First month into a new season & its quite impressive 19th in the league, most goals against & out of the League Cup.

Luke Edwards of The Telegraph via Twitter: “Information from multiple sources at Newcastle United is Bruce will continue to be backed (not financially clearly) and is not under any threat short to medium term.

Shearer on MOTD “I hate what my club is, or has become. “It has been a long time now. “It is a hollow and it is an empty football club. “There is no hope or ambition and I’m pretty sick of it to be honest. “It is copy – paste – repeat, every season.” Gary Lineker: “What could change it?” Alan Shearer: “Well they give players that have been at the football club new contracts because they can’t sell them on. “Then they have the excuse they can’t bring other players into the football club because those players are being paid a salary. “It is cheaper to keep them on the books rather than buying other players. And the fans deserve better. “Every manager has the same problems. “As I say, it is copy – paste – repeat, every season.

The Leeds presser next week could be good if he's asked about the holiday again 😁

Ronaldo starts, so does " Big Jow" 😁

Sky Bet are offering 14/1 for a Newcastle win 😁

No it was definitely Virgin it was just an upstairs room really. This would have been about 1975

Yet France Spain Germany The Netherlands Sweden United States All deem the vaccine safe enough to vaccinate their kids

I'm still a bit puzzled as to why school kids aren't going to be vaccinated, when everyone else has been offered it.

Bruce was probably told by Ashley to have a little moan to the media as a smokescreen.

Was in Ridley place in town in the 70's. Virgin records had a tiny shop next door. When Spudulike shut the Ridley Place shop it was taken over by the record shop Listen Ear.

UK has recorded a surge of 42,076 new Covid infections and 121 deaths on Friday. The latest Covid figures have been released as new virus strain Mu has landed in the UK and has been designated a variant of interest by WHO.

So Ashley's paying out more in wages than he's taking in. I doubt that very much

Its reedicu, redick, its pathetic.

All tied to the club for years https://www.nufc.com/2021-22html/squad.html

£44 million for wages still leaves a massive profit

"Big Jow" top earner on 86.5k a week = 4.5 million a year fucking hell man https://www.spotrac.com/epl/newcastle-united-fc/payroll/

The Choudhury thing was never happening as... Newcastle looked to quash any lingering speculation as early as 10.50am on deadline day by briefing that the club's business was done.

On signing Willock... Bruce said: “We went above and beyond. It has been difficult for clubs in terms of money and fair play to Lee. We got there. Our patience and doggedness was key... we never left it alone. Difficult with having made roughly 140 million since the end of last season.

9.6 million off the wage bill with outgoing players. 40% off the sell on fee for Armstrong (6 million) Then 126 million prize money for last seasons 13th place finish in the Premiership.Roughly 141 million, minus 25 million for Willock. Gives a profit of just over 115 million.

With players out of the club this window, I read the other day that its knocked 200k a week off the wage bill, about 9.6 million a year. Add that to the Armstrong sell on clause money about 6 million. Add that to the Premiership prize money of 126 million for finishing 13th. Added together its just over 140 million, minus 25 for Willock. Thats a tidy profit of over 115 million for Ashley. Its fucking sickening the neglect of failing to strengthen the team while making a massive profit again.

Main feature in the Chronicle today, it opens with... What to expect today? It truth, from a Newcastle perspective, very little.
