Ghandis Flip-Flop

Just saw it on Twitter when I was supposed to be working ? https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2024/03/18/newcastle-embarrass-mackems-on-monday-as-toon-kids-beat-strong-sunderland-side/

Aye despite them using 6 first team players too ?

Sound more like the sports science team than the manager myself, or is bad info given to Howe, his fault too now?

That’s true, but from personal experience a bone bruise on my knee initially hurt way more than it did when I did my ligaments; where I was able to play on for the remainder of the game only realising what had happened a few days later when it locked when I was out walking the dog. TLDR no one knows what the injury is or for that matter exactly what the hell caused it.

You're not alone there

You forgot Alex Murphy too

His wage is thought to be £1.5M a year, so hardly a big chunk of £20M to keep paying him til September

I think people are also forgetting, this summer sees the Willock transfer and the first post takeover window losses, fall off in terms of ffp too. So we really might not have to sell one of our better players, moving on the likes of Miggy, Target, Lascelles etc might give us a good bit of wiggle room financially.

Make sure you don’t curl your toes when cringing, the little ginger weirdo might latch onto them ?

Fucking hell we have an even more negative Nostradamus here, how long until the rapture?

Is that not in part what the new Stack is meant to sort though? I think the increase in matchday revenue will also be increased by the club taking control of the club shops again from this summer

Nah it seems there’s a bit of a schism forming between Parish and Textor

Wouldn't be surprised if he's still not in place until after the summer window shuts, even if compensation is agreed. I think Newcasltle will be protecting themselves as much as possible, given how critical this summer is going to be for us.

Even without FFP we'd still have had a number of them on the bench. You can’t just change an entire squad that quickly, without it severely affecting player morale and cohesion. For what it’s worth I think there was an opportunity to be more ruthless last summer and I think in hindsight they maybe would’ve sold Miggy and Wilson when their respective values had peaked if they had that chance again. But even without FFP we wouldn’t have made wholesale changes, building genuine squad depth will take time.

So what did the 0-0 show us last year exactly? I get people's frustration at last nights result, but let’s not pretend there aren’t any other mitigating factors outside of FFP that influenced that.

There’s an element of truth there, but you have to admit it’s not the slick professional "just get things done" things as advertised. It’s a bit cringe, not on the same level as some of Boehly's public utterances, but not far off. I can only imagine the headlines this would’ve generated if we'd acted this way when getting him from Brighton, the press would’ve torn our owners to shreds.

Well he has publicly stated he supports them so it tracks, eh @Froggy

I think there’s an element of that, I think the bigger part is we don’t want to be seen as a soft touch. This is really our first opportunity to publicly display that

Success looks very different at Nice compared to what is deemed successful at Man Utd. I’d argue it’s easier to achieve and maintain that relative success in Ligue 1 too.

Not had a great record with their F1 involvement either. It’s almost as if Brailsford's marginal gains stopped adding up, once people got wind of the magic inhalers

Well hopefully he'll be History once Man Utd stump up the cash, making us whip up a Storm In Heaven, in FFP terms

Takes me back, I was about 8 or 9 on my first holiday abroad in Blanes (Costa Bravo), watching it in a bar ran by localish Barca fans

My experience of Manc's when in the RAF would be the total opposite. Scousers are genrally sound away from football tribalism, but Manc's always have a wierd self satisfaction and arrogance. Even when there's nothing to back it up. .....Oh sorry you said Man Utd fans, so the ones you've spoken to are probably not Mancs

Kid during the 80's rather than 90's perchance? i sorta straddle both periods being born in '78 and as a consequnce have a pathological hatred of both of them

1. Were not getting Edward’s for the reason others have outlined on multiple occasions 2. it might be weird, but him continuing to do his job will be the norm until Man Utd actually approach the club. They've apparently contacted him directly, but as of yet not formally contacted the club. Which IMO is another reason why we should rinse the cunts as much as possible for being utter dicks and playing this out publicly and unprofessionally.
