LFEE Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Ryder blatantly tapping into the theme of that article from the other day in The Mag suggesting for financial reasons we don't buy before July 1st and the fans forum is on the 6th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The difference in the quality of article between Lee Ryder and Mark Douglas is embarrassing. Genuinely don't know how Ryder has a job. Got to agree there. I know we like to slag local journalists, but it's only the ones who clearly don't have any football acumen whatsoever. Douglas is decent IMO, but Ryder just reads like he's still in primary school. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I swear he's on the windup. Every tweet is worded in a way that is provocative to the average fan. He must know what he's doing. He can't be THAT thick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I love how he even has time to respond to Twitter backlash, you'd think a journalist with such an apparently time-consuming and difficult job would be dedicating their day to their work, not going on Twitter and getting upset at people telling him what a brainless whelp he is.

ikri Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The difference in the quality of article between Lee Ryder and Mark Douglas is embarrassing. Genuinely don't know how Ryder has a job. I've just assumed for a while now that "Lee Ryder" is actually just the pen name of the automated programme that someone cobbled together as a cheap alternative to this that writes stories without requiring any human interaction. Associated Press already use something similar for finance and sports reporting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Chibas Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Using Douglas' article as a quick guide. That's 11-12m we have spent on transfer fees, during June, in eight years under Ashley. Most of that is made up of the combined outlay for Jonas & Cabaye. The rest have been loans & frees. Jonas & Cabaye we activated clauses. You could say that all these incomings have been bargain basement deals, starring a club which especially resists paying the going rate for good players prior to the close of the financial year. Those accounts need to look pretty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The difference in the quality of article between Lee Ryder and Mark Douglas is embarrassing. Genuinely don't know how Ryder has a job. Newcastle United have not received any offers from Turkish side Trabzonspor for Papiss Cisse. Reports in Turkey suggested that Cisse had been the subject of interest of the Süper Lig side, but there has been no contact so far this summer. The Chronicle understands that Cisse has been subject of interest from Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce in the past, but there have been no fresh approaches this summer. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-yet-receive-bid-9538501 Says the same thing in three sentences, ffs. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Are Ashley or Charnley every going to realise the simple equation of Investment + Ambition = happy fans (and more season tickets sold)? A decisive couple of weeks in the transfer market would be a start and people might just start snapping up the tickets/getting behind the whole "new era". Our completely sluggish approach this close season is making Ashley's final words of the season look as empty as ever and any pre-season momentum as a result of a new management team (at last) will surely be lost, if has not been already. Hardly giving the new coaches much time before a hard start to the season. That said, I appreciate they will want to look at what they have got but look at the facts - we have conceded more than most the last couple of season, created nothing and scored too few goals. Do the maths FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Problem is that the crowd situation has to get really bad for it to make a difference to the club. Season ticket signs are encouraging though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The problem is thateven if the stadium was empty every game it would be financially better for the club probably than spending 50m on players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
