of course they try to destabilize us. all our targets ended up at our PL rivals for CL places, all of them. one of our rivals want Isak too. last thing they want is Newcastle to stand up for themselves and build on the success of Carabao win and CL place. if we can become a regular CL side meaning we finish top4/top5 most seasons will mean somebody has too miss out on each year out of City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs, if they can keep us and Villa out with PSR then 5 of them will always be in top5 as long as they dont mess up their season as they did last season Spurs and Man Utd but even then one of them got the jolly joker EL win and route to CL. now in some years 5th may not be a CL place, so its really top4 that is a target, and Masters already has 6 teams for 4 spots, they dont want Newcastle and Villa getting it regularly. I bet they even hate it that we got it last time or this time and Villa got it last year, but this happening regularly is something like a nightmare for them. the club got themselves in last time into top4 regularly from the outside which they didnt like was City and they find themselves with 115 charges (imo fake charges, City will win their case soon) because they had no better ideas how to stop them and surely they were not interested being bullied into selling their best players to rivals, something that Villa would struggle big time imo currently and even us has this shit Isak saga to deal with now all to weaken and destabilize us.

I already see he is coming down the stairs of the plane back in England on Monday from the Asia tour, asks Tindall to take care of his bags because he has a journey to make and one hour later he is staring down Yasir at a golf club from behind a bush.

Saudi clubs really need to stop buying from our rivals. or if they do offer sick high salary, but shit low fees. Offer Darwin Nunez 2m pounds per week tax fee, but only 15m transfer fee, let him make the hard work of making Liverpool accept by not training, going back to Benfica to train separately lol. I had enough seeing these deals of Saudi club happy to pay much more for flops at our rivals they wouldnt even get half if the buyer is another cub in Europe. this gives them incredible PSR help to sell big flop.

I think next week everything will speed up. this Asia tour is bit of a shit, we lose every game, everyone far away, but next week everyone is back, Howe and Tindall will knock on the door of Yasir or will find him out on some golf pitch if needed, and things will speed up. hopefully new CEO also comes in during August, and Howe will give him the recent history and makes sure what are the priorities and most urgent things to sort. new season is extremely close, two weeks left, if we want two more players in by the star then negotiation needs to pushed all next week to leave time for paperwork, medical etc. not an ideal summer at all but still not over, and we can improve the squad which it needs big time. time to act now. would love if we can get in Wissa and Guehi, and then sort out Isak's head, and get a new contract to Livramento and a good midfielder would be nice. McAtee for 30m a good option to look at, and easily available and as a young English player I am sure Eddie could improve him a lot.

I really hope our new CEO will have his hand on the pulse closely on this whole FFP/PSR farce and once there is an outcome hopefully soon on the APT hearing City vs PL, where I find it impossible that it can go against City saying the current APT rules are null and void we need to go in and get some serious sponsorships from Saudi approved immediately. new CEO has to bring PIF into this conversation, and feed all the dirt from the APT case that we could see inn earlier case how the APT rules were changes by other clubs when we were taken over, what email went on between the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd to vote through new restrictions just in fear what Newcastle may or may not gonna do. what was made very clear the whole APT system was a joke, PL board deciding on deals themselves, approving and not approving deals without any proper consideration, basically on the level oh you are not as big as Liverpool so you cannot get a sponsorship even half as high as them. disgusting... you dont fucking dictate to huge companies with 10 or 100x more revenue than the 20 PL clubs overall evenue put together that whats the right amount to sponsor a club that you think will bring eough exposure for you. its like Sportsdirect telling Adidas what deals he can do with JD sports. fuck off.

next time they bid we should send an automated email back that this is a no reply inbox, please dont send messages to this. if you have any enquiries try: [email protected]

as the date of first training back in England (Tuesday next week possibly) getting closer Isak and his agent asked Liverpool to make the first bid I am sure of that. I expect next bid on Monday or even earlier. But that means Isak really has to turn up on Tuesday because if he doesnt he is just burning even more bridges.

