But is he HAPPY? Is he hell!
Not until he can grind every penny out of the Geordie people he possibly can.
I had to laugh last night watching the new super-dooper TV screen in the Leazes End.
It shows the game ... until there is an 'incident' ... then as everyone looks to see the replay on the screen ... we get an advert for Sports Direct!
But the latest rip off is the ticket pricing for Man Utd and Arsenal, that sees supporters paying more than £70 for a ticket ... and 4,000 empty seats!
How much more can Ashley MUG the supporters?
There were four thousands of unsold seats for Newcastle v Man Utd last night ... the second biggest fixture of the campaign after the Mackems.
A starting price of £42 have undoubtedly not helped, there is another extra Mike Ashley angle which will almost guarantee these empty seats aren’t filled.
In the past, if you didn’t have a season ticket then the following happened. The match by match tickets would go on sale to members a few weeks before a game, then when they’d had the chance to buy, the tickets then left would go on sale to the general public.
However, in his greed to tie people to the club and get even more money long-term, Mike Ashley has changed this.
For games where he thinks he can sell all tickets to season ticket holders and members, he is refusing to let them go on sale to the general public.
This is the case for Arsenal in a few weeks time and for Manchester United last night.
So if you want to go to the match and you aren’t already a member, it would cost you a minimum of £77 to get in, £42 for a ticket and £35 for a year’s membership, even if it is the only game you want to go to or can get to, in the next 12 months.
Mike Ashley would rather have rows of empty seats than see genuine supporters see the match!
