Disco Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Can't fucking stand patronizing remarks like this mind: Aye it's not like this has been the only serious bidder in 13 years, the lack of knowledge on the inner machinations of the club is so poor They’ve all been at it. They’re delighted but can’t help but get a sly dig in too because at the end of the day Newcastle as a city and a club mattters not a jot to them or their existence.

gdm Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Honestly don’t know where people are coming from. Caulkin is a reporter and was reporting essentially what staveley was telling him. The PL were saying nothing. Not sure what people wanted him to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 That Caulkin piece with Staveley is absolute rubbish mind, his reputation has taken a battering for me through this all saga Agreed. Disagree . His reputation is unchanged, other than it being revealed that having one contact is not enough to really know what's happening. Same with golfmag... genuinely believe he was telling the truth, difference is he isnt a journalist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 After all that has happened, pages and pages of Caulkin bashing seem very strange, or are we just lashing out at anyone and anything at the moment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Caulkin's been exemplary. There are times when people seem to confuse what he's saying he's been told with his own opinion. Interestingly (and apologies if this has been covered elsewhere on the thread) he's said on The Athletic's pod that when the exclusivity ran out Ashley DID ask for money and the consortium agreed to it.

Armchair Pundit Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I always find it amusing how no matter what people do to try and raise the profile or protest there's always those who rubbish the ideas but offer nothing realistic that the average fan can do as an alternative. Anything is better than sitting on your hands and just moaning about it surely?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Chi has wrote a letter to Masters, criticising him for the length of time it took to make a decision and accusing him of leaving the club at a disadvantage. Also saying that the area has missed out on vital investment. Great stuff! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Don't know what people want from Caulkin like, going on like he should have a crystal ball. I dunno, checking out his sources would do for a start. Facts can change, new evidence can come to light, what is true one day might not be true the next. keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

Kanji Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Any journalist out there who says shit like "the club will always attract interest" can go jump off a cliff. We've been effectively up for sale for an eternity with an owner who bled the club dry, had an insanely high asking price and constantly played games in his efforts to sell in earnest. We finally had a real and willing buyer who even agreed to pay his "retrade" price once exclusivity ended and the league blocked fresh, hungry capital into the club and region.

Sean Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Caulkin's been exemplary. There are times when people seem to confuse what he's saying he's been told with his own opinion. Interestingly (and apologies if this has been covered elsewhere on the thread) he's said on The Athletic's pod that when the exclusivity ran out Ashley DID ask for money and the consortium agreed to it. He's repeatedly stated he believes his source, that he thought the takeover was happening months ago, and alluded to that shite "cans" craic constantly. He fell for it completely.

No Saudi is good news for them, and their opinions. Newcastle fans being stuck with Capt Bluejeans for the next 13 years is not news for them and won’t affect their opinions. It’s just a bit snide.
