  1. We paid him over £10m in those 9 years. I've went over to Premier League Stats. 141 saves in 52 games (Rob Elliot) 2.71 saves per games 238 saves in 79 games (Martin Dubravka) 2.97 saves per game The stats speak for themselves. He was a perfectly acceptable back up keeper. He should never be number 1, but I have no problem with what the club paid him over the years. Really apart from a the odd game in the last decade, we've never been scrambling for an emergency keeper. We've always had a back up. I just find the hate weird. Midds comment is beyond embarrasing. Bit creepy tbh. Completely agree. Average, average keeper who did nothing in his time here but was fine as a third choice and not a disaster when he played. Guarantee if he hadn't made that comment about Pardew nobody would have batted an eyelid yet now he's a disgrace who needs to be abused on his way out the door
  2. Babayaro is not an ashley era signing. No requirement for him to be. The requirement was for players of the Ashley era.
  3. Perch was a cult hero in his second season. That Man United performance
  4. Not sure why so many people are putting Rozenhal - he wasn't quick/strong enough for the premier league but he wasn't a terrible defender and we got most of our money back for him. Sol Campbell and Cacapa were far worse. Sels Cacapa Campbell Babayaro Obertan Smith Butt Pancrate Riviere De Jong Xisco
  5. Not sure why its a shame. He would have known his contract wasn't getting renewed and it makes no sense him coming back for less than a month when he won't be named in a single squad.

    Very much so but i think that was pretty understandable tbf. What was the main reason? Where did it start to go bad for him with the fans? I mean the Netflix flick just shows a glimpse of what he was like but it ran deeper didn't it? He asset stripped for Short from the off and was the public face of the club ownership when he was there. Not sure about asset stripping. I think he was hated because he was very similar to Lee Charnley here. Keep costs as low as possible while trying to put on a facade of 'we're trying hard to make the club the best it can be'. Only for fans to see through it after a succession of terrible transfer windows and meaningless soundbites.
  7. I doubt he’ll play a minute of football in Italy. Why do you think that? Udinese are basically the Italian Newcastle. A couple of decent European jaunts back in the day but otherwise firmly a mid-table club that flirt with relegation often. He's not going to struggle for minutes assuming he doesn't have a massive collapse in form (and I'm aware he hasn't really played enough for anyone to be sure of his ability).
  8. £54 million is great money for Inter in the current environment. Means they should be able to hold on to Lautaro for one more season unless the release clause is met.
  9. Would be an absolutely dreadful signing, even for our current squad
  10. I'd love to know who is putting this bitch up to this as I firmly believe a few weeks ago she wouldnt have had a clue who or what Newcastle United were Her husband was murdered - grow up.
  11. Truly awful From what I recall I remember feeling his was a "plodder" did a job he was asked and you get what you pay for and signing cheap "usually" means you are buying limited players. I didnt dislike him as he did do a job but nor did I miss him leaving the club. I disagree, he was a useful outlet at times and scored some important goals (the two winners v Chelsea spring to mind). He was very inconsistent and tailed off badly towards the end which I think colours how he was thought of here. He was value for money overall.
  12. 1 Keegan(1st spell) 2 Sir Bobby 3 Rafa 4 Hughton 5 Keegan(2nd spell) 6 Roeder 7 Pardew 8 Dalglish 9 Allardyce 10 Bruce 11 Gullitt 12 Souness 13 Kinnear 14 McClaren 15 Carver I think Pardew, Dalglish, Allardyce, Gullit, Bruce and Souness are all in a group of their own and could swap round the order between themselves quite easily - all poor managers who were responsible for taking us down a level but not the absolute shitshows that were Kinnear, McClaren and Carver. Pardew just gets more stick generally because of his personality.
  13. Exactly this! One of the worst full backs I've seen at Newcastle. This forum is terrible for this sort of exaggerated bollocks
  14. He was ruined by the coaching he had here. Clearly had a lot of talent.
  15. Why not? He’s long wanted a project in England, loves the league, has learnt the language, and knows that he is still learning and a young manager, hence why he’s turned down bigger jobs like Real last year. It's completely deluded to think Nagelsmann would leave for us man
  16. yeah i made them, because he's fucking shite and swathes of our fans think he's in some way not unfit to lace rafa's loafers, they're fucking morons i think it'll all be moot anyways, season cancelled and he'll be chucked right in the bin where he deserves to be Surely the points many people are making are: - We aren't going to get relegated (I know some people disagree but we are 8 points clear with 10 or so games left, it isn't happening). - The right manager might not be available when the takeover completes, and even Rafa will be significantly cheaper in 6 months time on the basis of his contract. - Any sensible owner would sit down and take stock of everything before deciding which manager is best to take the club forward / which manager is even available at the end of the season. - The world is currently turned upside down and there'll be a huge amount of stuff to look at before even thinking about appointing a new manager. In light of the above taking time to take stock and evaluate everything while Bruce sees out the rest of the season to no great alarm makes sense.
  17. That's not correct - see above. Where's that from? Can't see anything linking them. From the security document itself posted at Companies House - you can access it on PCP's page.
  18. What’s JV1 limited? These sort of acquisitions typically have a number of companies set up at different levels of the structure by the buyer to facilitate acquisition finance going in at different levels (you'd often have loan notes being issued at one level, equity at another etc.) JV 1 was only established in Jan so that would make sense.
  19. Knew fuck all until twitter pointed out the CH changes, then it’s now direct sources. This was submitted 6 days ago, sure his direct sources would have said something then. To be fair, Companies House docs are usually reported as submitted on one date, but don't become available for public viewing until a week or so later.
  20. This is correct. She isn't depositing £150 million. The proceeds of her ongoing dispute with Barclays have been secured against this loan. She is representing and warranting that those proceeds could be worth, if she's successful, up to £150 million.
