Mike Ashley
« Previous EntriesRenaming St James’ Park is just terrible
Thursday, November 10th, 2011We laughed at the adding of Sports Direct @ St James’ Park naming but it was something done to prepare us for the worst bit of advertising that Ashley could thing of. Renaming St James’ Park to Sports Direct Arena is a terrible idea to say the least and Ashley will know full well that [...]
Double Standards At Newcastle As Carroll Exits
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011After month’s of Pardew denying that Carroll would not be going anywhere, is it of little surprise that Carroll has now left the club for big money. However, I guess no one expected the £35m tag making him the most expensive gamble in English Prem history. Carroll is however saying that he was forced out [...]
CONFIRMED- Alan Pardew: Manager of Newcastle United
Thursday, December 9th, 2010Today, Alan Pardew has been officially put in place as manager of Newcastle United on a 5 year contract which will see him in place until 2016. This news comes as a poll yesterday asked fans who they favoured put only 2% surveyed as liking Pardew. But now with everything signed, we can’t do much [...]
Ashley’s Grand Plan To Backfire?
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010If rumours are true, Martin Jol has already had discussions with NUFC and all is not well. Again, speculation here but the deal is all based on team performance which is not going down well with the Dutchman. Clueless Mike Ashley may have to hedge his bets on Alan Pardew who is apparently desperate for [...]
New Manager Installed By The Weekend?
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010It’s little surprise that the media tend to treat Newcastle United with some derision but in this case they have a point. Ashley’s knee-jerk reaction would probably knock a lot of confidence from the team already trying to climb a tight table. Hughton exited the stage yesterday but had all the dignity as you would expect [...]
Newcastle United Not For Sale
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010It was reported in the papers today that Freddy Shepherd was once again trying to form a consortium to buy back Newcastle United from Mike Ashley. This is pretty much news to me but the club released a statement early to quell any of this nonsense: “Newcastle United have had no contact from anybody regarding [...]
Newcastle United End on 100 Point High
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010A tidy Lovernkrands goal was enough to see off QPR on a rainy dull Sunday at Loftus Road. The win signalled the end of an awesome season which has seen Newcastle get their act together. All credit to the team and manager. The damage of getting relegated could have triggered a meltdown at the club. [...]
Newcastle Win Still Leaves Unanswered Questions
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010A solid win over Doncaster with contraversial Adny Carroll inevitably supplying the goal to seal us 3 points. We now stand 5 points clear of West Brom and 10 points clear of the play off zone. A win against Nottingham Forest on Monday will almost guarantee us of automatic promotion with fewer and fewer games [...]
Ashley Wants Wage Cuts
Thursday, March 11th, 2010It sometimes stuns me when I read what papers print without proper facts to back up what they say. These guys write stuff in the papers to make a living whilst us humble bloggers just express personal opinion from a fan’s perspective. So you’d expect a certain degree of investigation work with the old journos [...]
A$hley Keeps Newcastle United In Play
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Like him or loathe him, Mike Ashley is still not a popular man around fans right now but he continues to lose around £500,000 a week to to keep the club from avoiding the same problems as Pompey and Cardiff. Ironically, the man we love to hate is saving the club from a worse fate [...]
