On a positive note I do agree with what Carver is saying about the young players. Sometimes a "crisis" like this creates the space for a young player to step up.

 

recall LuaLua?

If you haven't played in the premier league before you can't possibly be a good player.

We shouldn't have signed anyone without PL experience then?

What will it take for certain posters to realise how precarious a position the football club are in - two heavy defeats to Arsenal and Sunderland? End of the transfer window with Enrique, Barton and Tiote gone with no replacements or any sign of that elusive striker? Derek Llambias bumming Lady Mae on the pitch at St James' at half-time?

I think some should keep in mind that had we won 3 extra points last season, we'd have made 3million more due to league position.

 

So unless you really think not having players like Nolan/Barton/Nzog will have any negative effect on our league position first team or otherwise, it doesnt make much sense financially to not keep (or go for in nzogs case) one of them.

Roll your eyes all you like, you can't make any comment on the likelihood of it whatsoever.

Oh ffs...  :facepalm:

NUFC fans unite over Joey Barton transfer

 

by Robert Weatherall, Evening Chronicle

Aug 3 2011

 

TOON fans have come together to express their anger at the transfer listing of star midfielder Joey Barton.

 

The controversial star was effectively told to find a new club after posting a number of critical remarks about the club’s hierarchy on social networking site Twitter.

 

But supporters’ groups, angry at the loss of one of the Toon’s players of last season, are hoping the latest blow to hit the club will bring together fans from different groups to create one voice.

 

Life-long Toon supporter Steve Wraith is one of those hoping to establish a body which will act as an umbrella group for all the differing supporters’ clubs and organisations which have one thing in common – their passion for Newcastle United.

 

Steve, along with a handful of other prominent supporters, has set up a group called NUFCfansunited.com to speak for the different groups.

 

He said: “We have been working on this idea for about 12 months now, but the situation with Barton has prompted us to act now.

 

“Following the game against Arsenal, we want to hold an open meeting in which representatives from any of the fans groups out there can come along and talk about what they would like to see from the club and the board.

 

“It could just be a get-together where we chew the fat, or it could be the start of something where the club starts to communicate with the fans and we open up a dialogue with them.

 

“We won’t know until we try.”

 

 

Steve admits the likelihood of club bosses engaging with fans representatives and acting on their opinion is remote, but he hopes that by setting up the group now it will set the fans in good stead for future generations.

 

He said: “We will compile a list of all the points the different fans groups make and send them off to the board.

 

“We’d love it if we were to be invited along to sit down with Derek Llambias and discuss the concerns everyone has about where the club is heading.

 

“But we know that’s unlikely. What could come from this is that if the club eventually changes hands we will have a body set up which could hopefully act as a point of contact between the fans and a new owner which would hopefully be more open to dialogue.”

 

Steve admits that there are a large number of fanzines and supporters groups out there which all share different opinions, and he hopes that representatives from each group will work together for the common good.

 

He said: “We want people to leave their egos when they come to this meeting.

 

“The name of the group says what we are trying to achieve.

 

“We want all the differing supporters groups to be united.

 

“There have been protests and marches on the ground in the past and they grab headlines but don’t achieve anything.

 

“We’re hoping for something a bit more constructive.”

 

Details of the meeting will be posted on www.nufcfansunited.com.

 

Barton last night returned to Twitter to say that the club had fined him two weeks’ wages over the affair.

 

He said that he would be appealing against the punishment.

Enrique was always speculated to be off though.

 

And since the start of the window when it came out that Newcastle wouldn't offer Barton a new contract, you could say the same.

 

So i just don't see how Tiote is now 'gone' because Barton's been put on the transfer list.

Stopped reading when i got to "Life-long Toon supporter Steve Wraith"

 

Him calling Barton "kidda" on twitter was bad enough, its at the point now where Barton cannot even sit down for fear of snapping Wraith in half.
