Good post but I don't agree it's all about cash, I think he likes to flex his power and seek vengeance for his bruised ego. If it was simply about the cash why not do it sooner, why not do it when we were relegated when we 'needed' the cash? I can't believe a company would risk coming in and anyone from 'international branding experts' to the fucking tea lady would say don't do this, no-one will buy it and you'll be hated. He knows this, he's not daft. So it's free advertising to SD and another fuck you to the fans who sing nasty things about him. 'Dekka they're still singing that fahkin song!' 'Okay boss, I'll have a word with them'...../releases condescending guff 'I heard that song again Del Boy! What did I say you specky cahnt!' 'I'm sorry Mike, I don't know what else to do.' 'I fahkin do, let's do away with St James' Park.' .......... Ego's got him all that cash.

It's the corporate equivalent of burning the flag. He should be tarred and feathered and chased out of town for this stunt.

Good piece http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/8882671/Newcastle-United-owner-Mike-Ashley-is-setting-fire-to-a-famous-history-writes-Henry-Winter.html

A platoon of balaclava clad paintballers would make short shrift of the high signs, firing black and white 'bullets'.

Shame Llambias didn't consult this expert. If he really consulted any experts at all in the first place. Certainly didn't consult the people who matter the most - us. The only ex spurt these two pricks have ever consulted is eachother's manfat. How's that for libel?

It's easily explained when you recognise Ashley is a narcissist. Would it be libel to run that story?

Constortium isn't the answer man, we need to be owned by a sovvie ring state.

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder in which the individual is described as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity. Narcissistic personality disorder is closely linked to self-centeredness.

Would he have done it if we were struggling in 16th?

Did you notice the way he said they had been in touch with several leading branding agencies who had recommended this course of action which they then could not ignore. As if they'd spend the money for a start, but also then passing blame along to these unknown, unnamed, more than likely made up 'experts'.

Aye, that is a story in itself, slipped out accidently imo. Probably Unless he means Smith!

I coming home Mike Ashley For the latest Sports Direct Sale.

I suspect Ashley believes he's already paid for all this branding, which is why we'll see nothing from it.

Pissed off I've had to cough up to maintain this site when you could have 'brought in' a sponsor lads.

Llambias has tipped his hand here, 'we're doing this to help us compete with the big boys' 'we'll need this money because we'll need replacements in the summer (when we sell our best players to the big boys)' Which is it we are doing then?

I don't think anyone will 'come in' as Dekka requests. I don't think we'll see this extra money, this will just be Sports Direct Arena until Ashley goes. You're kidding yourselves if you think this will lead to improvements on the pitch.

Rumours of press conference tomorrow renaming the stadium Sports Direct Arena. https://www.facebook.com/UnitedForNewcastle

That is mint. Look more like Hazel to me.

Missed out 'a God' tbf.

I sometimes drink in the pub and sometimes I drink at home. Am I doing it wrong?
