Thought he played alright, held the ball up and brought others into play a couple of times when the ball was played high to him where previously it have come straight back at us. Hopefully develops a better understanding with teammates during the break.

Upgrade him and let his contract expire. Good defender but poor footballer. If he wasn’t so Injury prone I’d say keep him as a backup whilst we transition to a club that challenges the top end but as he spends long periods unavailable that takes s slot without adding much value. Overall a good pro and servant to the club when called upon.

Yes

Need midfielders as bad as defenders not many linked which is worrying.

@biggsbond14 No problem for me when I voted. Must be a fair few members, posters like Gregg or Heron would know as I believe they are/were involved with the Trust.

NUST Member Vote Result: 1892 Pledge Scheme Voting closed for Members on the vote regarding the future of the 1892 Pledge Scheme on Friday 14th January at 17.00. The Trust can reveal that Members voted resoundingly to agree with the Board and Gaurdian's decision to end the Scheme with 87% of eligible votes cast in favour of ending the Scheme. Members have endorsed the decisions of both the 1892 Pledge Guardians and Trust Board to end the Scheme. As of 21.00 on 16th January 2022 all active subscriptions were cancelled for the Pledge Scheme and the Trust no longer collects money for the Scheme. The Trust Board working together with the Pledge Guardians will begin the process in the coming weeks and months to distribute the money raised to charities based in the North East of England. The process will be thorough to ensure all money goes to those in need and that it is donated with a clear purpose in mind. Members will be consulted along the way and encouraged to help shape the process of charity selection and we will share more details of how this will take place in due course. The Trust Board would like to thank Members for their support and their passion for the 1892 Pledge Scheme. We tried to do something unique for the benefit of Newcastle United and we have raised a huge sum between us that will benefit this part of the world and that means so much to us. Thank you. We can’t wait to get to work and get your money into our community with your help and your approval.

Unless you’re Harry Rednapp.

Relatively happy with this, we need a striker immediately and everyone knows it and thinks they’ve got us over a barrel. He’s got an OK scoring record, weakens a direct relegation rival, is available immediately for selection, let’s others play in there proper position, knows the league, buys us breathing space to negotiate with others during the rest of the window.

Internet drama. The worst kind.

Us: You looking to sell? Them: Yeah Us: How much? Them: 30m Us: Ok, we’ll get back to you.

His all round performances last year were nothing special and went missing in large patches during games just was masked by the goal scoring run.

He lucked out with us, a big stadium, a massive fan base, our title challenges under Keegan still in peoples memory and importantly in the memories of media companies and journalists so despite being shit people spoke about us which generates interest. wont get that at Derby if he thinks he’s going to get them to the PL and flip them.

Sports Directs Shirebrook base is a bit up the M1 so makes sense for Ashley.

The crowd doing that Siuuu shit is cringe.

Good news, hopefully Southampton as well.

Give them realistic release fees in their contracts if we go down. Sign players on loan to perm contracts if we stay up, if we don’t they go back to their parent club who receive a loan fee for their troubles. Players may have concerns but there’s things we can go do to mitigate them.

Should have won, will take a draw considering I though pre game we were going to get bummed.

Dubravka decsion making bit shit today

Fuck nearly

Shelvey and Longstaff out of puff, no real midfield options.

Murphy needs to start helping out Manquilo, two chances from that side.

Burnsie or Trippier?

Are the tests self reported or verified by independent parties? What’s to stop us saying 10 first teamers have it and then take off two weeks?
