myself its just some and not all. I'm worried that the some god complex amongst many of the keyboard warriors starting the protest movement, long lost migrants away from the northeast who haven't been to a Newcastle game in an age. Those who haven't been able to cut the ties with the Northeast and hang all their misplace parochial emotion on NUFC. Screaming away at the club in an angry silence on the laptop smartphone or PC. Football is important but shankley was wrong there are many much much more important things in life family and work are just two, with most football clubs under going a period of rejuvenation each summer the out cry of pain from these so called fans is nothing but a false emotion. There will be no acceptance that their have been many influences on the performance of on the pitch by the playing squad, and that the least of them is Mike Ashley. Having been identified as the ideal replacement for a player like Yohan Cabaye, Siem Du Jong was bought and Heralded as a great addition with many national journalists surprised nufc could attract such a player. Adding significant players like Janmatt an improvement on the french international full back that was angling on a move ever since his Striking best mate moved on. That they bought a player who was proving a goal scoring talent in the french league is ignored because the guy hasn't performed instantly. The stupidity of Cisse twice, Colback, Colo, Sissoko again twice has led to already weakend teams being played even further hampered with injuries to Tiote Krul, Cisse, Elliot, R Taylor, S Taylor, Dummett, Haidara along with fringe players like Obertan Aarons Abeid Jonas who are meant to be the back up. It's all Mike Ashley's fault. Dismissing the fact that the club which was honest enough to speak the priorities of all bar 5 premier league clubs and ye still reach the qtr final of a cup this season, only going out after the rookie keeper under pressure makes a ruck of things. It's all Mike Ashley's fault. Looking to create future success by investing in top quality talent, Darlow, Perez Lascelles and doing their damnedest to sign Deli Alli shows a complete lack of Mike Ashley's interest in thinking about NUFC's future it's obvious. Only 4 clubs have used more players than nufc this season and yet the squad is said to be too small, players have been sold they cry Santon, the one the fans wanted hung after his performance against Sunderland last season, Mbiwa a liability of a player who has had few games for nufc yet stand out performances include sending offs and fouls more akin to assault than whats needed in the premiership, his international team mate Nasri will stand, or maybe won't, testimony to that. It's all Mike Ashley's fault. Mike Ashley spent Qtr of a billion pound on the club I think that gives him the right to put a billboard up, it is after all money that came from yes the customers of Sports Direct. That's the company which put an end to the lack of competition in sports replica kit for fans. We're sponsored by wonga a despicable company, one which lends people money after they approach them for the money, but online gambling and alcohol companies are just fine and dandy. It's all Mike Ashley's fault. Fans want the club to be buying the likes of that Premiership success Ozil or his team mate Sanchez, yet go screaming for the every penny in the pot to be spent instantly Arsenal took six years to build up their transfer pot in order to buy big players and once able to do that have paid dividends that after two years they may just may be in with a chance of the title but more importantly assure CL football without qualifying rounds. There's clearly selection in the minds of many Newcastle fans there really is nothing that that the club can do differently to what it is now to move much higher up the table. Any club that has had our injuries would struggle even a team like Man City with all their riches have found that key injuries completely scupper a season. If anyone can put reasoning behind a different plan of how the future management of the would be better please put one forward, FFP stops any owner spending hundreds of millions. Strangely though it seems that the one thing the protesters don't want to do is support the team, they haven't all season at SJP, and they won't until nufc start qualifying for the champions league, to my shame, maybe all those away fans singing where were you when you were shit maybe right, maybe our big crowds are just glory hunters, and not solely down to there being bot all else to do on in the Northeast on a Saturday afternoon. I'll be there Sunday so will my lad. [/Quote] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The fact that a few thousand people won't turn up to the game including the people who sit next to him should show him that it is the fans who do go to matches who are doing this and not just kids behind a keyboard. Then again if he's that stupid he'll probably delude himself that they were all ill or couldn't get in because of people protesting. I'm sure it has to be a wind up though.

Yorkie Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Similarly to anyone who liked Pardew, I simply have absolutely no time whatsoever for people who aren't behind this movement. As for those who speak badly of it, I actually resent them, too. Maybe I'm bigoted but I just cannot entertain anyone who thinks differently on the matter. Anyone trying to convince me that any form of protest against the man is misguided or incorrect... well, you'd have better luck convincing me the sky was yellow. The 'this summer' thing is utter bullshit as well. Of course we're going to spend. The squad is pitiful, aging and will get smaller. Of course we're going to spend some fucking money. We need to, simply in order to stand still. Staggers me how people don't get that. Cronky, man - are you going to answer me this time? I've asked you before and I'll ask you again: what actually is your opinion of the club? Do you think it's underachieving? What would you change? I know you're not a wind-up merchant but you only ever speak on the contrary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
