I suspect I share your opinion of Ashley, Swale...but, other than a couple of promotions, I think Newcastle may have won one trophy (an obscure European one if memory serves) in the time that most on here have been interested in football. Certainly Derby have won more over those fifty plus years but over the last twenty five years I suspect NUFC fans have had more to shout about than those of DCFC. As you so rightly say...‘beggars can’t be choosers’...and that is exactly what we’ve become.
