Bring back Ashley
Did I hear correctly on Saturday night? Did a lady (old enough to know better) actually say “It has ruined my whole life”? It would have been understandable, if she was canoeing through her uninsured house, as a flood victim, but this was “Match of the day”. The lady in question was giving her “thoughts” concerning the “goings on” at Newcastle United football club.
Listen lady, if I had spent 135 million pounds on Newcastle United football club, I would have Keegan driving me in a golf buggy along the touchline while I shouted the instructions to the players. Well, maybe not, but I would be sitting on the bench, dressed as a substitute and going on for the last corner every week irrespective of the score line.
Shouldn’t Ashley have some power? What ever happened to the Hollywood expression “Money talks, nonsense walks”?
So, let’s work this out? Here, is a guy, who has pumped money into the comatosed giant that is Newcastle United, and still, he has no say? That is like paying for first class on a plane, only to be frog marched to economy to sit next to the flatulent fat guy who is throwing up.
And here’s a thought, if Keegan loves Newcastle so much, why doesn’t he use his influence to recruit millionaire friends to form a consortium to take over the club; at least telephone Niall Quinn and ask him how he did it.
Anyway, that is my opinion; of course I could be wrong.
