despite being shamelessly emotive on the subject of ashley, on account of the fact i detest the air the fat cunt breathes, im always up for sensible discussion.
im an absolutely painfully slow typer so have therefore shamelessly lifted the below from newcastle online. i should say i could add more to it if required. what do you reckon ashley has added in a postive sense to the history of nufc?....
'm just making a timeline of Ashley being Ashley, i'm very sure im missing stuff:
Hired Denis Wise as Executive Director.
Hired Tony Jimenez, who later claimed Modric wasn’t good enough for the Premier League
Sold James Milner and replaced him with Xisco and Nacho Gonzalez
Forced Kevin Keegan Out as manager, which resulted in a court case where it got proven the club has intentionally misled the fans.
Hired Joe Kinnear as manager, who in his first press conference called a member of the press a c***.
Hired Alan Shearer in a last ditch effort to keep us up.
Got relegated.
Told Alan Shearer he had a job then never got back to him.
Lost 6-1 to Leyton Orient.
Got promoted, sacked Christ Huoughton the club favourite manager after his first poor run of games back in the Premier League, and following a 5-1 victory against Sunderland.
Hired Alan Pardew as they went to the same casino
Under Alan Pardew Newcastle lost…
4-0 to Wigan, 3-0 to Man Utd, 7-3 to Arsenal, 4-0 to Man City, 6-0 to Liverpool, 3-0 to Sunderland, 4-0 to Man City again, 3-0 to Swansea, 3-0 to Sunderland again, 3-0 to Chelsea, 4-0 to Spurs, 3-0 to Everton, 4-0 to Southampton, 4-0 to Man United, 3-0 to Arsenal, 4-0 to Southampton again, 1-0 to Sunderland, 2-1 to Sunderland. But hey he finished 5th once.
Hired Joe Kinnear as DOF.
Re-named St James Park to the Sports Direct Arena.
Had Wonga as a sponsor.
Hired John Carver as manager who nearly got us relegated.
Tried to sack Jonas Gutierrez after they found out he had cancer.
Released Jonas, by calling Ryan Taylors phone.
Hired Steve McLaren as manager.
Fired Steve McLaren, and appointed Rafa Benitez as manager in a last ditch to keep us up.
Got relegated.
Got promoted under the leadership of Rafa, who would later guide the club to a top 10 finish and keep the club up comfortable. Despite being hamstrung financially.
Let Rafa go at the end of his club as he was too ambitious.
The club are currently in the position where they have no manager, no goal threat, and looking into oblivion
