Mark Douglas saying no decision on the stadium will be taken before 2026.

What was the bother in the Leazes End (towards the east stand corner) after their second goal? Four or five people escorted out and then a police presence for practically the remainder of the game.

Indeed, same article suggests we probably will land on the right side of SCR, so small mercy there.

Athletic suggesting this morning that we’ll comfortably breach UEFAs loss limits - and like Villa and Chelsea last season, will face a financial penalty. Effectively versus the PL, the ASM deal accounts for nil profit, with the Anderson fee also marked down. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6618790/2025/09/16/bookkeeper-uefa-spending-breach/?source=user_shared_article

Bit of a non-update from Craig Hope. https://archive.ph/2025.09.11-160255/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-15088533/Newcastle-stadium-delay-badge-Dundee-tickets-injury-news-Craig-Hope.html

Craig Hope on new training ground. Elsewhere suggests it’ll be sooner than a new / expanded stadium.

For anyone wanting to look after work: went just after 4PM and unfortunately all they had was XS, 2XL and 3XL.

Drill top sold out for all but XS, 2XL and 3XL.

Lets see, anyway Harrison Ashby wins the unwelcome award for the first player to like the post…

No acknowledgement of the fans on his IG post.

https://archive.ph/y7vfo Edward’s article is worth a read. Damning. Suspect it’s as close to the official club version of events as we will get.

Mark Douglas in the Independent this morning.

This was a sensible transfer target. It’s stopped being sensible. Walk away.

For the last two years they’ve been - firstly through an external agency and then via their commercial department - seeking to close a deal on a training kit sponsor. The figure I saw and admittedly this was not recent, it would be difficult I suspect for anyone other than a related party to entertain. Comparable to a bottom half front of shirt.

More than Sesko or Ekitike but less than Isak is the reporting (seriously).

Hope the incoming Director of Football has carte blanche to clear out the individuals responsible for this clusterfuck of a window, including Andy Howe.

If this facilitates the budget going further in other positions and addressing a long term solution next year, on balance, for it. If we genuinely see something in him however. 😑

Trying and failing to get excited about this.

Appropriately coached, I wouldn’t mind Jackson as a back-up forward, there is ability there. But Chelsea have an absurd valuation of him. Be daft to go near.

Not seen it reported other than seemingly he’s on €100k now, so you’d think he’ll be looking for close to double that - so certainly above our top earners.

Wages were partly the stumbling block for Arsenal from reporting. Certainly would expect him to come in and be the top earner even if it’s not at the level Isak is aspiring too.

Unfortunately not, of the fee.

Athletic have it at 15%, which given Isaks book value would suggest Edward’s maths is a bit off.
