He also states that the £20m would be without expectation of return - so if say Kadal or Ranger turned out to be the next Ferdinand/Robinho and went for silly money we're expected to believe he'd have no claim on it? Fuck him.

I've copied this from a post on the SMB by a lad called MackemDale - there are a couple mackem digs and it's harsh in places but overall a fair assessment imo : 23? You were 23 before you registered England as a football team to support? Hell of a suporter there chief! Your life has been tied up with selling cheaply mad shite to sports fans. It's fuck all to do with a love of 'sport' in the slightest. Trying to suck-up to the idiot fans. Pathetic. When the fans are behind the club is akin to a little boy having a pop at the boys who don't like him. More cock-sucking. See? See how fucking amazing I am? See how I put my hard earned money into your club? Do you see? Love me. LOVE ME! So, basicaly, you didn't bother with Due Dilligence? That'd be your own fault then you fat mong. Therefore you should all love me more than Keegan. Why don't you love me? Bullshit fatboy. You bought NUFC to make money. You ARE a multi-billinaire though, aren't you? You can't aford it simply because you're not willing to throw good money after bad but you have some sick predelection of giving the mags an image of being the best thing since Jesus' ressurection. So, basically, that would be the same as every other footbal club in the fucking world then? Wow. Amazing revelation there. No, that just means you inherrited a team with contracts that fucked the club over. Tantamount to emotional balackmail. Childish at best. No-one wanted that, surely? The barcodes just want their club run to the sandards set out by Barcelona or Man Utd. None of them have delusions of grandure, do they? Again, the mags know this. As dumb as they can be - they know this shit. They just want the manager to be able to run the team as is traditional. Bringing money into the argument has fuck-all to do with the protests. All correct - none of which is relevant to the situation. What? You want to sign nobodys to appease the fans? If this were the case then where are the droves of players coming in who are in their prime in terms of age and ability and ripe for the picking from the European leagues? I couldn't trust that idiot KK to make those kind of decisions. Did KK actually buy any of these plyers himself or was it all done over his head? More emotional blackmail. I wan't Newcastle to be able to make me a profit when I sell it on. No one believes they can. They do, however, believe they should be allowed to run the team and it's relative affairs. Hang on... You're blaming the old reigime? Utterly, completely pathetic. Aye, but it's recruiting those players without it's manager's knowledge, isn't it? Nope. They just want their 'messiah' back. They automaticaly assume that because he got them to 2nd in the prem before that he has the ability to do so again - despite his own assurances that he was clueless about modern football before accepting the paycheck. With your kids? Gve me a break. You only ever turned up with your private securoty guards in barcode tops. Or a pint - alcoholic or not. Don't try bringing your children into this. You tried ingratiating yourself with the mags. It never worked. Now they fucking hate you. Don't try and hide behind some fantasy of child protection. You're shit-scared, just admit it Hahahahahaaaa. Dummy spat out. Toys thrown from pram. Grounding in reality thrown out the window. The fans only want their club run like it is down the road. A Chairman with genuine love for the ub, supporters and region. Not some fat dickweed who puts on a replica top with the name of the local legendary manager on his back who he is going to have binned in the next few days. Bullshit. You've put in more money than you'll ever ger back. You'll snap the hand off the first much that comes in with a half-decent offer. Lies - you never were. More lies. This has fuck-all to do with your family. You're trying to make everyone feel sorry for you. Again, pathetic. I'll sell to the first mug with too much money. You probably exchanged words twice. Proving you had no idea what was going on? Way to run a business. They won't all read it because they're not allable to read. They wouldn't agree with you if you said the sky was blue either. Despite the fact you've already said you'll put no more money in because the fans have been mean to you? No one wants to but the club because it's a joke. We already knew this. Please, no longer offend my delicate sensibilities. I am a poor, lonely boy. Please love me. If you're mean to me, I'll twist it into you being against the team. You rotten scum-bags. How dare you be against the team? Complete bullshit considering his previous statements of not putting any more money into the team. Lord of the mong-clowns.

Shepherd: 2 consortia have approached him about being the "name" on bids as of now but wouldn't give any more details. Ashley is a "cry baby" for whinging about the debt - he paid a market price and with the stadium, training ground and club it should have cost him twice as much. He still loves us (ahh) and we deserve success.

