The end is nigh

Good post .. But the uncomfortable truth is people need to stay away to rid the club of that fat kernt
People can say what they want but the answer is staring you in the face , empty stadium .

Everyone that turns up is just prolonging the agony ., you get what you deserve

plastics like you are a joke

we dont deserve the footy rafa is dishing up thats true

watching his sh173 is just boring
all those tha go will probabaly tell you its time he went

the lads need a lift and the mighty rafa isnt doing it

the boycott will happen becuse as one lad said

it gives me a reason not to watch that ****e

everyone knows it wont work
ash knows what he has to do
sell

unfortunatly but rightly so he wont give it away

and as much as the press keep saying buyers are hovering

a bit like when you put your house on the market and loads come round to view but dont buy

but the boycott wont make him discount the club
one match wont be enough

will the game be on sky ??

im sure they would love to show an empty st james park to show how fickle we are

You see. Problem is , my Son and me pay close on 80 quid a month each to watch us play.

Not for twelve months. Only eight. Still a big chunk of money though, especially for him.

Now I know we're 5h1te, but I enjoy the afternoon, not the aftermath, of a day at the match with my Son.

My point is:

Who on God's fkin earth has the right to tell me and my Son we should boycott a football match, , or any other season ticket holder for that matter, us having have paid our hard earned cash to watch each and every game.

Tell me that.

My guess, now get this, the one's who are calling for this boycott, especially on here don't even go to the matches.

I know where your coming from I really do. But it's one game man. I know you say you like the day but I really don't understand how at this moment in time any of the day can really be enjoyed. Were protesting against Ashley beforehand playing shocking football and getting turned over by teams like Brighton.

Woah there..! 'Teams like Brighton'? You have no devine right to be better than them.. They have built themselves up over a period to be a reasonable sized decent club and team. They are also fairly well funded. That being the case.. Maybe you beating them would be a better result than you believe..

You ain't buying into Newcastle United .. You are buying into Mike Ashley FC .. And he knows it .

Starve the ****er out .. He is a tapeworm .. 11 years of total ****e and still a full stadium .. No wonder he sits smirking

But that's not true, is it?

I don't think a boycott will force a change of ownership and though I support it in principle as a way of drawing further attention to the mismanagement of the club, I think it'd make things worse in the long-run. Ashley basically runs the club in such a way that, rather than bringing competent people in to increase the amount of revenue the club generates, he just loans money to the club and increases the debt whenever there's a shortfall e.g. each time we're relegated. This would be fine if there was even a remote chance of him writing down this debt. However, what happens instead is that he simply increases his asking price to potential buyers in order to recoup that investment. So if revenues drop, debt will increase, and Ashley's hooks will be ever-more deeply embedded into our club.

I know there are some on here that will say to this that that's his money, his club, it's up to him, and that his high selling price simply shows that he's a shrewd businessman etc. But this isn't really the case. A business doesn't get more valuable because it has more debt. That's like saying my car increases in value every time I crash it and pay to have it repaired! For the market value of the club to increase, it has to show increases in revenue or potential revenue. Buyers will always speculate about the value they can add to the club, but that is on top of the money it already raises itself, not on how much capital previous owners were injecting to cover revenue they otherwise failed to generate. So the bigger the debt, the less point there is in investing in a football club, since it's such an expensive task to unlock Man City levels of value in the club. Why start from a £400m purchase and then invest £500m on players to make a club worth £1.5bn if you can, instead, buy a club for £70m and invest £500m on players to achieve the same valuation?
