Could this be why they described this as a long term plan. Its gonna take forever to get shot of the dross.
I think the squad being the "long term plan" is some fans completely misinterpreting what they're saying. DPP said this when the takeover was even being discussed, he might not remember, but essentially said we are 12th (at the time) it won't take that long to break into the top 6. It didn't, he was right. But, the "long term plan" was likely in regards to the facilities at Newcastle, the area around the stadium, the financial side, the youth development, no boardroom. These things take much, much longer than taking a 12th place squad and making it a 6th place squad.
Newcastle will go backwards to forwards I can't see then finishing top 4 again. I think they're set up nicely for an early struggle. It's going to take a time now to build the club and the revenue in order to make the next big jump.
I suppose they could win a couple of the 1st 3 but if they lose the 1st 3 they'll be in bother when they go to Brighton. Awful start for Newcastle feels like they want to burst the bubble.
Breaking News: Team that loses first 3 games of season will be in bother by 4th game of season. More from the bumfuck mind of Munson in approx 5 minutes when he posts another 17 things
I think confidence goes along way if you lose 3 games and are then going away to Brighton you're in bother... ie not a good place. The media will be all over it the fans will want howe out. I didn't say they'd get relegated.
I think it's so obvious that typing it with your surprisingly skinny fingers was a waste of precious calories
I reckon most of the Robson out brigade are dead. It was 20 years ago so many of them have passed Rip
They're a good team mate but hopefully can win otherwise it'll not feel great going into city and pool. Diaby vs Dan Burn
A mate is a Forrest fan. They reckon they are signing Lascelles. They don’t want him either. Good if true.
Whoever broke into Roys last night and stole his bag where he keeps his optimism please return it asp
They reckon 8m. Be a good move for him and then I feel. The lad says they would take Darlow back though. Apparently he’s highly rated at Forrest.
