Well lads it looks like our loyalty to the TEAM will be tested onSaturday.
I have no doubt there are dark days ahead. It is clear That the more cans call for Perdews head the more likely Ashley will keep him. The last thing any of us want is a repeat of 08/09.
So I'll be up at 12pm to watch the dross against Hull. All we can do now is support the team and hope that guys like collo stand up and man up.
It is now time that we truly are united and we take Vics lead. Whilst absolutely understandable, the protests of fans are all invain and will only add more pressure on an already fragile group of players. Treat saturday like you are watching a bunch of under 10's play and give gentle encouragement.
This team needs to fight now or Newcastle will not exist in a few years time and that is a fact. If we go down Ashley will liquidate the club.
Rubbish Des. there have been no protests of any sustance. Ashley was frightened some seasons ago and felt intimated and it worked he put the club up for sale. The McKeag days had fans making this awful man fleeing from Newcastle. Unless the fans make Ashley think twice you and I and every other fan will have to accept Newcatle United is almost dead and burried,
There are peacful protests and we need get them working and now.
Players do not want to sign for Newcastle under this regime and the players there do not want to play for the club. Colback already is regretting his switch.
When I say Rubbish. Des you are in Australia you need see Newcastle when this team has performed since Christmas. Something needs doing and we the fans need to do it.
Desree, I actually want pardew out more than I want Ashley out. I hope the fans make it hell for him, he will just take us down if he doesn't leave
The Sackpardew.com site is organising a substantial protest inside SJP on Saturday. Let's hope this can develop some momentum and see P45 get the long overdue chop. The next stage should be to produce 'Sports Direct Out' banners whenever we're on MoTD.
I've watched every game live lads and it has been junk.
And yes ashley did put the club up for sale. But he didn't sell it and we went down.
Lads the more you shout and scream the more stubborn he will become.
All i know is that 50,000 people screaming for blood won't make this team perform.
The best way to hurt ashley is to not turn up. Think of the extra coverage sports direct will get when it gets beamed all over the world that newcastle fans went nuts.
Being outside Newcastle I can tell you that most pundits, fans etc feel sorry for pardew and the owner.
It would have far more impact to not turn up. Protesting will just fuel the worlds perception that toon fans are unreasonable and unrealistic.
of course nothing that smart would ever happen. we will get the moronic 'the fans will buy the club' line and 2008 will happen all over again.
If we all want Ashley gone then protesting won't do it.
and I don't want to be getting up at 4am on a tuesday to watch newcastle play preston north end again!
Yep the only way is for the fans to take some action & make both of these clowns feel very uncomfortable
Protests about SD banners in SJP saying how poor SD is and outside SD if SD if they could get away with it would certainly cause havoc for Ashley
Take it to him like he has taken away from the fans
Ashley hates confrontation and always has done that is why he is the way he is
It is inherent and You will never see a one on one with this man
Let's face it he could not be anymore ignorant arrogant and disrespectful to anything to do with Newcastle and is saying if that's all you got I can handle it
It's the fans time to step up and give him some sleepness nights
Its all getting a bit silly now Vida mate.
Fair enough ashley and pardew are muppets but its just a football club. I'm glad I won't be taking my son to a game if it means 50000 fans screaming for someone to be sacked.
Just my opinion lads and nothing personal, I respect everyones right to protest.
If you had seen the confrontations in the past and indeed some recent ones in the UK against owners This is Mild.
Taking your son to the matches is like asking him to eat his greens especially if the team is Newcastle.
Ashley is arrogantly putting 2 fingers up and saying you can not do anything and I do not care what you do, Just pay your money and be happy you haver a football team.
Vida if you were making 70m quid profit for the next 3 years would 50,000 people complaining about you make you decide to give it all up?
Ashley won't even be at the ground. The only say the fans have is to take their hard earned cash elsewhere.
So I get that everyone has paid for season tickets. How about a boycott of cup games?
surely that would get Mike Ashley listening. let's face it, we usually send out a second string team that gets beat
anyway!
It also sends out a very clear message to the media, protests are pointless because they always end up in aggro and they are a magnet for the thugs.
Des What a normal person and what Ashley does are 2 different things.
Yes it is up to the fans paying their money BUT there is a huge part of the gate already holding season tickets and their support for this season was based on the new signings and the piffle from Pardew that a striker and defender may also be brought in.
Quote. We will be active right up to the transfer deadline
Well they were selling only.
Cup games Agree 100%
Whateverer there is wrong with this clubs NEEDS putting right by the fans and complaining is only part of what they need to do.
Vida everyone wason here stating that the early signings were only to boost season ticket sales. We made 3 very good signings in cabella, janmaat and de jong.
We all know the game Ashley plays and we still go on thinking this year will be different.
If all we do is turn up at matches with banners and shout abuse we will lose every game. Even if a new manager comes in why would the players want to play for tha fans? Being shouted at by 50000 people is an awful experience.
If we really are united surely fans would be willing to sacrifice just one game in protest? of course for this to happen every fan would have to agree that they wanted Pardew sacked.
As usual though we will see the usual nonsens of a march in the city and some banners.
Could you imagine the impact around the world if newcastle played to an empty St James park?
Not only would it impact sports direct but broadcasters won't be paying ashley to broadcast games from an empty stadium.
on the flip side imaginehow much tvexposure and money ashley will make from this saturdays protest.
I just wish for once that the fans would just stop and think through their actions.
I personally think the protest is more about mild terrace thuggery and a return to the 80's when you felt unsafe going to a game.
It is not the way to gain media support.
The world would be blown away by an empty SJP.
Vida I'll even let you have the idea as your own, you can spearhead the campaign. I'll watch the mackems live in protest from here!
