Newcastle fans protest against mike Ashley in london

[ghostrider]

Nope, he was up for his working practices but i'd be willing to guess he'll end up in front of one again, then this can be used as further examples of his dishonesty and bad practise.

All of that puts pressure on him.

I don't doubt all of it will put pressure on him. You'd have to be a robot for it not to.
But it's not related to the football club so it's a separate pressure.
It's not going to make him do anything against his own wishes. He's a businessman and he's buying all kinds of stuff amid those pressures.

You could write to your MP - you'd look dafter than usual as it's down to Ashley we've got Rafa playing his football as he has to but i doubt you'll ever accept that.

That's what I'm saying. I would look daft.
As for Rafa playing Ashley's football. Rafa is playing his own egotistical game of football as far as I'm concerned.
Using the fans to help him batter the owner.
The fans will only go so far before they explode on Rafa, if he doesn't buck his ideas up and reign his silly Mexican stand-off ego in.

It might actually make him sell up, if he starts getting hit with pressure from all sides he might well decide it's not worth and sell.

He might sell up. He might be busing to sell up. But first he needs a genuine buyer for his price, regardless of what people think he should sell for or the club being too expensive.
The reality is, nobody is coming forward with the readies.

You of course could be right and it does nothing but at least we'll be trying rather than doing nothing and blindly let him utterly destroy us.

Trying for what?
If there was a Geordie potential owner/consortium waiting in the wings then I'd be more inclined to accept something is being done.
All that's being done at the minute and has been for a while, is rocking the boat whilst the captain of the boat sits in his gyroscopic chair.

You're probably right legally, although i can think of a few on here who think what he's doing in regards SD and toon is a tad illegal but they are better placed for that discussion

He might be but it's all speculation and hope for the worst on him by fans.

That's because you're happy with Ashley.

It's better the devil you know as it stands.
I certainly don't think we've had anywhere near what we could, but then again I also don't think Ashley's had too much of a jolly time either and for me, is why he's running the ship in a way that keeps it afloat but is not in any way in the mind of handing out presents.

It doesn't matter what I think of him. What matters is Newcastle UNited survives and any walk in owner does not guarantee anything like that. Ashley does and has done for 11 years, regardless of it not all being everyone's cup of tea.

99% of the fanbase aren't and are now willing to expand the original football protests out.

It might appear there's 99% Jammy but the reality would be a tad different, I believe.
