I just wouldnt want us to build a platform then piss it up the wall with 20 or so new players who are the polar opposite to what we are trying to do, thats the point i’m trying to make.

You couldnt ever say you dont want to be promoted but this squad does need a few more years, Alot of the squad are playing their first proper season of either consistent football or Championship. Would take the promotion and coming back down if it meant banking the 100+M and we didnt break away from the model and do a Nottingham Forest for example of spunking shit loads on 20 new players.

Aye next Sunday, shite kick off time at 12PM though so the atmosphere will probably be dilated. I fancy us on our day to beat anyone but we are abit young, naive and inconsistent to produce it every week, They are flying so should be a canny game. I was at the away game and they were nowt special but look miles better under Carrick.

It was canny for 20 minutes until the sending off

Plenty photos can be taken in isolation, Thats about 5 or 10 minutes before kick off. Looked canny yesterday as the players came out with a cracking crowd, first time the lower bowl has been completely full for a few weeks.

I’m not sure 30 or so idiots in a 40,000 crowd is a fair metric to judge the fanbase to be honest. It’ll be the same 30 week in, week out until they either get knicked, belted or both.

It’s just some knacker who unfortunatley has a mouth on the internet, the majority of our fans are good folk like your own.

I’m not sure how anyone can be arsed, If you win happy days go and have a pint, If you get beat get me home. Standing around looking for bother, then probably run away anyway, embarrasing every single one of them.

That Danjuma is a cracking player, Wonder where he’s heading.

There does always seems to be bother after every home game. I walk to my car which is past where the away coaches park and its the same set of bellends every week who stand about looking for bother. I say looking for bother, its a group of about 30 idiots who are between 14-17 and its about time they actually got a kicking for going on like dicks, its a miracle it hasnt happened already and the Police / club really need to get a grip on things before something serious happens. As for today, fuck me the referees in this league are as bad as L1, The only thing he got right was coincidentally the red card.

You can have your opinion, I’ll have mine.

Whilst I can't argue at the fact he gave us our longest unbroken top flight run since the 50's, the majority of it was scraping relegation, survival and misery. Short bought the club from Quinns consortium who managed to get us back into the Premiership and had Keane as manager which seemed the perfect fit. Short seemed to just chuck money at it in the hope something worked, He continiously made bad decisions by appointing wrong people in the boardroom and wrong key decision makers which ultimatley resulted in bad players on huge wages. Whilst Short wiped the debt from the club it was his doing so that created the mess in the first place, He also wiped it because nobody would have touched it with a bargepole, Hence why it was flogged to two dell-boys with the clubs own parachute money who looked to flip it for a quick profit. Short left the club to rot by the end, He gave up on almost everything to the point we had no scouting system, youth coaches had left and gone elsewhere, He asked Martin Bain to asset strip anything for money once we were relegated from the Premiership. I'm sure we didn't even have a club doctor for half a season at one point in the Championship. The funds and squad he left Grayson with for the Championship season was nothing short of a disgrace, He made no attempt to salvage the club from Championship relegation in the January window either and we ultimatley went down. He didn't even bother to ring Chris Coleman to welcome him as the manager and never spoke to him once during his reign. His intentions started off well, He was then out of his depth, badly advised and ultimatley threw the towel in with little respect or dignity in trying to salvage the club as it snowballed into obscurity. I get he wiped the debt, but he was left with little to no choice really, it was either that or see the entire club go bust completely.

and I have absolutely no issue with that whatsoever.

Why should you be allowed to come out with absolute rubbish and me not defend it? Is it some form of hierachy because you have been here longer? You made out the fans harshly hounded out 7 managers in 6 years, I responded with my justification of why they were sacked and you then agreed with the justification of the sackings to another poster, Which is why I said “Are you on glue” - I.E. How can you accuse us of hounding managers out then agree with the reasons why they were sacked. You said Short piled money in and then when the club had to stand on its own two feet he stopped the cash. He was the sole reason the club was in masses and masses of debt, nobody else. Ellis Short was not a good owner and I will debate and defend that until I’m blue in the face. You then went on some bizzare angle about Sunderland fans not wanting to buy tickets which is part of the problem You then alluded to managers being sacked and given outright abuse, I still have no idea who you are referring to here or if that was about Sunderland or Newcastle. I’m allowed my opinion on my own football club, You self labelling stuff as ‘hard facts about his club’ doesn’t make what you say true.

Na, You directly have been the issue by posting a load of rubbish which I responded to if the truth was known. Some of your fellow mates even alluded to it within the thread if you read back.

Where has it been openly encouraged?

I didnt compare this to the SMB

The board has close to 3,000 members, You are obviously going to get absolute weapons in them numbers. Imagine grouping 3000 Newcastle fans together and giving them all a keyboard and a computer to hide behind, There would be a minority of absolute arseclarts too.

I had an account years ago before deactivating and now just read and dont post anymore as the majority of threads are ruined by idiots. Typically use 606 and a few various other general football ones which are quite good.

Not broken at all, I have gave responses to anything that’s been asked.

Well I don’t understand it really, Why are people bothered about recorded attendances? It has no bearing on anything whatsoever. The support for the club is fantastic and is only deemed anything other than that by Newcastle supporters and maybe a few from the likes of Boro, Leeds and co. You will have Newcastle fans going on about our support yet won’t even go to your own games (The same applies both ways by the way) - I just never understand why people are arsed.

Why do you care?

Probably not, I think they automatically count full season ticket sales for every game + individual game by game tickets sold. Numerous ST holders wont be at every game but will be accounted for in each home game. Not really sure why people care about this sort of shite either, our support is fantastic regardless of what many Newcastle fans will say for where the club has been.

No problem, will do.
