work permit issues should be resolved now that he has been playing in the Copa America

Bit hard though since we live in Ireland! Still though ya never know! buy online or phone box office as soon as they go on general sale.

If he is not the chairman any longer, then the Stock Exchange have to be informed.(we are still listed until 18th july) It is not in question that he would step down once Chris Mort had a grasp on things, so him remaning as chairman was for the short term. IIRC 2-3 months was the figure banded around. I need to learn to type faster

just about on the halfway line, i tend to sit around there for friendlies and cup matches. I can only manage the stairs to SJH level 7 so many times a season.

He's not chairman, he doesn't have a title anymore. who's chairman then, because chris mort is only the deputy chairman. official site states Freddy stays in his current role. http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1061435,00.html and I do agree that he has no future with us and is only there until chris mort has a full grasp on how to run a football club

remember, we offered him a new contract but he went to cardiff(on the advice of Alan Shearer) to get first team football. which probably means we still thought he had a chance of making it. I would imagine we saw him as a 4th/5th choice striker.

he still is chairman - only in name though, i think he is more an advisor on footballing matters.

don't think the players are back in training until tomorrow, also IIRC Duscher's agent is a certain Mr Willie Mckay.

Also; Florent Malouda to Chelsea Poison Dwarf to West Ham for £7.5m have just been confirmed.

I wondered how long it would take for price banding to come in, also noted that season ticket prices go up again from 2 Aug 07.

Basic salary, no doubt he'll be on goal bonuses, assist bonuses, appearence fees etc as well. don't suppose he has received many bonuses in the last 2 years.

I would imagine the delay was due to his international clearance, same thing happened with Tuncay at Boro

Remember Geremi (if we sign him) will be off to the African Nations in January, which would be when Edmilson is coming back to full fitness.

Bet Joey Barton would be a bit pissed off if Sam took his squad number off him.

hopes to God, that the journal finally get a transfer right!!!!

or it might just mean we finally have a manager who knows what he is doing.

Arsenal site confirms that fixture will be changed due to Champions League 3 qualifying round first leg being the same night. http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?thisNav=News&article=471819&lid=NewsHeadline&Title=2007/2008+-+Draft+Barclays+Premier+League+Fixtures

According to SSN, Spurs have made an undisclosed bid for Darren Bent.

If Distin has turned us down again, then it will be for the same reasons as last time....... MONEY. I get the feeling that ridiculous wages for players at this club are in the past.

Or give him a 2-year extension or whatever, get Sam working with him: we see no improvement, flog in January or next summer. by the time you take in to account his signing on fee and wages for at least 6 months(at least 1-2 mil), against possible sale value of £1 mil max. it made the deal not very favourable when you look at the chances of success, when you consider the number of coaches and managers who have worked with him over the last 5 years.

iirc, during the World Cup when the pundits were talking about the England managers job, Shearer said to MON 'you didn't get the other job you were interviewed for either.' indicating that he was interviewed for the Toon job, but the board decided against offering him the job.

The man's a genius, he has gained cult hero status after only 24hrs. I think this move shows that the club wants to progress and that it's not just a place for job's for the boys. Also, why do people hate Lee CLark so much, until yesterday he was probably the most qualified coach at the club. just because he was an ex-player who was given a coaching role does not mean he wasn't qualified or a bad coach, I bet most people would be happy to see Gary Speed here as a coach.

Unbelievable. Give the bloke a chance. He should of made it clear in the press conference keeping Michael Owen and building a team around him was something important to him comments of "its not all about Michael Owen" and "i will be asking him if he wants to stay or go" are not good enough for god sake Sam don't lose a World Class player before you have even had the chance to work with one. One thing we should know by now is that Sam is the biggest person at the club now. No player is bigger than he is, I would imagine that all the players will be asked the same question. Question: Do you want to play for newcastle or not??? Answer: Yes Answer: No. - 'Ok then, don't let the door hit your backside on the way out!!!!'

there is also the possibility he has been tapped up by Arsenal, and he is trying to make sure we let him leave.

where's your doggie gone, where's your doggie gone.
