We were linked with him a couple of years back, plays well but not a great goal scoring record.

I thought it was all a bit of fun trying to decipher his baking and photos and no one took it seriously, please tell me people didn’t take it seriously?

Don’t you know there are cryptic clues in the bread also in the photography?

Don’t think what he said was that bad? Clearly still likes NUFC despite how things panned out. Mentions liking the club/city and the crowd. Mentions he’s not sure why we would go for Emery who is a good coach but failed at Arsenal and the PL. Mentions big four are preferred destination for the top players which we know is the case. Asked if this will change he says he ‘doesn’t know’ but hopes it will.

I’m going to be positive and say 1-1, parking the bus most of the game and hitting them on the break. Low possession stats for us.

Don’t you mean a pastel de nata?

Jones needs to change the team. Dubravka Manquillo Schar Fernandez Lewis Willock Hayden Saint-Maximin Almiron Joelinton Wilson Rational: Almiron in his best position, Joelinton in his best position plus he can help Lewis on the left, ASM out wide where he’s most effective though not on the left but he’s good enough to play on the right, Lewis to counter Lamptey. Schar to improve retaining possession and building from the back. Willock retaining possession under the press in midfield and getting it to to the attacking quartet and breaking late into the box. Hayden sitting.

If we can’t beat Norwich and Burnley at home and get a draw at home to Brentford and away to Brighton then we’re stuffed.

Would be more embarrasing getting rid after all the legal fights and paying off Bein.

New owners need to act fast now and appoint a DOF and manager so they can: 1) planing and the prep work for the Jan transfer window 2) Improve the performances on field with the existing players, new tactics and enthusiasms plus the new manager bounce I think if we can scrap some points between now and January with a few signings we’ll kick on and be OK. Realistically we have two winnable games in my opinion between now and Jan. Likley to be on a losing run leading up to the window. Brighton away- Draw Brentford Home-Draw Arsenal- Away-loss Norwich-Home-Win Burnley- Home- Win Leicester-Away- Loss Liverpool- Away- Loss Man City- Home- Loss Man U- Away- Loss Everton- Away- Loss

Get him here in January.

Would be hilarious if we spent our money abroad and improved the team without given the other PL teams any of that Saudi cash. Players like lingaard and Tarkowski will be in the last 6 month of their contracts so the last opportunity to sell or loose them for nothing.

Goal by Vilca yesterday v Cheltenham in. 3-2 win.

Mark Lawrensen talking nonsense on Football Focus. Saying the best players won’t want to come up to the North East, you’d think you were asking players to move to Chernobyl.

Did a good job with little money, had an affinity with the fans and wanted the best for the club so I can see why fans like him. That said our paths don’t align as he only recently took the Everton job and doesn’t walk out on contracts so we move on.

I didn’t read anywhere that having the same chairman was blocked, lots of senior managers have directorships across different companies?

But as Aramco aren’t owned by PIF this new rule can’t stop them sponsoring us. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN23O0VK

Which would never hold up in court. The Athletic story states Man City abstained based on strong legal advice that it was illegal what was being hatched.

Isn’t the ban on owners sponsoring clubs through their other companies so for example PIF can’t use Disney to sponsor us. Aramco is separate from PIF as is SABIC. Not sure why Vision 2030 can’t sponsor us as well as it’s a government initiative and not part of PIF.

Just get friendly countries to Saudi Arabia to sponsor us like Bahrain and then divert the money to them for the smaller sponsorships like sleeves and a market value deal with Aramco or Saudia for the main shirt sponsor so the Saudis get their prestige. edit.

Maybe he learnt from the experience after reflecting on what he did wrong and does it differently? Think that an instant improvement would be the players fitness as they seem unable to close down opposition. Plus having millions to spend in the winter transfer window will help, sign a few players like we did in the window where Sissoko and others turned up will be a massive shot in the arm.

Didn’t know that ? maybe it’d be the kick up the arse Fraser needs to improve

Enough with this Lampard, Gerard, Rooney nonsense. Offer it to Eddie Howe, played decent football with Bournemouth before relegation and is available. Knows Wilson, Ritchie and Fraser and might get better performance out of Fraser. Three year fixed term contract, performance related bonuses for year on year improvement. Option to extend if we become a top four side. £200m a year made available for transfers. He’d be mad to turn it down.

Need to fuck him off now we’ve let him have his 1000th game and get in DOF and manager ASAP. Get some points between now and the Jan transfer window to keep from falling too far behind and then kick on.

Getting embarrassing.
