Lee Charnley

He sounds truly inspiring. He was Llambias' understudy, IIRC, which means he should be an improvement on JFK, at least.

 

Yes a secretary to a casino manager should be an improvement on a drunk. I wonder who they will hire to run the next big corporate bash at St James? A plumber?

'False expectations lead to disappointment and frustation.'  What fucking expectations Lee?  We have none any more.  Your wanker of a boss has removed any hope of forward momentum.  What an appalling statement that is on so many levels.  The contempt the owner, board and management show for the supporters of NUFC is fucking disgraceful.

If the statement of one or two players per season is after a major investment and squad revamp this summer then fine.  If no major rebuild then we're are as good as down.

 

Bleed the fuckers dry of money I say.

At many other clubs around europe they would be f***ing chased out of town afraid of their lives. Without doubt!

 

Especially in Italy where many a club president has been threatened.

 

I think Lazios ultras are currently boycotting the club iirc

He talks about the league/transfer windows like they aren't changing markets.

 

You can't possibly plan ahead like Charnley is suggesting "We'll buy 1 or 2 this year, then the same next year...". It just doesn't work like that at all.

I like his honesty. It's not great reading in terms of ambition, but at least he's not lying. Nothing was going to change because we appointed him, or someone else, it's the owner that's the issue here, at least this guy seems switched on.

 

The only thing you can hope for is behind the scenes he's pushing to get rid of Pardew, of course if he is or isn't he'd not say in a statement, neither would he say we've actually got money to spend either or it leaves a door open to being mugged. Again a couple of additions a year signals were after players, but talks of rebuilds only unsettles the current squad, lowers their values and raises the values of potential targets. It's all very sensible talk, suppose loony statements while slagging of ex players and calling our current ones by the wrong name is just more Nufc than this.

 

I'm going to give him a chance.

"We don't look at transfer windows in isolation, but rather as a full trading year, and our intention for the first team is to sign one or two players per year to strengthen the squad."

 

Utterly depressing and baffling. One in in the summer, maybe one in in the winter.  I suppose anyone who leaves who they didn't plan on replacing will have their position filled by a reserve team player.

Same statement from every other year, means fuck all seeing as we've signed no one for 18 months.

 

If we are unwilling to go above our valuation we simply don't buy, as we've seen. Utterly depressing and predictable, just like out managers football tbh.

This was the attendance of lazio vs atalanta last month, lazio fans were protesting against president claudio lotito

The bottom line for me is: I don't really care if we only sign 1-2 players a year, if we prioritise the league, if we prioritise a solid economy, as long as we play attractive, entertaining football. In other words; if we were to replace the manager with a good, positive one I wouldn't give a s*** about statements like this one. Basically.
