sydneycove not doing his 'we can have a football culture too!!' argument much good here.

First time I've heard Llambias speak on the radio this morning. Doesn't sound like what I expected.

If a company really wanted some positive advertising they should buy the rights and name it 'St James' Park'

They're deleting all the negative ones. Nice one lads. Jesus wept.

They only managed to force that pair out because there was more lining up to buy their oh so famous club. They're as powerless as every other set of fans but are just placed in a lucky situation. Edit: Also will be interesting to see how things go over the next couple of years. Henry is as ruthless a businessman as any other owner. You've already seen some of the sickening noises coming out of Anfield. I bet most of them wont be that bothered how they get there if they end up top of the pile again.

Wonder where that fucking tosspot is at the moment. Bet he can't wait to get on and WUM about how good a decision this is.

That's still his brand in clear bright colours with meaningless black text next to it... Just like the on the East stand. Exactly what I was gonna say.

Exactly a chance to name a new stadium and they copy one thats been known for years, pathetic really. Years of 'Joker Park' Call new ground the 'Stadium of Light'

Was just about to say this. Too cynical?

Could be worse, could have been born a mackem.

Bingo. The whole thing is tacky. Even if you do get a company interested it'd be some two-bit brand of a similar ilk to SD happy to have any kind of publicity, good or bad. Drop in the ocean financially. Hence why I just don't think they have any interest in selling the rights on.

“What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.” - Sir Bobby Robson

Good luck fighting another fire on your own, Pards.

The whole thing was contrived to fuck. It's clear as day in hindsight.

11 game unbeaten run = barely visits forum at all, doesn't post about the football Mike Ashley shits on club = on to relish the gloom Bizarre character.

The article says they will.

Just proves how far his tenticles reach. We all knew he had the local press eating out of the palm of his hands already.

The whole show was a fucking set up man. It's clear as day. They spent the entire time sucking Mike Ashley off and all the good he had done for NUFC. Then ended it with that cryptic soap opera line. I always thought it was weird having an hour long show on a national radio dedicated to NUFC.

I feel violently ill. I hope this prick dies and soon.

nufc.com have a good piece up.

Coincidence that an hour long session of sucking off Mike Ashley and what he has done for NUFC comes literally hours before the bombshell hitting the papers tomorrow? I think not.

Makes me completely sick to the stomach this.

Honestly thought he spoke well considering pre-defined topic and limited timespan to talk in.

They mention it with a cryptic last line! ffs

The comparison with Lyon is good one. Not that I reckon we've actually used that as a model.
