jimmymag Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Supporters aren't "powerless" as proven by Liverpool over recent years. If this deal caves, we've got to make the Fat Twat's position here untenable, and I think we will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Ashley's lot will spin it and the bulk of the support will swallow it and carry on sleepwalking into another sweet, numb relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Don't see what else we can do if Ashley wants to sell already, he can just say he hasn't found the right buyer. If this falls through and Rafa resigns that's pretty much it for a lot of fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ashley opened a Shit Sandwich themed fast food outlet (right near SJP), and promoted as part of the matchday experience, it would take off. Such a venture, in Liverpool, would most likely be firebombed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The thing is, relegation or survival is likely to be close either way, and many fans feel that fan unrest would only seal our relegation. Something Liverpool and Man Utd fans don't have to worry about. I've always believed we should get him out at all costs but with it always being a close thing (both times we were relegated by a point or two if memory serves, and other times we've survived by the skin of our teeth), I do understand the large number of fans who worry that we won't recover from one relegation too many and that we need to keep our heads above water until he sells up.

NG32 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 We have a ridiculous loyalty to the football club, nobody wants to damage the club and Ashley relies on this. Sometimes you have to destroy before you create. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Because Rafa was here and stayed. Had he not been here or not stayed on I can say 100% that supporting this club was a thing of the past for me personally until Ashley fucked off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The type of fans who would cause unrest stopped going to St James long ago. Unfortunately that's where protests make the most impact, and the vast majority at the ground are not the type to kick up a fuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Is there no way PCP can not just start a new Newcastle ? Build a new stadium and start again from scratch to make Ashley's investment totally worthless (obviously impossible but I would love to see his face) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went down with literally no fan unrest so I'm not sure it makes any difference at all I agree with you but we say that with hindsight and both relegations, as with all our relegation battles, were very close. On both occasions we went down, 1 win in any game would've saved us. Likewise in other seasons, 1 or 2 losses would've sent us down but we stayed up. Worrying about stuff like that is alien to Liverpool and Man Utd fans. If we did a Villa or a sunderland and were confirmed relegated long before the end of the season, then I could definitely see a massive effort to get Ashley out. Sadly though, with the TV money now, he isn't going to sell unless he gets an excellent deal for himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 There's always a lot of stock put in roaring your team to success/survival and there's obviously something in home/away advantage psychologically but imo it's only any good as part of a system - in which in the case of NUFC the other components of positive ethos, direction, personnel and investment have mitigated the support entirely. It's over-romanticism I'm afraid. Still, you'd sooner be nowhere this train of thought wouldn't you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Judging by the last few comments it's not looking good then? I've kinda stayed away from this whole thing because I can't handle another Newcastle-related emotional rollercoaster again which from a distance is currently playing out. False hope forever.

Begbie Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Do he really want to sell? Is 350-400M a realistic price? I dont know but it sounds high, especially with the tax investigation and a shite squad that might get relegated. Its lik if you have a car and its worth 20k, you put it out for 40k. Do you really want to sell the car? Or did you just do it because your wife kept nagging about selling it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I expect his goal is to meet in the middle closer to £350m, I'm sure he knows he's not getting 380-400. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 If he sold the club for 300 would that put the value of the club at 300 minus the loan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
