Awaymag Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 23 minutes ago, et tu brute said: See the Sun (I know) article from two days ago was reporting fat cunt is making 50 million now available. If that was the case, just seems strange seeing that it was previously heavily reported he was pulling the strings even tighter with only 10 million (and any cash from player sales) available. Also out of kilter with his obvious reluctance to spend money with the takeover in the balance. He showed in January his stance even in the face of relegation being very possible. As I said it’s the Sun so may be bollocks, but if it is correct just seems a head scratcher with Ashley’s reluctance to spend and the takeover still very much in the balance. Might already been discussed somewhere, just never seen it and that’s unusual for here for it not to be picked up and posted. £50 million transfer budget........now which group was reported by various outlets to provide a constant £50m per year for players..........hmmmm head scratcher indeed!

Obviously it could well be total bollocks also with it being the Sun as I mentioned. If true, it’s certainly interesting and would be a pretty big change (for Ashley) in his recent stance.

Guest HTT II Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I’m so glad the Euros are on so I don’t have to concern myself with the takeover bullshit, transfer shit and other NUFC crap for a month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Bruce look at Conor Hourihane. Bruce loves him. I like him (Hourihane not Bruce, obvs) but he's right on the line in terms of good enough for top flight or not. Has a belting free kick and shot on him. Used to annoy us otherwise by standing and watching the entire midfield get overrun without tracking back or getting stuck in in any way, though. No idea how he's done on loan to Swansea this last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 In real life no-one actually knows what we'll spend. Obviously this being a MA Operation it will be as little as possible, but its absolutely baffling that 12M would be the limit unless they genuinely believe that they were the only ones affected by Covid (again not hard to believe) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Why is it always reported this way with us, like Ashley is a benevolent owner and we need to be concerned with his personal finances? A better tweet would be "Chronically tight Newcastle owner will allow club to spend £50m of its own money on transfers this summer, including wages over the course of the new players' contract(s)" Edited June 14, 2021 by Interpolic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Matt Ritchie having an extended run in the team went a long way to us staying up imho, sure Willocks goals were the obvious thing but Ritchie played his part in some of those too. He’s one of the few leaders in the dressing room that the club has. We’d be mad to let him leave without replacing those certain qualities.

Helped saved his bacon last season by putting in some top performances but that’s more to do with him being a good pro than actually wanting to play for him.

(even if it’s a different position) Would agree with all of those, he is a leader, but he's also the sort of player who is only ever going to go to struggling teams at this level. He's just not an athlete to be useful to those with a bit more ambition. He's a great pro for a Bruce team, but with new ownership I'd be more than happy to let him get back to Bournemouth.

Dokko Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Think Ritchies return to the team was more important than signing willock for staying up. He stopped the weakness down the left, filled in for the missing leadership and got the assists needed. Willock got the goals and the headlines but Ritchies contribution was outstanding and that comes from someone who thinks we should have sold him 2 years ago along with Gayle & Shelvey. so aye, he’s proved me wrong and I’d like to see him get the final years he wants and if that’s back home then make it happen.

TRon Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Think that's a bit of a stretch like. If you asked me who I'd rather was injured out of those two in the closing games of the season I'd go for Ritchie every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The fact they offered him an extension and he’s chosen to join us, got to question the lads sanity. https://theathletic.com/news/liverpool-transfers-newcastle-remi-savage/1SagVogDxoMS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Looks like we offered him a 3 year deal as opposed to the one year extension from Liverpool so I would imagine that was the motivation for him. Not a single one of these kids we get from other clubs ever work out. This club is impossibly bad at bringing through young players. Can't even do it by accident occasionally.
