    http://www.teamtalk.com/news/ashley-admits-newcastle-errors-talks-stadium-and-allardyce-regret

    Can you trust anyone who regrets sacking Allardyce?
    Wish he'd shut up tbh, should have said all this in summer, not days before.the start of the season

    Says this about renaming stadium.
    Ashley added: “I actually understand how cross the fans were. If I was a fan, would I have been as upset as they were? I would probably have been worst!"


    So you understood how angry you'd be as a spurs fan and yet it didn't matter if you did it to Newcastle fans? ****

    What does this fat **** mean 'generate funds for Rafa'? We'll be lucky to get £10m from the load of **** we're looking to offload. And that's if we find any poor saps to take the useless bastards off our hands.

    We'll Mikey boy was watching the game today so maybe he'll feel more inclined to float the club a bit of money.

    Personally think it was all staged!

    The mistake that Rafa alluded to was telling everyone we had money to spend! Thus clubs were telling us silly prices.

    So now MA comes out and says this in the hope clubs lower their prices and we sign some first team players.

    Christ that's hopeful
    Mind I do remember someone on here saying no manager gives out figures on budgets, only for him to go do the exact thing a week later.
    It definitely did us no favours historically, in the way the publicity of the Carroll, Cabaye and Sissoko transfers didnt

    Think you're the only one left, you'd get odds of 1000-1 on that

    We could resign Shola mate? He knows where the goal is.

    If he stayed fit he would be a very good signing. Problem is it's a very big IF.

    Ashley apologizes to Keegan in his interview btw. Either it's a very clever publicity stunt or he has finally realised what a **** he has been.

    If he was always fit we wouldn't have a chance of signing him. Fitness and his talent equals tens of millions transfer fee or staying at Arsenal. We'll have to roll the dice on someone like this if we want proper quality brought in. Apart from us not having the kind of money needed for proper proven talent, the players wouldn't choose us at the moment either. If we won't roll the dice then it will be unproven players with much less talent much like what we have already signed.

    Exactly this. Jack Wilshere playing 20 games for us would give us that extra edge. A risk worth taking at this juncture.

    No faith in Ashley right now, without wanting to sound like Captainchaos I would fear the worst if Rafa walked, and right now I wouldn't blame him.
