    Just seen a clip there of Toney making his comeback in a game v young lads. Showed again the difference in physicality.

    Battered them for 3 headers without really busting a gut.

    Easier putting him on ignore mate. You can't argue or discuss when they have an obvious agenda against those that run the club.

    People can express whatever opinion they want and I never usually comment Jarca, but if I feel that someone is having a go at me, I have never been one to sit back and let it pass.

    This.
    I just want us to be owned by someone who loves football. That's KLD.

    The Saudis don't own Newcastle because they love football. Their motivation is something different and we all know what that is. When the club's usefulness to them expires, they may well drop them like something hot and smelly.

    I mean let’s be real they bought the cheapest available top flight club. That’s a fact.

    They didn’t try for Chelsea, or Spurs. Didn’t she have a go at getting them Villa as well and they weren’t having it.

    United fans were ‘**** clean off’ despite their hate for the Glazers.

    Any London club was a billion plus and they had no attempt there. West Ham owners would sell for the right money.

    They bought the bargain basement PL club for their specific campaign of sports washing. It’s as black and white as them monstrous shirts they wear.

    Two more defeats and it could be quicker than you imagine, especially for Beheady

    I do you want any nation states owning us, I also don't want KLD to sell up.

    I would like him to re-evaluate his off the field plans as while the sustainability is going to be crucial, the complete reliance on everything being generated by the club needs investment to get it going and thats down to the owners.

    On the field, there has to be a little flexibility on the model, that doesn't mean throwing money at it, but it does mean looking at older players a bit more.

    Take Brighton and Milner as an example of what we should be looking at in certain Circumstances, to expect prerry much every player to have potential to develop and make money on is a nigh on impossible task.

    They could be 17 points from CL after next 2 games.

    17.

    They are closer to Luton than 4th.

    But I’ll add that I’m more than happy for KLD to stay.

    I'd guess every aspect of the club is being evaluated all the time as is the performance of the team/players/staff.

    I want success but I don't believe the club will jump because some supporters clap their hands ...

    ... I wouldn't want them to, especially when some supporters wanted Gareth Ainsworth, revolted when 'Neil was allowed to leave' and thought Stewart should be kept at all costs.

    I also think they hand picked them due to their fan base being so easy to sports wash.
