Newcastle United fans aren't happy with the direction of the club under Mike Ashley -- and they've had no problem voicing their thoughts on that in the past.
During Newcastle's match against Leicester City today, fans inside St James' Park were chanting one important message to the Magpies owner: "Stand up if you hate Ashley."

So, did the 54-year-old billionaire take notice? Of course, but Ashley could be seen laughing in response.
Oh, boy, he doesn't do himself any favours, does he?
There's no love lost in this relationship.
The hardly surprising news is that Newcastle supporters didn't take his response well -- not one little bit -- though other football fans felt the same way.
"Laughing all the way to the bank," one user wrote on Reddit. "The only thing he understands is money, so until NUFC fans stop turning up to games, and the Gallowgate is empty...
"Only then will he pay attention."
Another user said: "It's not really about ticket sales, though. It's having a stadium the size of St James' half empty; it looks horrid on TV and then investors start asking questions about the club management and it could affect the bottom line, which is what the people in charge care about.

"So they'd have to make changes or end up losing money."
A third said: "Mike Ashley takes in £120m plus in TV money from Newcastle. Why would he give the slightest f*** that the fans don't like him?"
Leicester beat the Magpies 2-0, with Jamie Vardy scoring from the spot kick and Harry Maguire adding another in the second-half.
Newcastle are winless in the Premier League and currently sit in the relegation zone.
