I'm conflicted, on the one hand it's a role we've never had due to Ashley running us like a ghost ship, the guy is clearly credible with a solid CV but Mackems reckon we should be fuming because we've never heard of him (ignoring the fact most football fans would struggle to name more than a few CEO's)

I'm sure Amanda and Mehrdad said they'll still be involved as there is lots to do and it will allow us to move quicker

He was reportedly leaking stuff from the dressing room, obviously not sure how true that is but I remember seeing it reported last season @Froggy probably knows more on how legit the reports were

Betis have reportedly had a bid accepted for Aouar but he seemingly is holding out for a PL move His stock was at it's peak after they played City, seems to have fallen a bit but he's a lovely footballer, would happily take him here

Don't rate Kimpembe, think he's average but Koulibaly is a top signing

That's correct FFP or whatever it's called looks at the previous 3 years Would be interesting to see how they stack up though, not really had a big sale in a while but have spent big and are doing so again

Ah, ignore me then, I assumed it was 2024, must have gotten him confused with Hendrick

Disappointing but not at all surprising They aren't particularly good and are on wages beyond their actual level, so loan is the most realistic outcome Hopefully Clark loves it so much that he pushes for a move next summer with reduced wages

He's as reliable as a chocolate fireguard

This might be the best place for it https://twitter.com/iammrazul/status/1546576078109646850?t=AKPSsZ_iNpk_4pWxY-pwnw&s=19

Clark like a few others was signed to primarily get us promoted and he certainly played his part in that, he also played a part in helping us stay up to begin with It was clear he was out of his depth as each season went on but Ashley obviously saw giving him an extension as the cheaper option It's not his fault he was offered that extension so hopefully it's a case of thank him for his services, wish him well and we can move on.

Nah, I'm sure after that we regularly had "Sunlun get battered everywhere they go" but that fizzled out as they started to just draw 1-1 every week

Agreed, doesn't make us massively better off really If he does leave then I hope we are in for a younger keeper that's better than Darlow

This is a ridiculous and self harming attitude to have Gayle needs to go, for it to be on a permanent someone will need to offer close to what we pay him which is unlikely. A loan deal where some/most of his wages are covered benefits us

They obviously didn't get carried away with thinking Dell were going to buy the club, oh wait . . .

It's funny how he couldn't get away from Juve fast enough after they got worse, now seems set to do the same to Man-U. For all that he's spoken about as this mentality monster he seems to run away quick enough.

Surprised no one picked up on this part of his interview "I think Newcastle for now is the best step for me to develop myself Doesn't bother me as ultimately he's signed and as long he performs and we remain ambitious he'll be here for a while but knowing how some of our fans are I'm surprised they haven't panicked over it

That usually means it's pointless having training on and you might as well fly off to Portugal

But a season ticket holder has a ticket, that is their reward Obviously it's tough to find a solution where everyone is happy but allowing members to have priority then ST and then general sale seems fairer imo, though I accept I speak from a position of bias What is clear is that long term there needs to be a solution because our current stadium isn't big enough

Fully agree with this They should restrict it to Members first, then ST and then General sale Otherwise seems a little unfair on members

I'm 8 mins away but I don't recall logging in anywhere so I have a feeling this will happen to me

It's like it's full of those people that take an age at the cash point

What about Season Ticket holders? They'll still be able to purchase a ticket won't they?
