Can we bring the diamond back

Ryder thinks he's staying as a coach permanently https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-graeme-jones-england-20908923 (from June) Newcastle United coach Graeme Jones could be in for another boost after news emerged that Gareth Southgate could see his contract extended. The former Luton Town manager was selected by Southgate to work with him and senior coach Steve Holland at the European Championships this summer. News from the England camp emerged today that Southgate will stay in charge no matter what the result is against Germany at Wembley meaning he and Jones are likely to be in the dugout for the next batch of World Cup qualifiers in early autumn. ... but that might be him jumping the gun assuming the role wasn't a temporary one like planned

Here's where the money went (as of July 2020)

Dowden was a mixture of diplomacy and disappointment about the Premier League’s slow process in deciding whether the Saudi takeover of Newcastle should go through. “The Premier League had its fit and proper persons test and they’re going through that. I want them to get on with it. They need to do it quickly and transparently. They should have done it quicker, yes.” Just a fleeting mention but it's nice for acknowledgement

He means Luis Diaz as in the Porto winger, but point stands

What's there to say

We broke all our rules to pay via installments, glad to know nobody else does that (breaking rules when standard is installments)

Kaveh claims it's in pounds, either way big money. Man City were offering around 15 million per year rather than 25

Works out at 480k per week (euros)

That's nice...

Ronaldo's private jet left Turin earlier for Lisbon

Greatest window of all time, Man Utd in for him

Confirmed

City dead?

We let him go at 21 having had 2 great seasons in League 1. Of course he wasn't ready for the PL, the two amazing Championship seasons I couldn't have guessed either

Certainly, we defended much, much better against Burnley – that has to be a given if we’re going to get anything out of the Premier League,” he said. “I don’t think Burnley had a shot at our goal the other night – the goalkeeper didn’t make a save. That was really, really pleasing and something that we have to address to make sure we’ve got a chance in the Premier League. We can’t keep conceding the way we have done, so it was good to keep a clean sheet the other night. “It’s probably the worst way to go out, on penalties. There’s a huge disappointment amongst (the players), as you would expect. For me they didn’t deserve it, they should have went through in 90 minutes, but it didn’t happen and we lost the lottery of a penalty shoot-out. “We have to accept it, but the great thing about football is there is another game tomorrow. Let’s hope we can erase it by trying to get a result tomorrow.” (Saint-Maximin) had a kick on the top of his foot, and it looks a little bit sore, but we expect him to be OK,” said Bruce. “We’re all OK. We’ve got the same problem with the goalkeepers, but we’ve got Dummett in and around it. “It’s touch and go for Isaac Hayden, but everybody else seems to be OK. He trained a bit yesterday, but considering he was out for a good period of time last year with a knee injury, we’ll have another look at him today and see what we think.” “Southampton play in a certain way and it’ll be a decent game against them, that’s for sure,” he said. “I expect a tough game, like they all are, and it’s important that we get a result. “We’ve got an international break coming up and we’d love to get some points on the board. We’ve only played two league games, so it’s still very, very early. “We’ve had some positive things to come out of those two league games, (but) haven’t got the result which at the end of the day is what everybody needs. It would be nice to get a result before the break.”
