He is shit

So...apart from Krafth, Charnley was at SJP all day today to try and complete deals for a striker and a midfielder for tomorrow, sounds as if both could get done. Don’t know the names though.

Xisco and Nacho Gonzales

Schar seems sensible and intelligent enough to block out Bruce's guidance

Seems an odd signing unless Yedelin is proper crocked

Maybe they see the swedish guy as a right sided centre half in a three. Only schar is really comfortable there

Sterry should have gone ages ago. Another example of giving out long contracts for no reason

This is ridiculous to be honest, nobody wants Ashley to still be here, not even Ashley himself. He’s got his price, and yes I’ve no doubt that he’ll be incredibly difficult to deal with and have SD tied in to all kind of club related things, but I think these potential buyers have been largely been chancers with huge question marks against whether they ever had the funds to buy the club. The bottom line for me is that if someone wants to buy the club then they’ll have to pay pretty much the asking price. Is the club worth the asking price, very possibly not.

 

I don’t think Ashley will ever sell us when we’re out of the Premier League as he’ll not get his money back; we’d need to turn to complete s*** for Ashley to sell and we could end up attracting Donald type buyers as Ashley’s parting f*** you.

 

My stepson has jacked his ST in, I’m on the 10 year deal and like others have been paying for this season since February. I’ve boycotted before and no doubt will do so again; will I attend on Sunday, I really don’t know. The players haven’t done anything wrong, I didn’t want Bruce but he was never going to turn it down. Will boycotting tell Ashley something he already doesn’t know, I doubt it, will boycotting attract new buyers, I doubt it but it could encourage any out there to try low balling Ashley.

 

Ultimately, Ashley is the disease, that should never be forgotten, polarising the fans and slagging fans, players or the manager off really has no place in all of this. I’d love to know the true story about these supposed bids.

 

From what I’ve been told Rafa was offered a 8 year deal with a wage increase of £2M per year (seems a hell of a lot but there you go), he was also promised £50M plus revenue from sales in each of the next 2 seasons. Now we all know Ashley is a habitual liar and the money he is currently spending may well have not been given to Rafa however, we’re now told that Rafa decided in May that he was leaving. Rafa is meticulous in everything so the move to China must have been in the pipeline for quite some time prior to that and must have involved his family and his inner circle (those on the scouting side thought he’d be staying).

 

I’ve also no doubt that the signings we’ve recently made are what the club wanted and Rafa didn’t want. Who knows what’ll happen about upgrading the Academy and Training facilities. Politically, Rafa has murdered Ashley and he goes with everyone’s best wishes. My one question is why Rafa didn’t make clear his intentions on his future sooner, no sooner had the club announced he’d be leaving that we learned that he was off to China something we’d all scorned at. This left the club in a ridiculous position (they believed he would stay) and I’ve no doubt put potential managers saying thanks but no thanks to the job. Rafa didn’t have to do that and if it was his parting get stuffed to Ashley it was one that also affected the team and has split some of the support.

 

I’ve rambled through this and still don’t know if I’ll go on Sunday, I am convinced however that supporters slagging each other off will have Ashley laughing and is the last thing that Rafa would have wanted. Rafa bought into the club, the city and the fans, he knew the enemy and got out. It’s not that easy for the fans, that should be respected, do not underestimate the power of match attending fans as well, without those fans against Spurs Rafa would have left within a week of that game. Ashley Out.

Good post and valid points. It does feel shit not supporting the players it's not their fault Ashley is a disease (apart from Colback). Hope team do well but Steve Bruce man what a fucking joke no matter how predictable it was. Feel for me dad too who is 71 he wont go because of Ashley. If people keep going it will never change

Shame we can't find out how many ten quid tickets are flogged to foreign students. Deduct them and you might find out what the real crowd is

Mulcaster United ???

Agree that dummet is gash. Hate the way he has to be square on to the ball to control it. Then his passing which to be fair has improved is still awful

Plus hes always injured for half the season

But you must ask, do we really need to spend £10m on a left-back when the club has Paul Dummett?

