He’ll just be a spoke in Ashworth’s wheel. Imagine a wheel with loads of spokes and no middle bit. That’s what you have.

Without Ashworth there to facilitate, those guys will be out of control and directionless.

Weird if they really only offered £2m. I assume Rattledcliffe wants to show everyone he’s a tough negotiator, and an opening bid is expected to be low, but if they do want him then they’ll have to at least quadruple that bid, which would make him look like a shit negotiator.

Some questionable sources in this thread.

He even has a fake son to try and appear like a reasonable human being. What a charade.

Why would a journalist repeat a story from 90min? It’s like believing what you read on tribalfootball.

It sounds like Jim Rattledcliffe would be in favour of us building option C.

So they played like Man U?

If their jamminess keeps Ten Haag in the job then I’ll take it. Man City will beat them in 2nd gear in the final.

The line made it look like the feet were level

Pickford is just a shotstopper, it’s a myth that he’s good with his feet IMO.

Both keepers look like shit out there.

The sport must be such a boring thing to follow to these people. Just a few proper football clubs and the rest are feeder clubs.

Arsenal and Liverpool getting KO’d warms my cockles.

Chelsea are in a unique meltdown. This summer I expect our spending to be pretty restricted. Anyway it’s not just about Newcastle, all teams should have the chance to compete for trophies, Newcastle are in a far more fortunate position than most and we do have a slim chance of competing regularly. I’d like to see a far more even playing field throughout the league when it comes to player spending, but I don’t know how we get there. Historically, big outside investment has been the route to the top, but in recent years this has been framed as “cheating” or “financial doping”.
