Optimistic Nut Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Other things the tribunal cleared up are: * Keegan was never offered a chance to settle for £4m as reported in the press. * The club admitted at the tribunal that it intentionally misled the press, public and fans of Newcastle. * The clubs claim that Keegan used the Nacho incident as a convenient excuse to walk out was not true. Quoting this for everyone who has eaten up the official line today. - Andy Carroll put in a transfer request. Spin it, speculate all you like, that's the fact.

Mick Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Exactly. How come everyone is so eager to believe the official line in this story? Look at all the major things that have happened to this club over the past 3 years, look at the official line and tell me that it's been an accurate narrative of what actually transpired. Look at KK's firing. Look at the Milner s***. Look at Hughton's sacking. Look at Pardew's appointment. For f***'s sake, Golfmag had posted that it was planned for weeks in advance, yet the official line never mentioned it. Ashley might seem dumb but he's not. If Carroll hasn't handed in a transfer request then we'll find out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 How many times has the 'official line' been proven to be absolutely false, though? Ask yourself that, and then ask yourself how everyone involved in this whole transfer saga comes out smelling like roses to the people they want to smell like roses to, and surely you have to be somewhat suspicious. If you're not, like I said, you're incredibly naive. I'll ask again, why would Carroll go along with it? Or is that too naive of a question for you to answer? Money up front. Agent pressure.

Yes we probably could have done more, but the suggestion that the transfer request was anything other than Carroll having his head turned is madness. He ultimately made the decision to leave, not Ashley. Yeah, and we seriously considered appointing Martin Jol before settling on Pardew. I don't disagree that he wants and is probably happy to leave now. I disagree with the official sequence of events, and I disagree with the reason that people believe he handed in a transfer request.

Neil Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 In the heat of the moment i.e. now, it's unsurprising some people have instinctively gone for the Club's hierarchy, on the back of supposed past crimes, as the villains here and it may well transpire that they have played a decisive role in events. To me however, the overriding feeling would be one of betrayal and the main source of anger would be towards Carroll and his act of treachery. He has, it seems, turned his back on the club he consistently claimed he loved and wanted to stay at; a club he signed a long-term contract with in the very recent past. Coercion may have occurred but when you hear that the best thing to come out of NUFC in years has requested he wants to leave to a club who, despite being big in stature are low on current prestige, you can't get away from Carroll's role here. It is clear emotions will understandably be running high for the foreseeable future but I think he has let you down in a way few would have predicted. Call Ashley and his gang what you want (and I know it's hard to talk in truths as it stands but speculation is the only thing we can go on here) - but for me, the inescapable conclusion is this: 'AC9' has betrayed you.

Luc Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If i owned the club, i would have accepted that bid. Stupid money. Life will move on, it always does. Agreed. Would rather spend some time with 35M than with Andy Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Given the lack of abition that ashley shows, i thin carroll may have done the best thing. maybe even shearer advised him to join team dalglish He was showing ambition by refusing an offer that's well above what Carroll is really worth, so Carroll decides he'll leave because of lack of ambition? Its a contradiction mate, and just another way to try to defend the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
