13 Steps To Salvation For Mike Ashley At Newcastle

12. Keep Hold Of The Club's Best Players

If this man leaves this summer then you know it is business as usual at St James' Park and everything that came out of Mike Ashley's mouth last Sunday was a lie. Let's see Newcastle build a team that is capable of challenging for a cup or a European place each and every season. This means that Newcastle need to be holding on to their best players and not openly looking to sell them as they have been doing for three or four years now. Fair enough if a Real Madrid comes in and offers Mike Ashley silly amounts of money for one of his stars, but to be putting needless get-out clauses in contracts and agreeing sales a window before they actually happen isn't good business at all. Newcastle United have everything but a Head Coach and playing staff in place to be the legitimate big club that they know they can be. All they need now is a shift in the mentality that will allow them to kick on to the next couple of levels.
