A lot of Newcastle United fans have rushed to comment on a post by Mark Douglas about Mike Ashley.
The Evening Chronicle reporter has produced a piece on the Newcastle owner and thinks this should be the beginning of the end for him.
This has drawn a great reaction from these Toon fans who have offered their view.
Mike Ashley has done the wrong thing again – and this should be the beginning of the end for him at #nufc.

Well said Mark. He’s taken the scales off the eyes of many too quick to dismiss our concerns about how he goes about things as ‘demanding/deluded Geordies’

Hope you’re right. He’s done himself irreparable damage again, but this time in front of the whole country during a worldwide health pandemic. He won’t ever recover from this.

Class Mark finally let the country see never mind our football club he really is a horrible greedy man

What a selfish parasite he is. He puts money before anything. And that includes welfare and wellbeing of not just his staff but the public. I hope because of this lockdown, that his businesses start to fold and he HAS to sell NUFC to keep him afloat. Keeping everything crossed ?

This is where the #nufc fanbase need to turn the screw. The entire country now see him for the parasite that he is. we’ve known for years. Now lets maximise this. I dont think there will be a better time. Spread the word of this leech and his cronies

Don’t build my hopes up

What do we think?
Ashley’s latest act, in our opinion, was disgusting as he attempted to keep Sports Direct open during a pandemic when Boris Johnson had ordered all ‘non-essential’ shops to close.
Can this action from Ashley force him out of Newcastle?
Yes
No
Sports Direct insisted that they were providing an essential service but were then ordered to shut. However, as George Caulkin points out, he was willing to put lives at risk for money.
Douglas, therefore, thinks that national opinion might finally turn on Ashley and force him out of the Toon.
For the sake of the fans and the people of Newcastle, we also hope that this is the beginning of the end for Ashley.
