Guest HTT II Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Took my boy to his footy training just while it was all being officially announced/ratified by the club/PL and during the warm up all the kids were saying how NUFC are now the richest club in the world and they were saying we should sign Mbappé or whoever the daft little cunts. They’ve obviously picked it up from their dads as my son did as I was litterally on cloud nine taking him to training, but that’s a buzz for NUFC I’ve never see amongst this group of 7 year olds in the 2 years they’ve been together and all the parents were buzzing too and actually wanted training cancelled so we could all be glued to SSN/N.O/Twitter or whatever or to actually go to the stadium as a few parents ended up doing after training taking their kids down. This is bigger for the future generation than any of us, again I grew up on the KK era, experienced the Sir Bobby years and that brief spell with Rafa, our kids are going to training in City kits, or Liverpool or whoever. I guarantee very soon, that will change. My boy knows my stance on NUFC/Ashley and he said does that mean we can now go to games, says it all! It reminds me when we were kids and went to school following KK returning as manager, which we got from our dads, most of us never having heard of him.

I can truly say I was absolutely wrong, after Carlo left which I was I was livid by he has installed a never give up attitude which we have lacked for sometime. However this is your day not me bleeting on about Everton. Good luck ... obviously with exceptional of playing us twice a year ? Give him back now, thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got taken over a number of years ago and o wouldn't say we have improved much since then. This is due to financial fair play, we have cash however unable to spend due to income on a global level. I hope Newcastle can spend wisely instead of going all guns blazing with a new manger and players like we did. All the best ... COYB I was a bit bitter when Man City were bought I'll admit, so that's good of you. Just happy to have rid of him first and foremost. Anything else is a bonus. And because of how it feels to have a club back, can only imagine enjoying the good and bad of that right now. The only consolation with Man City was that they're real fans and for the numbers of those they deserved it (rather than Chelsea/Blackburn) would like others to see it that way with us. Its been horrid under Ashley - not caring if you go down or get promoted is was ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 What is unreal to me is how we were arguably at are lowest point following the optimism of Rafa (plenty of low points to pick from the last 14 years) to what could now be the galvanization of this club in Football's elite. I can't remember who, but it was someone (might possibly be the Keegan quotes) who I hold in significant regard that had said, "it will come out of the blue, without notice and the fortunes of this club will be reversed". Paraphrasing obviously, but that statement couldn't ring more true today. Old enough to remember how good we were under Keegan (was a wee teen), Robson and was lucky enough to attend games with my Geordie family back then before everything went pear shaped under Souness, Fat Sam, Ashley. Today is for my Geordie Grandad, who bought my brother and I our first tops, took us to our first match and to the end of the suffering of the best, most authentic, fanbases in Football. My Geordie half is brimming for what this means to the club, the city and anyone who has lasted the 14 years of complete shite we were served up. We've got our fucking club back, lads!

Yeah I can't imagine how frustrating it was under Ashley, such a huge fan base and having someone who obviously isn't interested in investing in the club and have the objective of not getting relegated as the criteria for the season. Just out of interest does the club have the opportunity to raise funds via ffp? Everton are doing this via a new stadium, naming rights etc etc. How will Newcastle invest per say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Hard to say not knowing the extent to which Ashley has bobby-trapped things (sold the land off around the ground, diverted club shop funds to S**** D**** revenues has barely grown since he came etc.) I'm not after much personally though so am placated. Think some people might not be. The Keegan way would be a blue-print ideally. Surge of fans > income > sign some decent players > winning streak > even more surge of fans and so on but different times now, so?

Plus, there's always the option of random Saudi clubs being forced to coming in to buy our surplus trash for unexpectedly large sums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I actually tried to get out of taking my boy to training by feigning a funny turn and wor lass was like fuck off, you just want to be glued to this takeover stuff, get your son to training, I was in a right sulk, then she screen shotted the PL confirmation statement to me while I was there and I showed the parents and we all did a jig, a dance and a big cheer, it was surreal. One of the boys’ granddad was there and he had tears in his eyes, he’s been going for decades but jacked it in. And training tonight was fucking lively as fuck. Parents, coaches, kids, just buzzing. We are all NUFC at the end of the day and this has been a long time coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
