sbnufc Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It'll probably only kick off at the final home game when everyone realises Rafa is going. Small pockets of the stadium, sure.. but people hoping for a full on protest or 'revolt' or whatever are gonna be disapponted. Way too many people at the games happy just to be going and seeing Premier League football and see the event of going to the game every week too big/important to turn on Ashley for just because Rafa leaves. There'll be other managers and those people don't or won't see the importance of Rafa. When I go to home games (maybe 5 per season) I sit all over and those types are everywhere So how does turning on Ashley stop people from doing that exactly? It doesn't, but singing a song saying you think he's a cunt and waving a banner isn't going to do anything while you're still there putting money in his pocket Defeats the whole point of fans turning. Unless the "turn" is actually doing fuck all this way too many like this "I have my routine of going to the match and fuck off if I'm changing it. Oh and I hate Mike Ashley and want change!!"

The other half would accept a flogging if thats what it took to get through the turnstiles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBingo Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Heard it all before. Hardly anyone will walk away if Rafa goes and those that do will see their seats filled very quickly. Not so sure myself, certainly all the match goers I know are ready to walk away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly if we're still in the PL, drop down to the Championship with some yes man in charge and I think the crowds would fall away massively.

Stuy_O Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Rafa needs to go.. for the greater good. Because when he does we will sink into utter oblivion and thats the only way Ashley will ever leave.. when it starts hitting his pocket. And if Rafa did go I would hope the stadium does start to empty but i'm not confident. How much can people take of their club being pulled inside out and being constantly lied to? Everyone loves Rafa, he's connected the supporters and forever told us what most should already know, that Newcastle should be fighting at the right end of the table season in season out. But it's never ever ever going to happen whilst Ashley is about. Its needs to get extremely bad before it ever gets good again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I just hope Rafa's tells everyone who offers him a job when he leaves to fuck off, then once Ashley has buggered off he comes back Now there's wishful thinking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think once he’s gone he’s gone as far as this club is concerned, Rafa I mean. Ashley is here for the long term. This club is the vessel for everything else he has to make money. Maybe it’s naive to think he had good intentions from the start, but I really think he wanted to be liked.. it was more of a popularity move than a business one.. then once Keegan walked, he never got over the abuse he got. It was his biggest mistake. He could have done that to any other manager and gotten away with it. Not KK though. Beginning of the end really, once he became emotionally detached this club has just been his play thing ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I reckon this must be the most stubborn Ashley's ever had to be. His manager is making reasonable demands at a time when the coffers are as weighty as they've ever been, whilst the 19 competitors are all spending large quantities. He's always been impossibly difficult as an owner because he isn't interested in the club being successful; but it takes some serious mettle to be this logic-defyingly unsupportive. Not only is he destroying the greatest opportunity this club has had for silverware since 1996 (arguably 1969), but he's wilfully plunging us into another unnecessary battle for mere survival. Even for Ashley, it's genuinely staggering. He must be on extremely hard drugs very, very frequently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else there are sections of the media and our support that really need to hear it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers to him for looking after out best interests, eh? I knew that, he said those things much later though. In an interview, things had already gone to shit. At the time of the takeover it was only Freddie Shepperd who called him out for being a snake. And for the most part I remember we were so excited about a “billionaire” buying the club we laughed off his comments. I never subscribed the notion the club would have gone the way of Leeds, we never spent as much as them. We had one marquee signing each summer, or as good as. In 2000 Robert was only 9.5m and Bellamy about 6, did we sign Carl Cort that summer too? (That one always baffled me) Hall took the money and ran in the end. He had an obligation to do due diligence on the buyer.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 https://twitter.com/leemarshymarsh/status/1020185420276039680 cunt Dick heads like him are, obviously not the main part, but a fuckin massive part of our problem. Just willing to eat whatever shit they're fed. I fucked my ticket off early doors in Mclarens last season as I just couldn't bring myself to going and found myself spending the first half whinging about him and ashley, then leaving at half time regardless of the score. It's not as hard as I thought to keep away. I admit I was sorely tempted to get it back when Rafa stayed for the Championship, but since then, fuck them...it's always been heading one way with this CUNT.

Guest ElCid Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 [tweet]1020185420276039680[/tweet] cunt These are the exact support the team not the regime people I call sheep. We all know Ashley is ultimately to blame but the attitude of some of our support is just moronic. We saw what happened at West Ham and it went media frenzy as a result and low and behold looks what’s happening there this summer in terms of money being spent. Yes it was probably a bit too much but something has to put pressure on the fat cunt. Well it probably won’t or should I say certainly because you have too many people in our support like this total idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
