I think if we want to single Newcastle out we should also look at Blackpool and Hearts who are already sponsored by them. Most of the companies that advertise on football strips are not the healthiest or the most ethical. Perhaps the whole system should be overhauled.

I'd second this. I'm a Liverpool fan and we're sponsored by Standard Chartered - now they have a squeaky clean track record also dont they? What about Chelsea. We all now Abramovich's gizzilions dont come from being a warm fluffy character dont we?
Why no stink about Blackpool and Hearts? Mike Ashley has pumped a fortune into Newcastle, he's sought alternative investment and found it. Fair play to him.
The fact these companies can prosper says a lot about the high street banks!

They say the following:
So, I'm not sure what a legal loan shark is. :huh:
Anyway, if someone has devised a method to do this legally, shouldn't those MPs who are so worked up about this, get the law changed to stop it rather than moan about who's sponsoring a football team?
Btw, someone should also mention to 'Ian Lavery, MP for Wansbeck, is a season ticket holder at the club' that the ground is no longer called St James' Park; it was renamed the Sports Direct Arena almost a year ago

Or is he moaning about that too? (Although its changing back now under this new sponsorship deal)
Newcastle were always a bunch of sliders
Ashley is ruthless, so are Wonga, so a match made in hell.
Haters gonna hate
What happened to people being responsible for there own actions?
