Does he? Ipswich a division lower have said they'd take him but I'm totally unaware of anyone else showing their hand. Man City. Maybe we can swap him for Distin plus cash. First I've heard and frankly wouldn't believe it. Where did you hear/read that? SSN's (might of just been the WWW though) We got £2m for O'Brien, get Titus signed up, and we'd get more than the £500k in the window people are talking about.

I know not club quotes but the term brand is used around the globe http://www.cnn.com/2006/SPORT/football/11/27/world.brands.reut/index.html?section=cnn_latest Evening times, and other sources all call clubs as Brands, stock markets and business people again refer to them as brands, tbh, this just shows the people that are looking at us as highly trained business men, (rightly or wrongly) i find that comforting.

Just dying for change, at least it wont be misguided and a plan will be there somewhere. I could quite happily wait patiently under a new regime, i've ran out of that stuff with this one. Just noticed how many news sources are running the same story today, hopefully the ball is picking up pace.

I have no problem with it at all. Im sure someone at Chelsea keeps saying the same thing about them, and IIRC someone at Barca or Madrid coming out with it as well not so long ago. Football is a business, about time we become professional.

Tottenham - Capital crap Sunderland - Reason Unknown Everon - Shit bitter fans.

Don't know if its been said already but Pearson looks like a man not to be messed with. Maybe Mr soft needs a enforcer next to him to get the message across. Shearer instantly would command respect due to his ties, and not being too soft himself, Bond looked like a 5year old would give him a kicking, and GR would run away and hide until it was all over. Don't know of Pearson's career as a player, so he could have been a softy too, but that big old head of his looks hard to knock off.

Enough punishment, will be driving him mad knowing he's flopping, which he is. Pool fans are already unsure, and the Rafa rotation will mean he will find it difficult to get into his stride. I'm sure he'll pick up somewhere in the season, right before a big injury which will keep him out for a few month. Its the Bellamy cycle, i doubt its going to change now.

Liverpool? A takeover has been happening for about 3 years now including USA businessmen, internal takeovers & even Prime Ministers of an Asian Country have been strongly linked with a buyout. Aye, forgot about that one. However, if you look at how many have gone through......... Chelsea Man Utd Pompey West Ham Villa Sunderland True, most if not all but this one go through. Leeds, Leicester (currently & probably will) & other smaller takeovers have all gone through. Goods signs, especially when there's not just one party interested.

Shepherd has nothing like the sort of money to buy NUFC outright. Not gonna happen. FS is just looking for the final big payoff. He once said he'd never leave until we won something, but with Chelsea around, that's become near enough impossible (well it limits the options, and the others fight to the death for the lesser cups) Like you say, he doesn't have the money, and he's getting on. I wonder if his wifes ill health (whatever it was) might push him to get out and retire. Why live round this dreary place when you could go live in some of the best places in the world, and see out your days there? Its time for him to move on, he's a stubborn cunt, but he'll crack, especially if the right money is flashed, because as much as he is stubborn, he's equally as greedy.

With you proudly showing around your signature about being geordie and bla bla bla, it doesn't mean that you can post whatever you want here related your beloved Spurs club (traitor then I can say?), which is not relevant at all to NUFC :roll: Talk about the players Spurs want, who NUFC also want, it's fine... Talk about the Spurs players who previously was in NUFC, or the other way around, it's fine... But this one... blueconfused.gif This was simply asking if any French based fans here if they had any info about him as I knew nothing about him, no more, no less. It wasn't a case of saying 'look who we've signed' because at the time I didn't know whether it was good news or not. As for my Geordie background, I'm London born and bred and proud of it. My mum was a Geordie through and through and equally proud of her roots, though I suspect that if she was alive today she would be less than impressed with some (and that's not including you) who regularly contribute here. Wow, ya ma wouldn't be impressed. Fuking hell, you stoop to new LOW levels of utter shit don't you! Do one will yer, have you not got the hint yet you sneaky fuking WUM? My Nana, who is alive, was born on Tottenham Court road for what its worth, and if she knew how to use a computer and saw the drivel you post on a now regular basis, she'd go down there and break every finger you currently have attached to your body, so I, and the rest of the Geordie nation would never have to put up with your shit again. End of, now fuk off. A typical example of the famed Geordie friendliness. My mother was a Londoner and my father a Geordie, but I was born and bred in Newcastle, then I went to live and work in London when I was 35. I have experienced both sides of the fence and can honestly say that the majority of Geordies seem to think they have the monopoly on hospitality. That could not be further from the truth. When I moved to London my new neighbours could not have been friendlier or more hospitable, I can say the same about when I moved to Southampton, and again the same of my neighbours where I now live just outside York. If you find non Geordie's to be rude and obnoxious, perhaps it is just a measured response to your attitude to non-Geordie's. Not really, just this one is a snide WUM. Plenty of other fans on here who i have no problem with. This one comes on to gloat at our mis-fortune, rubs salt in the wounds while trying to pretend to be everyones friend. Talks utter shite, starts crappy ITK threads which are laughable, and generally pisses me off to the back teeth. Nothing to do with anything else but that, don't try and read anything else into it, its not there.

"If you want to make money out of football clubs you need a successful team on the pitch." So money will be spent to get us competitive "But Newcastle has a fantastic infrastructure, a fantastic fanbase, they are a big club, have a developed ground with good facilities and are one of the premier football brands in Europe." Seeing us after initial investment as self sufficient, which means sensible buying and management "In an ideal world things would happen sooner rather than later but negotiations take time." Will have to happen before the transfer window opens.

If we had Bridge & Young in defense alongside Bramble & Taylor, 65% of Bramble's problems would never happen. Its 50-50 with this guy for me, i think we should sign him up for another 2 seasons, simply because with two decent fullbacks he'd improve loads, and he still attracts interest off other clubs, so he'd still be possible to sell, only for more money.

There probably will be a setting to change that. Its pretty standard everywhere this is set to on when you join a forum.

Cracking little site for those USA fans we (do we have many?) have either American born, or exiled. Some of the funniest headlines from them over there in recent weeks (Shola knifed in Colorado being my fav) and headlining in newsnow (i know it doesn't take much) these days. Nicely put together, informative and i hope our American buddies appreciate the work. Has a link to here as well. I hope we have sites like this across the world in different languages.

- 6pts for the whole season so 10th. He only scored three times where it mattered, Sunderland, Villa & Boro, if he didn't score we'd have drawn those three games.

"He understands that given his profession he will get a degree of hassle." Nothing to do with the fact he's an arrogant cock. :roll:

We can only hope.

Man City (i think) Only found out he supported another team not so long ago, thought he was one of us. I think thats because he spends most time in general chat.

Taylor is getting back in the swing of things after recovering from injury, and doing some rather daft shit, Zoggy will come good now Duff is fuked. Don't forget Krul as well, has unlimited potential imo, lots of people were raving red about him before that heroic night, so i think we've got a goalie sorted for the next 10 years as well.

Agreed, actually though, Dr Spec is as sound as you could get as well.

Reading haven't really spend any money at all (from the 2nd division) getting here, the chairman must be laughing. (although he did buy them a nice new shiny stadium)

My thoughts also.
