Historical Figures
Owner
Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley purchased Newcastle in 2007 and presided over a polarising fourteen-year tenure. Two relegations, chronic underinvestment in the squad, controversial naming-rights deals, and a fractured relationship with supporters defined an era of deep frustration. Despite maintaining the club's Premier League status for most of his tenure, Ashley was the target of sustained fan protests calling for his departure.
