Guest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Imagine the pressure local journos could bring to bear on this whole farce.... They should be urging fans to take part in this. They’re probably the one link between the Twitter/online protests and the casual fan. I suppose it gets the word out there but I just feel they should be pushing more and encouraging fans to take part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 They’d get so much support if they joined in the Arsenal boycott for instance. Boycott the Press Conferences, don’t report on the game, etc...would be fucking massive. Secretly though, they’ll be loving all this, they won’t care either way and they’re about to get a manager on board who’ll give them everything they want.

Minhosa Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Fantastic coverage by the Chronicle today. I’ve seen the headlines, all they’ve done is say there’s boycotts planned, sticking to facts. Seems enough to have appeased those wanting them to stick their oar in, without actually doing anything wrong to piss the club off. I’d be more impressed if they came out in support of these actions but they fall short (unless I’ve missed something). Their coverage has been as weak as piss for years but this summer stands out as being completely spineless. They appear scared to lose access to a club that treats them with complete disdain. It’s a joke. They’re a joke. One thing I know for sure is that when the day comes that we have a new owner (and that day will come) they deserve none of the benefits that upturn in fortune/positivity would bring because they’ve done fuck all to get Ashley out.

Guest covmag Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I agree lads, the papers should be doing so much more, celebs and Nufc.com should be 100% sticking the boot in and pushing no renew , the full shabam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The media never bites the hand that feeds it. Until it is dead. People who's job it is to FIND stories of interest, are given stories of interest, daily. Leaves them time to do some proper journalism, like testing Football Manager.

AsprillasShinPad Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Haven't posted on here for ages due to extreme apathy, but this summer has turned that apathy into antipathy. There is no way back now. The FCB is never going to leave and the club is dead. The Keegan/Robson type years we remember will never happen again as long as Cashley is here. After over a decade of the club being run as a cut-price billboard for SD, its clear that only going bust will get rid of the cancer that is the FCB. His tentacles are way too deep into the club now. The only way forward is a phoenix club to form and eventually overtake NUFC, purchasing SJP, although if the FCB continues neglecting the place, it might as well burn to the ground. I hope the next manager is Wise or Gerrard or Pardew, just to really hammer the message home to the happy clappers. Only liquidation will give Newcastle a club to be proud of now.

ToonArmy1892 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 "If you go to the match this season you are not in the wrong; Mike Ashley is." They have to get rid of that line, or change it to 'if you go you are a fucking idiot' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yep, it's correct. They could go stronger on 'think about what you're supporting' or something, but I see what they're trying to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