Yes. Dummett has missed half the season with injury every year with the exception of the championship

Even 45k is a success when you think in the 90s we probably could have sold 70k. It's a move in right direction. I've a mate who has three season tickets for him and his two kids. He has paid for train tickets and a couple of us are giving him the refund so he wont be going vs Arsenal

The midfield three is first choice pretty much. On paper they should complement each other nicely but it all falls on Shelvey.

Doubt Matty Longstaff is first choice like.

Hopefully he moves ahead of colback in the pecking order

Could be five depends where dummett and Ritchie play

Basically two attacking players though ?

Gayle upfront would be awful

Not sure Schar would be great in a four at the back

Shelvey drops back when we have clark, dummett and lascelles at the back players not great on the ball.  From memory when shelvey played at the start of last season schar and lejeune weren't in the team plus it was mainly hoselu up front

The season before when lejeune came into the team, Shelvey played his best football because he was able to play further forward knowing Lejeune could pass it out from the back

I sent them a merchandising idea to raise much needed funds for players, repairs and updates to training ground. 

My idea was essentially for the club to produce mugs and shirts stating Mike Ashley is a cunt

Not heard back yet like

Horrifically out of his depth but we knew that already.

 

and he works on his own so he has nobody to help, poor fucka will probably have a heart attack like JK

 

Be interesting to see how many other clubs out of the professional 92 only have 1 senior executive and no board members and how many have that senior executive who was an ex ticket office clerk or secretary

 

I looked at other clubs in the Premier League to see what type of people they have running the club. Compared to Newcastle the likes of Everton and Leicester have an army of people behind the scenes running the club. They have many directors, executives and heads of departments in control of things from finance to communication.

 

Is it any wonder Newcastle are so slow to do anything when they only have Charnley in charge who can't even do anything unless Ashley approves it.

 

Begs the question even further, where the fuck does the money all go? We're not exceptional payers for our level, have skeletal staff in most areas, spend nothing on transfers, the academy and training facilties are primitive - everything is done on a shoestring. Yet we're living in the age of ridiculous TV money, us having one of the top 20 revenues in Europe, and season after season goes by without us either spending any significant money on anything or reporting profits at a level that really raise any eyebrows. It's dodgy as fuck.

Nail on head and why he will never sell. NUFC is paying for Ashley's shit high street investments so he has no personal risk.

Peter graves is a knob always acting the big lad in his half mast pants & shit pasties in the bars before the game. Anyone know where he got his degree in journalism from? I think all Newcastle fans should boycott sky sports unreal how biased their coverage is compared to BT or the BBC

So Steve your 6th choice we really want you. Could you resign and we will give you an extra £50 quid for the transfer kitty 

Probably late to this, but massive fan of the club stressing his buy-out clause was met - desperately trying to absolve themselves of any blame.

 

Maybe have a bit of f***ing ambition and he'd have stayed put?

Does anyone seriously think he'd have left if Rafa was still here? Any half decent player will be looking for a way out.

 

£30m sounds like a lot but we'll waste it on poorly scouted £6m 21 yr old hopefuls. I barely gave the story a second glance tbh, just past caring at this point.

He was making noises about leaving while Rafa was still here like

Probably knew that Rafa would leave after being messed around by Ashley. Didn't take a genius to see what would happen and he seems a bright lad.  I think he will be a huge miss for us

I've just put a few quid on Fat Sam. With the Nolan bullshit can just see the excuse 'heading into the season it was essential we have an experienced manager, we are confident he can keep this quality group of players in the premiership's.  No new signings but we have Colback an experienced English international returning to the squad

I was considering joining but he's saved me a quid there. Is and always will be a total w*****.

 

He’s one of a board of many, people need to get over this obsession with him. His contacts and reach have been invaluable to the board over last six months.

Wraith is like Dollars David Van Day trying to take over Bucks Fizz. He will put more off than he attracts. Blokes a muppet

If Perez thought a takeover was happening he wouldn't go to Leicester.  This confirms to me it's all bullshit

Looking forward to Longstaffs release clause being activated that was set when he was still a glint in the milkman eye

No takeover, no rafa, no perez, no rondon, no longstaff, no duvravka, no schar, no lascelles

Looking forward to fat sam, colback and Hoselu next season

The helicopter was probably picking perez up

Contract should have been sorted last summer so China wasnt even an option.  Mind if Schar or Almiron was off to china we would be calling them money grabbers
