A Not606 letter to Wendy Taylor

Quite agree, I don't know if I want to put any more money into the football club.

 

One thing with Jonas he is a team player, cant say that about HBA at moment, he wants to do it all himself.

 

I have finally lost patience with him. The thing that has really pissed me off is he seemed to have finally grown up when Pards refused to play him in our 5th place season. I thought if he turned that corner with his talent, anything is possible. He was even doing interviews acknowledging he had wasted his talent. He has just slipped back into his old ways though. The Cardiff kick has done little to buck him up. I'm not sure what you do with him. We get 1 in 6 if lucky. Granted the 1 is a 10 out 10 bamboozling of a full back. Then its feet up, cigar out, I've bought myself a holiday. Maybe if he was a younger, a big club would think "we can work with him, he'll mature". I don't think they'd touch him now.

The crazy thing is we're in World Cup and he was up against it to start with!

 

If all Premier League clubs are getting an equal share of the monstrous new TV deal with Sky TV and BT Sport, why cant we compete financially with clubs such as Norwich, Southampton, Cardiff etc in terms of signing new players? What has the money been spent on? Has it been taken out of the Club to service the debt to Mike Ashley?

Who wrote Kinnears' article in the last programme? It wasnt even close to using the style of language that Joe frequently uses. Make an effort. We are not stupid.

Why do the hierarchy at the Club believe that settling for mediocrity is:

a, going to be successful method of advertising Sports Direct. Surely a successful Newcastle United would be a far better vehicle to showcase S.D in this country and Europe.

b, going to keep people going to games. We are hardy, loyal and passionate, but we do know when to say 'enough is enough'.

c. going to keep advertisers paying money into NUFC. They will not want to be associated with failure.


What does Joe Kinnear actually do? Is it true that he pulled the plug on the Douglas deal? Would Douglas have been a better bet at centre back than an perma-crocked Taylor, wantaway skipper Coloccini, erratic but talented Yanga-Mbiwa, and the willing but limited Williamson or 3rd choice left back Dummett? How is it that Douglas is not good enough for us, but good enough for INTER MILAN?

Who authorised Joe Kinnear to talk live on tv and radio when appointed, whilst clearly inebriated? Surely thats unprofessional conduct?

Why did the club let Alan Pardew repeatedly state that there was money available for squad strengthening, then after the window closed, claimed the opposite, stating it would put us into our overdraft?

How does Graeme Carr feel about seeing his scouted players (Aubemeyang, Thauvin, Sakho etc) all doing well at other Clubs?

Where does the hierarchy see the Club in 5 years?

Are there any plans to re-engage the NUST now that Derek Llambias has left the Club?

Good work on the £20 away ticket plans. Keep going.

Are there any more Ameobis coming through the ranks?

Did we sign the wrong Amalfitano?

Are there any plans to look into:

a, Fan representation at board level
b, safe standing
c, singing section (new or reinstated Level 7 Corner)


Where is the ambition? We would rather have a go and fail at the last, than just give up and accept 2nd best.

Will Mike Ashley ever come and speak to the fans regarding his plans for NUFC? Just some honesty, and effective communication, would go a long way.

Please can you find some reputable sponsors? How magnificent would the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation logo look across a Newcastle top? I think you'd sell an awful lot more than having a payday lender splashed on it.




And thats just my initial thoughts.

 

The bulk of these will go in fella. Bravo. Oh..... And thought provoking too.

 

How does the Club plan to keep fans coming back, who are extremely disillusioned with how the Club is being run?

Were the 10 year season ticket price deals put into place in order to stem the potential loss of fans as the Clubs' lack of ambition becomes clear? ie to encourage fans to sign up, ensuring large crowds, despite the team not progressing at all.

Who exactly decided that the squad, which was too small last year, which then lost Perch, Harper and Simpson from the first team squad in the summer, is now big enough?

 

I'd like to know if, after the 10 year ticket deal they will jack the price up by whatever the going rate is? (Probably double the price)

 

Probably, until prices drop, but we're quick to make sure tickets aren't expensive for individual matches.

 

People wont pay double to watch a Kinnear-led Sports Direct FC compete with Altrincham at the AshleyDome in the Conference.

 

Fat nike may think so if he is still here.

 

A terrifying thought.

 

Why don't you invest in a scoreboard.

 

Haven't had one since 1922.

 

Are the scores that hard to remember in play? Or perhaps it's simply best not to be reminded.

Let's face it, a scoreboard would only comprise of more adverts for Sports Direct.

 

What are these Sports Direct adverts you talk about?

 

Or not at all.

 

I don't have a question, just a suggestion.

Write the letter in blood, it'll show her we're not to be trifled with...









Of course, most of us bleed black and white so she might not even notice...

 

I could write it on a SD carrier bag... that may get her attention.

 

Look that idea ACS, have some rep.

 

When is Fat Mike going to publically declare his love for Safc ?
