By ‘come out fighting’, do you mean calling the owner nasty names, holding a mock funeral or simply talk about boycoutting games but still turning up. The reality is that rather than ‘sitting idly by’, the ‘overwhelming majority’ of Sunderland fans actually voted with their feet and decided to stay away until changes were made, hopefully we’ll see the benefit of this action in a few years time.

I can just imagine the scene at the landfill:
Ashley - Any news today?

Charnley - Aye, half a dozen auld fellas are walking around outside with what looks like a cardboard coffin, a couple of scratters are waving pissy bedsheets around shouting boycoutt and a letter arrived in the post calling you a nasty name.

Ashley - What was the attendance at the last game?

Charnley - A sell out boss.

Ashley (rubbing hands together) - Wheyheyy champion, what were you saying earlier about a coffin made of bedsheets that came in the post, ahh forget it, I’m off to the casino.

One method appears to have worked, the other is just a waste of time, I’ll leave you to work which is which.

So the empty ground was a protest then? Hadaway and shyte will you, you stayed away because the football was crap.. Don't give me this was some kind of protest.

Can I ask what you’re going to do about Ashley and the running of the club if you’re so unhappy?

Antony from Newcastle, dear me hopefully Talksport put his phone call online.

His best 2 were, "me and my son are season ticket holders, my son is 10 and you know what, he's never seen Newcastle beat Sunderland, his first away game was at Sunderland he was 4 and we lost" He also suggested standing at the turnstiles and stopping people from going in on match days.

Why did he sell merino I thought you lot said he was quality

Merino had a £10m release clause, and according to reports and comments always planned on going back to Spain after a year or two. Apparently wouldn't have agreed to sign permanently unless a low release clause was in the contract.
Shame we didn't have him longer as I thought he was promising.

Couple of my Mag mates reckon that when Spain sacked their manager before the World Cup the Newcastle board immediately got in contact with the Spanish FA and asked them if they fancied appointing Rafa, you heard out like that?
 
Sima said:
Now those changes have taken place your gates should return to over 40K (even 45k) immediately, right?

After all you have stated the reason for the gates to have dropped was due to the administration of Ellis Short.

An intelligent person would realise that gates have dropped as a result of poor administration and relegations, but yes, gates will return to 40k+ when the club’s returns to the top flight with new administration.

I genuinely don't know, I know all the mock funerals and all that are cringe as hell and achieve nothing. Ashley either wants to sell and can't find a buyer, or doesn't want to sell, us lot shouting abuse at him wont change that.

However I personally will never discourage anyone from trying, I would rather these people do all this crap and have you lot laughing than have us as a fan base do nothing. Just like a while back, some of your lot tried to organise a banner, it almost ended in fisty cuffs as it was "mag like" Feck me,

How much profit did you make on him after transfer fee, agents fee, signing on fee, wages?

Why the top flight? 40K is nothing in the championship tbh. You should be looking at that at least now the reason for the stayaways has been removed.

You can then go to 45K plus if/when you get back to the top division.

Excactly Janey, but the mags will claim it's a reverse psychology thing :lol:

Like I said, if I was a player under him (obvious death :lol: ) I'd be f***ing furious.


Please say this is true :lol: or a whoosh?

100% true, he was crying for about five minutes about Ashley and mentioned Sunderland about four times. Proper parody accent as well, I wish I could remember some "querts"
