Scoot Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Surely Joyce had a deputy or assistant who couldve stepped in? How many staff are there in the youth setup? Probably just 2. Him and the cleaner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 https://theathletic.co.uk/2416973/2021/03/01/ornstein-newcastle-legal-claims-referee-lee-mason-calf-injury-man-city/ Newcastle United’s battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League is being accompanied by a legal challenge behind the scenes involving the victims of George Ormond, the jailed coach who worked for the club in the 1990s and was described in court as a “predatory paedophile”. Ormond was sent to prison for 20 years in 2018 after being found guilty of committing 36 counts of sexual abuse against 18 victims over a 24-year period. Ormond preyed on junior footballers at a boys’ club and during several years assisting with Newcastle’s youth coaching. My colleague Daniel Taylor can now reveal that several of Ormond’s victims have started civil claims against Newcastle and have brought in Bolt Burdon Kemp, a law firm that specialises in helping abuse survivors, to fight their case. “Newcastle have had every opportunity to apologise and accept responsibility for what has happened,” says Thomas Beale, senior associate for Bolt Burdon Kemp. “By denying liability and forcing the survivors to pursue litigation, the club are causing further distress and harm rather than helping those who have been abused try to move forward with their lives. “It is not just about money. It is about the club accepting responsibility and apologising for their failings. I would encourage the club to reconsider their stance and accept liability.“ Newcastle, via their insurers, are denying it is their responsibility. Their lawyers are expected to argue Ormond’s crimes were not closely connected to his role at the club and that, after this passage of time, the claims ought to be barred because of what is known as the “limitation” defence. Newcastle have declined to comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 No Elliot Anderson in the U23s today, guessing he’s being wrapped in cotton wool for the bench at the weekend. They have to do quarantine / testing between swapping from the u23 bubble to the seniors bubble and vice versa IIRC. It's why he's barely played for the u23s recently.

Abra Dubravka Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 James Coppinger article on Guardian... Still going at 40 for Doncaster! https://www.theguardian.com/football/football-league-blog/2021/mar/02/james-coppinger-doncaster-legend-aged-40-kit Coppinger was a trainee at non-league Darlington and his roots remain in Guisborough, a dozen miles south of Middlesbrough, where he grew up idolising Juninho as a season-ticket holder – “I only really went to watch him” – but his professional debut came for Newcastle under Sir Bobby Robson, as a substitute in a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at St James’ Park. In five years, he went from Sunday League to partnering Alan Shearer up front. “He [Robson] kissed his hand, slapped me around the face and said: ‘Don’t let me down, son.’ That was his way of saying: ‘I believe in you.’ He always believed in me but I didn’t believe in myself, and that is where I was at the time. “In pre-season, when I was training with the first team, we would partner up –because I was up from the reserves he [Robson] would go with me – and we would be doing sit-ups and press-ups. He would be doing them all and the lads would be in stitches. Gary Speed, Alan Shearer and Duncan Ferguson would be laughing their heads off and I’d be trying to keep a straight face while he was trying to do 10 burpees. He was so charismatic. Every single day he would give everything. He was so authentic and you believed everything he said because he said it with so much passion.” Robson once compared Coppinger to Gianfranco Zola but was not so enamoured when he spotted his sports car in training. “I bought a BMW Z3 after I made my debut and a security guard waved me in thinking I must be a first-team regular, and I actually parked my car next to Sir Bobby’s. As we were warming up I could see the gaffer pointing at my car. He said: ‘Whose is that car?’ I said it was mine and he absolutely went off on one and said: ‘Who do you think you are? You’ve made one appearance.’ I sold the car … every time I got in it after that I didn’t feel like I deserved it. He was spot on.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abra Dubravka Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Why was he ever allowed to play against us when he was on loan? Was still fairly young at the time, but seem to remember we tried to get him back from loan as we had injuries up front for European games? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was still fairly young at the time, but seem to remember we tried to get him back from loan as we had injuries up front for European games? Money I think - we got more by allowing him. (Never mind that it cost us 2 of the 4 point deficit that put us outside the CL places) He scored more during that loan spell than he ever did for us in a season. Don't know about an attempted recall, he never played for us again though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
