NE27 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 These buggers read nufc social media like They seemed to have answered a lot of questions posed by the fanbase on these very forums and Twitter. If I were them I'd just glance and then retreat. Just glean the general consensus of the fanbase and work toward that, the SJP one definitely. I find it refreshing to have these articles every so often and they come across as honest and sometimes a bit naïve, but they are clearly aware of what needs to be done and are putting it into place so Get this basket case of a club right and you're laughing tbh.

Kanji Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 There’s not a thing wrong with anything they’ve said and other directors or managers have talked about other players not singed too. These owners are smarter than people think, it’s part marketing too to show the ambition. Keep talking like they do, it’s what we all want to hear deep down. It doesn’t bind anything either - the only thing that’s binding is a contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a bit naive, ultimately harmless enough and refreshingly honest. This is NUFC. There'll always be some who find a negative in anything positive.

Tiresias Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 2 hours ago, LV said: I think that’s rubbish to be honest. What do they yammer on too much about? The Emery deal, yeah, maybe you have a point. But what else have they done that leads you to use the words ‘yammer on too much’? I didn't mean it all that negatively to be honest it just seems that everything we do appears in press. I am enjoying having an open communicative team in charge and mostly its not done any harm but the Emery thing was embarassing as was how much of our transfer negotiations seemed to leak, that could of course be agents more than anything. It was definitely the manager hunt when this was clearest. It's not a big problem at all, didn't mean Yammer on that badly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a big problem at all, didn't mean Yammer on that badly They did explain in that athletic interview that everyone seemed to be leaking stuff from agents/players/club. I'm sure they were guilty to a degree as well. As much as I can't get my head around it still, nufc will be big news and every little thing now scrutinised as some see us as now having potential to upset things. Ultimately it's just not worth getting upset over and just roll with it. It's just nice being interested again for me. I took the bairn to her first game ever against Brentford and now she has a healthy (well, not really) interest in NUFC and even wanted the retro kids top yesterday in the club shop. I obliged as it was only £18 btw! But it's nice nonetheless. Edit, sorry for digressing Edited February 26, 2022 by NE27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 3 hours ago, r0cafella said: It’s unprofessional for them to speak on players who we didn’t sign for a start. Also, anything they say will likely come back to haunt them. Saying Botman wants to come and still does is I’ll advised and not something which should come from our owners. I’m all for transparency and I fully support them but they might need to give more political answers in future to avoid binding themselves. Botman has been quoted as saying he is excited to be part of project so nothing new there. The only other name they mentioned openly was Lingard and that again was open info.

Kanji Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 There’s literally nothing embarrassing about the Emery thing. His entourage was in town waiting for him to come. The whole thing was arranged and he turned back on whatever agreement he made. It happens. It’s life. You don’t think the transfer rumors aren’t being leaked at most major clubs? Again, we’re a big draw now and agents are now throwing our name everywhere. it’s ok, we will need to get used to the new normal that is our club. Long may the ambition continue.

Hhtoon Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 That article alone makes the Athletic subs worthwhile for the next year or so. Love getting that sort of content and they absolutely answer a lot of the question/criticisms raised.... can't help but agree with them on most of it when you get their perspective Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Do people already forget what it was like under Ashley? We had an owner that really spoke and when he did it was total bullshit. Before that our owner called the women dogs. Now we've got owners saying we deserve the world and they want to give it to us They may be lying too but at least the melody on this tune is easier to listen to.
