The brief story of a despised fat soccer club owner TL/DR Mike is a fat business man that the fans despise. Disclaimer * I'm not a Geordie (someone from our esteemed town of Newcastle, in the UK)  I'm only slightly versed in the business and history of the football/soccer team. I am, however, deeply concerned by the level of hatred displayed by some of my compatriots. /s So without further ado, this is Mike Definitely not magic. As you can see  Here This is behaviour that one finds unpalatable because Mike is, well, fat.  And for many, many other reasons, they want him gone. The fans definitely want him out. And I've been monitoring it for a while now, but he isn't going anywhere. They Protest They run a campaign. And they sing this too which warms my heart: http://youtu.be/4Zy-mwjLIrg But Mike is stubborn, Mike is making too much money. Mike wanted to sell the club, but asked too much for it. It didn't sell.  So I would bore you with more, but the comparison of fatties involved in high profile sports made my think of this guy again.  I shouldn't care less about a rival club going down the drain, but I despise both him and his actions. I don't shop in any of his stores.  But, alas, the Geordies, have to put up with Him Poor Geordies.
