Spot on. And I wouldn’t sanctimoniously call Bob a ‘blow hard’ either.

Is this replacing Flag Day?

I suspect Ferrite was aware of the implication.

‘And we get back to the real job at hand which is getting our club back up the table and beyond.’
The only problem with this is the ‘we’ aspect Josh. There isn’t and hasn’t been a ‘we’ for a number of years and doesn’t look likely to be.

Can you cite any examples of when this sort of arrangement has worked out well for a football club in the lower leagues?

You’d have to be completely naive not to know what’s going on and has been from day one. Most of us on here are long in the tooth supporters and understand it. The time for doing anything about it, if ever an opportunity existed, has long past. If anyone still believes he has any interest in the club as a footballing concern I’d suggest seeing a mental health expert.

Why would anyone knock on his door when they know he doesn’t want to sell? The property development is lucrative enough and screw the football.

☝️ and that’s it as far as I can see. Gradually and stealthily put over a barrel. The interests of supporters and the owner are diametrically opposed and have been since the failed Championship attempts.

‘why not just concentrate on your flats an buildings and not bother with a football club’.
That seems to be what’s happened since the failed promotion gamble to the Championship.

And meanwhile the stadium’s been left to rot.

I haven’t watched a single match on ifollow this season so I don’t feel qualified to contribute to the state of affairs on the pitch. However, I feel for the many who have and you deserve much better. Disgraceful respect and attitude from the Board. Pitiful.

John Lydon’s words seem apt: ‘ever got the feeling you’ve been cheated?’

‘A few thousand fans baying for blood may cause him to think again’.
Just two points about that NI. One, it won’t happen, two, it won’t happen.

I honestly don’t see how the current situation could have been prevented by the fans and sadly I think it’s been designed that way.

‘and in particular the fans all standing together and saying ” NO “.’
Yes. And let’s hope this is the start of more of them doing more for EFL clubs by taking a stand when it’s not just an issue that directly effects them. Ferrite’s point in the OP I believe. Flying pigs, but I live in hope.

As much as I agree with you Ferrite, I can’t see it happening. Can’t see this review changing much just I don’t think Johnson’s legal threat made any difference to the u turn. The big clubs still hold the power and behind the scenes they may well view it as ‘you’re lucky to have us’. I think all this apology is tokemism. Hope I’m wrong.

Might have a look at those myself Ferrite. Cheers.

I’m sure some Newcastle fans will be NI, not all. There’s still a risk here of viewing fans of these clubs as one homogenous mass (what Thatcher and the corporates did), which we know they’re not, and as you’ve already pointed out above. I Agree with many of yours and Ferrite’s sentiments though.

You may have seen this article already Ferrite? Differing views, some I can empathise with others absolutely not…

Two things have made me chuckle today.
Gary Neville, one of the Prems rich list, slavvering about greed in football….remind us again Gary how many prem players voted for a cut in wages to keep lower League clubs afloat?And probably THE funniest thing, Deerey have conniptions about sweeping generalisations.
” Anyone who voted for Brexit is a racist”
Hmmmmm
Two things: what’s a ‘conniption’, and who’s the quote from? It certainly isn’t from me and if you’re insinuating it is, it’s a blatant lie.
That aside, are you able to stick to the topic instead of bringing Brexit and meaningless whataboutery in to it? Haven’t you learnt anything?
