FC United of Newcastle? Is it the worst idea in the world?

Rafa should quit, setup a new club in newcastle and we'll start from scratch.

Who exactly is surprised by this?

Surprised. Although we haven't exactly added a new leader.

Correct.

That's kinda the point though. There isn't another "Kane" out there ready to just sit on the bench.

He almost does playing in his own role, if he didn't get injured. Fantastic player.

Did we though? Who are the decent squad players we kept when we went down? Mitro, Perez, Dummett, Chancel?

Ameobi.

Some absolute fannies on here. And others who are arrogant in their willful ignorance, acting as if nothing ever happens. Not arrogance just some fans can't see serious problems or choose not to when it's abundantly clear. This squad will have serious problems stopping up. There's a number of players who are either total s*** or have question marks whether they can cut it in the premier. The manager is obviously bordering on being dillusioned with the current transfer policy and the only reason he is stopping is due to a sense of loyalty to the fans. Think it's quite sad when people come out with 'fannies', 'bed wetters' or 'cry babies' when the problems at this club or so obvious that when people say this they are either so blinkered or just plain clueless. Rafa is not a god and he can only take players with questionable top flight quality so far and that's why his annoyance is increasing daily. It's really not rocket science. Completely disagree with this, our first 11 is much much better than most on here want to give it credit for, I dunno why that is. maybe it's too much listening to mackem lies, read a post on there the other day that said, even in there current state , their current team would easily beat ours. Even beyond the first 11 we have some quality too, in the likes of Murphy, Aarons, the team captain, and Merino. The problem with our squad is that we have limited back up for the likes of Shelvey and Gayle, but if those two stay fit the bulk of the season, we'll be absolutely fine and anyone getting their knickers in a twist about this being a relegation battle, is talking nonsense, the bottom of the PL didn't get so much better in the space of one transfer window, it's still pretty poor on the whole and has nothing, even with our current squad for us to be afraid of. Watching the same players last season, I guess.

Massive wages compared to France, Holland, even Spain, which is where we're probably trying to offload to. A big team in the Championship could probably match some of the wages of the shitter players but guess they won't pay the transfer fees.

pull yourself together man, the squad as it is will stay up no bother Without injuries to Gayle and Shelvey, maybe.

Even Sissoko looked good against them.

Said Mike Ashley, never.

Why is covering your head a booking? Never could work it out

Spurs always start slow, so they'll only beat us 1-0

Someone on twitter was claiming we're likely to sell him before the window shuts, claimed to know him. I'll see if I can find it again.

Diame is useless.

Can we not just play with 10 instead? We haven't bought a number 10

Host server keeps timing out.

ITK Maybe they're sitting with him?

I remember the days we signed better players and moved the previous first choice into a backup position. What's that called again? Progression?

One person is

Should have got neymar. Missed opportunity

A football career is pretty short to be fair. Aye, tbf he's only getting 30 years of the average person's annual salary each week. I mean football has been f***ed for a few years now, but this is beyond ridiculous. Why are you so interested in the content of this man's accounts? All over the world, people are making more than this by sitting on money from previous generations and wanton corruption. Neymar is one of the best footballers in the world, why should he not be paid on par with the best bankers, actors, or musicians in the world? Which musician gets 750k a week for 5 years like? The income stream is not as consistent obviously, but the overall value of the contract will be ~200 million correct? This is not some outrageous sum for a top musician with multiple interests to make over the same time frame, and these people will not have their main income stream immediately cease to exist in 10 to 15 years. Taylor swift is worth 200 million dollars, so I give you that one. I'm assuming neymar will have image rights on top of his salary though, plus sponsorship deals?
