Match Day Thread Norwich v Newcastle

I still want Webber to go, though, and that is not just an emotional reaction during this game. IMO he's served his purpose. The improvements he has made to the club in terms of infrastructure and finance are deeply rooted now, and I think we should look for a Sporting Director who is more focused on the job in hand.

EDIT: And to be honest, I wish we still had Farke. Could this season have been much worse if we had kept him?

 

Not impressed with Smith but it's not worth paying off his contract and he'll probably do OK IF/when we go down.

 

All 3 goals were sloppy the second Handley was a bit unlucky his tackle put it on a plate with the deflection

 

Wrong his numbers are right up there with the best cms. He's been outstanding.

 

This is the thing. You wouldn't.

Be ****ing honest about it and stop the bull.

We have had a ****e owner for 15 years mate and we have an opportunity. Our owners are perfectly above board and law states that fact.

Good luck in the championship!

 

Newcastle will be hated for being bought by Saudi Billionaires with a disgraceful human rights record, no matter how much money they spend.

Ergo

Sold their souls

 

This is the thing though. This season this is what the new owners spent/bought:

Trippier - 12m bargain
Wood - £25m been dross for us. Can't score a goal for love nor money.
Bruno - £35m..... WORLD CLASS but didnt play for weeks when we signed him because we where already winning games.
Taggart - £0 loan fee from Villa
Burn - £12m bargain

I wouldn't say any are galacticos.

And that is the thing. We won't be signing them either because we have to play within the FFP rules.

 

I think there is a big difference to be honest - your previous owner made a mockery of the club and I had huge sympathy for the Geordie fans who wanted him out and just about anyone was better than him, especially if they had pots of cash. By contrast, we have an owner who genuinely loves the club and does her best, but wants to balance the books as she simply has no cash - poorest owners in the top two or three divisions, something like that. Would I exchange that for a rich owner? If they loved the club just as much, of course, in an instant. If they didn’t care about the club and it was about profile? It would be a different and more challenging question. We are a proper family run club. We’ve had our time in Europe and at the top of the Premier League many years ago, but we don’t pretend to be that level or expect it.

 

Not true and you need to get the facts right. We are owned 80:10:10 by PIF. A investment company (Not a state), Amanda Staveley a British citizen and Rueben bros also British.

It's just jealousy. If they had bought you guys are you seriously telling me you would stop supporting the club you have supported for however many years.... if so then your a plastic fan because its in your blood mate and you cannot just switch that **** off!

 

Mate honestly i have a massive soft spot for your club. Truly, i grew up playing football with Grant Holt when i was a kid so i always kept an eye out for you guys.

And yes the club is brilliant and truly should be admired.

Maybe she needs to let go for the good of the club.... Maybe part sell for investment etc?

 

OK you won and deserved it , you can go now .
Saudi Billionaires are great owners, righty ho not just a Franchise play thing for vulgar status at all ?
Boyhood fans no doubt

Gotcha

 

Simply not true mate. It will blow over. We aint done nothing wrong and its pure ignorance if fans do.

 

Actually if you knew why they bought us you would realise that its purely investment only... The potential for redevelopment for Newcastle is huge and the city has been massively hit with unemployment and problems because of a lack of investment.

They recognise that as a city we are mad about football and by buying us, and investing in the city its a win win for them and us.

 

The noise will occur but let them cry.. We won't be just ignore them they've all been dining out on oil money their entire lives.

 

Honestly though chaps i do wish you well for the future because i do have massive respect for the club and owners......

Dare i say "let's be having you"

You will come back up next season.

 

Sorry for the delay mate, took me a while to find this place, I was looking in the Championship teams section

 

Are City hated?

Are PSG Hated?

do people avoid using part Saudi owned Twitter?

everyone gonna boycott the World Cup in Qatar?

Folk ditching F1 due to Aramco investment?

thought not.

selective morals… everywhere these days from some who suddenly become experts on human rights globally…

I always have and will like Norwich (and the fans) but there are some proper salty beelers on here tha neet.

dry your eyes lads, suck it up.. and hopefully see you back in the prem soon.

 

Yeah we know how it feels... We can only be kind but we'll get plenty of bitterness as we collect the success over the decades.

 

I once cooked a Delia meal and hours later was sick with food poisoning, ended up i hospital getting my stomach pumped......... I don't hold it against her.
