I thought so. I downloaded his tweets between 7 and 8pm on Saturday night. He sent 120 tweets from three devices (iPhone, android and web browser) - some were sent within 1 or 2 seconds of each other. Quite a feat for someone who
Is “blind as a bat”.

Yep then another tweet surfaced from 2012 so he quickly made his account private then deleted all of his naughty tweets.

Jesus that’s a lot of tweets. The last time I tweeted that much was when PIF released the statement last year officially pulling out of the takeover.
Seems he’s a fan of the show :D

The coastguard has identified the stench just off the coast at Cullercoats, it was narrowed down to a sewerage outlet, that emanated from the Tyneside area, and coincided with Ronaldo signing Man U - the mags next match.
 
You do realise that you were mortgaged to the hilt in order to pay for those 5 seasons and that it was not sustainable. Even if Hall and Shepherd had stayed, your day in the sun was over and the slide had already started.
I'm impressed by the certainty you have that the only possible future under Hall and Shepherd was financial ruin.

Hall and Shepherd were spending beyond our means chasing the moon, but that doesn't mean a) they would continue, b) Ashley was the only possible new owner around or, c) neglecting the club is better.

We can go in circles for decades if you want, but Ashley has clearly no ambition for Newcastle beyond surviving in the Premier League on as modest a budget as possible (see this transfer window for proof). He's turned us into the turd that won't flush (except for the 2 times it did). You might think that's aspirational for us, but when clubs like Leicester, Brighton, Leeds, Wolves, West Ham, have all shown more ambition than Newcastle, it proves that it's not reckless to want more than mere survival.

You, as a Sunderland fan, might think Newcastle United are destined to be bottom half due to petty rivalry. But the same logic that says no club deserves to stay up, says no club is bound to be bottom half, either.

If Ashley has decided funding that progress is above his means (and interests), surely the best thing he can do is keep a steady ship, keep it running nicely, sitting on Premier League mediocrity - so any perspective new owners see the potential?
