Tsunami Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 The fans, non attending and attending want Ashley out, Ashley wants out. Whether you attend or not doesn’t change this, when Ashley was pissing about about wanting out there’s perhaps an argument. Ashley has said there’s never been another serious bid and that may well be true. The attending fans can play a big part in making Bruce’s time here even more uncomfortable. I’ve wanted to see us relegated in the past in the hope it’d force Ashley to sell, we now need need to survive to attract potential buyers. We really are in the worst of every world. Ashley isn’t going to change how he runs the club, fans or no fans. If he declares it’s no longer for sale and it becomes apparent that he’s pissing about with serious buyers then that’s a different matter. In the meantime we need Bruce out and we need to stay up. Somewhere along the line we really do need to know what stopped the takeover. If the only outcome is that Ashley gets some compensation, I hope he takes whoever it is to the cleaners.

Like he has done for the past 14 years? The attending fans did a great job of making it uncomfortable for Bruce, until ASM scored and they forgot all about it again. They also did a great job of putting money in Ashley’s pocket watching the match in their new match shirts, eating their pies and paying for their tickets. Great contribution.

Tsunami Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Having no fans in the stadium doesn’t get Ashley unless there’s a serious buyer and he’s pissing about. He wants out, you could argue that by giving free tickets out to fill the ground makes us look an attractive buy. He’s more or less said the club need to survive without him. The last thing I’d want is for some chancer, without a pot to piss in, get to buy us when we’re loitering in The Championship. We’re basically fucked at this moment in time, pointing the finger at fans isn’t the answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhtoon Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 21 minutes ago, Fantail Breeze said: He could set a realistic asking price and not add in ridiculous contract clauses which prices out the many other willing buyers which would be around. This post (plus the millions in free money he got from the PIF deposit) is the exact reason Ashley will continue with CAT action, regardless of the possibility of it succeeding. He gets a free ride, again. NUFC costs him nothing year on year, but the additional 50m sale price plus potential opportunities of selling to PIF, assuming it gives him/SD an "in" to an overseas market, is significant. Why would he not wait a year or 2 to see what happens with the legal action - the PIF deposit essentially pays for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s killing the club though and putting us at significant risk of relegation. After 14 years of pissing around with every other buyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have the London premium, but not convinced that carries as much weight in their instance due to support and ground being 2nd rate at best. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/aug/11/crystal-palace-sell-875m-stake-to-us-businessman-john-textor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 3 hours ago, HaydnNUFC said: I sort of am with @Rosenrot here tbh. Newcastle fans have never had the appetite for mass protest or mass boycotts. I've protested when possible and not been to SJP since May 2019 but I'm thinking that everything about the club at this point, including protesting/boycotting on top of everything else, is totally pointless. On top of that I generally resent the discussion on matchgoing fans on here, it's toxic as fuck and achieves nothing. Part of the reason why I've attempted self imposed exiles from here, which haven't lasted long. But I miss going so much. I'd not go back whilst Bruce is in charge but replace him with someone like Howe and I'd think about it though. Starting to come around to this to be honest. I wish there was more of a will to protest and make a difference, but when there's STILL 50k fans going to games, it's becoming a bit cut your nose of to spite your face unfortunately. Ashley won't be here forever, if you want to go to a game while he's here you should be able to it without feeling bad about it. It's our (yours, I'm not a local) club, not Ashley's after all.

Darth Crooks Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 There’s the rub. It’s very much not and Ashley exploits that belief but yes it’s still ours of a fashion and try telling people otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
