Miggys First Goal

Fucks sake.

Reputational damage is a fucking joke. What about the damage to the brand when the top six tried to fuck off to the Super League.

Fuck me, we're going to be a proper organisation.

It might not be Lampard, but I think we need to accept the fact that we might have to be happy with a transitional manager to begin with. We might not get the superstars we all want immediately.

He’s here forever.

Never looked forward to a game so much.

Cheers, Mike!

Exactly! And the fact that we haven't built a new training ground yet is the most concerning.

Was just on BBC Look North. Looks like he did take training. Then got some abuse from fans waiting outside when he was driving out.

Wonder what the delay is. Imagine he convinced them to let him have his 1000 game.

Big notebook to take notes of what needs fixing at the training ground.

Wish we could have Tuchel.

Ah well, scratch his name from the list.

I think they're looking to start a new national airline so it could be that. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/exclusive-new-saudi-airline-plan-takes-aim-emirates-qatar-airways-2021-07-02/

Why don't they just say we're linked with every player on the planet. Reading the BBC football gossip page this morning. First five stories were all about us. When was the last time that happened?

When the yellow ticker flashes up on SSN after this cunt has been pushed.

What were the early days like when Ashley first took over?

Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi are said to have ‘blown away’ staff with their ambitious, progressive plans for Newcastle United. NewcastleWorld has learned Staveley, in presenting their United dream to gathered staff from the club and the Newcastle United Foundation, confidently revealed fans will see the Magpies win not only the Premier League, but also the Champions League during their ownership of the club. This statement and the duo’s chatty professionalism is understood to have impressed attendees, who roundly congratulated the PCP Capital Partners directors on their purchase - and presentation. Staveley and Ghodoussi also outlined their plans to invest heavily in the infrastructure of the club, creating new jobs and opportunities for staff already employed. Staff were told of a want for one-on-one meetings and personal development plans for every member. Staff were said to ‘open-mouthed’ and ‘emotional’ following the presentation, which was a far cry from the wall of silence dealt their way under the 14 and a half years of silence. Staveley and Ghodoussi are hard at work gathering information and doing research into the club and its processes before making decisions on all areas of the business, that includes a call on the future of head coach Steve Bruce. “My message is thank you for all the incredible support you’ve given us, and we’re so grateful, and we don’t want to let anyone down,” said Staveley in a message to fans this week. “We want to make the communication between fans and the club very fluid. We would not be here today if it wasn’t for the fans and their persistence. I got the most incredible letters and emails. I read every one. We tried to respond to every one, but we got thousands and thousands. I was so important. It kept us through dark days, and that’s why we’re here today.” https://www.newcastleworld.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/the-shock-amanda-staveley-revelation-that-has-blown-the-minds-of-amazed-newcastle-united-staff-3413101

Didn’t Virgin Money buy them out when they hit financial problems?

All or Nothing

Reckon Bruce will be gone by Wednesday.

One of the positives to hopefully come out of this takeover is an improvement in the quality of sponsorship we’ll be associated with. Not just on the shirt but around the pitch, too. Hopefully no more Flannels and the like.

Don’t know if it’s because I’ve been conditioned to expect nothing after 14 years of Ashley, but I’m still having trouble accepting that any of these players named and linked to the club will even come here. Going to take some time to wrap my head around things.

Need details.

I don’t know if I can put this into words properly but hopefully I can. Does anybody else want to savour this? By that I mean, I’m not sure I want us to go from zero to 100 immediately. Not sure I want us to have instant success. I want this to last a long time. I want to enjoy us becoming great again. Am I the only one feeling this way? I know I should be grateful to be able to feel this way at all after the 14 years we’ve had.
