Philippe Auclair is apoplectic with rage that Newcastle have spent money this year and with Eddie for saying that we have constraints to our spending going forward. He's also incensed that Eddie didn't get on his knees and blow Klopp for being a dickhead earlier in the week

 

This is it basically - there's a video interview going around Twitter. He's also arguing with people with things like this "Ashley does not justify MbS and PIF" and essentially saying it wasn't that bad under Ashley.

It’s a very odd video to say the least. He’s clearly playing up to the bias of a Man U/Liverpool based talk show football wise anyway. For starters he clearly states how is lecturing Klopp on ethics and behaviour but at no point does Howe say anything like that. I suspect Auclair has read misleading headlines only by Hope and Edwards which insinuate something more inflammatory from Howe. But if you listen to the whole interview all the answers are diplomatic and carefully worded as they always are.
 

Secondly I don’t really get why he’s so incensed about what we’ve spent. Eddie basically said we’re working with FFP and have to deal with that. I don’t see the amount we’ve spent as exorbitant compared to other clubs ?‍♂️ He merely fact checked what Klopp has said about seemingly limitless funds which can be spent right now and rightly so.
 

Thirdly he’s clearly incensed by Saudi involvement. This will always be a divisive issue but it’s a complex geopolitical issue, why are you using a football manager as the focus for your anger? If you’re that annoyed, lobby the premier league, acknowledge the government who sell fucking bombs to Saudi Arabia. Fuck me the royals give them a state visit ffs. Why is part ownership of nufc suddenly the route of all evils? 
 

It’s the playing up to the hosts calling Howe a midget and getting completely carried away which makes him look like a cunt really let’s be honest. When you do that you lose all credibility and the issue for lots of these journos including Holt et al is they won’t engage with fans and journos. It’s all one sided which suits their agenda. They won’t look at any of the positives of the takeover or acknowledge how fans have had zero say in this takeover but apparently we’re all scum now. None of these fuckers were interested in the fans or city plight during thr Ashley years. We’ll have our moment now and it’ll properly wind them up which I love.

Crazy to think we’ll never have to worry about it again.

Only been behind in games for 81 minutes this season. Majority of that was at Wolves.

:lol: Amazon not even bothering to splash out for a cheap box for half time analysis at Crave Cottage.  They're awful.

I think Amazon have been great.  In our match alone against Everton they interviewed Trippier, Bruno, Pope and Howe.

not a single mention about the wages liverpool have paid over the years, and how they are still paying massive weekly amounts.

cant see our max weekly wage being much more than 100k.

 

and liverpool have been able to spend massivley obver the years when others including ourselves coundnt.

record fee for Dalglish in the seventies, then over over £2m for Beardsley in the 80's, then that ridiculous £35m for Carroll

Bellend quote tweeting another bellend

 

 

Panja lost all credibility after his "we only had a one hour slot so I didn't have the opportunity to raise the issue of human rights" when recently interviewing someone linked to PSG (can't remember who it was).  Didn't have that problem during one of our press conferences, did he!?!

As much as those journalists don’t want to hear it, Eddie doesn’t really care about the Saudi ownership. If he did he wouldn’t have taken the job. 
 

The ownership have maintained a degree of separation from him that allows him to simply be focused on the football. Although as he’s the easiest target for them as he’s has to give a press conference every week. 

 

He answers their questions quite honestly. Obviously there is more to us travelling to SA, but as far as the footballing side of club is concerned the warm weather training worked last time so it would seem a good idea from a football perspective to do it again. 
 

I'm not fully comfortable with the SA ownership but it’s happened and it should have been the govt or FA that stopped it.
 

What do they want from us? Just to stop existing as a club? They own us now and bar the govt making a decision like with Chelsea that’s not changing any time soon.

Mate, the MSM are parasites.  They all have an agenda on any issue sports, politics whatever.   Its not about informing any more, its about trying to own the narrative and get others to subscribe to it.   

 

Just ignore it all.

Will have to listen fully later. I fully expect the press have taken the quotes they need rather than full context.

 

However on first look the use of the word "purely" is a bit silly tbf. Forgetting the political elephant in the room, it is surely a financial one and he could have worded that better and given him less for the press to throw at him, maybe he did and it wasn't printed. It is quite possible will be getting much of the trip, facilities and otherwise at a low cost or fully paid for. They have been once and know the facilities as to whether it is suitable or not, aside from the purely bit the quotes read fine and truthful to me. 


It is always damned if he says something, damned if he doesn't in this situation. The press want to trip him up and twist his words regardless.
