Match of the Day done a 'Top Ten PL Bonkers Moments' - 40% of them Newcastle.

Fucking hell, that’s an impressively clueless post.

They were League 1 at the time, so probably not.

That only works if you have space to do it, our stands are already pitchside.

They’re just half season tickets, identical to any that had been sold in previous seasons.

It's not the SD board, it is the auditors "Furious shareholders are expected to oust the entire board of Sports Direct auditor RSM at the embattled firm’s annual meeting this morning as discontent within the firm pours out into public view. Five shareholders, who claim the backing of about two-thirds of investors, have tabled a motion to remove the current management, as first reported by The Telegraph." Unless I'm mistaken, Ashley owns the majority of shares in SD so nothing can pass without his approval. It’s the board of RSM they’re talking about, nothing to do with Ashley/SD beyond the fact they were recently appointed as SD auditors.

Was going to say, would be very surprised if there was anything specific in T&Cs restricting renewal - would’ve been counterintuitive to what the club (Ashley) was trying to achieve by offering them.

Dybala too, must be our first signing all wrapped up.

Part of me would be a little disappointed to see us extend the Gallowgate. Love the uniqueness of the stadium at present.

Aye, I’ll try to get the time right, wandered in and out the last one 15 minutes late after confusing it with the gen chat quiz.

Genuinely as excited about refurbing the stadium & training ground as anything else.

Wish people would stop posting Twitter links with the mobile bit.

Never knew that, but aye. Thought it was just a case of balancing the books overall "Clubs need to balance football-related expenditure - transfers and wages - with television and ticket income, plus revenues raised by their commercial departments. Money spent on stadiums, training facilities, youth development or community projects is exempt."

Got to be Rafa. Anyone else would just be passing through for the payday. As others have mentioned too, it's still going to be a long-term project just to get us up to speed with the rest of the league in terms of facilities etc.

Talk of PL being behind closed doors for 18 months, just stick with Bruce for a bit - can't be winning our first title in front of an empty stadium.

Heard MBS wasn't clapping at his doorstep Thursday gone, scum.

I like right next door to them and honestly they're not half as bad as the media tries to portray them, what many people in the UK think of them is quite far from the reality. They literally kill journalists ffs Next door to them, in what sense? Currently picturing Bin Salman tending to the garden of a quiet semi-detached. "Aye, canny lad, keeps himself to himself. Media blow that whole beheading journalists stuff completely out of proportion, was just a misunderstanding."

We still not the richest, most insufferable club in the world yet?

That was when this story originally broke back in... Jan?

Just went through the thread on his last post, mirror image of this one right now... 11 months ago.

Sky reporting it explicitly as the "end of Ashley's 13 year reign" - not just deal agreed etc.

Had on - was Luke playing it all down in a deleted tweet a few hours back?

I think it means he's making it up as he goes along. Sources close to the deal = he's just caught up on your earlier posts in here.
