Plenty of Newcastle United fans have discussed a report from ChronicleLive about what life could be like at the Tyneside club without Mike Ashley.
The article reflects on when the owner sold his 9% stake in Rangers back in 2017 following a bitter fallout with the Gers supporters, as per the Daily Mail.
According to ChronicleLive, the perception amongst Rangers fans was that they were now free of Ashley and that the club could continue their journey of financial recovery and try to dethrone Celtic as Scotland’s top team.
However, the businessman still casts a shadow at Ibrox because of legal disputes about kit deals involving Sports Direct, which is set for the Court of Appeal.
Following Ashley’s feuds with the Gers faithful, it could pose a question as to whether his bitter relationship with some Magpies would actually come to an end, even if he leaves.
Some members of the Toon faithful have speculated whether Ashley will get involved with other clubs, as Brighton and Hove Albion, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Southampton and even enemies Sunderland have all been mentioned.
Check out the discussions from these NUFC supporters on Twitter:
Let take over Sunderland, the amount of tweets ive seen from them saying what a great owner he is. For sure he will need a SD billboard someplace, cheesy chip land would be a perfect match up.

If Ashley buys another club, it won’t be within 100 miles of his London home. He wouldn’t want angry fans on his doorstep.
That’s why he got involved with Newcastle, and Glasgow Rangers, IMO.#NUFC

Seen Burnley mentioned – was talk of them going bust in light of covid-19. He’ll likely swoop in and get them for a steal
