Think we’re burying our heads in the sand if we think he wouldn’t even think about going there. If he’s promised significant funds as being reported and complete control then he’d go imo. If talks don’t work out here of course, which we know is a distinct possibility
Read that Boro would be looking for no less than £20 million for him. Guess that’s what a relegated defender whose team failed to gain promotion goes for these days
In a way it’s a real shame our current side will never get a crack at these. They are perfect for a derby game, we win when it really matters, togetherness, leadership, graft like f*** and have a manager who is so cool in the big games. Pity
Their first choice CM’s Dembele and Dier are out for this FWIW, might see Moussa. Probably won’t make a difference with Ali, Son, Eriksen and Kane in there like
Totally get the sentiment and it’s hard to disagree with a lot of it but for me the only place for Newcastle United should be the PL. it’s not about being elitist and it is just great to be able to enjoy winning football matches but for a club of our size anything other than the PL is failure, and being stranded down for years would be agonising.
The new owner sounds a bit of a charlatan, said a few weeks back the deal wouldn’t be happening. Now he’s left Eastleigh in the shit, they’ve had 4 managers apparently since last season. Anyone putting upwards of £10 million into semi professional football is going to see a relative amount of “successs” bearing in mind there is literally no money at that level.
This could be what they are all hoping for but equally could be an unmitigated disaster
Good thing is they have to win, it really is utterly pointless them coming to sit back. I think they’ll go for it and we seem to do alright against these teams. 2-1 to us
dismal reading for them that, unless short puts money in it's hard to see how the fuck they don't go into admin surely?
Parachute payments will sort that for another 12 months, insolvency can’t be far off after that though
