Scoot Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) I still cannot get my head around what has happened to us in the last few days. It's just the polar opposite to where we were under Ashley. All the positive news stories coming out about sporting directors, top managers being linked, top players being linked etc. Since Wednesday when this looked to be back on, I've been in almost like a daze, I still can't believe it. I've just rewatched the moment it broke on sky sports news (there's a video on youtube) and it honestly brought a tear to my eye (again). I've also just watched the Staveley quick interview outside Jesmond dene house moments after the news broke, again just sat there with goosebumps as I watched. From where I was only a week ago, where basically I'd turned by back on football, wasn't watching any of it, not even watched us this season, I was literally 99% out, to where I am now, it's night and day. Back to St James on Sunday for the first time in nearly 2 years, cannot not fucking wait! HWTL! Edited October 10, 2021 by Scoot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't particularly like the guy and he's as tactful as a ballet dancing bull, I just find him a bit meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpingel Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It's over 50 years since I 1st stood in the Leazes End and, honestly, was of a mindset that I'd never witness a trophy win. Now I've hope if not expectations of something tangible happening within the next 5 years. What a feeling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necking the pint was endearing, showing up in an Alan Smuth top was nice, but should have been a clue. It was a gradual realization until Keegan, iirc. Not sure if the penny dropped prior to that.

People were quite excited because he had some money and what had been going on prior to it (after Hall checked out) was equally depressing. The choices were erratic and often stupid ... boring, pig headed managers ... expensive, past it trophy signings etc. The warning sign was Ashley's reclusive reputation (and, of course, he'd built a buisness ripping people off for tat).
