    They obviously just don't have anyone very good in this department, coupled with really old front and (I would guess) back office systems. 

     

    I'm not sure why the club didn't overhaul this department straight away, but I guess it's a lot of investment for the few thousand tickets that are available, and they know will sell out anyway. 

     

    And even if they had started the work on day one of the takeover, it might not be complete yet. 

     

    It really should come under customer/fan experience rather than just ticketing, because that's the main justification for improving it. 

     

     

     

     

    The whole site still stinks of Ashley - all on the cheap, looks like front end and back end are held together with chewing gum & rubber bands. It's just a crap experience that gives no-one what they want. 

     

    As a birthday treat to myself, I thought I'd splash out on a platinum club ticket for me and my son. However, I'm not that bothered where I'm sitting, and it feels like I've put all my eggs in one basket... I'd like to have been able to request two tickets in all categories, descending (i.e. try plat, then cat 1, then cat 2, then cat 3 etc). 

     

    Just doesn't feel like this has been thought through very well.

    FFS !!   Unbelievable bitterness, you can imagine their keyboards are battered to fuck and covered in spit.


    That’s not spite, mate.

    It would really be a robbery if he doesn't get the manager of the month award. He's brilliant. Tactical awareness, man management and PR handling at their best.

    Canny sad like, but it's making me consider buying FIFA for the first time in 9 years.

     

    I can recommend getting a PS5 to go with it. I might be having a midlife crisis though.

    From the athletic:

    “It is believed the Premier League are looking to bring in a ruling that any club that plays in the North East in black and white stripes must ensure their players play games with both legs through one leg of their shorts”. 
     

    it’s literally that blatant. If this was an Eastern European league the UK would be pissing themselves at the obvious corruption. 

     

    To be fair, I think our defenders have been adhering to this new ruling since the start of the season.

    Barring the fact that Hughes was actually a lot better than Dummett has ever been

     

    In a kebab shop in Stanley, I once saw someone get punched in the face for suggesting that Andy Griffin was better than Aaron Hughes.

     

    It was a gentler time.

    I'll happily admit to not giving him a chance based purely on the fact he didn't deserve a chance. His managerial CV is measly, tattered and barren as fuck and he simply didn't warrant an appointment at any PL club. He's achieved precisely nothing as a manager, absolutely zero, he's a proven failure. 

     

    Every Newcastle fan knew he was going to fail and the only question was how long it would take. He inherited a very encouraging, disciplined, organised and motivated team and his complete lack of ability and nefarious personality gradually undid all of the good Rafa had ingrained in the squad. The lack of fans last season helped to paper over the cracks for a while and, for anyone monitoring the table rather than actually watching matches, it appeared as if he was "doing a great job". The fans, as ever, can see beyond that and know what's actually happening. The connection broke irrevocably and the horrible cunt seemed determined to cast himself as a pariah. 

     

    I feel a sense of relief I'll never have to see or listen to the fat, gormless galoot ever again. The money spent getting him out is probably the best cash the new regime will ever spend. I couldn't give a fuck what he does or where he washes up next. I'm just glad the vile fuckwit is out and he'll never be our problem ever again. He's the past, Fonseca appears to be the future :aww:

    Perfect.

    "He might not be able to match Wilson and can't start every week, but we need players who can accept they will be sparely used. If you have him available, give him a chance. Don't judge him on goals because you can throw him on in games for 20 minutes and he'll be great in the air, in defence. Because he knows the club, is good in the dressing room and is so unique, he's worth keeping round."

     

    Is pretty much what he said

     

     

     

    What a time to be alive.

  9. From Lee Ryder.

     

    Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is expected to clarify where the club stand with Peter Kenyon in due course.

    The Toon owner afforded Kenyon extra time to get his finances in order but a fresh bid for the club hasn’t been forthcoming during the transfer window.

    Ashley, after much persuasion, sanctioned the funds to bring in Miguel Almiron and the loan fee and wages for Antonio Barreca on deadline day.

    It’s now 13 months since Ashley indicated that he’d pulled out of talks with Amanda Staveley and PCP Capital Partners when he dismissed the discussions as a waste of time.

     

    Now, sources close to Ashley have told the Sunday Sun that he will provide an update on where the deal with Kenyon’s US consortium currently lies.

    As it stands, United do remain up for sale for a price of around £300million - and we also understand that the price will not include additional costs to repay Ashley the interest free loans he has paid into the club.

     

    In short, this would be a straight-forward deal for a potential new owner who would get the club for £300million with a world class manager in Rafa Benitez still in place, not to mention one of the best fanbases in the game.

    But Kenyon’s efforts to buy the club are now fading.

    The club’s advertising arrangement with Sports Direct is also not holding the sale up, something that has previously been suggested.

     

    It is believed that any budding new owner will be able to wash out the Sports Direct deal from the club’s books and regain control of the club shop which is currently stocked with gear from Ashley’s retail business.

     

    Whether Ashley decides to take the club off the market again, which has done before, remains to be seen.

    Should Rafa Benitez decide to extend his contract with Newcastle he will want a clear and concise idea of what is achievable behind the scenes and not want uncertainty over spending money.

    Fans have grown tired of hearing suggestions that spending power is restricted due to the club’s for sale status.

     

    I've bolded the key word.

  10. Some cunt on SSN, looks like he works on a fruit stall, saying “Ashley is a businessman, and is this £20 million going to get us any further up the league compared to last season. Probably not so why spend the money?”

     

    "And many thanks to die-hard Newcastle United fan Mr. Beith Kishop for his honest and thought-provoking opinion today. After the break, another Newcastle fan Dandy Grey has his say."

     

    Followed by a ten pounds of sausage in a five pound skin, “Tarmac Dick”...
