mrmojorisin75 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 in terms of change the only thing I'm expecting now is for them to talk incessantly about winning cups and aiming for Europe which will be backed up by playing a 'strongest team' and going out of the cups anyways then getting nowhere near Europe because the paper-thin squad falls apart in January can't wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The single biggest thing he could do to provide a bit of hope for the future is to employ a good manager. Problem is, a decent manager wants his own coaching staff. Wants influence on transfers. Wants a decent playing squad. Wants a sensible policy of investment and a solid intention to keep hold of the best players. Wants professional people above him. Wants everyone pulling in the same direction. So getting that manager requires almost everything about the club as it stands to change. And that's simply not going to happen, hence how we ended up with a cunt like Alan Pardew. Mediocre ability at absolute best, and completely complicit in everything going on above him. And then give Charnley the job of picking that manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Im not sure how even the likes of Cronky are meant to be impressed by this "new plan" the club are meant to have. In even the best case scenario, say they invest and get a decent manager and coaching team in, they are saying as soon as they win a cup or finish top 4 they will sell to the first money grabbing consortium that comes along and scrap all the theoretical good work that has been done. If he wanted any support surely he needed to promise the investment etc and then say he will only sell if he hasn't won something in the next 2-3 years.

If someone comes along and offers him daft money (highly unlikely I know) for the club then he'll sell. Everything has a price and he knows this as well as anyone. He's also a proven liar.

r0cafella Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The AO people have launched #AshleyEmbargo (http://ashleyout.com/campaigns/embargo/). Pretty impressive effort, and definitely the right area to attack. Let's hope people get on board. Something I've been doing personally for a few years, hope all our fans get on board and hit the cunt where it hurts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Danish supporter, I follow a few of the Danish Newcastle United groups on Facebook and it seems like every single member (bar me of course) have pre-ordered the new Wonga-tastic Puma-failure out of habit I called into the Club shop last week at the Metrocentre, and just like the club website, they had last seasons 3rd shirt (Green/blue) marked at 50% off the RRP of £119.99, so a bargain at just £60! Unreal - have ANY football shirts ever retailed at £120??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Did you not see the documentary man. As soon as they get the stock into the stores they have the discount already labelled with a fake previous price underneath. I doubt many people actually believe it, but it is cheap anyway so they will always attract customers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 This kind of s*** happens in loads of discount retailers over here too. Put an artificially high fake list price, slap an "outrageous" discount, sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complain to the CMA about this misleading practice, if enough people complain the they will have to do something. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/competition-and-markets-authority Getting in touch with Anne Diamond Anne Robinson on Watchdog http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mg74 These are things that are very easy to do and would really hurt Ashely badly, Perhaps AO.com could pick the idea up and run with. They could even go as far as to make a how to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
