peasepud 59 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Tony Blair has admitted the shambles unfolding at Newcastle United is a "tragedy" for the club's fans. Blair, who famously showed his skills playing head tennis with Kevin Keegan, said: "It is a tragedy what has happened. We have to got to regroup, reassert ourselves and move back up again." But the former Prime Minister stopped short of putting the boot into owner Mike Ashley adding: "I would not get into criticising anyone who has got into the onerous responsibility of running a football club." http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/200...15875-21515751/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just sounds like he didn't want to be publicly drawn into slagging Ashley off tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 "The people's princess." "Is my face bovvered? Face? Bovvered?" "A day like today is not a day for soundbites, really. But I feel the hand of history upon our shoulders. I really do." "he is developing weapons of mass destruction, and we cannot leave him doing so unchecked." "I think if you have faith about these things, you realise that judgment is made by other people ... and if you believe in God, it's made by God as well." Twat talks shite.

Not that I particularly like the bloke or anything but I think he'd get stick for saying stuff if he'd said Ashley was a terrible owner or whatever too. I.e. for getting involved / sticking his oar in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've got no problem with him going easy on Ashley. But I've got far more of a vested interest in Newcastle than Blair and even I don't think it's a "tragedy" No surprise to see Blair spin though.

Guest Hova Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 He probably wants to avoid a slanging match with anyone tbh, because they could just bury him with a comeback about weapons of mass destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
