Paully

He sounds exactly like him!

Brilliantly summed up pal!

Disagree completely. Why should the other employees take the burden when the equity holder is a billionaire and makes all the decisions regarding the club? Why is football the only industry where we have this attitude? Footballers are employees and are pair so highly because they generate massive revenue. We don’t hear hedge fund managers being asked to pay for the clearers wages do we? The usually political points scoring from Khan and the Tories. I'd imagine all of the players will see some of these staff whenever they're at training / on a match day so will know them. I agree Ashley is obviously the wanker once again here but if I was a player then I'd be rallying to every other player to cover the lost wages for the non-paying staff personally. It's the decent thing to do especially when some are taking home over a quarter of a million pound per month.

Aye, he was absolutely DESPERATE to beat the highest third tier crowd!

What a tit!

I preferred his lass Delightful red dress

100%. I've met him a several times and he's a cracking fella and loves NUFC and would never have penned that article for clicks or without being given big assurances about it presumably from Staveley!

Yep - I thought that. If O'Nien was getting paid by the minute then he'll be a millionaire! The suer slow-mo at the end for Charlton's winner when it keeps flicking back to the crowd is majestic

Norwich and Bournemouth are covering the 20% loss in their non-playing staff's wages whereas us and Spurs aren't - Ashley and Levy - wankers! I genuinely think it's disgusting that not one of ours or Spurs' players have came out to offer help to the non-playing staff who are losing wages. Surely they realise it would be a brilliant thing to do in this shit time? We keep hearing how our lot have a Whatsapp chat for all of the players and the banter is brilliant............it probably hasn't even been mentioned by any of them. Shelvey is on 80k a week here and Spurs have six players earning over six figures per week with Kane the highest on 200K.

Another enjoyable series especially the last two episodes! Maja and his agent completely mugged them off He didn't know what to say when getting asked if he was going to stay when in the gym! I can't believe how desperate Methhead was to beat the third tier record attendance! The way he spoke to that Irish lass on the touchline at half of that match was shocking! I'm surprised they didn't make more of the 4-0 against our bairns in the Chicken Trade! What was that lass thinking walking around near Central in her Sunderland top on a sunny Saturday afternoon? If this season gets voided or if they don't go up then they're absolutely screwed financially! !

Yes - really enjoyed it!

NUFC Trust STATEMENT Dear members, During what is undoubtedly an incredibly difficult time we, the Newcastle United Supporters Trust, would firstly like to wish everyone the best of health and hope that members (who are able to) are doing all they can to keep themselves safe at home. We would also like to pay our respects to those essential workers who continue to protect lives and our economy on a daily basis. Issues surrounding football right now are of little importance, in recent days there has been one topic in particular that has kept us busy and, despite added hurdles with regards to communication with the club, we continue to pursue our concerns with regards to Season Ticket payments. Season Ticket holders who are on the 9 and 10-year deals are now into the period of paying for the 2020/21 season, with so much uncertainty about when it will actually start. Supporters on these deals have two options, to pay annually or monthly. There is no difference in cost. Those who pay annually saw their lump sum payment taken on the 25th March, whereas those on monthly payment plans will see their payment taken on the 1st or the 15th of the month, depending on which date you selected. Newcastle United are, as far as we understand, the only Premier League club that has taken payment for the 2020/21 season. Most clubs in the Premier League have now postponed their renewal periods until a more certain time, others have frozen payments due to be taken for next season, both of which we see as the correct approach. We called on the club to suspend payments on the 18th March and did not receive a response. As a matter of urgency, we contacted them again on the 23rd of March. We heard from the club on the 25th March that they would not be suspending or delaying payments, this being after the annual payment was taken from supporters. We contacted the club again to request they reconsider their position and have outlined what we believe the club should be doing: • Freeze all annual & monthly payments for the 2020/21 season until we have a confirmed start date. Offering fans who have already paid in full the option of a refund. • Open up a support system to fans who pay annually and have entered difficulty due to the impact of COVID-19. • Offer a guarantee that if we do not see another live game this season, fans receive a refund on a pro-rata basis based on the remaining home games with an option of a one-payment refund or a reduction in further payments. • Season Ticket Holders not on the 9 and 10-year deals should be given a guarantee that no payment will be taken until a guaranteed plan of action for the resumption of football is in place. Many fans will be able to continue paying as normal, but we do believe that Newcastle United should be doing more to ease the financial burden on supporters who currently find themselves in difficulty. Canceling your season ticket because of the financial impact of COVID-19 should not be an option during these times. We will be continuing to press the club on this issue and we want to work with them to ensure we can find a positive solution. Newcastle United should not be the only football club in the Premier League that offers no support to their loyal fans. We will always strive to protect the interests of our members and fan base. Please look after yourself and your loved ones over the weeks and months ahead. STAY HOME. PROTECT THE NHS. SAVE LIVES.

I've said it for years that once the parasite goes, King Kev HAS to be involved as either Club Ambassador or Club President! Shearer should definitely be involved too - the more iconic figures involved to promote the Club the better!

Happy STID 2 Day everyone :lol:

Something about Niall talking to Louis van Gaal's wife tickles me. "Who is it?..... Tell him I'm out."

Didn't Rafa get her involved too?

He was superb the season he was here! Scored a pearler at home to Arsenal too! I had forgot about the Juve goal in the friendly - absolute screamer!

Don't do it to yourself, Paully. It'll be gutting if Caulkin has put this story out with no substance to back it up. Why didn't he just leave well alone ? He's got links to Staveley - there is no way he'd have penned that article without a lot of belief and inside info that this was happening - he always remains quiet on takeovers so it's a huge thing for me this!

In a way it would be a shame that it happened during lockdown, football is in limbo at the minute, makes it a bit harder to celebrate. But still...fuck yeah if it happens. Definitely mate with sadly what's going on in the world. Hopefully it gets announced the day after Lockdown is removed!
