This is what a regional paper should be doing. The people over at The Chronicle should be ashamed for not standing up and using their position to make things untenable for Ashley. If someone like these got on board and really started making things difficult, more fans would get on board. They’re a disgrace.

You’d think they’d get more followers and clicks if they were actually trying to make things hard for him, criticising his managerial appointment, etc. I used to love reading The Chronicle. I rarely agreed with Alan Oliver (particularly over Robert for instance) but at least he had a backbone and gave an opinion! I’d read stuff again if they were anti-Ashley and would probably buy the paper again if they played a part in creating a more successful side. It’s always enjoyable reading the paper on a Sunday or Monday after you’ve won.

You are totally right nut. They are an absolute disgrace and a bunch of fucking cowards. Should be a complete ban on all their shit stories.

Whatever we think of Liverpool as a club (and I always liked them as my second team) they do stick to their club, big time. The behaviour of our Chronic has been a total disgrace and they should know about it.

Boycott it the way 'Pool did with the Sun.

Not a coincidence that Ashley gets locals on the payroll to sugarcoat his crap ownership. Shola, Carver, Beardsley and Concur previously. Now Bruce and Carroll to cement the unholy alliance for the next 12 months and wipe clean all memory of the dastardly ambition of Rafa Benitez.

Its an horrific joke because so many absent minded supporters will take these idols word as gospel without a single challenge or attempt at research for themselves. Just wheel out another has been and get them back on side.

The same morons who lap these cunts up are the very cunts first to call out the likes of Rafa and KK. They truly deserve the club they now have and what pains me the most right now, is if Ashley was to sell up and the club went back to being the kind of club that I could identify with, get behind and be proud to call my club, I’m not sure I’d want to associate myself once more as belonging to the same group of people following the same club they do.

 

They turn my stomach, boil my blood, make me angry and make me more against Newcastle and footy in general way more than the likes of Ashley, Pardew and now Bruce do. Rafa could return with a budget of 500m with KK as owner, but sitting alongside the kind of people who give Carrol a heroes welcome, chanted for Bruce to give us a wave, allowed Ashley to attend games or any of his cronies and who abused AO/SP protesters among other things, would make my skin crawl and leave me cold in a way I couldn't bear just breathing the same air as these sheep, these football high street consumers, these Premier League shoppers.

 

I’d rather spend an afternoon shopping with the wife at the Metro Centre...

 

And this isn’t some super fan thing or self righteousness, it’s about not being a sell out. Moncur is a sell out, Beardsley was.

 

Keegan wasn’t, Rafa wasn’t either. All those that renew, buy kits, programmes, applaud Carroll, Bruce, let Ashley take his seat and so on are sell outs.

 

As such I hope Ashley is around forever and the likes of Bruce, relegations etc. keeps repeating the same old same old.

 

Unlike Brexit, these idiots can’t claim they didn’t know the craic or were mislead, if anything Ashley is honest in that he’s been up front from day one, he’s not the one who has lied to people, they have told themselves a lie. Fuck that and fuck them.

 

Bring on Bruce’s relegation party, SJP shrinking under the shadow of new structures on land around it so as to keep them all under their rock where hopefully they will remain.

 

To Keegan, to Rafa, cheers for your class, integrity, honour, pride, to your principles, for not selling me out or my club to be on the payroll of Ashley SD United FC.

 

Enjoy your shitty club mother fuckers!

Love this line from the I piece "What was once the escape has now become less appetising than the drudgery from which they wanted to escape."

On top of rendering winning/losing promotion/relegation staying up or not all redundant and the certain knowledge that moving the club forward is not going to happen.

He's killed the entire essence of being a fan and sporting integrity.

Was just about to post this, very damning verdict of how we all feel  O0

 

 

Did anything ever happen with those freedom of information requests to the police to find out the true attendances?

 

I’ve not heard of that one.  I did put a complaint about false advertising https://www.asa.org.uk/make-a-complaint.html.  I said I made a choice whether to go to a match based on attendance as that implied entertainment levels etc.  They dismissed it but said they’d keep it on record in case others complained:
