Cajun Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Really are sports direct giving us any cash though!? Are they fuck Not a penny. Would you rather he repaid £10m a year from the loan he has with the club? The free sponsorship is his way of getting his money's worth - weather cash comes in and goes back to MA or no money moves, same end result So you honestly think he's sitting at financial year end going, 'right that's £8m worth of sponsorship from Newcastle, that's only £92m that they owe me and the cost of any sale down'? Ashley isn't going to give money away, he knows he can get away with this for free and it will make no difference to the price he eventually sells at (which will include debts).

Nobody Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Would people have preferred if they came out and said "yeah, we changed it, we own the stadium and we want our brand on it" rather than to peddle this bullshit about showcasing it? Personally, I'm not sure, but I really don't think it's a clever move to lie to the fans AGAIN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Are people angry beacuse it is Ashley who has done it, or just because they don't want the name changing? I would have thought even if we had a new owner he would have done the same. The problem i have is that there is no chance we will see any of the money from selling naming rights. i think most of us feel the same, people won't be so upset about all this if we actually get paid good money for it. I'm not bothered that it's Ashley or that we aren't getting money for it right now. Some things are more important than money and the name of SJP should be forever. Otherwise football is really nothing more than a business any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Ok, we all like to bash out words on the internet and I would guess 99% are unhappy about this. Personally, I dont want to see the atmosphere at SJP become negative again. The manager and team deserve better. There is however something we can all do that will take less than a minute. A chap on Toontastic has pointed out that while Ashley owns the Arena and can therefor do whatever he likes, he doesnt own the land and the land is known as St. Jame's Park. Fill in this contact form to Barry Rowland, chief executive of Newcastle City council urging him to have street signage made "marking" St James Park. The council could put this on every corner of the ground and even leading to the ground. Nice and big in Black and White. http://www2.newcastle.gov.uk/contact.nsf/feedback?readform=&%253Bform=cxocontact Might achieve nothing, might achieve something and takes less than a minute. Done Also done. You can shove your for sale signs up your arse Llambias. And Ashley you can tell your sports direct that they can stick a few cheap signs wherever they want, our heritage is not for sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we spend a load of money in the summer, I hope we're going to hear a few apologies from those who, by that time, will have bored the rest of us to distraction with months and months of pointless moaning.

Spider Jerusalem Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 apayingsponsor@St James Park isn't an attractive option though. A Paying Sponsor Stadium and front shirt sponsorship is attractive. Wouldn't be suprised to see this be a sponsor from the Middle East or Asia. Since we have come up nothing major Mike Ashley has done has had an adverse effect on the club or fans yet everything is going to ruin the clubs heart and soul. I'm not against renaming rights as such, as unfortunately this is the way that the world of sport and not just football in general has panned out. The self-imposed deadline from the club to find a new shirt sponsor and the fact that it is yet more free advertising for Ashley's primary business concern that rankles - as someone posted earlier in this thread why not give a charity the seven months of free advertising space instead of his tacky, already over-advertised business. As for heart and soul, that was ripped from football when it bcame a commodity for Sky and no longer the weekend following of the working man but an excuse for corporate days out.

Dave Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 He also said that retail brings in "nothing". I always thought we did quite well on the merchandiing side of things. Perhaps we could stimulate retail income by freshening up the club strip. Some primary colours perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
