et tu brute

I look at the many poor signings he made and the amount of goals conceded every season. He also went to Burnley and couldn’t handle it. As I said I don’t rate him at all and think he will be like a rabbit caught in the headlights up here. He may well be coming here now though.

Agree with your first two bits, but totally disagree with you last bit, I think he would be a disaster.

Also looks like the Plan B is Howe as according to reports, it was those two being interviewed at the weekend. I know some were trying to stick up for him earlier, personally I think he will be an absolute disaster.

Don’t want to say what the fuck is going on until we know for sure. But, if it is correct, then questions should be started to be asked. As I said in my previous post we will soon find out.

Seems very specific as to reasons mind. Got to say that for the first time today I think it might not happen. Hopefully not, but that sounds like Emery or someone close to him has given that information. Soon find out I suppose

It’s not the first time with the ‘no red flags’ escapade. Staveley (or whoever) should stop jumping the gun as if he doesn’t come (I still actually think he will), they’re going to come across as a little incompetent.

Do you think? Sounds to me he has decided and he's just awaiting for the official paper/legal work to be finalised. He's coming mate

The way he leaves open every eventuality totally demonstrates him as a journalist. He is livid because other NE journalists are getting leaks off the consortium and he is being left out as a result of basically trying to take the piss out of them and the fans during the takeover. Fuck him

I think they get get on, so wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he did.

Under Ashley I would know that would be the end of it, however these have practically money to burn

Aye I think it's in the bag, he's coming and his actual words just about confirms it. He's just being proper as he will know we will be in the process of making everything official

I think it's more telling the players comments after the game, if he wasn't going he would have told them - he didn't

Tbf he is one of the few who has said things as they are for a while now

Yep have to agree, Howe would fall under the same level as Martinez for me, no thanks, and it would be a gutter now if it wasn't Emery (still think it will be mind)

So I presume all the talk coming in now about Howe, is because people are shitting themselves for a change?

He's on a meltdown, whilst Crinkly Granny Janey has went deadly silent after days of posting she hopes it's Martinez or Howe. She usually does when there is positive news coming out of NUFC. Her hate for Benitez was something else when he was here.

Yeah of course they know, but to be fair they have a big game tonight so they have to play devil's advocate.

The best was when they were in for Wijnaldum and thought he was signing. Post after post about how brilliant he was and how he would push them up the league. Then three or four days later, when it emerged he was coming here, there was post after post of how he was overrated, wouldn't cope with the premiership etc. etc. That thread was definately gold.

£6 mil allegedly

Is there anything from the Spanish press confirming what's being reported over here?

It will be some fringe mackem lurking about

Has CH been updated, not received any notifcation it has apart from some papers relating to the 90s?

Great seeing one of the NUFC's 'fan in peace' coming out saying he's not convinced he's the right appointment

Aye don't want another 2020 takeover situation with the massive high and then the kick in the bollocks when it falls through . Don't think it will mind as if he wasn't keen he would have knocked it back already and money does talk.

There will be, I actually expect he will be, as his last swansong. Our fans love anything to put a negative stance on things, this after 14 years of Ashley though tbf.
