Newcastle fans have wanted Mike Ashley away from the club for years
Ashley put the club on the market a year ago, but the business tycoon is no closer to relinquishing control with no interested party willing to meet his asking price.Newcastle supporters are now putting pressure on him to do a deal, with a number of them protesting outside Sports Direct in Oxford Street, the flagship store of Ashley’s company.The peaceful protest action was organised by the London Magpie Group and took place at midday on Saturday.Those in attendance held up banners reading sportsredirect.com,a website createdin an attempt to sabotage their owner’s billion-pound retail business.‘United Against Ashley’ banners were also placed across several locations in the North East on Saturday.There was due to be a protest at theSports Direct HQ in Shirebrook too, but that was scrapped after reports of increased security around the business’ base, according to The Shields Gazette.Newcastle supporters yearn to compete for silverware again and, with Champions League winner Rafael Benitez in charge, many supporters believe they have the perfect coach to do just that.And yet the manager has been faced with frustration after frustration since his appointment in 2016, as he finds himselfrestricted by the lack of fundsbeing made available to him. Newcastle were an exception to the rule in a big-spending summer transfer window in thePremier League.Of all the top flight clubs in England, 11 of them broke their transfer record this summer.Meanwhile, the Magpies record transfer fee remains the 16million they paid to sign Michael Owen from Real Madrid in 2005 and that was before Ashley was in charge.
