Her job is to help Al-Rumayyan to complete the take over and stabilise the club. She has done her job, so the correct time to move on to other projects. She is not a real owner like Hall / Ashley etc. That’s pretty clear from day one imo. I genuinely believe no one in the club would be affected, and that’s also why now is the time to quit.

Ultimately her job is to be the “cover” of the ultimate owner, Al-Rumayyan. The takeover was a very difficult project. Just think about the complication of PIF / Al-Rumayyan, the hardship of dealing with Ashley, and connection / relationship with other owners in EPL, and to the govern bodies etc…I think it’s fair to say without Staveley, the takeover won’t come true. Likely it would have collapsed in the middle of the process. Even though Al-Runayyan has his own issues, I do think Newcastle United has never been in such a good condition that we have no worries re our financial status nor the ambition of our management. They do want to win. We are edging closer and closer to those trophies. Other parties are trying to stop it from happening but we all have faith. Without Staveley we won’t be in this position. She deserved all our utmost respect for her work done for us, even if it’s just part of her job. She has done her part and now likely she has to move onto other projects, being the broker of Al-Rumayyan again (my wild guess only) We will all miss her. Thank you Staveley.

It is a penalty. Unless the rule book being modified to state that such a dangerous move (you can see the stud is going to hit Kane’s right leg directly) can be exempted within the penalty area, it should always be a foul and a penalty. If this is exempted, however, then most of the strikers would have to gamble his leg while taking a shot. It looks soft but it is definitely a foul

especially when we don’t have Europe income this season.

That’s basically paying more than we could afford in order to gamble for top 4 finish. So even if we achieved our best possible results, we could just balance the book. And, if we failed, another fire sale before next June 30. You sure?

Bowen is exactly the type of transfer that you shouldn’t make under current FFP/PSR

I don’t think the extension is bad, at least that should be approved by Ashworth

nice. All my worries gone. Cheers

I like this appointment, but, talking about Monaco, the Balogun deal was a disaster. I hope that’s not his idea.

Whatever , believe it or don’t

12.8m per Forest fans. No MGW then. Make sense though, both side overpriced around 10m.

I want to raise more funds for a new RW as well, however it seems like both Almiron and Wilson prefers to stay. We can’t force them out…

Anderson is a complicated case. I find him very similar to Milner - lack the physical tools to beat opponents, but occasionally showing glimpse of excellent technique. He does have potential to beat his value, especially if he is playing for Forest where he should be a starter. He may never become a 35m rated player if he stay. This transfer in hindsight probably is a win for all parties involved This won’t be challenged by EPL. He may already shine for Forest before end of August and no one else will say this is overpriced.

If we just want a back up RB then Atal is worth a punt. He can also play RW as well, a low cost short term cover. We have very limited budget and likely we can only buy one starting CB or RW. We better prepare to see Almiron continue to start for us (should be the last season though). In that case we can try to bid Antonio Silva for 50m. Very highly rated last season, dropped off a bit this season, but still worth to gamble imo. If he is back to his best we won’t be able to get him, as he is closely monitored by all the big clubs.

Probably even can’t blame the physios / medics department staff this time.

This genuinely smells like Mike Ashley style.

Unless we qualified from the group stage

My Bayern mate fucking glad that you guys are going to save them. Good luck.

He is shit. Tuchel started Dier over De Ligt throughout the season because he is extremely unreliable

I know I am the minority but I rather have Elanga over MGW. MGW is not a winger. I don’t think he suits Howe’s current 4-3-3.

Wow, we still need a trading profit of 15m?

that probably explained why Ashworth wanted to sell Joelinton. That’s his way to solve the PSR black hole

For now yes, but I predict sooner of later most of the “content” clubs would be crying for help as the big clubs no longer be able to spend big, thus affect their income and ultimately lead to financial troubles. After the Everton Forest cases, I doubt Brighton could still make those ridiculous sales. You may not aware but Brighton was hoping to sell Mitoma and Evan Ferguson on a high - interests are gone already. No clubs willing to pay the required fees now.

I know Ashworths work for the club is a bit vague, but generally speaking he should be responsible for making long term plans and set up directions for the club. Making plans to comply with FFP/PSR has to be Ashworths responsibility, as this involves a lot of inputs from different departments within the club. it seems like this part of duties left behind by Ashworth has not been well taken up by others.

What’s concerning to me is, it sounds like the club didn’t appoint or defer Ashworths duties to someone, and that kinda leads to the PSR crisis we were having.
