Has football ever been so morally bankrupt as it currently is?

A new owner buying a club and wanting to change part of the clubs name because he hates the word 'city' in a clubs name. :jesuswept:

 

 

 

Most would describe the FA as spineless but they have taken the correct stance on this issue. Two fingers held high in the air directed towards owner Assem Allam.

The Newcastle United Supporters’ Trust is holding a public meeting to discuss Mike

Neville HallAshley’s planned sale of the lease on land adjacent to the Gallowgate End at St James’ Park. We are concerned that future development of this land, potentially unsympathetic to the future expansion of St James’ Park may act to inhibit the future growth under future ownership arrangements. The Trust board has been pursuing a number of courses of action and would welcome the opportunity to share this information and take questions regarding the sale of the lease of the land from Trust members and other supporters who may wish to attend.
So far the Trust has made a Freedom of Information Act application to discover the identity of potential developers in order to open dialogue and explain our position.
Unfortunately, Mike Ashley’s employees at Newcastle United have so far declined to answer any of the media’s questions on the subject so we are unable to outline any safe-guards the club has put in place to safe-guard the club’s future growth potential and indeed the destination and use of any monies raised from the sale of a club asset. Officials at United working for Mike Ashley have also failed to notify the land-owners, NEXUS of their intentions also.
As an associated matter, the Trust is in the process of applying to have St James’ Park registered as an Asset of Community Value and Kevin Rye of Supporters Direct will attend as a guest speaker.
The Trust also makes an invitation to those supporters with expertise in Planning to join a working group to support the Trust to develop its position regarding future development.
The meeting will take place on Thursday 1st May in The Lecture Room of the Mining Institute, Neville Hall, Westgate Road, Newcastle , NE1 1SE (near the Central Station) and will commence at 7.30pm and finish no later than 9.00pm
It would be great to see you there.

 

Might go along to this if I can, (shifts/ bairns football permitting).
