Kitman 2207 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 34 minutes ago, trooper said: Charnley trying to justify the state of the traing facilities Newcastle spent over £65million this summer on transfer fees and were the ninth biggest spenders in the Premier League in terms of recruitment. "You go and spend it on the training ground it means there is less to spend on the team," Charnley added. "Spend it on the Academy, there is less to spend on the team. "Spend too much on wages, there's less to spend on the team. "That doesn’t mean we don’t spend in all those areas, because we do, but our view has been at this point in time the priority is what goes on to the field." Charnley went on: "It doesn’t mean we don't want to update the training ground. Our pitches are very good, our gym is perfectly adequate and functional. Do we have a swimming pool or water facilities? No. "Would we like to have it at some stage? Absolutely." They’ve had 12 years to do something in these areas. It’s not that they can’t afford to spend on these assets, it’s because they view them as unnecessary expenditure. The idea that every spare penny has gone on first team players is a lie. Shame on you Charnley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11391 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 https://www.football365.com/news/mike-ashley-and-newcastle-the-punditry-silence-is-deafening Quote Conspiracy theories are not cool. People who have a conspiracy theory for everything are also a little bit frightening. Let’s draw a quick distinction though, because there are different grades. Believing that Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t act alone is actually quite rational. But nodding along to the manipulative rhetoric of a David Icke lecture? That categorises someone as a particular type of person. What follows falls into that first category and is intended more as an open question than anything else. Why is Mike Ashley not criticised more than he is? Why, to be more precise, is there such a disparity between the way Newcastle supporters speak of him and the reaction he engenders during discussions on television, radio and in the more visible parts of the written press? Whatever your take on that situation, it’s inarguably odd. Good read from F365 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on par with his explanations why progressing in cup competitions is bad for a football team and similar nonsensical claims in the past. I have said it a couple of times but the fact that Charnley was at the club before Ashley took over and knows what it used to be makes him a serious traitor in my eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 we can't upgrade facilities and be the free-spenders of the division in the transfer market.

Gemmill 44900 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 There was a lad in Dubai airport last week when I was waiting for the flight home. In a Newcastle strip, telling some bloke he was "overjoyed" (over fucking joyed ffs) at the return of Andy Carroll. He'll be one of the stupid twats renewing his season ticket.

Howay 12496 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 He’s honestly going to act like a Premier League football team in 2019 cannot afford a swimming pool? £5m-£10m doesn’t tend to get a good player these days but would massively improve the training and youth facilities. I’ve said in the past that his lack of interest in developing youth is illogical when compared to his usual stance of trying to profit. I know he’s impatient but when you look at a deal like Carroll, and the offer Man Utd gave for Longstaff it shows how much profit could be made and it’s one less first teamer he doesn’t have to buy until they do leave. If you have a good youth set up you can often shift players on for a few million quid to lower league sides which would probably cover the cost of running the academy anyway. But we’re 12 shit years into this idiots ownership and he’s clearly not fucking arsed, he’ll just keep trying it the way that’s got us relegated twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said previously you only need to develop a player good enough to be sold to a championship side now and again for the academy to pay for itself. Anything else is a bonus. Every club should invest on that basis alone but it’s even stupider not to given the way we operate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
