  1. There'd be a long gardening period but aye. Never liked the slimy fella anyway, seems as loyal as he looks. Also his brother went to work for Spartak Moscow six months after the monsterous invasion.. what kind of a KGB shill does that?
  2. "JG concluded that he has been a supporter for over 50 years and before Christmas, he was very enthusiastic about the season. However, the NUFC arrangements and off-field changes have now resulted in him feeling deflated and he no longer looking forward to games, home or away, which he suspects is a sentiment shared by thousands of others."
  3. I remember The Don and Meth actually caving in and ordering some new seats, which the fans had to install themselves. Pretty sure nobody thought of simply giving the old ones a good clean.
  4. Danny Murphy is not an Ashworth appointment is he? He replaced Derek Wright which was before Ashworth arrived I think. edit: just read previous posts, nevermind
  5. I thought so too until I watched them last night. They are beyond terrible and Mick Beale is a charlatan.. still dreading it of course
  6. All the youngesters loaned to Vitesse, Girona or wherever

    Finally! A sweet left foot! This is the most exciting deal for me this window. Hopefully he continues to develop and impress and makes the LB position his. A dribbler with a fine cross should help the balance in the team a lot.
  8. They also mention that the 95% wages/turnover ratio for that accounting year is inflated due to Bruce's compensation and the hiring of Eddie's team.
  9. The Athletic's take on the last accounts mentions it vaguely: A staggering £14.2m was also added into that pot covering “onerous employment contracts”, which essentially means writing off the wages of players who are no longer considered part of the first-team squad. That is likely to include Jeff Hendrick, Ciaran Clark and Dwight Gayle. https://theathletic.com/4375304/2023/04/05/newcastle-united-accounts-explained/
  10. We might also be very close to UEFA's 90% limit of wages/turnover.
  11. Good planning sir.. you'd find that the Barracks is the perfect accomodation for the heavy smoker. You get a wristband upon entrance and after that you are free to go back downstairs as often as you wish before the game and at halftime. Not sure if it's a designated area but there's always people smoking near the side entrance.
  12. Veeery badly handled by the club. I recognise that there are big staff changes and all kinds of restructuring happening in the background, but this ticketing process can be detrimental to the atmosphere in the ground and throughout the fanbase in general, during the WHOLE season. Random allocation is simply the easiest route that they could have gone into and coupled with the delay.. this is really pushing it. The hospitality tickets were out today. As a foreign fan this has always been one of the easier options to attend a game and plan a trip in advance.. not anymore - I've had all sorts of trouble with the availability (some games sold out within seconds, then reappeared in random refreshes), gateway timeouts during the payment process (prompting more refreshes and uncertainty if the card has been charged) and since the afternoon - a server error which indicates that the system is not working at all for anybody. Hopefully we tear all this legacy shit up and start afresh next summer.. with new software and more empathy and respect for the matchgoing fans.
  13. Such a lovely hard working, humble guy. Brilliant to see the respect he received in this beautiful stadium. It's amazing how he still refuses to speak a word of english
  14. He was amazing in the deeper Bruno role in the first half.. we have a player for sure
