HawK Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I still think besieging the ground would look f***ing cool. Flares, banners and flags. Lots of noise outside the ground during the match. My line in my sig hasn't changed in years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My line in my sig hasn't changed in years You keep saying that and you're probably not wrong but it's clearly impossible to organise, so people are doing stuff that's realistic instead.

HawK Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Well, the chances of the fans uniting themselves are slim to none unless some proper figureheads come out and support one direction or another, such as some ex-players. This needs to happen for anything to work imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Call me an idiot or call me stupid but I've just done a little digging and in theory I think I know of away to get to Ashley. SD as we all know is owned by Ashley. Except it's not, a lot of it is owned by private investors, Ashley's share is owned by MASH holdings limited which also owns NUFC. Recently in July a lot of MASH holdings was given to MASH beta, a new company formed by Ashley in order to release money to fund his funding to Rangers which went tits up and also to prevent being hit from the tax man. Anyway a little bit of MASH holdings is owned by private investors. My theoretical plan is for us supporters to start buying shares in the various holding companies Ashley has when they come up for sale. If we do it on a large scale and over time then we should be able to gain some sort of control of what goes on in these companies. So in affect we are making a consortium, maybe this is where we probably need large scale backers, maybe NUST can cough up some of the money they have. If, and yes this is a big if, but if we were able to pull this of then we can ultimately control NUFC, we could demand and control the sale of NUFC to anyone we wanted for any price we wanted as it would be our own assets that we are controlling. We could be vindictive and vote to remove all of Ashley's friends of his board, we could in theory run his business into the fucking ground. Maybe this is middle of the night fantasy last with attempt of hope stuff, in fact it probably is but surely it's an idea exploring to see if it even is a theoretical avenue to pursue.

loki679 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 If you can find enough money to buy a controlling stake in a company with revenues of £2.7bn a year in which the sole director has no interest in relinquishing his majority share then you'd easily have enough money to just buy the club.

Minhosa Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I am of the opinion that MA would sell us immediately if he was offered the right price. He's a businessman as we all know and he'd drop us straight away if an offer was made that he thought benefitted him. The problem is, nobody has made that offer - and there is no talk of anyone even looking at doing it. Even if we burn down the stadium with Ashley inside it, he cant sell us without a buyer. I boycotted against Tottenham, have held up relevant signs and chants as others have - but ultimately we are just telling Ashley he's a cunt (which is still good). Hopefully, the current intense media coverage of AshleyOut will just increase the possibility of someone making an offer. He's the one that would set the price though. So, in theory, if he really wanted rid of the club he could flog it for £150m which he would get all day long but he won't. We need to make his tenure as uncomfortable as possible giving him no option but to actively market the club for as little as he's prepared to accept for it. We're nowhere near that point yet imho.

Leek Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The board should probably have a sticky just running through the process of how to cancel your season ticket and how to get round the direct debit bit. I'm sure their will be some people that visit here, as a member or guest, that wont cancel their ST on the basis they think their not allowed or are unsure of the process of how to cancel it. Even if it stops 2/3 people renewing it would be worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Aye I like that and Mick Quinn but I don't like this absolution of whoever is manager/head roach.

Hudson Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32625987 North Shields manager Graham Fenton has thanked Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor for paying for the use of the Magpies' team bus for Saturday's FA Vase final with Glossop North End. Fenton's Robins, FA Amateur Cup winners in 1969 at the old Wembley, are back at the venue after nine games and eight rounds of the competition. Taylor, 29, paid for the bus personally to take the team down to the game. "It's a fantastic gesture by Steven," Fenton told BBC Newcastle. "I initially got in touch with him to see if it was something the club could do but he said he would sort it out. Something the Club and Ashley should be sorting out not the player.
