The idea of Overmars has really started to grow on me and feels a good fit. Unlike Campos and others mentioned he has PL experience and the Ajax model with serious cash behind it would be something else. If we could get him and Ten Hag it would be an absolute coup and send out a major message.

It’s not ridiculous they can protest all they like, but where fully entitled to point out the hypocrisy of it aswell. The simple fact remains if we’d been taken over by a tyrant who had no money, would all these fans be so concerned ? I’m sure you’ll tell me yes, but to the majority of the fan base it comes across as hypocrisy and faux outrage.

Yeah, not convinced it’s Fonseca at all and if Lampard has ruled himself out, it’s only because he knows he’s not in running. They’re all guessing and I’m happy to wait we’re in very safe hands. I think the due diligence they’re undertaking here will be on another level.

By all accounts it was according to the Athletic earlier in week. The fox is in the hen house now, it’s to late lads.

Agree, this would have been a good appointment in the summer when personnel and tactics could have been changed. Not opposed to him as he would have been beyond our wildest dreams 2 weeks ago, however this really is a tough appointment in our position. Is he the best fit at this moment, I’m unsure and glad they appear to be interviewing candidates.

Seems like he enjoyed it.

Was brilliant and certainly made the occasion special. I’m sure the new owners enjoyed it to judging by their faces beforehand.

Just back in the house what a great day apart from the match. The atmosphere in town and outside the ground before was on another level. Having never seen Wor Flags in the flesh, have to say it was spine tingling with big river playing. Hats off to @Heronand his pals it was worth all your efforts. Walking up under the Milburn before the game haven’t heard noise like that in a long time sent shivers, was a couple of Spurs fans in front of us and they we’re visibly in awe at was going on. Have to say though after 10 mins it fell flat though as @Fantail Breeze has mentioned, understandably perhaps due to the shit show on the pitch. This club is very special today confirmed that, I don’t think a city stops like ours does on match days. Will I get a season ticket again I really don’t know, I enjoyed it but i’m fucking drained. Today was about the new owners but the product on the pitch is everything, especially in the modern day with a new breed of fan. I certainly think a singing section like we had in level 7 previously would be great if brought back. The Gallowagte seems to create all the noise and to ensure a great atmosphere going forward, I think they should shrink the family enclosure and get that singing section next to the away fans back again. What a club and when they get this right it’ll be frightening.

City Centre is buzzing HTFL

Wonder what the 2nd game is this weekend, helicopter trip with Barnes in the morning ? Hope he gets a great welcome from everyone.

Great to see the new ownership enjoying the sights. Fucking can’t wait for tomorrow. We still have a shit manager, run down stadium and dated training ground, but the cause of all that is gone now. What a fucking future awaits, it’s going to be emotional tomorrow and if the rest of the country hates us so be it. Fuck them Newcastle are back hello hello

Brilliant from the the new owners.

Yeah Barnes aswell will be keeping well in with the Saudi’s.

On that shot above of Leazes Terrace you can just see the Tyne bridge aspect to the roof of new stadium in distance, it was going to be the stadiums Wembley arch.

Aye, they went to Sunderland on match days and I think a lot we’re students, the majority of which are probably now living elsewhere.

I think an enlarged and improved Leazes Park incorporating the current SJP site could bring real benefits to the city. It would open up Leazes terrace and bring an improved green space right into the city. It would certainly encounter opposition again, but I think the overall benefits to the city with usable park space would gain a lot of support.

Am I right in thinking manorpark that the Freemen gave the Castle Leazes site the go ahead in the 90’s, and if Hall had gone the distance it would have then gone to govt planning for approval. Was it not the timescales for planning approval that made them resort to SJP redevelopment ?

Steady on pal lunatics a bit strong.

Was it not just Prince Talal who was interested in Marseille, think Jacobs confirmed PIF have never held an interest.

I’m taking it this objection to Saudi flags just applies to U.K. fans looking like tits ? I think folk are going to have to get used to seeing it when Saudi nationals start attending games. I’m presuming most won’t see this as a problem, otherwise I’d suggest quite a lot of you are going to be offended over the coming years.

This is a fucking great read, we should use Sunday to rub Levy’s fucking nose in it.

I see Mehdrad’s call for patience has been taken on board. That Burnsie cunt has been going on like a spoilt brat on Twitter over Bruce being sacked. Just fucking savour the occasion on Sunday it matters not a jot if he’s there or not. It’s all about the big picture and he won’t be employed much longer. I’ve never been so relaxed or confident in our future it feels fucking great.

Certainly is should be given the warmest welcome possible and most certainly will be.

It’ll not be us winning a trophy, breaking the world transfer record or building the worlds best new stadium that will finish this lot off. It’ll be the explosion of Durham Mags which will tip these sad cunts over the edge.

Aye, he was in denial for over a year that they we’re actually in for us the manc supporting cunt.
