    So with Ashleys reign hopefully soon at an end. I thought we would have a little poll to discuss the many failures of the cockney mafia.

    For me the dismissal of KK as this changed and dispelled the initial optimism that had existed following Ashley’s purchase of the Club and set the tone for the rest of his dictatorship.

    Jo Kinnear twice.

    I seriously could not believe it, man is likely an alcoholic judging by how he sometimes comes across and he's on deaths ****ing door constantly.

    Im 100% positive it was to give him a few quid.

    Think he has been excelling himself this Corona Virus season. Thought being the first Premier League to furlough our non-playing staff was right up there. Hope the new owners come in and pay all the money claimed to date back to the government

    The Keegan thing was the worst thing.
    A club Legend.
    Belittled

    The beginning of the end

    JFK though an odd appointment didn't DIY any worse than some other managers appointed.

    If the option was there I would have chosen Chris Houghton sacking

    Was the recruitment of McClaren.a shock? We all know Ashley does everything on the cheap and would do everything he could to avoid paying for a a manger, so an out of work McClaren was perfect for him. Likewise making Carver manager was completely predictable as it was the cheap option. Giving Pardew a huge contract wasn't a mega surprise either as we clearly knew he was a yes man who put up with the **** behinds the scenes, so perfectly for Ashley.

    The most Wtf moment for me was the fact we managed to attract a manager of Rafa's quality to work under such a stupid regime. The fact he left was no surprise at all.

    But didn’t Rafa’s “people” approach NUFC as opposed to NUFC approach Rafa?

    Still, I can’t understand how Penfold got Cashers to sign off on the salary.

    Wise was a big part of the Wimbledon crew back in the day. He's a cocky mouthy little dwarf and was raised around bullies.

    Dennis Wise honestly has one of those faces you’d just love to give a belt.

    Cretin.

    I voted JFK because of all the penny pinching, pig-ignorant, shambolic decisions this monumental thundercunt has made, that decision - made twice, mind you - was a very deliberate middle finger at the fans. It came at the height of the (quite embarrassing) 'cockney mafia' comments and there's literally nobody more cockney than Kinnear.

    Ashley's a horrific individual. It's incredible he basically trousers £300m in a day or two. 13 years of neglect, harm, almost sociopathic abuse of a footballing institution and he walks away scot free with £300m in the bank. The World's in a bad place.
