Mick Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Nobody is in charge. We've been told that the MD's responsibilities have been split. Ultimately Ashley is in charge more now than he was before and that's probably why they were all in France together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The same people lamenting Llambias' departure now are the same ones who were calling him worse than shit 6 months ago. If he was the answer I'm not sure what the question was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hope those bemoaning us being linked with a raft of strikers deemed not good enough and then celebrating them joining someone else enjoyed Mr. Shola Ameobi's performance this afternoon.

I hardly think anyone's lamenting his departure, just pointing out that companies worth hundreds of millions of pounds require somebody to run them.

We should accept whatever tripe the club try and serve up to us? I agree on some level it's pathetic what we've failed to buy and Bent would have been welcome in many respects, but when you're in a restaurant that's in a competition for michelin stars and they offer the choice of shit or a bowl of piss you have the right to tell them to fuck off and serve you some actual fucking food. Slight exaggeration in that Bent would at least be scoring us much needed goals, but we need a striker who can hold up the ball most and there are more than 2 strikers int eh world that seems news to Kinnear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was the answer I'm not sure what the question was. no I wasn't, if anything he was getting better at certain aspects, his media performance was miles better and last one I remember he didn't even say anything outrageous. Sure he was a cunt but so are a lot of people in charge of clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Obviously we were better off with Llambias in charge. That's not even open to question. That's not to say the bloke's not a complete cunt, because he is. Whatever claptrap JK comes out with he hasn't replaced Lambese, I think that is pretty clear. I have a feeling there is a power vacum right now with people scuttling around for purchase...MA seems to be quite disconnected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I thought Llambias was a terrible choice as CEO by Ashley and I blame him for a lot of the turmoil that we went through in the early dark times. I used to shudder every time he made any sort of comment in the press. I thought Ashley could do much better than Lambias. I've posted the words "be careful what you wish for" on here a few times, I need to heed my own advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 RE: Having a go at forum members... I'd bet 100% of them said what they said because they [wrongfully] believed the club was actively trying to bring in a quality striker or two. Nobody on this forum, or anywhere, would want Shola as out main striker. There's never even been a time. They're idiots either way then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I still don't see how not wanting to sign old players who you don't rate and will be difficult to shift when they have completely lost the last bit of ability they had equates to "yes please Mr Ashley sir, please let us be in a position where Shola and Jonas play 90 minutes every week, that would be awesome!". I definitely would have taken Bent but I'm much more pissed off we didn't sign Redmond than I am that we 'missed out' on Downing. He's looked class, cost about half the fee, will take up far less of our wage budget and is a long way off shit, old cunt who we are counting down the days till he fucks off. I think people have every right to turn their noses up at questionable signings because there are more than 2 players in the world but then I'm clearly an idiot.

Guest Brazilianbob Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It seems cleR to me at least, that Ashley has decided that the best value for money is on the January transfer window when we can pick up players whose contracts expire in the summer. So that will ne Gomis in January for £4m instead of £8m now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that will ne Gomis in January for £4m instead of £8m now. And this is the folly of Ashley at Newcastle. That for 4m he'd risk potential relegation or simply lose that money on the final league position by it signing a striker now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
