Aye he fucked up in the end, but if it wasn’t for him initially we could’ve been playing Hartlepool now. Again, I'd argue that he was responsible for the club almost going into oblivion. True enough Hall was also the guy who made KK manager and the glorious years that followed.l, but don't forget that his was a hostile takeover (late spring 1988) at a time when we had just finished 8th and things were looking brighter than for many years. The club was lloking for new investors, the PL was being mooted, etc. Had Hall approached the club instead of whipping up a firestorm, then the club wouldn't have auffered those calamatous seasons from 1988-92.

The UK-based firm, who offer ticket-inclusive packages to many of the world’s top sporting events, will also have a strong presence with Newcastle United Women, becoming the Lady Magpies’ Official Training Kit Partner. ? I didn’t read the article properly. Another good move by the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I love that when we signed Botman we announced the Noon.com deal around the same time which completely offset the cost of the transfer. I wonder if fans of other clubs are so invested in their commercial partner signings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll never know, I’d not say JH was the reason we got relegated, and the Club needed woken up from top to bottom and whether he’s liked or disliked, he certainly did that, and took us within a whisker of winning the League in a short space of time, and only lack of experience, players losing a bit form at a crucial stage cost us. I seriously don’t think that would’ve happened without John Hall. Each to their own opinion though ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always saw Hall as a populist, a narcissist, someome who'd say/do anything to get what he wanted. Yoo could say it was those traits that helped make us such a force for a few years, but it was also thse traits that almost destroyed us before he took total control in 1992 and at the point he sold his shares. He was our equivalent of Boris Johnson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were no different to any of the other big clubs at the time. We certainly weren't exorbitant like some are suggesting. The Platinum Club I didn't agree with but the bond scheme was 100% optional and lets not forget was a Freddy Fletcher idea that he'd previously done whilst a director at Rangers. Mike Ashley put around 20k season tickets up in price by over £120 from one season to the next (17/18 to 18/19) and few batted an eyelid, and that was to watch a pointless club that wasn't even trying. You’ll get no pushback from me on Ashley being a cunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 It's just a bizarre take. He admits Klopp's behaviour wasn't on but says Howe can't have an opinion on it because Saudi. He also seems to be annoyed by the fact that he's answering a question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Honestly Howe’s comments weren’t that bad at all. Our amazing local journos have stitched him up by turning his, quite tame, comments about Klopp’s pitch side behaviour into some very unflattering sound bites. Eddie’s been nothing but respectful to all and a class act throughout some very difficult questioning. Auclair’s an absolute fucking weapon, man.

As if any Newcastle fan was unhappy with Eddie’s comments on our spending which is wholly proportionate with the premier league or his views on his own behaviour on the touchline, which were both (1) true (he is well behaved) and (2) not given in response to a question that name-checked Klopp. Journalists are no longer functioning as independent scrutinisers of societal institutions and so a key part of a functioning constitutional democracy. They’re a weaponised group of protest writers jumping on the zeitgeist to increase clicks and obtain temporary seals of public approval. This chap can do one!
