    Rafa Benítez

    Not surprised at any of that but it’s yet another example of why this deal needs to happen. Tin hat on, but if Chelsea are in for a player, it's difficult for us to compete. But you miss the point entirely. Chelsea weren't even in for him. Rafa and his team had agreed pretty much everything with him, handed it over to Lee Charnley to get it done and he did nothing. Literally did nothing. A number of weeks later he signed for Chelsea to sit on their bench and play a few cup games. It's not about him picking Chelsea over us, it didn't come to that. It was as good as done. It's about the broken promises - the same shit Keegan had to deal with. Promise one thing, do another.
  2. Should probably lock the "New Member" functionality of the forum until a few months after the takeover is completed. Once the hype (positive & negative) cools down a little bit then open it back up. That would make it a large clique.
  3. Although words penned by Kevin Keegan's lawyers, deserves to be in the same category. "The club admitted to the tribunal that it repeatedly and intentionally misled the press, public and the fans of Newcastle United."
  4. Reminder. Don't post owt too daft: https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=19155.0
  5. Wait a minute - he looks familiar. Was he on the junior apprentice about 10 years ago?

    100%. The Council made the right decision from a planning perspective when weighing up the benefits vs the harm. The committee however could have played politics to delay it - but it would have come at significant cost of needed to defend an appeal they would have no chance of winning. The only works that have started on site are ground investigation works - if these guys have big pockets which they clearly do if they wanted to I'm sure they could buy the lease and then develop their own plans.
  7. Spoke to the BBC about this - I am a little conflicted here and don't think I've quite settled my own view yet. Full link https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52302094
  8. Knew f*** all until twitter pointed out the CH changes, then it’s now direct sources. This was submitted 6 days ago, sure his direct sources would have said something then. Err you know that's how it works? He isn't an investigative journalist - something comes out - they check their source and relay what their told (could still be a load of crap as the source may be wrong). What the else do you expect from a SSN presenter?
  9. Seriously, stop it with these kinds of posts. You did the same in the Transfer Rumours thread as well. Post your source when saying things like that. I didn’t have the link at hand and couldn’t remember who said. Calm down ffs there’s worse things going on than me not posting a source Kinda agree with Nobody here. Why post it at that time? Maybe post it when its fresh in your mind or later when you have a source? "There's worse things..." Is a bit of a silly response. Of course there is, there will always be "worse things" but try to understand that this is an emotive subject for many and posting something that many would be interested in with nothing behind it is going to get attention. Much like having a conversation, you don't have to blurt out every thought or memory you have. Not attacking, we are all friends here, just perhaps putting things into context Are you 2 the forum police or something? He can post whatever he likes, with or without a link. If it upsets people, then they might want to take a look at themselves, and take a step back from believing everything they read. Yes, Nobody is one of the forum police. https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=40762.0
  10. Was that the Reading one in his first game? That was lols. I can't remember who against but yeah think his first game. But agree with you - he is a very dependable back up.
  11. Yes he has had a few bad games, and given away at least one totally stupid penalty for example.
  12. I like him, but don't want him starting very often but a very capable back up centre half. He is a threat in the opposition box and chips in with a few goals. For where we are as a club he is as good as you get for a back up centre back.
  13. Can play but don't have time to prepare it again - life has gone a bit crazy at the moment and struggling a bit.

    Players wages

    Wonder if Charney will be furloughed. He isn't first team. None of the 'senior management team' are being furloughed.
  15. The re-count is in..... it's a tie!!! neesy111[/member] and Big Geordie[/member]
