Never done that in my life, not going to start now. Sorry!
-
We will, of course, be having a huge say in what happens in our game, in our league. Not all powerful forces in the world are (what you describe as) "cunts". It is not automatic.
-
The way you phrase things reveals how you must think. The use of the phrase "gloss over" is simply not relevant to, or descriptive of, the actual facts of the situation you are meant to be describing. Where do you get these thoughts (and phrases) from? I shouldn't react to it !!!!!
-
We will NEVER be one of the 'cunts' - Triffic !!!! Other than 'in your head' I suppose, because you must want us to be cunts. "Cunts" are people who are a certain type, and behave in a certain way. I do not ever see Staveley/Reubens/PIF ever wanting to be be "Cunts" . . . it isn't automatic you know. Our club will not, can not, be "cunts", but we will PUNCTURE the egos of a lot of "cunts".
-
It will not change immediately, but the most delightful thing about our takeover is that WE will change that around completely, in due course. YES, the sheer certainty of that happening (and it being US that do it) is the best thing about it !!!! HAPPY DAYS . . .
-
Not sure about 'matching' Spurs and Arsenal, we were well ahead of them, and by now we would/should have been a very long way ahead of them . . .
-
I don't know what they will do exactly, perhaps what you say or perhaps something else, but I know that Staveley/Reubens/PIF did not buy us to finish second, or anywhere in amongst the dross. So they will do something to defeat this. And I personally cannot W A I T to see what it is !!!!!!!

In a very successful and prosperous City Centre, such as ours, any "distance views" of anything in that City Centre are unlikely to last for long. Due to the lack of development of the temporary car park in front of St James' Metro Station, we have actually had these views (of SJP) for a lot of years. One way or the other that 'gap site' will be built on sooner or later. Already there are tall new buildings next to the Strawberry Pub, and currently there are even more tall new buildings being constucted 'around' the Strawberry as the Headquarters of Home Group Ltd. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/strawberry-place-home-group-headquarters-and-vita-student-accommodation-newcastle-various-u-c.981402/post-176383855 Gap Sites in City Centre locations are always just temporary, no matter how much some of us may want some of them to remain.

Which is why those very enthusiatic part-owners of NUFC will not do that.
-
IF the Reubens choose to buy the land under discussion, above St James' Park Metro Station, NOW - then it will be for stadium expansion purposes only.
-
Leazes Terrace is FANTASTIC, in my opinion. Not sure where they could move it to but if anyone could afford to do it our new owners could. However, it would never get planning approval.
-
Next to Newcastle Racecourse in Gosforth Park has been SO often mentioned in the past !! NO - let's stay in the City Centre.
-
An empty hill with the Angel of the North Sculpture stuck at the top of it is about as 'inappropriate' an idea for the City Centre that it is possible to imagine !!! Space is too expensive, too much in demand in the City Centre. It works fantastically well out in a country area next to the A1, it is actually great there to welcome people to (the start of) 'home' if you've been Down South.

In 2010 I wrote a detailed article about the 1972 proposals, that you are describing, over on the Newcastle Forum of Skyscraper City . . . https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/newcastle-as-it-might-have-been.1009531/post-53665235
-
I don't agree with any of that, none of it at all.
-
Our new owners are not the type of people to 'skimp' on things like this, or on anything. The final end-result will be worthy of our club and its supporters.
-
That sort of thing WILL happen, but not everything can sensibly happen immediately. It is great and it is just gonna keep on getting greater and greater and greater !!!
-
Yes, the letters were sold one-by-one in 2011, on eBay, by the Newcastle United Foundation . . .
-
I had 10 shares during the Hall/Shepherd era, I would be happy to buy another 10 now! Funding problems solved.
-
I think that is very unlikely to be true. Though, if you believe the Media, it is true . . . but of course as they have no access to anything at all that is actually going on at the new NUFC, it is (as I say) very unlikely to be true.
-
I only actively supported Gateshead for a few years when my nephew, Lee Novak, was playing for them. Most of the people I met there were Gateshead fans and (in reality) they were also Newcastle Fans, though principally Gateshead first. I never heard about anyone from Sunderland there, ever!
-
Very unlikely in South Newcastle !!!
-
That's the thing that disappoints me the most. The club (and us fans) get actual criticsm and some 'hate' for the fact that it is 80% owned by the Saudi P I F, whereas if (any of) these people actually REALLY cared about Human Rights, they should be praising NUFC to the high heavens. WE will prove to be the best thing that happened to future human rights in Saudi Arabia, and that is so O B V I O U S, it almost makes you think that our loud-spoken critics actually don't mean it at all, they just have another agenda !!!
-
That is one of the main benefits to the Saudi people of their marvellous acquisition of NUFC . . . our world will slowly and inevitably 'rub off' on their world more and more and more, as the years go by.
-
Exactly this.
