  2. Maybe Rafa was sounded out and said no? It’s all guesswork anyway.
  3. I reckon people are just ready for a beer. It’s Thursday, crack one open anyway. Sorry to those beer haters out there.
  4. As you keep saying. To what gain? "ooh look, I was right all along, fuck you idiots"
  5. I’ve got more right than wrong... I famously on here broke the news before anyone else when we sold Andy Cole. I predicted the 66 World Cup winners on here
  6. Since when has a sky story been true anyway.
  7. Didn't Kinnear try to sign Hyppia? I thought KK but you might be right. KK definitely lined up Hyypia http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7864071.stm

  9. We're still a mid to low table club guys. Klopp isn't gonna fancy us quite yet, regardless of the future investment. If Rafa had never managed us everyone would be more than happy with Poch.
  10. Dennis Wise a massive low-point for me.
  11. England ladies need a manager no?
  12. "at the PL" eh? Sounds important. "mate of a mate" eh? Sounds legit. "verbally agreed" eh? Cans in the bath.
  13. I made a brand new banner in photoshop for toontastic.net when Souness left.
  14. I fully expected it to be done yesterday tbh. Still think it might be announced today.
  15. What on earth might you be suggesting? A small amount of corruption at hand?
  16. The question asked was how much do you think the potential new owners will spend not what they could spend. Anyone expecting Man City/Chelsea levels of spending will be in for a disappointment. They’ll not be spending £100m per window Why not? We know nothing about their intentions or policies, other than presuming they want success and positive media coverage both in and off the pitch. It could be 100m, it could be 10m. Because everything that they’ve said so far through the media (steady sensible investment) along with the more researched neutral commentators and journalists (Not a PSG/Man City type scenario) have suggested so for a start. The question was asked. I give my balanced opinion. £100m a window (£200m a season). No chance. I don’t think that they’ve said ANYthing through the media yet, either directly or otherwise. People taking about steady sensible investment are only going off their opinion about FFP and the apparent inability to copy the Man City / Chelsea route. They have. Go check. Nothing official but that’s not how it works until signed. Same question to you. How much do you think they’ll spend per season? As I already said, I don’t know how much they’ll be spending. No one does. But as the posts since your comment have stated, 50m doesn’t go a long way these days (Joelinton for 40m...), It’s already being suggested that FFP will be relaxed, the Saudis aren’t a slow and steady type - especially if they want comparisons (and victory over) with the Man City / PSG owners. What have you learnt from the press about their intentions? I genuinely can’t find anything other than guesswork? £50m is going to go much much further in the current climate. I suspect (in my opinion) we'll see quite a large investment over the first couple of years, whilst also concentrating on spending money on the club (academy, training ground etc) then long term focus on bringing young players through. A lot depends on who the DOF and manager are I guess.
  17. Ahh, so he does have weaknesses too then.
