Hi all,

I'm currently undertaking my dissertation module in university and I was hoping for some people to fill in a short survey about the takeover of Newcastle. My research is aimed towards the fans and I want to really understand your perspective of the whole takeover. This survey is very short and I'd be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to fill it in. Again thank you too all, ill leave a link to survey underneath this:

Done. I'm sure a few would be interested in the findings so feel free to share the dissertation once it's completed.

Unless you get a 3rd, in which case don't bother...

But you won't get a 3rd, because I believe in you.

Hi, thank you very much for taking part in the survey. I’ve called it “Newcastle United’s new beginning: the fans perspective of the takeover of Newcastle United Football Club”

Not sure what I'm missing like. :lol: It's not 'Newcastle United’s new beginning: the fans perspective of the takeover of Newcastle United Football Club' is it? What's the subject?

I would respectfully challenge the narrative that fans don't get a say in who their owners are. I think it's a shaky argument at best and at worst I think it's possible you may be lying to yourself about your true feelings. 

 

Yes it has taken a long time to get rid, but why do you think Mike Ashley has sold the club? Were it not for fan pressure he would have a cushy number owning this football club for a number of years to come. Could we have stopped this takeover if we wanted to? Absolutely. The truth is that most fans aren't bothered and just want the money and to be rid of Mike Ashley. That's fair enough, but fans could have stopped this takeover if they wanted. If anything it's only happening because the fans were so desperate for it.  

 

 

Mike Ashley sold the club because the Saudi's offered him above Market Value for it, if he’d been bothered by fan pressure it'd have been sold in 2008. Fans have no say at all. The removal of Hicks and Gillette at Liverpool is often attributed to fan power, but in reality it was Barclays who forced them to sell after they’d defaulted on a payment, nothing at all to do with fan protest.

Not trying to be critical or anything just seemed really broad for it to just be here's what the Newcastle fans think about the takeover. :lol: Usually it's like '"Good game?" understanding the role of modern football fan loyalty in a hypercapitalist bubble'
