Mike Ashley has reduced the asking price for Newcastle United. I honestly think his entire story has been a shambles from all involved although I have sympathy for Ashley. Newcastle deserve to go down at this rate.
The "fans" were a joke, protesting that Kevin Keegan left presumably because he was unable to get the players he wanted and the fans want to do a Chelsea/Man City and go onto the transfer market with a blank cheque and buy themselves success. This is becoming increasingly common and it's a unrealistic wish! They were in debt and securing the future of the club was important. Ashley was right to prioritise security and future development over immediate and extravagant spending, if the fans cannot understand that and wish to force out anyone unwilling to do so then they will go down and it's nothing more than they deserve.
