Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official
Alex replied to The Mighty Hog's topic in Newcastle Forum
Seeing him skint would be even better. -
I think even when Arsenal were winning things with a lot of bargain buys (relatively-speaking) in Wenger’s early days as a manager there they were still near the top in terms of wages paid.

The Entirely Reasonable Potential Transfers Thread
Alex replied to Ayatollah Hermione's topic in Newcastle Forum
He’s literally the embodiment of everything that is wrong with way Ashley has run the club. An over the hill perma-crock signed because he was free and to try and appease the halfwits who would view him as some sort of returning hero. Beyond being a promising (and clearly talented) youngster who we somehow got an absolute fortune for, he really never achieved much here in the grand scheme of things. However, even that dwarfs what he’s gone on to do since leaving. Factor in that he’s an absolute knacker who’d cause trouble in an empty house and I think it’s safe to say you and I differ somewhat on this matter -

I guess almost everyone is selectively moral. I suppose the difference is some people accept it’s virtually impossible to live in western society and not be. You can still have misgivings about things and realise there’s fuck all you can do about it. Then on the flip side there’s a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites who are essentially just using this as a front for their displeasure at us having an owner with money to burn. They’re bankrolling the House of Saud and others of equally dubious morals every time they go to the petrol pump -

Fuck the Grauniad tbh -
Can I just say at this juncture that I sincerely hope that you aren’t having to survive on 80% of your declared earnings?

I’d love to see their definition of wrong. Presumably it doesn’t include rank hypocrisy -
He was good value in most of the roles I saw him in but I always remember him from FX / Murder by Illusion (with Bryan Brown) for some reason. RIP

I wonder if parklife is still an anti-vaxxer. My guess is he’s offering chez Dom Pérignon enemas as we speak (and he gargles) -

The same bloke was complaining when we played defensively against Man City. Presumably we’re supposed to have a limited squad but still play expansive football and get twatted against the top sides and still be happy. Not to mention the fact that when Liverpool dominated European and English football in the late 70s and 80s they did so by buying all the best players and outspending everyone else whilst being bankrolled by the Moores family -

Chinese best equipped to take advantage post-lockdown?

As well as what ewerk said, I just get the feeling he needs the money so isn’t in that strong a bargaining position. Given his history I can’t imagine him selling unless he thought he had to -
Whilst potential damaging at the best of times if the story about Bridget not washing her hands gets out it could finish her career atm

I doubt lockdown is much different to normal for him. Or the people in his cellar -

I can well believe the figure for Man Utd though -

I think it would be reasonable to keep Bruce until the end of the season given where we are. With that in mind I hope their first act is to sack him with immediate effect -

The government are happy to sell arms to them, Saudi money is fucking everywhere but we’re supposed to be the ones bearing the brunt of this faux moral outrage. Or something -

They seem to love Ashley so maybe he should buy them
