Park Life 71 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 If you have bothered to read my post, or understood it after reading it you'd have realised that I was not saying that they form the overwhelming majority of Newcastle fans, but were a very vocal minority that could infiltrate the set up and cause problems for the club. That vocal minority werent even that before SSN turned up, they were just a handful of the usual half pissed half stoned charvers who thought they could get on telly. SSN come along and next thing you know theyve thrust a banner in their hands and orchestrated them to chant when the camera rolls. FFS they even had to be told what to shout. SSN are the reason this club is seen in the poor light it is, the fact our stadium is in the city centre doesnt help either, if we'd been stuck out on some wasteground like Bolton or on the edge of a cesspit river like the Riverside then nobody would have been around to make their mouths go. EDIT: oh and the quote that was given to me today about this Singapore lot is "muppets, total and utter muppets". I think snakehips hit the nail on the head, they've seen a chance to get some exposure and have taken it. Looks like they are cashing in on a bit of profiling.

Craig 6700 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 http://www.profitablegroup.com/group-executives.aspx FFS! Look at the state of this lot! Have the press got it completely wrong? Stephen McMahon Product Manager - Football360 Stephen played as a youth for Everton before moving to Blackpool where he served his apprenticeship. During his three years Stephen also qualified in leisure and recreation. Stephen s first professional contract followed and in his first season played over 30 games for the first team, including the win at the Millennium Stadium in the LDV Trophy where he played in front of 40,000 fans. At the end of that season Stephen received the Young Player Of The Year award from two sets of supporters groups. After his time at Blackpool, Stephen then signed for Australian A-league side Perth Glory before injuries and personal ambitions cut his career short. Stephen has a level B coaching license from the English FA and has now moved into the Strategic Sports Investment business.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 http://www.profitablegroup.com/news.aspx?id=358 The Profitable Group can confirm that it has expressed an initial interest in acquiring Newcastle United. A preliminary discussion with the representatives appointed to handle the sale of the club has been held but contrary to some reports no direct talks have been held with either the Owner, Mike Ashley, or the Chairman, Derek Lambias. The Group consider the leaking of The Group's interest in this matter unfortunate, and as supporters of Newcastle United seek only to serve in the best interests of the cluib, the fans and the local community. The Group will not be making any further comment at the present time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
