mozy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Their targeting of the Sports Direct (along with the other groups, in fairness) has been really good, absolutely no reason why this shouldn't continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its no surprise to me that, assuming the support is at its most vocal on social media, this is where it seems to have been most effective Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Look at all the energy we’ve put into this.. literally all he did was stutter a few lines out designed to put doubt into a planned protest. Which would have been televised. It worked. We have no backbone. TMG is not fit for purpose. They should have realised what was happening and got everyone to double down on the protest. When is our next televised game? If you watch it again you can tell hes struggling not to laugh Literally none of TMG's cancellation had anything to do with Ashley's statement.

Tiresias Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Can't wait for the "I wanted to sell the club I really did but noone would give me £500m and promise 10 years of free advertising of Sports Direct, the fans are being unreasonable" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. He doesn't give two shits about the damage we do to the club. Target his businesses, and all businesses who do business with him. Make his brand utterly toxic.

Heake Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I would be interested to see what would constitute "harassment" rather than legitimate protest just to see how "in his face" you could get before getting howked of to the local nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 So no one's bid yet going by the Craig Hope tweet and it's up to them to do so.

I hate it when it's not one of the trusted journos passing comment on twitter. I think he's usually right with stuff but is melodramatic at times. If it happens, we'll wake up or just be checking Twitter or the news and we'll see the club statement announcing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Serious question, what would it take, as in what would he have to do to this club to get a reaction like West Ham owners got last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think the West Ham "incident" or reaction was not preplanned but, more a spur of the moment display of enough is enough from the fans involved. It certainly escalated quickly. We are really just one step away... it would not take much to ignite the potential powder keg that is rumbling just under the surface. The current take over potential is keeping most people quiet.... last thing we would want any possible new owner to think is "maybe they'll turn on me like this in a year / 5 years time" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It was only 2 weeks ago that we had fans refusing to take part in a walk in, abusing those that did, and then leaving with 10 minutes to go. That one step is massive. My whole world view would turn upside down if those inside SJP did what the West Ham fans did. I think there's close to 0% chance of it happening, but I'd love it.

The vast majority of NUFC fans seemingly can’t be bothered at all anymore. Even two years ago there seemed to be more fight than right now. The Magpie Group deserve enormous credit for trying to keep whatever flicker of hope and fire there is going, but the amount of ‘enablers’ to the demolition of this club has grown steadily over the years, sadly. At this stage I wouldn’t even be particularly surprised to see fans turn on Rafa for not signing a new deal before joining in in any form of organised protest.

Face facts there is no takeover and the fans will not be revolting anytime soon . All anyone can do is stop going and putting £ in Ashleys back pocket . You effectively have to stop caring about the fate of Nufc . Do something else with your life ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
