And still not really sure of your point about how many fans. It only takes thousands to make a very loud and annoying noise, you don't need every single person from your fan base to show up on Stan's doorstep to prove a point. Small groups can make loud waves buddy!
So let's say we accept your opinion that the Newcastle fans protests are working ... and let's copy that model
So what can we look forward to? well the Ashley out protests began in 2012 so seven years and he's still there ...
Newcastle have finished 5th/16th/10th/15th/18th(r)/1st(p)/10th/13th ... so just avoided relegation or got relegated, the only good season they've had was in the Championship .... you want that?
Newcastle managers - Shearer / Houghton / Pardew / Carver / McClaren / Benitez ... are you sure?
So you're suggesting we go through several years of protest whilst changing managers like shirts, almost certainly dropping down the table and becoming a perennial struggle in the EPL, with some vague hope that Kroenke might leave ... that's the plan?
What we need to do is forget about an owner we can't do anything about, he allows the club to reinvest what we make that's all we can expect from any owner under FFP, we've had 800m to spend in a decade that's more than 95% of professional clubs in Europe. We need to get behind The Don and support the players we have this season ... if he doesn't deliver that's on him and them, not on Kroenke ... we spend the same on players wages as Liverpool, 80m more than Spuds, there is no excuse ....
Forget lame protesting and get behind the team we have ... deep down you must know you can't change our owner, all you can do is sow discord and misery it's the AFTV mentality ... what's the point of more of that?
