Woke up this morning looking forward to today/tonight. there could be a song in there somewhere.

my mates lass went to college there and we used to stay over- there is fuck all to do but look for someone with a camera to annoy.

why are the mongs out- have they not got internets like?

ffs dont let mike read that He'll already have done the sums long ago. yep- he will already know the value of his squad and revenue projections/ what he has paid out, and where that breaks even. Getting 35 million for carrol has just helped him along that road.

ffs dont let mike read that

am I wrong in thinking we could have woken up tomorrow with a 35 million pound striker in our team- but it wouldnt have cost mike anything.

this is how i see it. im a massively optimistic person in my life- but fuck me theres nothing optimistic here. I believe when he realised he paid too much for the club- the debt etc. he set about trying to recoup that in any way possible, untill he can sell- get out wihout a loss. he just got 35 million pounds closer today.

yep- and making points some of us on here have been roundly ridiculed for.

Try now. got it cheers.

I'll make my mind up on this one when the money is either spent or not spent. We didn't do much with the Woodgate money and ended up losing our manager who would piss all over the current one. fucking hell man mick - how long before you spot the trend. You mean the tendency of many posters to descend into gibbering lunacy? Dave how does that Ignore user function work?

3 months ago- and people were saying Ashley could destroy it all at any moment.....

Abso-fuking-lutely

so 17th in the league is more ambitious than 1st cheers Mr Ashley. Are we voting in league positions, though? Or numerical values representative for the various emotions regarding ambition? Not that I care. oh- fuck off

are we ambitious tho? do you prefer to support an ambitious club, or one that just wants to survive? I don't think we're ambitious, or a club that just wants to survive. That's why I rated us as a 5. fair do's

well base your vote on your belief of what he will do. for me 10 mill in the summer.

Ambitionometer if you like. on a scale of 1 to 10 how ambitious is this club. 1 --- we would never sell our best players and look to build and win stuff. down to 10 sell our best players.

You mean the same journo's who said before the transfer "We've heard Carroll wants to leave". Now they're saying "He didn't want to leave" but we're supposed to believe these paragons of virtue? We don't need to believe one side or the other, just make up our own minds. Unless you're a fantasist its pretty easy to see what's happened here. We didn't want to sell (of course we'd always be willing to sell at a certain price, everything's for sale), but Carroll got itchy feet and asked to leave. At which point we accepted the already excellent deal on the table. No point in rejecting what is a fantastic offer if the players wants to go. Why we have to bring in Area 51 levels of insane conspiracy into what's a fairly clear situation is beyond me. teasy regardless of the order of the events. Are we selling the clubs best striker? Are you happy about this? Do you think 50k fans deserve better? Where does this leave Ashleys 5year plan? Do you believe the club will progress under Ashleys ownership?

agreed Yeah, Carroll wanted to be hated just to save Ashleys ass... Ashley needed to keep the goodwill of fans more than Carol. as carol has left and dosnt need to sell season tickets here. Ashley would have simply said were accepting 35mil- yr getting 80k a week- but we need a transfer request to excuse us. cant see how people cant accept this. Of course, its the least reasonable explanation for the situation and based on nothing but the hatred some people have for Ashley, obviously everyone should accept it Also love the "Ashley needed to keep the goodwill of fans", that's comedy gold he had to save face man- season ticket renewals. Cant believe some so-called newcastle fans fall for this shit time and again.
