"Wonga produced three designs for two large flags which will be located at the Gallowgate End, which were voted on by Forum members. They are set to be revealed at the Sunderland fixture." - these better not be the largescale shite-y flags that you see ballboys holding at Arsenal/Chelsea/etc. on the touchline in a faux bid to seem atmospheric.

But we all love the Bundesliga...

 

They will be what you've just described though, yes.

Some absolutely horrible answers in there. I'm guessing followups weren't allowed, most of the time the question wasn't even close to being answered. And fucking not wanting to jeopardize our spot in the league, we're fucking 8th right now, relegation isn't happening, this is the perfect time to go for the cups. Stupid cunts.

The board said that we utilise the cup competitions to secure match experience for the wider squad.

 

Wider squad? We didn't see the wider squad, we went full strenth pretty much and still got fucked. Feel robbed of seeing the 'wider squad' now.

The signage thing is disgraceful, denying the club income no matter how small in order to benefit the owner's other (main) interest.

 

 

It's incredible that they neglect to mention that this space used to always be filled with advertising for other companies, as if this has just stopped and conveniently enough this space now acts as another SD showcase.  They're lying arseholes.

Another interesting point is in regards to how we only want to recruit players from the local area @ U16 level and below.

 

Is this the clubs covert way of informing us we failed to reach a CAT 1 academy? I just find it hard to believe we would want to willingly put ourselves at a disadvantage

We already knew they failed(or would have anyway), it was in the media at the time and they are spending a fortune upgrading the whole training facilities as a result.

Not just SD.com either...

 

"AMc asked if Firetrap, which advertises on LED boards, receives its advertising exposure as part of Sports Direct. It was confirmed that it is part of the same group."

 

It's any of his fucking guff.

From the minutes above:

 

SH: "Did the club's Academy achieve the highest category status?

The board confirmed that a further update will be made available in due course.

 

I guess they never got CAT 1 status otherwise they would have said so.

Monday 6th January 2014 - Joe Harvey Suite, St. James' Park

AMc: "Does the club plan to continue the ban on NCJ Media?" AMc also noted his disagreement with the decision.

The club confirmed the ban is indefinite. It was explained that the key issue was not that a protest march had been reported on, but that it had been afforded an unacceptably disproportionate level of coverage which was neither fair nor balanced. It was explained that negative coverage will not be an issue for the club providing it stays within the letter of the law.

What does that utter bullshite mean?  What laws have the Chronicle broken?  Lying bastards.

I read that as referring to negative coverage since the ban and how they will react to that going forward.

They'll have a huge fucking Wonga logo on them, you can bet that much.

CF: "What is the club's ambition in relation to its fans? It was made clear that the Premier League is the most important but we have to be careful what message the club sells to the fans. People are becoming disenchanted that club isn't focussing on silverware."

The board explained that NUFC had played 14 extra games due to Europa League last season, culminating in a quarter final but ultimately adversely affecting the club's league campaign. While several other clubs had recently suffered relegation after winning a domestic cup, NUFC still put out a strong team against Cardiff City which was capable of progressing into the next round of the FA Cup.

 

CF: "If current form continues and the club qualifies for Europe, would the club learn the lessons and strengthen?"

The board reiterated that the squad is stronger than last year. Given that the Europa League can be a drain for clubs for very little financial reward, the club believes the structure of the competition needs to be reassessed.

 

Horrible unambitious cunts.

I'm grateful that they have the club on a sound and stable financial footing, but it needn't have been at the cost of having absolutely no footballing ambition, and - because of that - they shouldn't even be connected to the sport, never mind Newcastle.

Just a big fuck off really? Can't belive these people actually are part of our club, and also managing it.

 

The grass isn't aways greener, but it surely has to be a cold day in hell to get something worse than these horrible cunts.

 

Dreaming of an Ashley free club.
