AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I don't think NUFC should be banning journos or making statements about media shite at all, but technically they were correct. The Telegraph were definitely stirring it with the angle and headline they chose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 How's that? It's completely correct, and I assume they intend to prove so was the only part the club could dispute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgarve Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The information is correct. The way it is written making it seem like we will never play in Europe again is a bit ridiculous and assuming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 On Wednesday November 26, The Telegraph's North-East football reporter Luke Edwards contacted Uefa with specific questions regarding the situation should Newcastle and Rangers both qualify for Europe in the future with Ashley, who is Newcastle's owner and holds a 9% stake in Rangers, still involved at both clubs. Uefa responded in writing in a statement which pointed us towards their regulations related to multi-ownership cases. Boom there goes the only thing the club could pssoibly claim the Telegraph were lying about, seeing as everything else was completely factual as per the UEFA rules. After seven years under Ashley the club's PR department can sometimes still surprise me by their complete ineptitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think the club means that no decision has actually been made with regards to Rangers and NUFC specifically. Which, although incredibly pedantic, is technically correct. As tgarve said basically. No doubt The Telegraph relished the opportunity to take the most extreme possible angle on this. Tough one for me, because I don't like the Telegraph any more than I like Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Probably fatal for me to contribute here, but the Telegraph did state that UEFA had already come to a conclusion on Ashley's situation (which they hadn't) and then tried to say that being sent the regulations (which was all that happened) was the same thing as being sent a decision. It's the sort of thing that most people and organisations in the public eye have to suffer in silence. The club should be doing the same, but it doesn't detract from the fact that the Telegraph have been a bit naughty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Regardless of who is right and wrong, the club's handling of this has been shambolic yet again. You expect a tabloid newspaper to be a bit childish/petty, but for a football club to release a statement entitled "Caught lying again (The Telegraph)" is hilariously unprofessional Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Sure, the club shouldn't respond to the media in the incredibly childish way they've chosen. On the other hand I can see why people feel frustrated by how they are treated by the press. Most people just swallow it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough one for me, because I don't like the Telegraph any more than I like Mike Ashley. What decision is there to be made? These are the rules. Same as when a player gets send off, you know he is suspended for the next game(s), or when you lose a cup game you are out of the competition.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Well presumably there needs to be a ruling, like for Financial Fair Play for example. It could be open to argument as to the extent of Ashley's involvement, it could exclude NUFC but not Rangers, or the other way round, or it could be subject to legal challenge. And possibly other things. The Telegraph just took a very strong line on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The way I read it the only thing that may be up for debate is whether Ashley's interest is above or below a (I believe not explicitly specified) threshold where he is deemed to have a controlling interest in Rangers. To be fair to the Telegraph, if they asked UEFA the question what would happen if Newcastle and Rangers both qualified for a UEFA competition, and their reply was to refer them to that section of their regulations than that at the very least very strongly implies where they sit on the issue on whether Ashley's interest in Rangers can be deemed as controlling or not. I don't trust the media at all, but I trust Mike Ashley a hell of a lot less yet. The nature of the club statement makes it all the more cringe-worthy. We're being run by a bunch of fucking pricks who will do anything to protect their own reputation whilst slowly destroying the club as a meaningful force in English football.
