... we've never liked Ashley and his cronies.
we have been accused of being fickle, being ungrateful (not appreciating the man who has "saved" our club), being deluded (for wanting more than he has given us).
he has dragged the name of our club through the mud
Joe kinnear
he has relegated us twice
he has sh1t on club legends (Keegan and shearer)
he has been proven in court to be a liar
Joe kinnear (again)
we (the fans) constantly get talked about in national media (printed, radio and TV) accused of disliking him because of his southern roots.
we are supposed to be thankful for him and all he has done for us...
now look where we are.
locked in a legal battle with HMRC, one that will probably result in criminal convictions for some of the cronies we are supposed to be grateful for / to.
worse still, the club may face punishment / sanctions.
but no doubt, us deluded Geordies will be getting our just deserts.
we need a fresh start, this one went rotten long ago!
Everyone has his own point of view but you'll find most have a less extreme one than you. The failed mass walkouts 2 seasons back showed that.
Maybes some of us have longer memories and remember how financially screwed we were when Ashley bought the club and appreciate the ( long over due) appointment of a manager worthy of the club.
Some will say that this is little good compared to all the bad he's done but if the club wasn't here any more or languishing in division 3, maybe none of us would be complaining about ashley today.
Add to the list of shame, the finishing of a player recovering from cancer, our worst run of defeats against the scum and sacking chris hughton for pardew then appointing the clown. The list of ashleys ****e bad decisions and downright mental dictator like attitude to the supporters of the club is endless. I hope he gets jailed for yax evasion. ****er
Big Errol is a waiting for Lee.
WELL SAID
TO MANY PLASTICS AND JOHNNY COME LATELYS WITH SHORT MEMORIES HOLDING MEMORIES OF A FEW GOOD YEARS IN A LEAGUE IN ITS INFANCY AND WHO SPENT MONEY WE NEVER HAD
AND THEN LOVED THE CLUB THAT MUCH AND THOUGHT THAT MUCH OF THE FANS HE SOLD IT TO A COCKNEY WITH ABSOLUTLY NO IDEA ABOUT FOOTY OR HISTORY OF THE CLUB
AND NOW PEOPLE SLAG OF ASH
WE WERE ON A MASSIVE SLIDE UNTIL HE CAME
NO ONE WOULD HAVE STOPPED US SLIPPING
WHEN PEOPLE GO ON ABOUT HE FINISHED A PLAYER WITH CANCER
SO WHAT
WHERE IS PLAYER LOYALTY
AND IS HIS SACKING OF HOUGHTON ANY WORSE THAN THOSE CLOWNS SACKING SIR bOBBY
OR THE GEORDIE FANS ASKING FOR HIM TO BE SACKED
NOPE
SACK SIR BOBBY AND APPOINT FAT SAM
I DONT THINK ASH HAS EVER DEALT US A WORSE HAND THAN THAT
Zip.
I heard them saying that in a brummie accent from some reason.
And Pboro who seems to dislike Newcastle (the city), the fans of the club i assume is the prime example of what you were talking about Mick?
Newcastle Utd. is the Titanic and Ashley is that f*cking huge lump of ice in the distance. Hope history doesn't repeat itself !
