I think the man is FREE to do whatever he wants with his money and with HIS club!

First of all, they're not celebrities, but OK.

Second, and more importantly, that's not his job. He could get away with doing that if he had anything whatsoever to celebrate and be happy about, but he doesn't. He hasn't improved Newcastle at all since he took over; in fact, he's made the club worse because now the fans are all against him and may not show up to home games.

So, let me get this straight, you think Mike Ashley is a moron because he travels abroad, drinks beer, and likes to party with celebrities? You can call me a moron too because that sounds fantastic!

David, let's be serious. Jose Enrique is mediocre at best. Andy Carroll is fine but he's not even being given a chance right now. Guthrie couldn't hack it at Liverpool, where Benitez has shown that he'll play young players if they're good enough. James Milner is the U-21 captain, not Taylor, though Taylor is your best young player (I don't count Martins in that vein). Kazenga Lua Lua is a name to watch in the future, you're right.

Point is, there isn't much in the way of young talent, I'm sorry. It's a group filled with players that are getting older and aren't developing as much as they are regressing.

But the majority of Newcastle fans have season tickets and, in some cases, three year season tickets after MA's pre-season offer. Not turning up to the matches will make no difference to Ashley as he already has fans' hard-earned money for the next three years. So it would be much better to turn up to matches, support the team, and boycott the food, drinks, Shearer's Bar and all other NUFC related products, including Ashley's chain of shops such as Lilywhites and Sports Direct.

Just try and get a bit of an insight into background of the situation before labelling us betraying sheep…
