I agree Wise has done a first class job, a first class job of exposing Mike Ashely as the devil in disguse. For years directors and managers have been stealing money from Newcastle. For example, buying Boumsong for eight million, this is nothing short of theft. Yet the chairmans son gets a massive two million pound fee for working as an agent. Football is being destroyed by money, the law is an ass and big business men can get away with it. Ashely wants people to stop protesting as he wont be able to sell and make a profit. If this was anyother manager for example graham Souness he would have just taken a pay rise. I have the up most respect for keegan who isnt driven by money but by success.

Well said Eddy. I have to say though that Ashley do sounds like a fans in his official statement. I completely agree with the mentioned policies but Keegan has transformed the team even before any transfer was done under his regime. We scored goals, won matches and played good football with Aldaryce players under Keegan. Keegan is probably the only one who can do this. Its the NUFC passion in him. One thing Ashley also didnt mentioned is the fact that he was in North America at the time Keegan resign. He should have talked more to Keegan BEFORE NOT AFTER KK has given up. He should have comprimise structures of the board if needed. But the fact is he wasnt even in UK to interfere. With that fact his statement sounds more like a defensive excuse isnt? Fans wont forgive him unless some miracle happen such as Keegan back, Shearer take managerial position, or a buyer come in with correct price. Well good luck Ashley.. none will happen
