I never mentioned the thickness of his skin.
He did something childish, no question but there was a decent gathering of chikdish folk.

I thought it was just one person? Is that a ‘decent gathering’?

You did wade in after I rebutted the suggestion of him being thick-skinned.

Do you believe he is ‘thick-skinned’ and ‘doesn’t care what we think’ considering what he did last night due to the actions of ‘one fan’?

‘All night’


I don’t see much widespread ridicule from other supporters (outside of Sunderland) and the media on this fwiw. The tone is starting to shift a little in the media too

Outside the North East, nobody gives a fuck about Mike Ashley.

Look what has happened to clubs like Charlton, Leyton orient, Leeds etc. These are clubs that have been owned by crooks who were asset stripping, their supporters had something to moan about, they are owners that are worth protesting about and having the media apply pressure.

There is just no self awareness from (admittedly not all) your support. You have absolutely no idea what suffering is when it comes to supporting a football team.

Which is exactly why others think of them as entitled, spolit bairns who really need to get a grip.

Seems to get quite a bit of national coverage for there being little interest in him.

I’d say the tide has changed quite a bit in the last few months tbf from the glib ‘deluded Geordies’ mantra that has been blanket in the past. Quite a few are starting to be sympathetic to our cause.

It doesn't really does it.

A few knackers like Richard Keys and Adrian Durham know how to generate publicity / clicks by winding you up but I must have missed the hour long panorama special about how that bastard Ashley has killed nufc.

So people do give a fuck about Mike Ashley then? Seems at odds with the previous statement.

Who mentioned Newcastle? The original assertion that no-one gave a fuck about Mike Ashley. It wasn’t limited to just Newcastle United.

Mike Ashley has only been national news since this morning?

Mike Ashley is one of the biggest employers (not necessarily in a positive way) in the country so evidently not. He is, however, only brought to the media's attention with regards to NUFC due to the shit he receives from your fans. Do you think this just puts him in a bad light or your fans?

For what reason is he usually in the news outside of Newcastle United? It’s usually for being in dispute with suppliers and landlords or mistreating his workforce, isn’t it?

There seems to be a common denominator in both that and the current events at Newcastle. You come across as intelligent enough I’m sure you know the answer.

Do you think the way he treats suppliers, landlords and his workforce puts any of those in a bad light?

He does indeed but is that why a load of blokes stood in the cold outside of a restaurant last night - to campaign about working conditions at Sports Direct depots?
