    Wow....

    I don't work to far from KBA associates and was thinking of painting their front door black and white and then "SCUM" in red across it but that's some next level ****.

    P.s. I wouldn't shed a tear...

    It's when you find out Charnley's been doing his coaching badges that you need to worry!

    Interesting! This reminds me of the power struggle we had during the First half of last season. If you have the time ,or inclination have a read of this link, and I am sure you you will find an uncomfortable resemblance to the situation you are now in. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...eyballs-Craig-Kline-stats-madness-Fulham.html


    Having read a few articles on Mr Barnes he comes across a a bully. You have a CEO Lee Charnley who is listed as a director of NUFC,and it appears that he is not permitted to do the job that he is paid to do, all major decisions have to be referred to Justin -run it by me-Barnes. This type of arrangement has to be unsustainable in the long run,one will surely go be it Barnes or Charnley. This from the Telegraph sums things up


    Mike Ashley has drafted in Justin Barnes, one of his most powerful and abrasive lieutenants, to help run Newcastle United as he looks to attract outside investment.

    Barnes is a long-term associate of Ashley and the lawyer has been described as the sport shop billionaire’s “fixer” and “most reliable deal maker”. His appearance at St James’ Park has ruffled feathers as he looks to establish his influence over the decision-making.

    The Daily Telegraph understands that Barnes has taken a keen interest in the business over the past few months and managing director Lee Charnley has been forced to run most large financial decisions past him before he has been allowed to act by Ashley.

    Barnes has helped Ashley make a series of acquisitions for Sports Direct and is part of his notoriously publicity-shy inner circle, but has never worked in football before.

    Although Barnes is not employed by the club, he now has a huge say in how things are done and has also been given the task of trying to persuade potential investors to buy a stake in the club.

    How many investors has Barnes persuaded to invest in the club? how much have they invested? I believe that you ,as supporters, have a right to know. The premiership needs a club like Newcastle to challenge the supremacy of the top six,you have the support,and infrastructure to make this happen,what you don't have is the will at the top level. It is time for Ashley either to pi$$, or get off the pot!

    Stan Kroenke makes offer to buy whole of the club in a deal valuing the Gunners at £1.8billion - is the reports in the papers today.

    Alisher Usminov’s stake is 30% which is about £600 million. We know another premiership club who is looking to be bought out...............

    PLEASE!

    Hmmm! So sells his stake for £600M. Buys us for £400M including paying off the little ****ers loan. That leaves £200M for us to spend <diva>

    Result!

    Then the club sources sponsors to add an additional £50m a year to the turnover, we get in a real board of directors with ambition and we kick on!

    Charnley asks for his old job back but gets told the only job available is tea lady!

    This is exactly what he wants, to be in complete control!

    I would love to say I said it here first but we all know its not going to happen!

    I wonder if there is anywhere we can contact to get him to come to the club!

    newspapers, social media, people with more time on their hands

    but we have to remember, does Ahley actually want to sell the Goose that lays the golden eggs ?

    Probably not but the pressure is mounting from all sides, players, fans and manager. Add to this the spiraling transfer fees which he must be spitting his cereal out at and there is only one way for us to go in terms of league position and ultimately value for him and his ****ty brand!
