i can tell you the story about the new billionaire is­ false. i am that billionaire and after i have purchased­ the club i am going to reinstate k.k with shearer as­ dir of football. then he is going to get £500 million­ to spend. hows that for a happy ending.

john m u talkng a load of bull again shut the fudge up­ we all know it wont happen now it takes time u plank

A lot of anger and hatred toweards Ashley. Rightfully­ so maybe. The point is he's spent the money to get­ rid of Fat Fred whom we disliked then and seem to have­ forgotten now. Don't get me wrong. Do I wish­ he'd sell and leave? Yes. Can he save himself­ still, maybe. the fault is not with hima s a person,­ but with the structure he has put in place. I don't­ think people fault him as a person/owner and if they do­ they shouldn't. Yes man City splurged adn bought­ Robinho, Ashley should spend in a manner that he can­ (a) afford and (b) believes is prudent for the business­ that is NUFC, sustainability being the key word. So I­ don't fault him for not buying berbatov, robinho or­ any other player that we as fans wish for. What i do­ fault him is for putting in a strucutre or should say­ people that are not sustainable and for the benefit of­ the club. Okay so you have a director of football, fine­ then he should sit below the manager of the club or at­ the least as an equal to the manager, who should have­ the final say on the 1st team and reserves. The­ Director should aim to buy or bring in talent that the­ manager can work with and wants to work with. The­ Director may have more say on the youth squad and the­ resources of the club such as training ground,­ facilities etc the shceduling, whom we play in off­ season etc. Re Denis Wise, he fails the first test of­ suitability. An unproven manager and definetely an­ overated player. If Mike Ashley wants to prove his­ faith to the loyals, then he should hire capable staff­ and not mates.

Keegan left us to our fate. If you (Geordie) where in­ his shoes, would you quit the club??

Its a shame that the people of newcastle were and­ continue to be blinded by silly ,arrogant little man­ like kevin keegan . At best an enthusiatic also ran ,­ he really didn,t ever manage , throughout his­ footblling life he has been a tryer , but also a proven­ quitter when things don,t go his way really , come on­ ,this was so on the cards that it would turn out like­ this ! That said , this whole affair is a lesson to us­ not only in footballing terms , but in any terms you­ care to think about that we only have ourselves to­ blame for thethings we complain about!! . we are a­ nation of lemmings who WILL turn up on saturday at st­ james Park , who continue to buy petrol , who continue­ to pay for satelite tv , who perpetuate all the evils­ in life by our willingness to go along with things ,­ when all the time the power is in the hands of us all­ to boycott all the things we disagree with , But we­ don,t , we are so so weak willed it hurts , How­ amazingly GREAT it would be to see empty terraces on­ saturday !! just HOW LONG could the club , or any club­ who upset its supporters , go without drastic adction­ to make the paying public come back . We should all be­ ashamed of ourselves for encouraging greedy undeserving­ business men to reap their ill gotten rewards , and­ those paying to be at st james Park on saturday who had­ anything untoward to say about Ashley or Wise SHAME­ ON YOU ! You are weak willed lemmings!!

everyone don't go to watch game against hull city­ this saturday.may be that fat @#$% will realize the­ suffering of NUFC fans.

I dont really care who takes over the club as long as­ that fat p***k ashley is gone.He doesnt have a clue­ what we want at this club.As for wise he should pack­ his bags.Because of these 2 shitheads the most­ respected man up here has walked and that is just not­ good enough.While this club is in this state i wouldn­ recommend anyone to take the manager job.Youd be gone­ within 6 months anyway.What a @#$% mess!!!!

whats the betting these so called true fans who are­ going to boycott the game against hull on Saturday are­ talking out their backside the Fans have to take some­ of the back l;ash too there expect success like today­ and not two or three years down the line I feel for the­ fan's coming from the North east myself I know what­ football means be honest who in the right mind is going­ to take on the job and these Newcastle fans expecting­ keegan back forget Toon army the man was a joke who­ conned you all into thinking he was the Messiah more­ like the as been so please give the next manager a fair­ crack of the whip and be patient and then you will get­ the your just rewards and good luck for the rest of the­ season Northern Lad

If you want to vote with your feet and send Ashley a­ message and dont wish to go to the next home game­ against Hull City .... Come to watch Newcastle­ Benfield from the Northen leage at home in the FA Cup­ to Bridlington Town on Sat 12th 3.00 ko

I have the solution !
I Will buy the club, I think i­ can...
I have in my account $1,024
So maby i can buy­ NUFC...
:-))))

You #@$@ Indi rich man, You Said you­ are a magpie fan, its your turn to prove it.
God is­ watching you at this moment, You must buy Newcastle­ United and make us feel good with ASHLEY going home.
HA­ !

As a football fan who has no bias towards any club i­ would just like to say how dismated i am with English­ football.West Ham and Newcastle are two great­ traditional English clubs who have been run by people­ that cant manage a team.I'm afraid our national­ game is being ruined by investors with no interest for­ the club or its fans.Those who knock West Ham and the­ Toon beware what lies around the corner its pulling our­ national game to pieces.

if i wasn't in nepal then i would have sliced that­ fat @#$% ashley.

I cant believe this.

Football is now dead.

It was­ dying for a while.

The big four will be a new big­ four, but still a big four.

FIFA need to implement a­ salary cap. This is the only way that the premier­ league will be more even. It needs to be done by FIFA­ though, because footballers (or their agents) will go­ to the biggest wage, be it in England, Spain or Italy,­ so it needs to be a world wide rule.
I certainly dont­ want to watch Premier League clubs dominating the semi­ finals of the Champions League, year in year out,­ because that would simply be boring, just as the­ premier league is now.

Chris O, you may have a valid point. All we hear are­ the allegations and accusations being thrown left and­ right, and the disputes between the manager and the­ board. The fans are angry, and rightfully so, but what­ we will never know are the dealings and financial­ numbers that are not the privy of fans and football­ managers. If Ashley spent millions for the club then­ he has every right to see that he gets his desired­ returns. Football is a sport but it is also a business­ and you make investment decision based on returns,­ risks, etc, and not on passion and love for club alone.

Ashley will not sell because no one is interested. He­ would have to sell it cheap and loose money and he­ won't do that. I believe he will make some­ acrobatic moves to make Toon fans believe he actually­ cares and then he will do what he wanted to do in a­ more subtle way.

It's bad news when you see great clubs like­ Newcastle struggling, being a Man City fan we know what­ it's like but you never know what's around the­ corner, reports are saying that a multi-billionaire­ (similar to City) maybe interested in a take-over at ­ Newcastle although this has been totally denied, hmmmm,­ we'll see on that one, hope he does take over and­ then Newcastle can throw a spanner in the works just­ like City have, the days of the "Big Four"­ seem to be coming to an end (thankfully).

Just like to­ add Newcastle have a great set of fans and love their­ football it was a great shame KK left because­ truthfully speaking Manchester City would not be in­ this position only for him, he did a fanatstic job for­ us, we owe him big time, hope he gets another managers­ job because the game needs people like KK, even if City­ (at the time) and Newcastle owners think otherwise,­ he's a top bloke.
