Aye you're right there. The only thing I can think of is PIF are waiting for the outcome of the Man City challenge to the related parties sponsorship rules. That doesn't help us this summer but tbf no one is paying 10 million a season for Newcastle's training kit

Were all those at the time fucked by PSR though? I said at the start of the window that I didn't think we'd get all we want/needed. When the local journos say stuff like "Newcastle still affected by significant PSR issues" it means we haven't got the money to properly move to the next level. Ashley's tightness inspired transfer boom at the start of the takeover period has been over for two years. Could we have done some things better/ differently? Yes. But here we are...

Him and Ornstein did the same earlier in the week when we made our offer for Etikike. On that occasion though I think there's a good chance their instructions came directly from the media relations department of Liverpool FC

The other day my niece showed me that app where you can record a video from any other app and use it for your own dastardly spells!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

😨 What witchcraft is this??!! Is it the same at Shazam? 🧐

I have checked all social platforms and can assure all Musk averse posters it's only on X https://x.com/NUFC/status/1946300267588202737?t=9dGlM4T2I_hXQcCjscSwfg&s=19

£71mill with one year left on his contract 🤣 Mind that makes Wissa fairly unlikely. Think he might want to follow Thomas to Spurs anyways if he does move 😑

He's not even doing the voice... the best thing about it is Al Needham's theme tune anyway

Eddie Howe's MUMSNET MAGS! 😆✊

Oh dear...I think @Howmanheyman will want to see you in the punishment cell for that infringement of TT user policy 😳

Why did Mitchell leave again?...

I may well be prepared to forego the dubious pleasures of Wolves at home...are you thinking of coming down?...

Invite still open mate 😘

I remember saying it's either a teenager or an oldie who would be happy to play 2nd fiddle to get a chance of champions league football

We made it clear to Pedro he was second choice around the time we signed Isak..he's maybe never forgiven us for that.Its not beyond the realms of possibility that Etikike might be about to stiff Liverpool, just as Lavia, Enzo and others have recently... 😅

Yeah. I think my brother might be in the scenes filmed at Gala Tech... that kid Beebs, his real name is David Ross, he was in my brother's year at Kelso High. Fuck knows what happened to him...

We flew from Bournemouth to Frankfurt Hahn for the Bayer Leverkusen game in 2002. This encouraged some of our Geordie mates to fly to Frankfurt too rather than the very much closer Cologne

FTAO @Gemmill there's been a film made based on the life of another acquaintance of mine from my younger day

Aah yes, we used to run into Brinsley whilst he was walking his dog on the beach at Canford Cliffs

No, the Kelso side of my circle are British Lions rugby players and TDF cyclists. Am talking about the Sandbanks gang who are in positions of power at Newcastle United and Liverpool FC Edit: also Simon Francis, DOF @AFC Bournemouth 👍

Look, I know some of you are jealous of the circles I move in. You and Gemmil should come down here for a weekend. I could show you around. Introduce you to my social group. They're a lot of fun and very well connected to the upper management echelons at two premier league clubs

Can I just point out something that is very likely utterly irrelevant but is an interesting side show to all this.... Liverpool's Sporting Director is one of Eddie Howe's best friends
