Well aye, you’ve got to learn from your mistakes because doing the same thing again whilst hoping for a different result is the very definition of madness Don’t keep sucking down 1.5 litre creamer tac buckets if it makes you whitey every time, was a lesson learnt by someone I know who isn’t me

It could be argued quite convincingly that anyone drinking in most of those boozers you listed has a screw loose. No offence intended.

I reckon we seem to get most of our recruitment process right, apart from the all important offer and acceptance stage. But also, that's hardest to control, because clubs that we thought might sell will ask for daft money, or change their minds. Or players that said they were up for NUFC, will change their minds when a cartel club joins the chase. Identifying great players, understanding their fit with the club ethos, sussing out their financial demands, getting a feel for whether their club might sell. That's the easier bits and we seem pretty good at that. It's being able to combat interest from other clubs, or dealing with unwilling sellers that we're really struggling with. Throwing money around would solve the problem more often than not, but as long as PSR exists we're prevented from doing that. So learning from our naivety, casting the net wider / going for the next tier of player down, might well be the solution.

That's what I mean by NUFC not having the financial freedom. We can't compete to sign the starlets because the cartel clubs can outspend us. So we get outplayed on money and / or club stature. To get over the stature issue we'd need to outspend the cartel clubs, but we'd fuck ourselves on PSR If we sign older players that are less likely to be of interest to the cartel clubs, we'll fuck ourselves on PSR

I'd say the opposite. We've done extensive groundwork on a small number of very relevant targets. But we've been after the same players that the bigger boys want. We seem to have been blindsided by other clubs stepping in, rather than not doing our homework. We've either been very naïve and overestimated how attractive we really are, or strung along by agents and clubs. I think the big lesson to learn is that we don't have the stature or financial freedom to go after the brightest young starlets. We need to be going after the next pool down and trusting Eddie to turn those players into worldies.

Aye, we're stood in Dontinos, its 25 mins till closing time, the DJ is playing his Erection Section classics and we're mooching about at the side of the dancefloor on our own. We tried to chat up a couple of worldies earlier in the night but lost out to Studley Goodfuck and Mike Oxlong. There's no getting away from the fact the doomsday clock is rapidly approaching midnight, it's the cold hard truth. We need excitement and we need it fast. But all is not yet lost.

Would rather sign Reg Vardy

They give a massive discount and also add some DMT to the crack It's the only logical explanation for some of the absolute nonsense that gets posted on here about transfers
-
Don't underestimate the effect of people believing everything they read on the Twatter about who we're allegedly trying to sign Romano and the other habitual bullshitters make false claims about our interest and people lap them up, then people say its a failure when that player signs for someone else I'm not saying we haven't struggled to bring some players in that we genuinely attempted to sign, but I bet only a tiny % of "links" that get shared on NO have any basis in truth

With a Wissa bit of luck, he'll be on the plane tonight Holler with the rinsin' sound Holler with the rinsin' sound Holler with the rinsin' sound

That Sorlath kid moves clubs more than Soft Mick And now he's fallen out with Simeone and is demanding a move Sounds like a wrong'un to me

I've heard that part of that funding has been ringfenced to cover the cost of moving Leazers Terrace to Forth Yards, brick by brick

Hello, is that the Barca Sporting Director ? Great, I’ve got a proposition for you. A quadruple swap deal with 3 of your lot coming to Newcastle and Isak coming to Barca. Yes, I have been huffing a bag of glue. Sorry, I don’t speak Catalan so I don’t know what “puta” means, can you say it in English ? Oh, so that’s a firm “no” then. Hello, hello, are you still there ?

All the daft Judas cunt needs to do is go onto the Google, type “footballers burgled Cheshire” and there’s about a million billion news articles about how rife is round there Fair point on the not feeling safe in a property where you’ve had a home invasion though, that’s completely understandable. Although as a millionaire renter he can up sticks easily enough and move somewhere in the Newcastle area with better security

Tino and Lewis want a word with you outside

My pal who's been a Chelsea season ticket holder for decades said he would happily give NUFC a few quid as a donation towards us taking Jackson off their hands Make of that what you will

He looks like Catweazle

Wonder what the world record is for how many times a club has tried to sign a player and the player has turned them down I'm thinking Norris McSquirter and Roy Castle will be presenting NUFC with an award if we go in for Pedro again
