Sadly I think it hurts him whenever we do something right now, he probably hated this transfer window, it no doubt wound him up Ashley/Llambias doing some really good business so he has been lashing out.

 

It's a shame but his never ending argument seems to have become his main focus :(

It's shocking how many "fans" like that there are in SJP.

Eh?

 

Never seen a happier stadium than at the full time whistle on Saturday.

 

Yup.

 

Winning games against good opposition, especially when theres a sub plot, (relegation, new arrivals, Ba), in the 90th minute are like Hens teeth.

 

You could even understand the lap of honour. A cracking game and atmosphere that will live with the new boys in particular, forever.

Anyone see the tweets off Cabaye's wife recently? One of her mates sent her a tweet saying Cabaye could be captain in June and she replied 'or even a better move' . They asked City or United and she said either would be good.

 

Could be nowt or he could have been told he can leave in June if the get a big offer for him

Would anyone be that surprised if a couple of players went in the summer for big money though?....half a dozen Frenchies in January don't pay for themselves...

 

Derek Llambias: 'We have no need to sell players'

by Mark Douglas, The JournalFeb 8 2013

 

DEREK Llambias has railed against the perception of Newcastle United as a selling club and insisted: “We’ve got no appetite to sell our big players.”

 

Ever since they brokered the £35million sale of Andy Carroll to Liverpool, United have been stereotyped as a club that buys players on the cheap from the Continent and sells them on for a quick profit.

 

But despite almost constant speculation linking their crown jewels with a move away, the only significant sale since the summer of 2011 has been Demba Ba, who was able to leave for Chelsea in January by virtue of a contract clause inserted when he joined Newcastle.

 

Managing director Llambias insists that observers have “missed the point” completely when considering Newcastle’s business model and that during the current phase of their development there is no pressing need to sell.

 

Although they are open about “trading” when the price is right, he says the club has now cultivated an image as “difficult” sellers who will not budge if a certain valuation isn’t met. “People get us wrong,” Llambias told The Journal. “Everyone is missing the point. We do need to trade at some stage but not really at this stage.

 

“The perception is that we buy cheap and sell at a huge price, but that’s not correct. It’s lovely if you can do that, by the way, but it’s not what we do. To be honest we haven’t got an appetite to sell.”

 

Asked directly about reports linking Hatem Ben Arfa (pictured left) with a move away from St James’ Park, Llambias said Newcastle were primed for more speculation this summer.

 

 

He warned that the club would never be “easy sellers” in his time in charge.

 

“You’re going to get speculation all the time, like we did last summer. All those links are going to get brought up again – nothing is going to change,” he said. “Are we primed for it? Absolutely, we’ll have

 

discussions at the time. But we’re not easy sellers, we’re known for that. And these are all big players.”

 

While United aren’t easy sellers, they are also considered buyers and Llambias says they are unlikely to buy any more “purples” this summer unless they do decide to sell.

 

United’s colour coding system categorises “purples” as first-team players, “reds” as developing players or those underneath the first team challenging and “blues” as up-and-coming youngsters.

 

Llambias told The Journal the club’s focus this summer is on “reds” – although they will replace any frontline talent with a player of similar calibre.

 

“We will trade. If we lose a player, we will bring one in of that standard. That’s just normal trading for us.

 

“The remit for us is that Alan needs a number of players into the team that he can draw on for the various competitions.

 

“That’s our gameplan.

 

“You can’t have too many players that are first-team players sitting on the bench, there’s a balance, you need to have players just behind them pushing the first team.”

 

Llambias feels that, despite the criticism which inevitably comes Mike Ashley’s way, supporters are beginning to be won over by their strategy of laying foundations for stability.

 

He said: “Having a responsibility for this club, you’re always going to be open to some form of criticism.

 

“That is what the game’s about – you can’t have all these glowing appraisals of how you run your club.

 

“It doesn’t work like that.

 

“I do occasionally read the comments on the blogs and on the local paper websites – I understand some of that.

 

“But I was on the train this week and a couple of guys came up to me and started talking to me.

 

“They appreciated what we were doing and that we’re trying to do something the club’s not done before financially.

 

“This club needs to be solid. It needs to be solid, not just financially, but as a team – a management team. We think we’re getting there.”

“We will trade. If we lose a player, we will bring one in of that standard. That’s just normal trading for us.

 

What I stated remains the case, this is exactly what I mean. If the right offer comes in we'll sell. That's how we finance the likes of January's spending. Nowt wrong with it, and if a couple of players do leave for big money and are replaced with players of the calibre we've seen in the last couple of years there won't be too many complaints. The only thing about this is wages. If the money coming in for players is also used to be able to increase the wages on offer, if we're canny we can attract an even better quality of player. No real way of knowing what the wage ceiling is atm, but its probably fair to say that we punched above our weight last season on wages paid to performance ratio. 5th was phenomenal, helped by some very sharp scouting and transfer fees paid....also knowing what is in a player's contract helps.

Just twitter rumours so far but Mid East investors allegedly in talks.

 

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley and his advisors have held meetings with Middle East group regarding full takeover of #NUFC. Early stages

 

Wouldn't be a big surprise given the way the prem is growing, the TV money etc.
