Shearergol Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Maybe Rafa asked him to play on the left again, so he’s back in Mike’s camp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Thousands of people have been going out of their way to try and make a change at the "club", and he comes out with "Mike's a nice guy", what did you expect? I don't disagree with any of Rafa's comments there, but at some point you've got to be accountable. He's not that young, and he's the captain of the side. He doesn't need to say anything positive or negative, but coming out and supporting Mike was always going to go down like a s*** sandwich. f*** him. I wouldn't boo him or anything to that effect, but he's just gone from a hopeful figure to another faceless patsy. He's DEAD TO ME. There's a good reason people are considering a boycott, it doesn't take a genius to work out. At best his comments were laughably ill-judged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The reaction isn’t over the top, he is our captain and knows exactly how we feel and why we protest. He’s not ignorant. Again he didn’t have to say anything about protests or the owner, the fact he has can only mean it was a condition of his new deal and as such he has shown he is just another puppet and Ashley his master. The most hurtful thing about his comments is the insinuation that protests are having or will have a negative impact on things and that fans need to support the players and team. Fans have never wavered in their support and if anything have been over supportive and he should know that because he has benefitted more than most. Fans are the positive to Ashley’s negative and for us it’s been 11 years of hell which the likes of Lascelles can switch off from with their motion pound contracts and ability to leave if they aren’t happy. We can’t and not even him and his team-mates or the brilliant Rafa can take away that feeling of anger, hurt and negativity with wins or performances because of Ashley. We couldn’t even enjoy promotion and finishing 10th. We can’t even enjoy Rafa. But hey, as long as you enjoyed your pizza and chat with mr nice guy Ashley...

Dave Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Oh, and when the worldwide image of NUFC fans (rightly or wrongly) is that it's amazing we always turn up in such numbers despite never winning anything, surely it's pretty fucking obvious that something has to be seriously wrong for a boycott to be in the offing. This hasn't been organised to argue against the price of the pies for fuck's sake. Spectacularly thick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 As wormy said, he was quite clearly clued up about what's going on at the club, specifically talking about player bonuses, Rafa getting a new contract, funds to spend, and was involved with leading the players to strike against Sky interviews until the bonuses were sorted. Suddenly he didn't know there's an issue with Rafa's contract and despite being here for 4 years, his wealth of knowledge on Ashley extends to meeting him in a restaurant once and declaring him a nice guy. Makes sense tbf. In other news, my date of birth is 01/11/18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1892er Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 So he signs a 6 year contract and suddenly comes out with that shite? I don't expect him to commit career suicide and side with the fans publicly, but if he had half a brain cell he must of known those comments would do him no favours at the very least. It wouldn't surprise me if hes been asked to come out and say that mind, while the 6 year contract carrot was being dangled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Well that interview has certainly put the cat among the pigeons. I’ve been trying to find ways to give him the benefit of the doubt but it certainly looks like he’s been bought off and taken the Bishop’s shilling.

Kanj Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Having read the entirety of his interview and quotes I’m disappointed in him. But I’m not as mad as many of you as I’m just flat out annoyed with him. And also just had a medical procedure done and hopped up on paid meds so can’t be too arsed about anything. Ho hum, Ashley out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Siding with us isnt career suicide. Ashley never plays hardball with players, he could still get his big money move no matter what he said. Now he's firmly in the "Hope his career goes down the shitter" pile.

It’s the kind of thing he usually comes out with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 You're all deluded if he thinks he will support the "soopa" fans rather than earning more a week and telling the press that Mike isn't so bad. A footballer's career is very short. If you all got offered an extra 20k a year, I'm sure you'd speak so highly of your shitty bosses too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie john Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 What's also pissed me off is that the guy has had a bang average season and is definitely not the leader / player he was last year. If he thinks he knows this club and this city half - a fraction - of what is reality then he will know the extent of the absolute hate that we all feel for Ashley. He should have been far, far better than this. As has been said, he's not a wet behind the ears 19 year old anymore. Heading to Everton in the summer? Nothing, but nothing surprises me anymore. Sad life, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Ashley runs this club like the Corrupt Saudi family run there country. So we should all invade the pitch, remove our shoes and beat Lascelles to death with them? What’s appropriate punishment for saying the wrong thing for a young lad these days?? Fucks sake. This is so trivial compared to some of the things Ashley has done, yet he'll sit in the stand again today without as much as a peep being said to him directly. The supporters are beginning to look like shrieking social justice warriors, it’s embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
