Newcastle United put majority of their staff on furlough leave 'to safeguard club's future'

[mdingwall]

Ashley is one sick bastard considering what he has done to that club.

NUFC put majority of their staff on furlough leave

Newcastle United sent an email this morning to staff - including Academy and scouting personnel - informing them of the decision

Wish he was forced to live on £2500 a month for as long as he has staff doing that.

No cuts for the players?

 

[Gramps1]

What a disgusting bastard

 

[squaddie-bear]

That's a load of bollocks - fat mike has just seen an opportunity to get people off his wage bill for fuck all.

They would easily be able to pay the "normal" staff without this.

 

[Pontoon blue]

Horrible bastard of a man

 

[hunter1rfc]

See to be honest now i don’t feel sorry for newcastle fans they are part of the problem imo they bend over and let that fat lady's front bottom do anything

 

[HamiltonJungleBear]

Share this news. So many folk didn’t know what a horrible person he was. The more folk know the more will refuse to enter his shops and the greater the pressure on him.

 

[PrivateAye72]

Surprised it took him so long to do that.

 

[clash city rocker]

He’s probably raging he doesn‘t have them all on zero hours contracts.

Not fair. They love their club despite the awful ownership. We filled stadiums when the bad guys were raping our club. Ashley included.

 

[Jack Regan]

No surprise from that fat scum

The majority boycott helped with us

 

[daviesmithsbookie]

Feel sorry for the Newcastle fans.There is always speculation that the club will be sold.The greedy bastard always asks for too much money.Hope Bad Karma hits him where it hurts most.

 

[The Duck]

Hope folk have long memories but i doubt it

I know and I was one who joined the boycott of season tickets but I did end up going to games ticket by ticket and that steady trickle of cash helped prolong their hold on our club but I had to support my club. Those poor Geordies are in an impossible position because Ashley just doesn’t care.

 

[Mexi]

Surprised it took him so long to do that.

He probably had to wait a bit after last week's backlash

 

[cambridgeblue]

Why would any business NOT do this for workers if they can't come to work ?

 

[Gramps1]

Because the fat lady's front bottom is a billionaire and he should do the right thing.

 

[Trueblueal]

If the players took a small cut you'd think the staff could get paid. Although Ashley will probably cut the playing wages aswell as the staff

 

[Virgil Hilts]

 

[Jay1873]

I see there’s more talk of a takeover at Newcastle. Funny that always appears when the fat cretin is trying to punt season tickets and the Geordie masses fall for it hook line and sinker every time

 

[Maximus]

The link says that the employees must chase the government for money through the Job retention scheme. This should be done by the employer through PAYE. It's stated clearly that the employer arranges it.

Ashley is a c@nt

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Anyone who knowing supports his businesses is a fucking head case.

Hes utter vermin

"Wish he was forced to live on £2500 a month for as long as he has staff doing that". Far too much.

Billionaire turns down government bail out ? Yeah good one.

Aye , canny see fat boy knocking that back

Horrible evil wee man

All prospective buyers sign a "non disclosure" agreement to view what they are buying once they see what they're getting they all run a mile, if we think Ashley had us by the short n curlies he has a knife to the jugular in regards to the Geordies.....
. He is scum

 

[Wugs]

Lower than a snakes baws !

 

[VegasLoyal]

Scumbag of the highest order. Fat wank!

 

[GEEEDUBYA]

Opportunistic Charlatan.

 

[Yosser]

Typical del boy . If there is one guy you want to see go bust over this then it's him.
I'm sure he will be selling " I survived covid 19 " t-shirts when this is over.

 

[roaring meg]

Newcastle fans need to wake up to this odious individual

 

[Rangers_loyal_1]

Vile piece of shit. He really needs taken out.

 

[stewarty]

Couldn't have put it any better myself.

exactly this!

 

[dado]

Wouldn't have expected anything else from that arsehole

 

[ThePRODigalSon]

Wish he was forced to live on £2500 a month for as long as he has staff doing that.

No cuts for the players?

It’s not even £2500.00
It’s 80% up to £2500.00
That means your new gross pay is £2000.00
Less tax and national insurance and you are looking more like £1500.00

 

[Scott]

So rather than cut the salaries of the players he is taking the easy option of the staff.... Disgusting man and the sooner this country turns on him the better!

 

[Monty Brewster]

He is absolutely shameless. To do this to ordinary workers without first seeing if he could agree a wage reduction with the high earners is the lowest of the low.

It's the people that actually need the money who suffer!

He doesn't give a flying %^*& about anyone but himself!

 

[Pd81]

Fat prick!

As well as not seeming to care about anyone but himself, he also doesn't seem to care less about what anyone thinks of him. Trying to keep his sports shops open and racking up the prices while dozens of people are dying each day of this virus proves it.

 

[Barca Bear]

Surprised it took him so long to do that.

There will be a lot of clubs following, Newcastle not the first either.

 

[Up the road]

Why have the Geordies not driven this nasty piece of work from their club?

 

[mdingwall]

THE SCUM OF THE EARTH – A new low from Ashley! -

I know we should be no longer be appalled at the excesses of Mike Ashley, his obnoxious behaviour and indefensible greed but here we are again, reflecting on the business practices of a man for whom the description scum of the earth is far from strong enough. News that Lee Charnley e-mailed the...
