Not after yesterday's panto interview from Widow TWanky.

'The fleeting moments of hope and joy this club has given under the likes of Keegan and Robson surely makes this amateur hour even more infuriating when you know what it is capable of?' Say this Wormy and the pendulum immediately swings the other way to the Ashley sentiment of 'WTF do you want Man City ©' (copyright of the Regime) It's ludicrous. I'd like to remember the older times as a different era and focus on moving forward but any degree of foresight suggests that bedlam is never far enough away.

P.S. No Miley Cyrus mockups based on that last bit pls *shudder*

Well for a start Charnley wouldn't know his own opinion if it gave him a haircut and so is an extension of Ashley's involvement; he's only stepped back in the sense he's told us that. When he says 'we're not Man City or competing with countries' it completely misses what anyone is getting at. Use the clubs own money available fine, realise that it will take (more) time; okay, it's first season back let's consolidate - but the tone is such that he seems to genuinely believe 'We're Newcastle United ffs' is the bottom line and that's the only way of looking at it. Those two extremes. Whether he is inarticulate moron or a calculating mastermind is by the by. It's an horrendous way to undermine all the positive stuff Rafa has said so far about backing the team and biding our time as part of a project. Smacks of a complete lack of cohesion and co-operation at the top which precedent unfortunately shows one outcome with these dickheads. I'm very much trying to avoid second-guessing Rafa as I take him at his word but Ashley is nothing but a wrecking ball when it comes to pretty much anything. Forget Keegan, Shepherd et al. at this juncture - it's all about working together to create positivity and drive the club forward. None of what he said was constructive yesterday, however 'honest' it is.

Give over with this. We're not Arsenal fans. Too much using the language of the enemy - entitlement, expectation, Let's talk decency, responsibility and putting the club first. FWIW I agree that Rafa is under no illusions at this point, but ultimately this 'we're Newcastle United ffs' rhetoric won't sit well with him imo.

So we've been shite before for a longtime, progressed a bit so shouldn't really be so bothered when someone comes along and completely disregards that because he can? Ashley doesn't care about any history or heritage. It's not even about winning, losing or position. It's the principle of merely thinking small time because it makes Ashley's life easier. No thanks. I don't prefer any reckless, 'geordie nation' rot like we had before either but like I said it isn't related to history or heritage. I suppose he has a stay of execution in terms of good will as long as he keeps Rafa on side but he's making difficult work of that. Really it will truly tell at the end of the season and if and when an amount of PL comes in. He clearly wants it in the bank which I suppose has merit but it's risky to say the least. I'm not happy about yesterday's comments mind and it has fuck all to do with entitlement and I'm very much a 1992'er.

This has little to do with where we'll finish. I'll take 17th this season. People being 'negative' and booting off are doing so because they want some competency and slick operation, not because they are bet setters and anarchists. If I'm going to invest time in something I want it to be looked after. If I can see my ferraris exhaust is going to fall off I'm not going to just enjoy it whilst I have it - you kick up about it. I want to enjoy life undercrafa as much as anyone and I'll challenge any defamation of this club when I see it. The man who is the custodian is causing a needless circus. Again.

That fucking website man. I'd do less mischief to my computer if I let off an EMP.

Worst thing he's ever said in my opinion. Just shows he hasn't listened, accepted any responsibility and that he has no interest in what the club is actually about as he completely misses or avoids the actual point. Damning.

Good job we never signed those other 10 Lasagne chops was on about then. Larry wouldn't give him this level of grief.

That'll show him, Jack. 40K mind for this brainless husk

Compared to who? Thauvin? Cabella? Ben Arfa? Marveux? Mbiwa? Jonas? Anita you mentioned. ...and Ryan Taylor got less grief.

Care to point out how I've apologised for him, if you're referring to me? Is it because I didn't end my post by calling him a fat c***? You and Zero, yes. Do some f***ing reading from the stacks and stacks of analysis done by not just good posters on here but also on the web in general about how clueless or actually shady the fat man has been with the club's money. Not to mention totally destroying our earning potential and revenue over the years. Maybe stop apologizing for him in hushed tones? And yes, calling him a fat c*** would go for in endearing you to some of the posters on here who actually see the forest for the trees. :lol: Laugh all you want, and in hindsight I offer my apologies for being a cunt to you, but to say this has totally ruined my disposition, and excitement for this season, would be an understatement. We need to just vent our anger at the fat man. OCK's post was pretty fair and added some perspective amongst the hostility. It's less the financial side of this which pisses me off, more the timing and the outright shite he's spouting. Agreed, it's the tone, the inference, the condescension, the shirking and lack of respect for Rafa and the fans valid views that bother me.

No-one is scum mate...bar that twat Curry. Seems where footballs concerned though logic and zero tolerance go out the window.

This sign you up automatically after last year?

I'm not so bothered about the situation as so much as the way that came across. I know he's grossly inarticulate but he believes this bargain basement bullshit about us being minnows.

Who wants him to speak more like? I don't give a fuck personally about communicating with the fans in the way some describe, as long as you communicate a positive culture/mission statement and sufficiently communicate with your own management team. You're right though. Charnley is a complete millstone, but once again it's because he's cheap and compliant.

What was he asked before he interrupted the guy?

HATE the way he says ..'it's Newcastle United' like that means we're minnows. I was toying with getting my membership sorted this week but I'll do something more constructive like stick pins in my jap.

He, after all just fell in their lap. You can bet we've have John Gregory or lasagne face back otherwise.

I doubt it's a co-operative party line on Rafa's part. Obviously not liking having someone who isn't prepared to just spout snakelike rot.
