After somehow surviving last season, despite that tragic run of results under Carver, Ashley will gamble that the current squad is sufficient to get us through until May.
We'll buy no one.
I heard Allardyce saying earlier how first of all, the wanted to get to half time without conceding. After that, they'd see how things went.
Good policy
I love HBA. But he's fallen out with a number of managers and team mates. The common denominator here is Hatem. If he doesn't have an attitude problem he never plays for NUFC in the first instance.
Seems to be doing ok this season.
Leazes Terrace behind the East Stand is a magnificent example of Georgian architecture and Grade I listed.
Could it potentially be demolished and improved though?
EDIT : Ah, you're talking about the East Stand aren't you ?
Absolutely no chance that Ashley would let them employ who they wanted without his knowledge. He needs the manager to be meek, mild and unprepared to argue against him. Ashley has final say on the manager without a shadow of doubt.
