mattypnufc Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/09/06/revealed-your-questions-to-nufc-s-board-72703-29371059/ Your questions to NUFC's board 1. Where's the money that was pledged to be reinvested in the squad after the sale of Andy Carroll gone? 2. Why is there such a lack of communication with the fans from Mike Ashley and his board? 3. In 2009 you outlined your plans for the club at a fans forum. Can you give us an update on how you see our position now against that plan and if it has changed? What is the long-term plan for Newcastle United? 4. Can you justify why it took seven months to pursue a striker before failing at the eleventh hour to secure a signing? 5. Public opinion on Tyneside from large sections of fans is that they no longer trust statements coming out of the club after several empty promises. What assurances can you give fans that they can believe what the club tells them? 6. Given that level 7 was deserted in some parts at the Fulham game, is there any reason why those who want to sing can't all be sat together rather than upsetting fans who don't want to sing, which appears to be the problem in the Strawberry corner? What has caused the club to fundamentally change its stance to standing in the stadium? 7. Many fans clamoured for a marquee signing on the striker front. Are those days gone and can we expect more continental-based players coming in in January, if any? 8. Are you concerned about the 10,000 drop in attendance and that fans are either not renewing season tickets or have headed to support local non-league teams instead? 9. Is Ashley considering putting the club up for sale? 10. Newcastle United has the third highest attendances in the country, Sky TV and income from merchandising, plus a lower debt position than many in the EPL. Why in terms of player recruitment can Newcastle not compete with smaller clubs like Stoke, Fulham and QPR? 11. Are you aware of fans' disgruntlement with the away ticketing policy given the Toon Army are amongst the loyallest fans in the UK, and will you consider reviewing the policy? 12. Alan Pardew said he was 100% convinced he would get a new number 9. What changed? 13. Why was Joey Barton allowed to leave for free and join a club that could be considered to be a rival in the Premier League? 14. Many fans now consider us to be a "selling club" after the departures of Nolan, Enrique, Carroll and Barton. How do you respond to this?

Also apologies for starting a new thread, but none (other than the Pardew/Transfer thread) seemed relevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Number 6 is utter bollocks like but they wont be answered anyway so what does it matter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Response prediction: Bland waffle, dodging of questions, patronising garbage, flawed maths and bare faced lies. Straight answer count: Zero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 A few decent ones in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Aye, like many of you have said...decent questions...none of which will get answered sadly. Someone pointed out the wording is a tad strange in a few...leaves them open to non-answers too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest je85 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Question 15. How many of the above have you answered truthfully? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Missed the article asking for the questions, did it give any indication of how the questions would be put to them or if they'd agreed to answer them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Would have liked a question about the SD.com branding all over the ground, and if stadium naming rights were still 'on sale'. Saw questions about it asked by quite a few people on the Chronicle site, so thought it would have made the 'shortlist'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I think many on this forum have a good idea of how the club will answer the questions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Very good questions. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Does anyone know when the answers will be given? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Aye, like many of you have said...decent questions...none of which will get answered sadly. Someone pointed out the wording is a tad strange in a few...leaves them open to non-answers too. I think they've imalgamated the questions provided in places so the end result being they are a little more open to interpretation... Just going off the 10 I sent in I can see they are trying to cover all the main bases... Hope they don't readily accept the bland responses that many are predicting... I do sense a mood change of late with the local press... The journalists seem to have their finger a little more on the pulse with the general mood... Probably down to Twitter and greater forum trolling... Could never see Gibson or Oliver being the sharpest on the technological front... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rainforest Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Question 15. How many of the above have you answered truthfully? Question 16. Stop bullshitting you cunt how many? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I don't get it. How're these getting to the club and how are the answers supposed to be given? Someone from the club's gonna email the paper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
