‘Embarrassing’ – These Newcastle Fans Are All Saying The Same Thing About Ex Sky Pundit’s Opinion On Ashley

|

Ex-Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray has come to the defence of Mike Ashley in an interview with his current employers beIN Sports.

The most controversial comment is that fans shouldn’t be expecting the owner to be spending a “quarter of a billion” on new signings:

Needless to say, supporters reacted furiously on Twitter to Gray’s comments:

One fan asked why Andy Gray was interviewed when many ex Magpies players are available:

Gray is as ill-informed as you can get regarding the situation at the club. Nobody is asking, least of all Rafa, for Ashley to spend huge sums on transfers. All we want is for the owner to back up the promise of spending every penny generated by the club.

He hasn’t even come good on that one. Our £20m+ profit in this transfer window has essentially tied both hands behind the manager’s back, and considering the lack of investment, it’s hard to see how the club will persuade Benitez to stay beyond the end of the season when his contract expires.
