    Absolutely this .................. that fat greedy bastard is going nowhere. If we survive relegation this season he will lump another £50m onto 'the price' just to move a sale further away from reality.

    YES I would. A thousand times yes. The day Ashley packs is bags is the day this club starts putting its worst and most ridiculous period I've been alive for behind it. Maybe its most ridiculous ever. He supposedly saved the club from financial ruin but there's no real hope for improvement. In fact, expect further decline, because look at this:

    He took over in May 2007 and that's an unmistakable downward trend over the following ten years, despite that one good Pardew season. Things have been more optimistic lately, and thank **** - but we'd be second-bottom at this moment but for a freak result against Man U, and being in more serious worry about a third relegation in 11 Ashley seasons.

    And sooner or later he's going to drive away only the second proper manager Newcastle has had this century. Rafa might not get it right every time but he's spent his career winning the biggest trophies at various clubs, he 100% undoubtedly will do great things if allowed the funds, and we won't get one like him again for a long time. Newcastle could lose Lascelles for nothing and take it in stride but I shudder to think of life after Rafa, he's crucial. I'd urge people to not get on his back unless thoroughly deserved.

    Now, I am not like a certain forum member but anyone wanting the first player we have had in a very very long time who is not only bloody good but also a fantastic leader and someone who appears to give a **** about the club out of this club in exchange to get rid of a silly fat man is pure stupidty.

    Yes MA is a knobber with some of the things he has done but some people have very short memories over certain past owners over the last 40 years!

    Then please argue your case at considerable length, preferable using statistics which you massaged accordingly and not forgetting to liberally use the phrase Happy Clappers for all the people who dont agree with your view, whenever possible.

    To be honest, and it may be age, I'm tiring of the whole charade. I may have to give this up. You'll know when I drop the avatar of the warm pouch pumping the sheep <cheers>

    Yeh bit like all my other favourite players I wouldn't have traded MA for:
    Carroll-gone
    Nolan-gone
    Ba-gone
    Cabaye-gone
    Remy- loaned instead of bought, then gone.
    Lascelles will be the latest on that list if MA is still here anyway mate.
    Not saying it'd be different without, but would I like to add to Lascelles' inevitable sale the end of the Ashley era? Yep, pretty much.

    The reason I have a short memory is because I'm in my 20s and grew up in the entertainers era.
    You may aswell be telling me how hard it was during the war :biggrin:

    This sounds like a very bitter post at the sudden realisation you've allowed yourself to be tortured by a fellow poster, while he has all along had an avatar telling you he is doing it.

    Look it happens to the best of us. Well I say us, but I'd never allow myself to get bothered by this kind of behaviour. Now come on lets be friends <hug>

    Carroll - and he has done what since?
    Nolan - and he has done what since?
    Ba - and he has done what since?
    Cabaye - and what has he done since?
    Remy - and what has he done since?

    Also - only Nolan was a born leader like Lascelles but he never gave a **** about the club in the way Lascelles does. plus he was aging and declining.

    <laugh>Hey look mate it's 2018 so whatever floats your boat lad, personally I'm more into Benitstiality but there you go.
    And I try to keep telling you, writing comments about Newcastle on a Newcastle forum tends to bring Newcastle related replies!
    But, fear not, you are my friend! I just really need you to stop with these odd fantasies that I'm a sheep and you're ****ing me!

    Yeh but it's all relative. Will we say the same of Lascelles as the rest? If he ****s off to Chelsea this summer, probably yes.

    Plus, he's yet to have his resolve to stay tested by rejected bids from other clubs. If we get rid of Benitez and get in a Pardew/Mclaren type manager, what reason will he have to stay? Its not some club he's supported since a boy. That was Forest I believe, and he left there pretty happily

    Don't knock it until you've tried it. That's what Jakarta Toon told me. I haven't got round to it but I see no reason he'd lie about such things.

    That’s very noble of you but I am not sure Mike would value that at 50million (maybe you could throw in a Blow Job each for him and Charnley).
