It’s just like being self employed – no sick pay, no pension, no guaranteed income, its no wonder Mike Ashley always looks so jolly. He makes his millions by exploiting all those who are desperate to work. It make sense that he agreed a sponsorship deal with Wonga, as it’s not like he has any principles himself when it comes to exploitation.

I do feel sorry for all those passionate Geordie fans because there owner is ruining the rich heritage of their club.
