Well, it appears we’re not even willing to pay compensation for him yet. They told everyone at the club that he was coming in as well This lot, man, I swear to god. They get worse every year. There was that 3 years when Rafa was dragging them through life by doing all the work himself but when they’re left to their own devices, it’s outrageous.

..... Send out the clowns.... ( at the lad talking to the telly telling them to fuck off, as you do).

Probably the best Chronicle article of the week. Bonus of Ryder being huffy in the thread too.

Rafa contacted US about the job. Charnley was so shit scared of negotiations that he paid an agent to do it for him. This is what he’s like when a world class manager hasn’t fallen into his lap.

From anything I’ve read about him as a businessman he sounds a complete arsehole. It’s suited him well in the retail world where he’s been able to bully suppliers, especially when his low price model pushed Whelan and JJB to a rough spot. The way he’s done business hasn’t transferred well to the football world as the pool of people is fairly small, and it’s hard to strong arm people as they don’t have to sell to him, they can sell to other clubs and it’s not like he can push out that competition. Saying all that I may be wrong. He’s basically got exactly what he wants, a club that has generally been in the PL and had access to that revenue and advertising potential while throttling the investment in the actual club. This does seem to be a turning point mind and his treatment of Rafa may have been a massive mid step (obviously it’s one from our/a football standpoint) as this 3 year shit housery towards a massively respected manager has seemingly made others take note and they’ve stepped away from NUFC whereas in the past they may have seen it as a possibly stepping stone despite Ashley being a pain. Either way I sincerely hope for the blokes downfall. I’m fucking thrilled members of the SD board are turning on him, and JD sports coming in a cleaning up all the suppliers of the premium level sports wear meaning Ashley’s stores are only left with the bottom tier shite which has also seen JD sports revenue far surpass his bampy chain.

Bad form from Benitez to not sort out his replacement before he left.

And pay him.

Wow, the racist undertones in that post are shocking.

Is that... is that supposed to be good?

And as for Shola, his hat collection has more brain cells than he has

Carver used to spend all day licking his lips anyway, lip licking motherliker that he is.

Yep, although even having visited the museum in Amsterdam I can't call myself an aficionado in any way, shape or form. Hey that looks cool were my only thoughts on it.

Amoeba can fuck off and John Charver was probably licking his lips as he'll have been promised a job painting the fences at the training ground or something for his pro-Bruce interview.

Every single pre-season is a perfect exercise in derailing momentum. Every single year.

Our transfer window is so fucking bleak the Chronicle has decided to run stories on where a player who was released has went

Stevie Bruce! Stevie Bruce! Stevie, Stevie Bruce! Since the liposuction his ball bags loose, Stevie, Stevie Bruce! Stevie Bruce! Stevie Bruce! Stevie, Stevie Bruce! His appointment's going to inspire some to take out the noose, Stevie, Stevie Bruce!

Oh there’s plenty and I’ve no doubt she’s getting special attention because she’s a gay woman but in football we like our stars to have a certain modesty.

Here's one for 'wor hyem' if Bruce signs seeing they like some shit songs.... Stevie Bruce! Stevie Bruce! Stevie, Stevie Bruce! If he gets the job he wants a truce, Stevie, Stevie Bruce! Stevie Bruce! Stevie Bruce! Stevie, Stevie Bruce! When he walks up stairs, his face goes puce, Stevie, Stevie Bruce!

While I applaud her anti-Trump stance and her work on LBGT rights she does seem to come across as a bit of a twat.

Winning streak? Very funny.

Charnley voted for Brexit. Pass it on.

Bet Ryder and Bruce could get through some Carling in the Wallsend Buffs. Just another day in the life on the Newcastle beat.

Federer gets to wear his latest cheesy "I'm in another Wimbledon final" tracksuit material blazer, the fucking Swiss bellend. Hopefully his special winner's costume change has to stay in the bag.

Ashley must be a fucking arsehole to do business with, because let’s say new owner stumped up the reported 350m.. As long as they kept us up, they could skim 20m/30m a season easy off the TV money (if image below figs are correct) for a few years and worse case scenario you would be able to flog us again (if you wanted out) to recoup 200-250m.. As long as we were run relatively tight, there would still be a decent wedge left to spend each year (plus any ticket / sponsorship/merch rev).. ashley just doesn’t want to sell, or is a complete wanker to deal with.

Ryder really has his finger on the pulse of the fanbase.

Anyone for mangled cliches?

I always thought Hughton was one of the good guys. He stood up to Ashley about the players bonuses which ultimately lead to him being dismissed

You can bet your mortgage that any compo will come off the Transfer kitty

Paleface speak um powerful medicine words

tbf there’s no sense of panic as no one gives a flying fuck.

Just think... that cunt has more money than me, you or most people on this forum could hoy together in the entire lives

Now on Saturday morning, The Mail are saying that they have been told Martin Dubravka is ‘unsettled’ and that Manchester United Tottenham and Aston Villa are all keen. The report states that Monaco and Porto are also interested.

Get a life Dougle, if aa shake me heed it might faal off.
