He’s that thick, he thinks this is a bad thing :lol: 

It is when the first team is lacking the quality in depth to comfortably stay up. He needs to be pulled up on the spend though as he seems to have forgotton to mention the money from selling Perez.

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.

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

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.

everything about what was newcastle united reeks of sports direct and has done for fucking years, it shows no signs of abating, the club will decline in direct parallel to his tatty shops be it his second rate sports stuff or what was house of fraser.

remember '09 and sportsdirect.com @ St James' Park Stadium?

the reality was, still is and always will be St James' Park Stadium @ sportsdirect.com, we're a subsidiary, nothing more, nothing less.

he will run it in to the ground, just like he will run his tat shops in to the ground because he's too stubborn and too much of a bully to accept he might just be doing something wrong, he doesn't give a fuck about who he'll take down with him along the way.

 

hope the cunt falls in to giant paper shredder.

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.

:lol: 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.

Aye but he keeps making a balls of things. The point is the first team needs to come first. Once the squad has depth, then the academy and other issues can be addressed.

You’re not clever enough for this.

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

Ajax got to the Champion's League semi final doing just that.
