Newcastle council has to be one of the most backward, narrow minded councils in the land. Gateshead aren't much of an improvement either, morons with their stupid as fuck idea for Askew Road.
Surely they have a duty to sort this ASAP as it's going to affect our summer transfer business. However, I'm not surprised in the slightest. These lot are as incompetent as I've seen in any major sporting organisation.
I could never enjoy watching Bruno F at NUFC after the last few years he's spent at Man Utd. Had we signed him from Sporting though I reckon I'd feel different.
