    He's way ahead of you.

    He's not actually Fat Mike. He's Skinny Mike, but has been wearing a bulletproof vest since 1996.

    The only way to hurt Mike is to hurt his businesses. There is very little scope to do that though. Boycotts and protests would make little difference to him as it would only be the Newcastle stores affected. Perhaps if someone with a lot of know how started up a campaign about his business practices there would be more possibilities, but it would be difficult to tie that into a protest about how he was running the club.

    Mate sometimes I'm amazed this hasn't happened yet. Like a sea of tanked up fans at St. James's, just had enough, do him over Gadaffi style

    The way he's run sports direct and ran his staff into the ground has been documented enough, thing is consumers don't care.
    I'm wearing a Nike hoody, thinking about it **** knows what kid in a 3rd world country could have med this.

    That's the problem. We're all really good at being principled until it starts to affect us (myself included).

    I'm sure I mentioned SANE.

    Its a well known fact that clubs signing players on deadline day only do so, out of panic....<ok>

    Clubs with a PLAN, have transfers wrapped up beforehand.

    Hard to see how that would have hurt him as I think they are all concessions and he already has the money for those.

    There was a plan, but, unfortunately fans weren't listening when MA said there was **** all money available.
    Were people actually thinking he was kidding, just having a laugh, and then he would be stumping up money hand over fist at the end. A bit naïve of anyone thinking that way.

    So why spend almost £20M on 2 wingers?

    If we were still chasing players then there must have still been a bit more money available than what was spent. It's another transfer window where we haven't been able to get hold of the players we wanted. Something must be being done wrong for that to keep happening.

    Well I suppose you are told this all the time off the lads on the Newcastle board but you sure do sound like a right boring ****.

    So are you giving Ashley the benefit of the doubt and its Charnley's fault.

    Early in the TW, and then they crapped themselves, when the fees exploded.

    In the short term I do think he is the biggest cancer in the club. In the long term we've got the problem that Mike thinks this is the guy to run the club just the way he wants.
