London has a massive pull on players decisions, not all players but it does have a big pull.  Hence why some Northern clubs have to payer a high a wage to attract players.

 

Bollocks. London clubs pay more seeing as it costs 2 grand a month to live in a shed, here.

 

 

 

Its well known Northern clubs have had to pay more to get bigger players.

 

Foreign players mostly, as they have more amenities available, don't think British players are as bothered.

 

I think plenty of British players are bothered, but I think it's more the ones who have never spent more than 10 minutes in Newcastle that just assume it's a barren wasteland full of dole monkeys and bh home bargains's's. Basically they think the North is just an array of Sunderlands.

 

I really don't agree, most Brits from other parts of the country see Newcastle as the premier northern city, the sunderlands and middlesbroughs are like the bogs and marshes on the way. Or maybe that's just my perception, I always thought we were a little bit special and everyone else saw us like Kevin Keegan did.

He did great when managing Málaga and Villarreal, but struggled at really big clubs like Madrid or City. I'm not sure what went wrong for him at City (although he did win stuff), but at Madrid he just couldn't handle the politics. He's very tactically-minded - he's not called "the engineer" for nowt - but I don't mean that as an euphemism for "defensive", his teams always had a fair bit of flair. Think of him as a less extreme, non-insane, version of Bielsa.

I mean, not to be harsh, but I think this is one of the reasons for the deluded geordie stereotype. I don't believe people who have spent little time up here think that Newcastle is special in any way. It's just a norvern town really far away from everything. Especially for those who were born in London.

Mike Ashley disagrees

Replies to that tweet, asking @Skysports_Keith to confirm it. 

 

Ryder will be spitting his dummy again.

[Deuce]

It’d be typical of Ashley to sell one of our best players for far less than what he’s worth.

??

I get the bit about Ashley selling anything if he gets the price he wants, but not about selling for less than something's worth. It's not one of his obvious traits.

This is why Rafa is special. Within a couple of hours of the story breaking, he lays down the gauntlet.

 

Now let's compare this behaviour to Pardew's...

 

"Every player's fo saWe, innit, we can never rule out outgoings, we're not Soufampton or a sovereign power..."

In fairness, Pardew did say similar about Carroll.... twice - the 2nd time just days before he was sold.

Sadly, if the right / high enough bid comes in, it doesn't matter what the manager says or wants, it what the owner does that matters.

 

Pardew though, did just fall into policy line after that, which Rafa clearly wont.

[nufc4eva]

If someone offered say 50 or 60 million I could see us taking it and Rafa may consider it if he thought that money could be used to improve us more than keeping him. If he got the money we received of course ?

[danny]

50-60mil i dont think any of us would be to upset, id hate to see him go but id also pull their arm of taking it 

[nufc4eva]

50-60mil i dont think any of us would be to upset, id hate to see him go but id also pull their arm of taking it 

Yip it would be excellent money. We shouldn't consider selling for under 40 given current market

[Shearergol]

We’d all be upset. Far more valuable than cash in the bank. Even £100m wouldn’t be worth it.

[nemtizz]

£20m

 

West Ham

[danny]

With him leaving not the money, didnt we only pay a mil or so for him and darlow

[Shearergol]

Why does the money matter? We don’t spend it anyway.

[Elliottman]

With him leaving not the money, didnt we only pay a mil or so for him and darlow

You're not taking the football factor into it, players know that this is a football city and that counts for something, that's why we have been able to attract big managers down the years IMO. If you want to talk about deluded Geordies you need to look at these guys who are thinking anyone's going to offer £50-60m or make that £100m in the posts before this one.

Apart from nobody said that. I said he’s worth more to us on the pitch than any amount in the bank. But you knew that.