this vacuum create by Amanda leaving, Eales on medical issues, Mitchell fucking off without any help provided by him in his time (waste of a 12 month really his time at the club), we see the resut of all this imo. all of them need replacements, and very hard to replace Amanda who was kind of power broker at the start d stayed on as some advisor with direct influence on owners and Eales never had that sort of influence imo, and certainly no inlfuence at all once he had to go on medical leave. the new CEO hopefully is a tough bastard that can and ready to go front of owners and explain and talk them into various big signings which I think Amanda was able to do. terms of overall project, a league title is far away currently. PSR is a killer for us, and we punched above our weight imo, under weight I mean our transfer spend, squad value and salary bill. if there is a big unexpected drop like Spurs going from 5th to 16th or Man United goes from their worst season of 8th finish to 15th finish we need to be there and make ourseves benefit from that, but sadly thats not the norm. the norm is that top6 places are taken by Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd, Spurs. this is a norm. if their managers deliver to minimum expected from them they should finish top6. the fact we managed top6 two times and Villa one time recently is huge and comes on the back of great work from Howe and Emery also good recruitment. but both Villa and us are years behind in what we can spend on player transfers and salaries, much tied to the yearly revenue which need regular CL participation and big sponsors arriving every 6 months. now they realised Newcastle could be a danger for them so they come for our players and this is the acid test. its Isak now, it will not help to finish on CL place next season meaning it could be Guimares, Hall, Livramento next season they put in a bid offering them higher salaries and trophies to win.
-
wont be nice what I say, but first time in my life I will go into a game vs Liverpool in 3 weeks time thinking I dont mind if we leave one of their players injured. not proud of thinking it , but thats wht I feel right now. a fucking big reducer on Salah early on followed by another on the smug face of McAllister. then Burns elbowing van Dijk at a corner accidentally, the ones van Dijk gets away with every other game since years you know.
-
well I bet Everton, Chelsea, Forest, City, Villa and us are on some kind one side of votes now. we need only one more to stop any bullshit voted in. albeit do recall something was voted because some clubs didnt vote and then it was enough if less than 14 votes yes because they took the ratio of yes's of the number that voted yes/no not counting the ones didnt vote. obv its hard to vote in something we want unless there are 8-9 more clubs vote with us but the red cartel and Spurs are 4 clubs already not interested in that. an imo neither of other USA owned clubs we can get help from. even the likes of Brighton are happy to finish between 8/12th each year with no ambition for higher as long as top clubs buy their players for high fees. and then they sadly end up with the mindset of being ok with mid table in return not to threaten red cartel but also not having any lower half side jump up ahead of him by overspending... bullshit how the likes of Palace, Fulham, WHU, Brentford etc all very happy with PSR due to them having zero ambition. and sadly fucker fat Ashley at the time also voted for it as he had of course had no ambition at all to see us much higher. but imo something need to change soon as this regime is a fucking joke. it either needs to be matched up with the Uefa FFP which is more serious/strict, doesnt allow these loopholes we see, or loosen it very much as the 105m loss in 3 years is just outdated at this point when transfer fees inflated big time to 5/6 years ago. to have a PSR you can drive through a huge loophole and still meet criteria is nonsense. I liked when there was a vote of this clubs finally voted against (intra group transfer of hotels, woman teams etc). clubs wanted to have this possibilty for themselves finally after Chelsea's went through the checks. would have been awful to allow it Chelsea escape serious punishment but then close the loophole straightaway for others.

