Honestly, there won't be a club if this sale doesn't happen. Ashley's checked out (like Ellis Short did) early. Too early. As I said elsewhere, there's no budget. Ashley's pulling his debt out fast to minimise his losses as an absolute priority. There's no finance coming in - the shirt deal is a one year extension, the sponsor is almost gone and there's no commercial effort anywhere. SD pay the bare minimum. None of this is reported, not even in local rags. Nobody is saying this to the PL, who remain ****ing silent. We're so far beyond ****ed if this doesn't happen and nobody notices because everyone is staring at the PL. What if they say no? Or continue to say nothing beyond the transfer window? The **** we could be in will make the mackems look good.
Funnily enough i have just said exactly this on Tash’s thread. Damn, I’m agreeing with the Yorkshire Mackem....WIFE, pass that bottle here now.
It was never happening and anyone steps in gives him £300m he's gone, it's like selling a plot without planning permission.
I honestly can't see the relevance. We got smashed under Pardew but he achieved the most. Bruce hasn't suddenly done a bad job because we got mullered off Man City. People need to get a grip Even under Rafa I can remember being taken apart in championship by Fulham at home 3-1, could have been many more. Oxford pumped us 3-0 the same season.We got humped 4-1 by Man U, could have been a cricket score on chances. Liverpool last season was truly awful They probably had more possession than Man C tonight. People just have rosy memories is all to fuel all the faux rage. The end of the season will tell us how he's done. We know he'll have done a solid job regardless now. We could lose every game 5-0, he'll still have kept us up.
Can't understand why people even take this seriously,we were safe before the break,grant it not mathematically but everyone below us made life easier, anyone ever look at the fixture list,top 6 never play each other on first and last day of season,if you're in the relegation zone you're ****ed, look at our remaining games!
Not been much gripping on this forum recently. Some have had a continous whine going on for months, every victory was not good enough, every defeat a sign of relegation. The entire board has been split. We win 4-0 one week and everyone is buzzing, few days later we have the worst squad and manager possible. Overreaction after overreaction. Even draws are a frustration and "not good enough" for us. No wonder EVERYONE at Newcastle checks out. Gives up and ****s off eventually, the pressure everything is a negative pessimistic groan. We are absolutely no different to how we were under Rafa. Some of our performances against the bottom three were laughable, we were a major topic of conversation amongst pundits as everything wrong with modern football after a game against City. I think we had 10% possession and not a single shot. Rose tinted glasses to the ****ing extreme. I'm starting to think some might genuinely be suffering from alzheimers
The problem is the fans are reflective of the regime too, its cut so fine financially that the team is up and down. We do just about enough. A takeover would sort it out but there is something about it here, your face has to fit. More important than results. My own vice over results would be style of football and we haven't been modern enough for some time. Not at all under Ashley. Mike prefers a functional relic. Some people are behind 8 ball from start though in some eyes and are judged accordingly. A bad game under Pardew or Bruce = hysteria, relegation, manager terrible. Under Rafa? Mikes fault.
Takes time for what? To see the relevance? Nah I think you've missed the point, there isn't any. Just a lack of objectivity. I don't mind, it keeps it interesting to have all these bi polar fibbing ****ers.
it takes time to **** things up.. pardew and Bruce picked up mid table sides .. all the others picked up sides leaking goals and either going down or in 17th ... my opinion is that Bruce 2nd season is the real one to judge. there's been positive and negative signs this season
Not this old bullshit again. Bruce and Pardew are responsible for their work. Rafa is responsible for his. Just because Rafa has been exposed by these English journeymen, we get concocted version of how its come about. What a load of tripe.
