Why. He had yeah gentleman’s agreement 17 month ago that he would be allowed to leave they have backtracked think I would be pissed off too
I’d be gutted to see him go but there were rumours of him having off field issues with family wasn’t there?
Players like Clarke seem to leave on good terms and their team mates seem genuinely pleased for them. By the same token they speak highly of the club and want us to do well. Perhaps I'm a bit 'rose tinted' but the atmosphere, around the club, seems great and you can pick that up on the way they happily involve themselves in the daft video clips and games that the media team put out ... ... the atmosphere in the Newcastle dressing room must be difficult to cope with at the moment. There's a knock on effect and the players will all be talking about the state of the club.
Verbal agreements may not mean anything from a legal perspective but they mean everything to an individual. These are people at the end of the day and have to be treated with respect, contract or not. As mentioned in the post above, it's something we get and excel at.
Yeah someone mentioned striker and it spread pretty quick think the original story though still hasn’t changed no idea of player or position just a supposed ‘big’ signing being kept secret
Having spent a fair bit of time around Merthyr and the surrounding areas, can i respectfully request we dont bring any of them here unless its to keep the local Spoons busy at 9am in the morning
They have to sell him. They’ll end up making a loss on him the way it’s going on. £100m was a very fair offer imo…
That started almost as soon as the season ended … … interesting to see who is allowed to leave. The club staff have a busy few weeks
Plenty of the latter marra. The malt has been well selected. Someone has brought a full on poker set - dear me I can barely count sober
My thoughts on Isak, they should sell him but he's not handling the situation well at all. Newcastle have to watch out tho, they can't keep putting up barriers to stop players wanting to leave. They did it with their staff as well, Dan Ashworth when he wanted to go to United Newcastle put up loads of barriers It'll def put some players off joining as they want to be able to move on to bigger clubs at some point Them constantly blaming PSR is embarrassing, they agree to vote it in but aren't doing things to maximise what they can do with PSR. Spending 20 million on a 3rd choice GK they didn't want is just one way they've f**ked up with PSR Anyway f**k them Now get our beautiful no-nonsense south american CB announced
We seem to stand by our players more, like the one's who get injured, and offer them a deal (Sanderson?? the CB, and I'm sure there was another). What I'm also noticing is some average players like Max Power and Mitrovic going to Saudi on high wages. They seem to be coming back now. Mitrovic was rumoured to be on £400k per week... how are these players going to reintegrate themselves back into our league? Power, 32 years old, is now captain of league one side Bradford, good luck to him, the Saudi experience seems to have worked for him. Im not sure Mitrovic will have a happy ending (nearly 31).