The question I'd like to ask him is whether he came up with stability plan before or after he looked at the books? If he thought his initial £130m would get him a debt free business would he have spent £110m on players? The reason I ask this is because as I've argued before his much vaunted plan is very sensible but for me it needed an initial splurge to get us 5-6 places up the league as a starting platform. I think his lack of football knowledge shows here in that he thinks 5 years of this steady progress would get us anywhere at all. I also think he doesn't deserve any sympathy if he expects to make a large profit on the deal - reasonable return yes - £100m+ then that shows his true colours.

I think Ant said this but it certainly occurred to me as wll - there would be absolutely nothing stopping him taking his kids into a directors/private box.

I would also ask where the £20m per season investment (aside from his initial outlay) has gone because it hasn't gone on players in the last two summers.

It seems reasonable but I don;t like the implied insults - the possible assault and the idea that we almost demand bankruptcy in pursuit of success especially. As many have said I don't think anyone thought that the general idea of the structure was flawed - the problem is that either because of failed bedding in or the personnel involved (or both) it hasn't worked well enough. I'm sick of being told we've signed some good players - we have - but nowhere near enough. If he thinks fans would rather have seen us sign Berbatov than say 4 more defenders and midfielders then he has badly misjudged us to a huge degree.

It's our fault - we demand too much don't you know. 5 years of that will see us emulate Leeds - we'll be in the championship at best.

My thoughts: 50,242 my hairy arse. The ultimate irony was that the player who did the most in terms of effort to lift the team and the club wouldn't be here if the cunts had got their way on deadline day. Xisco - nothing player but of course I'm glad he scored. The ref - usual choice - incompetent or corrupt. Guthrie - momentarily entertaining but desperately stupid. Shola - please no, not ever, again, please. The protests were well meaning but I sensed beneath them a very sad apathy. So the squad isn't good enough in terms of quality and quantity. Will the person whose task this is take responsibility for it or will he continue to never attend games. Get the poison out of my club now.

Our friend Louise reckons they met this afternoon to discuss compen but then decided to chat about a return which was why another session tonight took place.

The lad on Sunkers who has had good inside info in the past reckons Ashley was desperate to have him back but wouldn't meet the demand of removing the 3 idiots.

Flying up tomorrow due to arrive at 9:25 so need to kill an hour pre-beer - anyone got any recommendations for a good breakfast (probably English)?

Conversely if he was going to talk about something serious, I don't think mobile phone would be appropriate. Also why would there be the urgency of a Friday evening meeting for something that could be settled at any time - surely the game tomorrow is the imperative.

Ambani: "The club's in turmoil - you can fuck off" Ashley: "What if I could get Kev back?" Ambani: "Hmm...."

Being ludicrously imaginative for a moment - maybe he's selling up/getting investment in and the deal somehow involves Keegan coming back.

The Prophet Mohammed as an outsider with divine intervention.

Feel free to disagree but did anyone else think the bloke's foot didn't touch John Terry for their goal (though probably a free-kick) and that he should be held up as the odious cheat he is for claiming injury to the ref and going as far as to have "treatment" from the physio?

Perfect!!!

Beckham should be absolutely shot with shit for introducing the repeated use of "you know" into current speak.

I see France won which as I understand it means Deschamps won't be under pressure to take that job. I'm warming to the idea of him coming here (now that I've realised we have to get on with life however painful). Anyone with an insight into his CV/track record/temperament/style?

I've had 2, one was great, the other one was pissed. Genuinely never met/seen a black woman that I find attractive, not even Bouncey and her crew. What? It's true, just like I tend not to fancy girls with ginger hair. I'm failing to see your problem Tori Amos? Nicole Kidman? I thought Ron Atkinson was bad when he wrote off 700m chinese women but all blacks and all redheads/ginges is very fussy.

Anyone with an IQ over 50 knew that was a complete load of , at least with this one no one is entirely sure, just almost certainly sure. There was a lot of hysteria but there was also a shit load of work done in the run up to it which actually prevented problems.

Alex you needlessly implied that the west end was the only shit hole in the NE - Stevie can't have that ST doesn't haven't anywhere near as shit as the west end of course but we're mackems which is a whole different level of deprivation.

FYP

Lad at work confirms what Stevie said - would have to be seriously shit not to win the league in Turkey given their financial dominance - did once but failed last year - champions league was good however and made him liked.
