Various: Mike Ashley in talks with Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan


Recommended Posts

The thing I don't get about cancelling the protests is this:

 

Surely the only way potential new owners would be put off by protests against the current asset-stripping owner is if they plan on doing the exact same thing?  :lol:

At least the Magpie Group and True Faith called off the boycott as we’ll definitely be spending this month.

 

It was called off because nobody bothered with the walk-in, and 45000 fans at SJP simply cannot be arsed to do anything against Ashley.

 

Nothing to do with the 'takeover'.

Well, Keith Bishop was kind of right in his telling Mike that the fan protests would fizzle out, just slightly off by a couple of month.

Even if 2000 people just didn’t turn up it’s going to make more of a difference than doing nothing at all.

 

The TF group specifically said they were no longer boycotting because they’d been made aware of the takeover by certain sources.

To be fair, we'll probably sign/loan some players in January.

 

Mike Ashley's history is that he does something when we're struggling. It's just either not enough or just enough to keep us up. Then we either go down, come back up and lack investment again. Or we stay up and lack investment again.

 

It's circular and pointless.

Even the fat cunt might start taking notice of the league table now

 

That's the hope.

 

I say 'hope', even if he does sanction a couple of loans it just delays the inevitable and prolongs the misery.

Nah - he'll gamble by doing fuck all and rely on Rafa to keep us up.

Aye, it's boring, but definitely not the main feeling.  Everything that was once good about supporting and following NUFC is gone.

What's in it for Ashley anymore.

Normaly all advertising is good advertising but to be associated whit this lot can't be any good for SD even if it's free of charge.

 

What's the point of any of this shite??

Does sports direct need advertising these days? Who watches our games and instantly thinks they need a new pair of donnays?

TF fanzine announced they were no longer backing a boycott for those reasons......The Magpie Group were left in awkard postion and followed suit......the reasons will come out in the wash eventually.

 

The fact is, the walk-in had poor numbers involved, and some of those who took action were actually abused. A failed takeover/fuck all spent in January will hopefully see bigger numbers when the protests resume.....although I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

At the end of the day, it shouldn't take a group to persuade people that the owner is taking the piss out of them.....cancel your direct debit and walk away. It really is that easy.
