    Would Ashley's actions and attitude

    ruin any club or any manager no matter who they were or how great their reputation and success in the past had been.

    As an example I'm of the opinion that had he taken over Manchester United with Fergie at the helm he would have had both club and manager on their knees within a few years at the expense of the fans and to the total benefit of both himself and Sports Direct Tat

    Wouldn't bother him
    That's why he had that smirk

    He doesn't need them

    All they would do. Y staying away is generate less interest in someone buying the club

    And we have no alternative
    And he knows it

    Which is hilarious asking him to go when we have no alternatives
    The great geordie nation haven't found a buyer with motte money than him

    There you go then ... he doesnt need them.

    doesnt need:-

    the season ticket money
    people paying at the gate/corporate
    shirt sales
    sales at the ground
    sales in shiite direct
    sales in debenhams
    sales in House of Fraser

    The drop in sky revenue would be massive cos they would never screen live games from an empty ground.

    the 50000 each week are totally insignificant

    we don't need someone with more money than him, we just need someone who is prepared to spend a little to progress a little bit more each season, instead of robbing us blind

    That is exactly what is needed and if Ashley had done this progressively over the time he has been here he would be a hero and his main love S.D. would have flourished and no one would have minded the free advertising.

    As a businessman regarding Newcastle United he has been very short sighted and consequently an abject failure.

    Do we really need an owner to spend any of their own money.Money from advertising,merchandise,ticket sales,tv money and transfer fees received should be more than enough to be self sufficient.
    That's my main problem with the slug.He takes all them revenues away from the club and siphons them off towards Sh1te Direct/Mash Holdings.Leaving us with players that are nowhere near good enough and a manager with his hands tied.Not to mention a fan base that he couldn't give two sh1tes about.
