From Toon fan 'Fog-on-the-tyne':
Biggest disgrace to a black and white shirt? ...
... In the Colin Murray programme on Radio 5 Live this afternoon, Toon supporters voted again for Mike Ashley in the Number 1 slot. Now I know that with his big belly, Ashley doesn't look too smart in a Toon strip, but 'biggest disgrace to a black and white shirt', do me a favour.
He owns the club, get over it. He runs the club like a business, get over it. He attends just about every Toon match .... respect it. We're not saddled with debt .... celebrate it.
Listen, I've lived through having Lord Westwood (he's a pirate!) for a chairman who treated supporters like dirt.
I now live and work in London and can look objectively at how the club is being run and it strikes me that it's being run rather well, thank you very much.
Biggest disgrace to a black and white shirt for me was Marcelino who spent about 6 months out on full wages with a sore thumb, or Michael Owen who pocketed £110k a week yet walked around with a face like he'd smelt a wet fart.
The new management regime has no time for these types of spongers. All in all, it's about time that we cut Mr Ashley a bit of slack ... in my opinion.
