I notice that there was no mention of what cash would be taken out though. He never once says "and I wont withdraw any dividends for myself". Dont get me wrong, he would be more than entitled to if he wished, its his club but saying he'll put 20mill in and at the same time taking 30mill out would put us 10mill down.

Eh? What? With all due respect, have you been living under a rock chap? There were 43 people killed and they are still recovering bodies I'm led to believe. Death toll expected to reach 70. I'm off to do my bit and help look for the missing people. Few freebie crispy pancakes in it for the volunteers no doubt. Cheap skates. And all the time Ally is worried about the 15k that his company is owed donating it to the relief fund would be the right thing to do.

Thats sweet. Almost brought a tear to my eye.... Japs?

That and surrounding himself with people who dont have the first clue about running a football club. He started well, pull in a likable bloke who knows whats what in the sporting world and can deal with people. After that it all went to shit, personally I dont believe the parting was amicable between Ashley and Mort. From what I heard Mort had to chase Ashley for Freshfields fees as they werent being paid. He (Ashley) and Lambrini arent used to having to deal with the customers. Lambretta normally would wander down to the gaming tables once a week or so, shake the hand of some high roller and have a glass of Chablis with some high profile mug whos just lost his shirt then go back to his office and forget about them mugs until he has to do it next week. Now its different, his job should be based on facing the fans, being the public face of the club. Yes we all mocked the stuff Shepherd said at these meetings that all the chairmen goto but what happens now I wonder? Does Lalalalabamba open his mouth when there? or does he even bother attending?

Have you seen our home record? One of the questions is confusing me, can anyone explain? "I enjoy watching a well executed performance by my team" sorry the concept is lost on me there, whats one of those?

This is where I find it hard to get myself into a corner against Ashley. I wonder if what he is doing is actually good for the club. We all know the wages are too high and income from tv could go tits up soon. Unless one has their head in the sand, the overwhelming scare is of clubs being in deep financial shit and the prospect for the future being bleak. There is a chance that in a year or so, Ashley could well turn round and say, 'That's why I was doing the things I did' and we could well thank him for it (I know this view is probably flawed but I just wonder what is going to happen financially in the next year or so for football). However, HOWEVER, Ashley chose Wise and co over Keegan (from what we think we know) and that is extremely hard to stomach for me. Thing is if Shepherd had been the one doing it then you could think fair enough, its needed but why take over a football club because "you want to have a bit fun" then cut everything back to the bone because of economic sensibilities? It doesnt make any sense (or at least not to me). If he'd bought us for the reasons he said he had then he wouldnt be doing this. Wheres the fun in economic stability?

Whens the last time you saw it like?

see this is why we dont do these things anymore.

Its a good job they are though, Ive just been doing some digging on the average attendances and its a worry. 05/06 our average was 52,049 In 06/07 it dropped by 2.7% to 50,662 then last year it went up to 51,321 so far this year (and I acknowledge its not a fully valid statistic as its not at the end and we havent played 3 of the big 4 at home yet) but its dropped so far to 47,434 thats a drop of 7.6%

Back on topic Can anyone seriously say that they trust Ashley to get it right? I know theres half of AN other message board that do and one maybe two on here but can anyone explain it to me? Can any of those give me two examples of things said or done in last 3 months that have been true?

We need to sell someone first.

what the fuck makes a 16 year old Chelsea fan come onto a Newcastle board, pretend to live in Plymouth and talk about how much better the atmosphere is here than in the Emirates? wind ups they aint what the used to be

I thought we were talking Terry Hibbert

is ablaze. West moor smells like crispy pancakes!

not on your own tbh Think of poor Meenzer he just ordered a dozen boxes

Just like Swansea and Cardiff ? The Taffs dont count though, they know their place, sometimes your lot seem to think you're bigger than them note the wink Ritchie, note the wink!!!!!!!!!

to be fair Celtic and rangers are both pish Imagine losing/drawing to teams the standard of St Mirren and Aberdeen etc or those being your "big games" of the season you must love those first few weeks of the season when actual real footballers visit and put you out of europe Yea just like last season then We played more euro games than Mhank Utd Old Firm dropping points is generally rare though is starting to happen more frequently, with all the money in the premiership Rangers and Celtic would become massive and would be a real force within 5 years max. But we all know yous English clubs are too scared of that prospect Well move Glasgow into England then.

Im of the opinion that JFK hasnt done much wrong football manager wise, hes no master tactician, no genius of football and definitely nowhere near the quality of Keegan but at the end of the day he took on a job that nobody else would (at the same time we took on a manager that nobody else would, match made in heaven) and worked at it. However, his desperation to take a job has meant hes either willing to spout any old shite hes told to or made him so naive that he actually believes the shit hes being told. I do believe though that as soon as he no longer has a job here then he'll tell us what really went on.

Geremi anyone?

http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Smith-crit...stle.4842236.jp I am sick of being treat like a muppet by this lot, why come out and say we've enquired about a player when we clearly havent? Just shut your fucking mouth Kinnear and get on with the job of keeping this club alive. Let Dennis make statements about what hes doing with this player and that, hes the one deciding let him open his mouth once in a while.

So basically that reports says "we will now train our astronauts more so that if the same thing happens they can be alive for longer yet still know that ulitmately theyre about to die." cool. *cancels application to astronaut school*

I know the pic you mean but I dont think he was Iraqi. wasnt he a Palestinian or something?

They slagged him off and put abusive (and childish) poems about him on the website, why exactly should he meet with them? thats not half of what i would have done , and as life long fans , they had every right to meet him . nusc is backed by a large portion of paying fans who have every right to say things how they see them and demand a meeting with the fat cunt . Isn't the membership around 150? Out of 52,000? They called him every name under the sun then expected him to jump when they clapped. Why exactly should he meet them? I think the economy is a bit shit, therefore I demand a meeting with Gordon Brown. They slagged him off and put abusive (and childish) poems about him on the website, why exactly should he meet with them? Ahh wondered how long it would take for you to turn up shitstick Indeed, given I've made about 3 posts on here in the past 2 years. £10 for a keyring and a membership card You know what gives me so much enjoyment from doing this? the fact it puts the shits up you and that other one so much. Two makems who have nothing on their minds but the NUSC You're obsessed and that tells me you're shitting bricks that it works. Keep up with the maths though sonna

Theres a chinese and a kebab/chippy in the railway arches on the Gateshead side of the High Level bridge, cant remember the Chinese name but the kebab is AliGeez. Spot on grub and you get enough in one portion for two people.
