So now we have a choice #NUFC. We take out 10 years of frustration, disrespect & disappointment on Fat Sam, Rooney & Pickford. Or we whinge & boo our free transfers for not out playing their £45m signings. Only the 11 on the pitch matter. Support the team not the regime. pic.twitter.com/AatYELTC0p

Love these! I think it shows just how much Mike Ashley has crippled our club and the hopes and dreams of our brilliant fans when you see just how much it means for one man to be leaving for a lady we don’t actually know a great deal about!
Here’s hoping it’s signed, sealed and delivered ASAP, allowing us to look forward to a far brighter future under new ownership.
It certainly can’t get any worse than Ashley!
