I'm sorry, what?

Are you joking? How is not embarresing to see we have no manager, the owners dont talk so and so, we have Hughton in charge for hte 19th time.... Thats f*ng embarresing if you ask me. The club is being run by a bunch of idiots and I'm sick of it.

Im tired as f**k seeing these dozens of embarressing articles day in and day out. This needs immediate stopping FFS.

I was so elated when we signed Mickey Owen. The chase, the sky footage of him walking with Shearer and Souness, the final confirmation of his signature. That goal he scored when he and Shearer were celebrating together at Blackburn, the goal he scored from that Zoggy cross against Wigan - I thought to myself, wow, we have Michael Owen..The injury at Spurs, the weak comeback, that WC injury, and then he was nearly lost to me - until KK came and gave him a new lease on life, and those goals...Sunderland, Spurs away.... And now? F**k off Owen, wish you'd never come really, I thought so highly of you and - in looking for a player at the Toon who would lift me like Big Al did before you, you uterly pissed on our shirt with how poorly you disgraced it.

I'd take Shep back any day. Its really the only hope we have right now isn't it? Those content waiting, how long would you wait? Ashley IS NOT going to do a single thing with this club until it is sold, what if we sold 1 week before the start of season, our team has been picked apart and sold up for peanuts, we lost men like Beye and Taylor, and feilding the likes of Ameobi in our starting 11. We'll set ourselves up for further pain, heartache and laughter. Perhaps dropping another divison. FS has amition, albeit in the past some blinded and risky ambition/shady dealings, but for god's sake I can't even sit and read about more speculation week over week, this is draining the life out of me.

Painful.

Yeah, Yeah laugh it up world.

Our club shop site looks weak as p!ss, looks like a shady website sanctioned by the fatone himself.

I get really excited about ESPN broadcasting in the US until my brain gets kicked back into shape, ala the post below. Ack.

The most hideous football kit ever has to be that Hull City tiger print kit. Check the source, written by a Sunderland paper, Ooo, hardly gets my blood bubbling.

Never really liked Edgar, he filled me with 0 confidence. He peaked with the 2 goals he scored.

You mean the contract that everyone says people should sign but hardly any (if any) have one of those?

Be honest, I only think of Keegan managing us, and when hes at another club, it doesn't make me too happy. Still didn't get closure on the way it all burned down with him.

Everyone has been tlaking about Big Al doing the business in the lower leagues, well if he gets the job, he'll do it in the lower leagues with us....

...Sounds exciting.

But no news on the away kit??

Can't zoom it any more?

But if people have proved this already and then surely they didn't have to wait till everyone had before they allowed access, surely they can given individual access. Basically it sounds like we're a joke again. Not necessarily, they will likely have set deadlines - OK on X date, all buyers have to prove their cash status. OK great, next step is on X date we will open our data room for a period of XX time. First interested group will get first shot to buy (if you believe the reports). Its literally a rat race this sale it seems.

Data room is a term people use in business to refer to the "data room" that due diligence files are kept. I'm sure in older times a specific secure meeting room/space was kept for potential buyers to send their analysts and accountants in.

I can't believe I wrote suppository, I meant to say repository/online digital library - still waking up. Yes and No. If done correctly and organized properly - the buyers can look over "the books" as well as any other pertinent information that the seller will put up. Its up to the seller to ensure that all pertinent information related to the sale/facilitate the sale are there. Hah! Not much else to explain, those in charge of the sale will go on there and look at what is up there, and make their decisions accordingly. Due-Diligence is useless if a firm doesn't put up a proper system that a the buyer can use. We used a system called Intralinks, gave potential buyers a username and password and let them go at it. We had several requests for more information that we did provide and did not provide.

Well he has been through it before (surely that's a sign). Funny, when I met Graeme Souness who recently was sacked at the time, and I told him how I was a Newcastle supporter - He APOLOGIZED to me that it went the way it did and how things didn't work out at the club.

I suppose an online supository of poorly scanned files with Llambas and Ashley's writing all over it including games of hangman on contracts and Ashley doodling "Sports Direct 4 LYFE" as well. These online data rooms are quite possibly the most annoying things ever, I was in charge of managing and organizing one when the company I worked for sold our division to one of the big investment banks. Ever since being on that end of due-diligence, i officially hate that term.

So what did he say? - Club is massive, but was run poorly (wow really??) - Ashley is not a good owner and the club have no money - Would like to stay if Shearer is manager (of course he would with the wages he makes for doing nothing) - Shearer & Ashley have a poor relationship b/c Shearer was messed about - Owen is already gone (wow really again??) - In Orlando for 3 weeks - Fat Sam signed him and its been a mess with the revolving manager's door - Need stability May have mentioned more, but nothing earth shaterring or something we didn't know. He didn't really seem too bothered about relegation, although he was a decently nice person i guess?

What bar? I saw him downtown at BBQ Bar last week. BBQ Bar actually. Hah! You speak to him? He had a lot to say actually... Naw, he brushed me off pretty much after I told him I was a huge Newcastle fan. I walked up to him and pointed at him and said "Alan Smith" and he nodded and then I forced a chat out of him for a good 10 mins or so. Ronaldo, let me know as well, I live downtown and up for a pub crawl for sure.

He's here for 3 weeks from what he said....So he's here until July 1 when preseason starts?
