I'm somewhat a Newcastle sympathiser these days as my mate is a Toon fan so takes me down. Part of me hopes that every manager Newcastle approach stick the middle finger up at Ashley so he gets the message, but then that's a perilous road to go down, because the further down the barrel you start to scrape, there will be plenty who want to go, even those clearly not cut out for the job.
Then again, Ashley has a track record of making false promises to managers and selling the club well, only to throw managers under the bus by not backing them. You'd think most managers these days wouldn't listen to a single word that comes out the fat ****ers mouth.
