Geordies Takeover.

This is my thought on the matter which I've expressed to several Newcastle fans.

Their blind hatred of Steve Bruce is a bit bizarre to be honest.

 

The problem Steve had was that he accepted the poisoned chalice, much like Terry has done here, working for a owner not liked to put it politely. Throw in the threat of relegation allied to having worked for Sunderland prior, and he was against it from day one!

That said it was is home town club, so completely get why he accepted the role.

 

They'll give Howe until the summer, if he keeps them up they'll invest in the squad and keep him on, and at the first sign of struggle next season move him on to a bigger manager. The bigger manager will be more willing to take the job when they aren't as deep in the relegation zone as they are now, and with a few more good players on the books if Howe keeps them up.

If he doesn't keep them up then they can buy their way out of the Championship and bring in a good manager in the PL.

It's an appointment that makes sense.

 

Reminds me of How with Fred Dunenage, Jack Hargreaves Bunty James and Co,
Like how the feck did that happen?

 

I'll laugh my cock off if they still get relegated.

 

It also is hard to understand why they hate him so much, he is one of their own, but the fact that he managed Sunderland seems to be more of a reason to hate him.

When you look back, if Sunderland fans had any honesty about them, they should be wishing he was back in charge of them, because since he left it's been downhill more or less every since.

IMO Bruce did a reasonable job under the circumstances, but many are just too blinded by hate to see it.

 

I suspect if Bruce had not managed Sunderland, and had been approached by the new owners, being one of their own he would be welcomed with open arms.

 

I loved HOW... so much better than Blue Peter...

 

So will Eddie Howe. He'll walk out of Sid James with a tidy sum in his back pocket.

Ps... when you see that the Mags are linked with Phil Jones, you begin to realise that it's not all wine and roses up there.

 

How dare you!

 

I'm not so sure, I don't think they've ever really liked him.

 

Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley has said in High Court documents that she borrowed £30.5m to help fund her 10% stake in the club.

Staveley's PCP Capital Partners firm led a Saudi Arabian backed takeover of Newcastle for £305m in October.


But in court documents seen by the BBC, she admitted claims made by former owner Mike Ashley that she borrowed the money from fellow co-owners the Reuben brothers, who also own 10% of the club.

The payment was made to another of Staveley's companies, Cantervale Limited, with the remaining 80% of the Newcastle sale financed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund.

Staveley also says she borrowed £10m from Ashley to cover costs during the acquisition.

But, via his company St James Holdings, he is suing Staveley and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi for an immediate repayment of that loan, plus interest, because he claims the terms of the agreement have been breached, which she denies.
