    Thing is I don't at all. When was our last good transfer window? We will have yet another shambolic one and it will just be accepted by the vast majority and they will all turn up to the following weeks fixture to watch the same sack of sh1t defend for 90mins hoping to keep a clean sheet and maybe snatch a goal. I genuinely feel like it's just not that important to a lot of people. For instance when we lose I'm not a very nice person to be around until my Mrs gives me the old "it's only a game,don't let it ruin your weekend" sort of speech. To be honest a lot of the time I agree and think Fu(k it what can I do. How many other people will look at it the same way? A hell of a lot imo, what's happening at our beloved club is shambolic it is disgusting and it is becoming a laughing stock, but people have there own personal lives with there own personal problems to deal with. When you look at it that way it's easier to see why people don't join in protests etc. Also regardless how bad the club is run or the results are on the pitch, an afternoon at St.James' is simply a get away from reality for thousands of Geordies and they don't want to give that up because of a Useless fat cockney owner. I think he will only go WHEN HE WANTS TO GO not us, if that was the case he'd be long gone now.

    no, don't think so

    for the 1st time ever a mate - who has been going to matches home and away continuously since the mid 60's - who always said he would never stop going -

    is now saying if the fat controller makes rafa leave ( and he is at times critical of rafa) he will not go back
    i think for a lot of people - this season/transferwindows/etc etc is the final straw - the one that breaks the camels back

    Why will we see a different reaction this time? its no different to all the other transfer windows/club sale that weve had over the last 3-4 seasons. They will whinge but do f..k all about it, as usual!

    Correct.

    Time to accept the fans are prepared to do nothing , zilch, zero, nil, .
    This transfer window , season is the same as the half a dozen before .. Why will the reaction be different ?
    Same if Benitez goes and Ashley doesn't . Next season, first game .. 53000 + .
    You know why the French go on strike , protest , take to the streets .. Cos it's the only thing that works .. The French government soon backed off .
    The French public would have had higher fuel prices , higher retirement age , less pension , less workers rights .. If their only protest was to do nothing and write on forums whinging .

    I don't think anything will change at all
    Only way is for fans to stop buying season tickets while he is in charge
