Asprilla 96 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I meant that NUSC should try and repudiate Llambias's claims that he's met with them via an article in the Journal....don't they have a sympathetic ear there? I knew what you meant btw, I was just summarising what a cunt he is. I have to say though (apart from the NUSC bit), I've always wanted them to be more honest with us....this £8m figure at least means they're not messing about with promises that turn to nothing. Although how they think a team without Owen and only a pittance spent is going to win anything I have no idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissappointed they didn't counter any of the responses to dig deeper than the one line answers or question dodging like.

Guest alex Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Examples from elsewhere: "I read every single article on here everyday yet never feel encouraged enough to write anything. This however is possibly the best news on the club since Keegan re-signed last year". "I think that the break of silence is a great thing for the club and that most of the statements are the best we could hope for, and i am pleased that the club will be run more sensibly", "this is the start of some long awaited communication between board and supporters. I just hope Mike and his mob have learned from last time". "A very encouraging interview I thought. If Mike Ashley really does have this 5 year plan then good luck to him. "at least it seems a step in the right direction" Still reckon you're a SMB like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was bound to have some conditions, and the local rags are dutybound to take whatever opportunity they can to get whatever comments they can from the man the fans have been waiting to hear from for 8 months. I'm waiting for the opinion pieces before slating them for going soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. and within an hour of going to press llambias cancelled the meeting with the fans on Thursday Evening. so much for communication, openness and a new beginning. Really? Do you have a source because I've predicted that would happen elsewhere. I can confirm the above. The Supporters panel meeting was booked to be on Thursday and would involve Llambiarse. We have now been told that "due to last weekends events Derek would not be in Newcastle and therefore could not attend". Now what events are these? JFK being ill? us actually winning? or Derek realising the stupidity of the interview he gave? So much for communications. As for the NUSC discussions with the "club" they have gone as follows: As you all know we have attempted to get a discussion going for a while and not had any sort of response not even a "fuck off". We did get ourselves invited to a supporters panel meeting which was agreed with the club because we had a specific thing we wanted to discuss ie the problems with heavy handed stewards in Level 7. At the same time the club wanted our help (even though we're just some breakaway group not worth listening to) in finding a way to ensure people didnt stand continuously in that area, We went to the meeting, discussed the issues and then discussed the wider issue of communications, all of this was with Simon Esland (a canny enough bloke but nobody of any real importance, more a PR type man) and (unusually for the Supporters Panel ) it turns out they werent taking minutes At the end of it we agreed that we 3 or 4 members of the committee would be included in the supporters panel meetings from now on. And that is it, the sum total of 1 meeting with the club, a meeting that we virtually forced through and one which frankly had nothing to do with the state of the club or the future. A specific meeting to discuss a very real non-footballing issue. We will be putting something official together for our responses to at least the references hes made to us. Suffice to say though it will be thought out and factful not like the pile of lies and deceipt that we've just read today. As for the supporters panel though, the thing Llambias says is more representative of the fans well my personal view is that its not worth the time of day. Thats not being disrespectful to the people on there but what Im about to say may well appear that way....... There are around a dozen people on the panel, half of which I think I can safely say only turn up for the scran. Dont get me wrong there are some very committed and vocal fans on there, some faces and voices I recognise but I get the impression that until we went and shook it up they hadnt really had a chance to make their voices heard. I believe they were basically led into a question and answer session by the club for their own commercial gains. Normally the stuff that gets talked about is raised by the club and generally involves questions (I shit ye not here) such as "how can we sell more pies?", "do you think people will spend more if we change the half time music?" and "can you tell your mates to drink in Shearers?" That forum is NOT (in my personal opinion) representative of the fans, it is NOT being used to air fans views and it MOST DEFINITELY is NOT being used to discuss the future as that toad makes out in todays article. As for some other forums being taken in by that rubbish today, I would say that I dont believe it but unfortunately I know its going to be true, what gets me is that theres not even anything in there that you could see as being positive lies!

ewerk 31195 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 They couldnt give two shits about NUSC. He was worried enough to mention them several times in the opening quarter of the interview, I'd say that certainly means that they're taking notice.

Deano 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Mixed feelings about it all, i think some of it we wanted to here, but i find myself being maybe a bit cynical and thinking he is just saying that for that reason. I would like it to be true, that they realised there failings, that they are going to make ALOT more effort to communicate and be honest. And MA spending in the summer although he quoted 8 mil in the bank, you have to remember we are still making a loss, but a progressive lesser loss than last season. We have PL money and TV money to come in and big earners leaving in the summer (OWEN, VIDUKA, GEREMI, CACAPA) so surely there will be a decent amount to spend. Only time will tell whether we have turned the corner, whether they are going to take us in the correct direction. Fingers crossed eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm all for stabalising finances, but you need to keep the first team even semi-competitive.
