Lee Charnley

A lot has changed since Pardew was appointed. Lambias, the man who made that nepotistic appointment, has fucked off to Rangers. Graham Carr, the sole shining ray of hope in the club hierarchy, seems to have grown in standing and influence. Our finances are in better shape. Its not that difficult to be optimistic about the managerial situation. We did interview Remi Garde, remember.

Ok. You're a fucking troll.

I would honestly get a better conversation about football out of my mother.

You make it sound as though Charnley has had absolutely no influence on the club and its standard array of ludicrous decisions over the last 10 months he's been in charge. He's been at the club for around 16 years, so don't tell me he's just finding his feet. You only have to look at the statements he's put out in his time as MD (including on his first day) to know he's just as fucking clueless as Ashley and the rest of the cunts he's appointed.

Clueless or not he's unshakeably pliable and utterly complicit. Someone to make the day-to-day decisions that will see his salary rise as Ashley's financial targets for the club business are satisfied.

Ooo, our finances are in better shape.

We can give our "balance sheet champions banner" another airing soon. Goody gumdrops. 

This is why things will never change, far to many fans think like this guy, deluded and "let's see what happens in the next window" mentality. Stopped my season ticket this year, totally depressed the thought of not going but just had enough.  Charnley is yet another bullshit mouthpiece appointed by Ashley.

We have evidence since the start of Ashley's ownership at the club that we are constantly lied to and given false hope and promises yet some people continue to believe it'll get better and things might change - idiots.

The contempt of the fans is unreal, what other business in the world could treat its customers like this and get away with it, only in football could it happen and they fact that we let it is tragic.

yup, way too many deluded fans at our club for anything to change, sad times.

Has all of the hallmarks of a John Carver appointment.

Just wait until we release our financial results,  there will be another smug statement.

Nothing wrong to give vote of confidence. All of you who like to whine about things please hold the thoughts until we are mathematically safe.

You bald, speccy bastard.

Get out of our club

Damning with the faintest of praise when Ethi's agreeing with you like.

Starting to really dislike this puppet.

Promises to improve communication. Comes out from under his rock to communicate and doesn't update fans on the manager search that is the single most important issue at the club. It's almost as if there is no manager search.

There isn't a manager search, its Carver.  Carver has the gigg.

Charnley better hope his bird isn't reading the comments like.

 

He's got a bird?!

 

If you can't get a girl to fuck you when you're managing director of Newcastle United, you really need to give up on life.

 

The fact that he's got that title and is still hanging out the back of that moose shows he can't even sell himself very well, so no wonder he's doing such a shit job for Newcastle.

I thought it was the NUFC Press Liaison Wendy Taylor??

“On that basis we felt that some of the chants that were aimed at him at the Crystal Palace game were not helpful or indeed deserved.

 

“What we would ask is for the final 13 games the supporters get behind John and get behind the team.

 

“We acknowledge that what happened at Palace was from a small group of fans, but we would encourage everyone to focus on getting behind John and the staff and team. It will make a real difference.”

 

f*** off c***. Cheek of this guy.

The bit that really bites is that he had ample opportunity and funds to 'get behind John' by signing a player or two there by making JC's job significantly easier. Him and the fat f**k didn't bother but they still want everyone else to make the effort.

Ok, for the sake of argument. Lets imagine you're in his shoes:

 

Several highly rated managers will be available in the summer. The candidates available in January are Remi Garde, Bernd Schuster and Bruno Labaddia. Garde wants his coaches from Lyon, but they don't want to release them until the summer. Ashley is too much of a tight b****** to force their hand now. The possibilty of an interim manager is floated but Ashley won't release funds for it when we can just appoint one of the coaches to the same role.

 

This leaves four options. 1) Appoint Schuster 2) Appoint Labaddia  3) Leave Carver in charge until the summer 4) Leave Beardsley in charge until the summer

 

What would you have done?

OK what you do is approach de Boer or Garde or Tuchel or Benitez and get them signed up on a pre- contract ready to annoucne at the end of the season. You tell the fans and Bob's your uncle.

Curb your enthusiasm

You will love your club and Ashley better after that.

Incandenza is showing severe "battered wife syndrome".

How many times do they club have to slap you down, tell you you're worth nothing and refuse to look the side you're on? We've been in this relationship for over 7 years and if you can't tell by now that this is how they are, that we're already seeing the real them, you're a lost cause my friend. Thinking "Oh, but they might change" is a waste of time and energy.

Yes, it's not an easy relationship to get out of because it's probably more like an abusive parent or child than a partner you can actually walk away from. But you have to see them for what they are and stop enabling and supporting this kind of behaviour from them because, let me tell you: THEY WILL NOT CHANGE.

Never fully understood this well at least Ashley has improved our finances and stabilised the club.

Considering we are by default getting an extra 50 million a year due to the ridiculous TV money, it would take some ridiculous financial moves to send us into the red. Ashley has just been extremely lucky that he is currently residing over the most lucrative years in the leagues history and it due to get even better.

If he isn't making record breaking profits every year for the club then there is something massively wrong.

We have more debt than when he first arrived, fact.

The debt has not been reduced year on year despite increased revenues year on year, fact.

We pay interest on the loans through SD advertising in the stadium, fact.

How anyone can defend the finances clearly has no clue about what's actually happening.

Aye exactly. Like hiring someone as your personal financial advisor on the basis that they'd previously won the lottery and therefore knew their stuff.

It's basically been the case from the start. He hasn't necessarily made better financial decisions than Shepherd, he just had the money in the bank to cover his back when he lost the club a fortune by getting us relegated.

Has anyone seen a Chronicle article where they have been critical of the lcub in any way lately? Not talking about matches either, just seen a Chron bloke suggesting they dont write pro club stories and have pages of words against them

I don't really understand why the local press aren't constantly hammering the club. They have nothing to lose, they don't have any decent sources anyway and they constantly lie.
