The number of sales over the past 5 days has been staggeringly low, I have the exact figures but out atm

Too good for us then

Would be great if Bruce got Carr back and then Carr said fuck that get this guy from France in

thats two words

Clinging onto the hope that all this is a negotiation tactic by Ashley, basically you do the deal on my terms or we move on today. Its the only justification I have for Steve fucking Bruce

Time to delete this forum

TBH id have had Lazaar playing last season in the LWB role

Cant see that figure being correct, thats 1/3 of ticket holders cancelling

Is that before you leave for school at 8am or should they delay the announcement for after when you're having TV time and your tea?

Just logged on and my ticket is still available for renewal so perhaps they have extended the deadline on the quiet

40k would be incredible, however the cynic in me thinks that the club would just give every unsold ticket away to local schools, students, nhs etc to minimise the impact

Yes, it hasnt been extended yet

Not even sure the club can hide behind the instalments thing as they will have agreed the terms of the sale(regardless of the buyout figure). Its not like Leicester could come along and say we will meet the buyout valuation but will only pay you £1m a year. Either they have paid the full amount upfront OR we have negotiated a deal to match their needs. So we either have £30m now or we decided to facilitate the sale of a player they are claiming they didnt want to sell..

Always an element of "It's not our fault" in anything they put out. Fuck off, it is. Exactly, the player didn’t have to agree to leave but given our current situation he would probably play for free. Shambles

To which I responded with

If you cancel your ticket send NUST proof of your loyalty points and they with attempt to get them reinstated if/when we have new owners https://nufctrust.co.uk/loyalty-points/

Was speaking to someone who said that NUST are backing a plan that anyone who doesnt renew would potentially get loyalty points if club ownership changed. As someone who as ditched 275 point since Rafa left I think this would get a huge amount of people onboard with NUST and the idea of not renewing

Well thats that then :'(

Why would any of the fan groups give a fuck now? They have tried for years to get people behind them and its been thrown back in their face with venom

Thats me and 251 loyalty points gone, well done Mike you win

Still cant work out if it was an error or a troll

That sums up our club at the moment, the intention might be there but the execution is horrific. Put some people in there who know anything about football or the club and the results could be great for everyone

The back looks awful with the red numbers

Its definitely takeover or bust for me. Benitez staying with Ashley changes nothing for the direction of the club other than reapplying the plaster on the axe wound. Rafa staying with either owner or bust for me. The club will drop down the leagues like Sunderland otherwise. The takeover is the absolute most important thing by an absolute mile. We have had 12 years of the club being totally devoid of basic investment and improvement. No person manager or player is more important than the future of the club. How can you know that when you have absolutely no idea what the new owners will be like The man that can offer Newcastle the most guaranteed security for the future of this football club is Rafa Benitez. Enjoy Tim Sherwood and dropping down to League 1 then. You think the new owners are going to hire Tim Sherwood? A lot of our fans are in for a reality check. The same ones that wanted Sir Bobby out for 3rd, 4th, 5th probably Have we really not realised managers like Sir Bobby and Rafa Benitez only come round once in a blue moon have we really not realised that yet? So you'd rather Ashley stayed if it meant Rafa did too? Most important person for the future security of Newcastle United is Rafa Benitez. Not some Sheikh that we have no idea will be like. Hoping for both obviously but the most important thing is Rafa stays so we don’t end up dropping the divisions like Sunderland. People are taking our Premier League security now for granted it was lucky Rafa came and dragged us back up into a solid position where a Sheikh wants to buy us. Yet people couldn’t give a “Flying” about Rafa Its the bigger picture, people are sick of feeling "lucky Rafa came and dragged us back up into a solid position". Until Ashley is gone this is all Newcastle United will ever be