so we play last game in Asia tour 12.00 Sunday UK time. we go back to hotel after, get our bags and stuff, and probably get on a plane back to England Sunday evening. long flight, land in England about Monday morning. pretty sure day off for players jetlag and all that. but would expect some light training Tuesday afternoon. thats the moment of truth as if Isak is still at Sociedad gym on Tuesday afternoon thats a big sign imo. will be an uncomfortable meeting imo, eye to eye Isak vs Howe, Isak vs Tindall. also players would ask him whats this all about. pretty sure he didnt want to face these moments thats why he is not on tour with us. he could do gym work in Asia too under supervision from our staff. if he still does not join the squad and pre season trainings on Tuesday next week that will be a clear indication, and at that moment I would suspend his salary too otherwise other players get the feeling they can go to sunny country and do the pre season on their own too and turn up when they want.
-
at the next CEO meeting in PL I hope we fucking have a new CEO ready and will stand up for this mess that is PSR currently. loopholes of hotel sales, women team sales etc., some clubs can spend like there is no tomorrow, some others are fucking limited on fees/salaries. Masters need to go too. PIF should do a favour and hire him to some shit high paid admin role for Saudi league just so we get rid of him from here.
-
dont see this happening. really has the feeling he is twerking for Man Utd as they surely can offer way higher salary. if that doesnt happen they become interested in Newcastle. I dont like that.
-
well one month left of the transfer window. probably everyone expected we will be bit more ahead at this point than Elanga + Ramsdale on loan, Howe especially. we need some positive lift, players too that makes them think this season will be huge and not one where we regressing due to recruitment or lack of it. problem now is until we kow the outcome of Isak saga its two different versions running, are we strengthening same side as we had or are stuck in replacing Isak as well. itss clear Isak wants to jump ship and go to horrible Liverpool, but not 100% sure they pay up enough this summer. how sick to break league record with Wirtz transfer and then break it again weeks later for Isak. imagine Newcastle would now spend 130 for someone, then 150m for another one. whole media would be up in arms about us killing football. these articles simply not written when Liverpool is doing this...
-
if all these shady thing about his agent are true, I bet he would expect a large fucking sum as agent fee in this transfer. something like 10% of the total fee easily. I am sure we had to hand over a few millions to him when we got him from Sociedad too and that was based on a 60m transfer not a 150m one. so a 15m agent fee is the minimum imo Liverpool can expect on top of any fee Newcastle want.
-
we have to set a deadline for Liverpool. either close the transfer before their Community shield match on the 10th of August or forget it. cant see how it benefits us to have this linger on and not knowing it will happen or not even after round 2 in PL. will be quite a feisty feeling at St James Park in 2nd round Newcastle v Liverpool game lol on the 25th if August.
-
isnt he ill with cancer? least of his worries will be what goes on at Newcastle. bloody hell...
-
all stems from CEO issues. Eales is ill, he doesnt care about Newcastle, rightly so. so whoever the CEO reports to (owners) is at fault sadly. a CEO with serious responsibility would have not let Mitchell do fuck all then resign right when most help was needed from him.
-
does anyone have the same feeling that Saudi clubs have a big pre agreement with Liverpool on Salah for next summer for incredible fee? he will be 34 yo, year left on his contract, imagine PIF paying 80m for them next summer. if they ok to pay 40m for Joao Felix on a 24 month contract only, they would be happy for a Muslim superstar for much more even at older age. PSR jackpot if they get anything above 50m for him next summer and Saudis might paying way above that. didnt they pay 20m for Jordan Henderson at age 34? Salah is levels above that and has not aged that badly either so far, he was just player of the year recently.
-
people that are ok with him training at Sociedad instead of being on tour and maybe doing separate training with his supposed injury, what do you think is it OK if he continues to train at Sociedad from Monday/Tuesday next week when Howe and squad will be back in Newcastle continuing pre-season training.
-
hope over in Korea they working hard to get a noodle sponsor...
-
I also want to see Joelinton and Guimaraes giving him a serious reducer if he turns out against us in that ugly red shirt. I dont think they will have the balls to play him in 2nd round vs us in case they get it done until. ut we would meet them later on or maybe in Carabao/FA cup too. imo they make bid on Friday to mess with our weekend but also because squad will fly back on Sunday evening imo. time for uncomfortable meeting with Howe/staff/squad early next week. even if he has some tiny injury the first team doctors need to properly check as it may all be big bullshit. what if he doesnt get his transfer until 29th of August, he will not train at all? surely not possible.
