well let him just go because there is the best decission he should take ,staying in Newcastle is not the best for him, let him just go and start a new contract with another club ,thatis the best way.

Two points:

1. Your article is a vehicle to reprint Ashley’s statement and in itself is condescending and poorly formulated. Your “Hope you guys are happy now” comment warrents a slap in the face with a small family car you prick.

2. Mike Ashley misses the point entirely. his reference to Arsenal’s style of management hi-lights this, when have Arsenal ever had such an under qualified “director of football” as Wise? And when have Arsenal as a business failed to back their manager?

Surely even the most ardent anti Ashley NUFC fan should simply be saying, “we respectfully disagree, but thank you for hearing us.”

I can’t believe some people are still giving him more criticism.

Fuly agree with the article and some of the comments, ridiculously short sighted by the fans, and Ashley’s biggest mistake was appointing Keegan in the first place. You complain about Keegan being undermined? If the reports of Keegans transfer targets were true then you should have been thanking high heaven for Ashleys intervention, not the other way round. I guess love is blind though.

I am convinced we would have been relegated last season as well as skint if Ashley had not come in, sacked Allardyce and paid off most of the debt.
Remember Leeds,Forest,Sheff Wed,Wolves.
An Illustrious list of once great clubs.
Ashley has saved us from a similar fate and it is appalling the the hostile way he has been treated.

Hello

Jude! your slip is showing (red & white one), you must be a closet mackem. I didn’t agree with all the demonstrations, but we are not living in an Iraq state are we?

It is fare paying peoples rights, for to protest as long as it is done peacefully and within the law, but the point has been made & enforced, so Ashley has got the message now and watch this space.

Howay the lads.

@Ribble

Is it our fault the media feel the need to focus on us so much? We’d be more than happy if they gave us some peace. They could easily concentrate on the similar situation at West Ham, or the laughable antics of the Liverpool owners, but for some reason they find what goes on at NUFC more important – why is that?

No !! The sooner the fans realise we are NOT the same team That kevin took over last Time and we will NOT achieve this style of football over night the better to many fan’s are living in the past !! The sooner they get behind the team regardless of who is in charge the better. I am a season ticket holder who has signed up for 3 years but the way we treated Ashley is disgusting have we all forgotten that Shepard had us nearly bankrupt !! MIke if you ever read any of these comments thank you for giving me a club to support and Good luck for the Future !!
