    Is the nasty man associated with Newcastle...

    'On the 12th of January 2010, it was reported by outlets such as ESPN that Joorabchian had been appointed to the position of "Football Advisor" at the club, and would be leading a clear-out of players, bringing in talented youth from around the world.'

    Wikipedia certainly think so... Is this true?

    If so is this why you're signings seem to be so astute at the moment?

    NO! Nothing to do with us! Graham Carr is in charge of the astute signings.

    Glad to see now Wikipedia is back up and running you're back to looking up everything Newcastle related.

    The man's a **** and has nothing to do with us as far as I know. Anyone can edit wikipedia (look up Edward Lambton 7th Earl of Durham)

    Our recent signings are through a decent scouting network & tightfisted business sense of MA & Lambiarse.

    edit: Just realised you're a Makem, yes he is totally in charge of all our recent signings and is a genius, you should get him involved in your club ASAP <ok>

    If he had been appointed at our club, it would be huge news. No one has reported anything.

    Was suggested on nufc blog Badger, however as for as Wikipedia goes read somewhere that at Universities they won't accept Wikipedia as part of your bibliography because it is not reliable enough.

    Joorabchian is like Saddam Hussein .. he must have doubles employed all over the world because his face pops up all over the place .. and there's no way he's in Argentina, with that terminal slacker Tevez, and yet at the same time knocking about with Sparky Hughes at Loftus Road .. I like to play a 'Where's Wally' style game with him .. if you stare hard enough during Sky Sports reports you'll always spot him .. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I once created a profile of myself on Wikipedia as a famous Gladiator from Roman times (I had some free time...) and they closed it.

    It was ****ing hilarious as well (if I do say so myself).

    My mate did likewise inventing himself as a Highlander, that stayed alive for a couple of years.

    We'd know all about it if this reprobate was involved with a Premier League club, simple as that.

    He's a ****ing crook.

    Ed Harrison doesn't vet his sources or anything though, all kinds of crap is on there. He works very hard, but the most ridiculous rumours (e.g. Joe Cole to Newcastle) get full stories. Could also do with some lessons in grammar. Can't fault his work rate though.

    No one knows if he is involved or not as our club dont do the whole 'keeping fans informed' thing.

    Think we've all done stuff like that on wikipedia over the years.

    Tbf to him he's quite old, living in America for a long time and considering he's over there he ends up posting at like 3 in the morning sometimes.

    Still posts a lot of non storys though.
