Away Toon Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 It's actually short term that we need to be relegated, this season will do, and then we need to stay down until the lack of revenue and ongoing protests persuade Ashley to sell at a reasonable price. There is no point at all in us continuing to be in the premier league if it's to struggle like this every season, play horrible football to boot, irrespective whether Rafa stays or not. I'm convinced Ashley will not sell us while we remain on the premier league gravy train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newintoon Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Statement The Magpie Group have consulted as many fans as possible to come up with our next phase of protests against Mike Ashley’s running of our football club. We’ve read hundreds of emails and messages, organised public meetings to listen to what fans want and polled those in attendance to get a feel for the most popular courses of action. Three basic principles came up time and again. Protesting his store, protesting at games, and emptying seats at games. Given the popularity of all of these options, we see no reason to choose one and will organise and promote them all. The games against Watford, Everton, Fulham and Liverpool will have a mix of pre and post match protests. For the home game against West Ham on December 1st we’re asking fans to enter the stadium 11 minutes after kick off. For the televised Sky game against Wolves on December 9th we’re advocating a total boycott. We’re working on other activities we’re not currently in a position to make any public announcement on, but now it’s up to you. Democracy will win. The Magpie Group events that are well supported and effective will be more likely to be repeated in the new year. Those that the wider fanbase choose not to back in significant numbers will be less likely to form part of the ongoing actions. We need as many volunteers and active participants as are willing. For those that choose not to partake in any of the events organised, we fully respect that decision and accept that a consensus will never be possible. It’s a personal choice. There is no reason for any animosity on the stands, on the streets or on social media. Those fans that join protests and those that don’t, the team and the manager are Newcastle United. We all want what’s best for the club and do all we can to achieve this aim. The Magpie Group support everyone working for a better Newcastle United, however they feel is right. One man is working against Newcastle United and all of us that make the club. His only aim is to grow his retail empire at our cost. Mike Ashley is the reason The Magpie Group was formed and we will continue to fight for a better future for Newcastle United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Eh ?? I'm getting mixed signals today is Ashley naughty or nice ? Seems to be a common theme this week - first the manager says in his own words that the fans literally shouldn't boycott and now the captain is saying the owner is a good guy. No fucking wonder most of the sheep have a ready made excuse not to get on board with the positive steps that the Magpie Group etc. are trying to take when the most two senior members come out with stuff like this.

Happinesstan Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Stop telling me what to do wahhhhhh!!! Maybe. Just maybe. Rafa and Lascelles instructions "not to protest" are aimed at these people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I never saw anyone handing out flyers but the people next to me and in front had them. I noticed it said to hold them up on 11 minutes when i had a look at it at half time but can't remember anyone actually doing so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Need to keep the focus on the upcoming protest events. Two home wins doesn't change the fact we are an absolute shitshow of a football club, and there's one man responsible for that. These results are meaningless in the general scheme of things. We need Mike Ashley out of our club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we still not won a game come the Wolves game, more would have been involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiesteve710 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Looking at nufc twitter is horrendous at the minute. If there were as many people prepared to go after Ashley for ruining their club as there are prepared to go after the magpie group for daring to suggest a boycott then we'd have some protest group going on as a fanbase!!

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 No one's going to tell them how to support* the lads! Not Ashley, not you, not anyone, and if you question them, there'll be bother! *Paying Mike Ashley £600 a year to sit in silence aside from 'GET IN!'ing slide tackles out for throw ins, and booing Ayoze Perez when he comes on.

I used to sit in front of some fuck-nut who loved doing this. He also hated Ben Arfa and used to to scream at him to “pass the fuckin baal yi daft cunt” even when it was clear no one apart from him wanted it.
