    NUST claiming talks with PL were constructive and lasted half an hour, but agreed to wait for the PL to publish the transcript.

    Personally can’t see how NUFC’s £0 transfer budget and shattered dreams (aka signing Jeff Hendrick) can ever be constructive when Man City are signing Ake for the bench at £40m.

    Nust will have sat their nodding... Putty in their hands.

    Constructive...

    The premier league will put this out as a bit of PR... something along the lines of... We've spoken with the most important people (fans) and taken pointers on how we can improve our process for the future...

    Is anyone a member of the NUST? If so can they either post on here or drop me a Dm when the PL minutes are released?

    To be fair I did civil engineering so apart from Newcastle, the rest were useless to me (this was a long time ago mind you). I wound up going down south anyway so my opinions count for nought <laugh>

    I cannot, for love nor money, find a decent paying job, for my skill set, in the North East. I have to commute to Leeds everyday in order to keep my income up (I'm better off commuting every day!)

    If we can get this one over 100,000 then it will show that we aren’t giving up. Firstly, the SA takeover and, secondly, the investigation of the PL.

    With desperation comes inspiration, alas, in this case it remains what it is, desperation.....

    Fans get played like a fiddle with a lack of sincerity and empathy by all sides.

    All comes around eventually. If I took my loyalty out of it, its a ****ing disgrace the lack of investment in the likes of Sunderland and Teesside. Sunderland truly is a dump, and the government with their southern bias should be ashamed of themselves. But they'd have to give a **** about your average man to feel any shame.

    I don't think there is a southern bias at all. An inner London bias yes, but most London boroughs get **** all. Look at other places like Portsmouth is that really that significantly better? Of course not.

    There were some ONS stats around election time proving the investment per head (so populations densities are taken out of the mix) is a lot lower north of the M62.
    This is why government made it a policy to 'level up' the North to bring it in line with the South.

    They get more investment than the North mate. The figures tell you that. Have a look at the investment per head in key areas of regeneration like transport, higher education & research, and culture. Bottom of the pile in virtually every regard. The disparity between London and the North East is huge. But if you just took transport as an example, the difference between the South East and North East is huge in spend per head. But undoubtedly there is another tier to this with inner London. I get it, its the hub of all our global relations, the centre of the power within the country, it should be heavily invested in and developed. It should be cutting edge, it has to be. But not at the exclusivity of all other regions - and in particular the North.

    We have to look within too. Not enough is done from within the region to drag investment in.

    Even Yorks and Humber, the East and West Midlands - investment wise we are lagging behind. Bottom line is we are so far away geographically they don't give a ****. Never have, never truly made an effort.
