peasepud 59 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm just glad he's got the club's best interests at heart, otherwise this news would be cause for concern. He cares too much for the club to let anything bad happen It's him I worry about if truth be told. He's working so hard to get us out of this crisis I'm concerned that he's stopped looking after himself! shadow of his former self tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 He looks like he needs feeding up a bit. When did he last take a holiday?! He takes too much on himself-it can't be good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of sun thats what he needs, poor bairn, that and a nice bit home cooking. Locking himself away in a cold St James' office for days on end juggling figures cant be good for anyone.

Guest Eleven Donkeys Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Could the penny have dropped? Could his Royal Highness finally have worked out his business could easily be worth about £20m next season and is a desperately trying to back track? I can’t see it and it’s too late anyway. No player of any calibre is going to join NUFC during the transfer window. JFK and Ashley are obsessed with setting deadlines. There’s always some big news coming in a months time, or some player about to sign a contract by the end of the week. It never amounts to anything of course and this time will be no different. My money is on him actually using the word sorry in a futile attempt to draw a line under what I suspect will come to be known as the Joe’s Winter Bullshit Window. I too would like to see HRH Mike of Ashley address his subjects from the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. But that is just a guess, at present. btw, I have to say that the name Llambias makes my blood boil tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Following a transfer window of minimal activity and minimal net outlay on a small number of underwhelming players, Ashley will tell us how he has kept his promise of taking the club forward. It'll be interesting to see what he come up with anyway. I can't see how it can be spun positively, but I'm sure they'll try to find a way.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It'll be of along the line of: due to the current financial climate we feel that prudence in this transfer window was the best course of action for the long-term good of NUFC. Joe feels that the current squad of players are perfectly capable of finishing the season strongly and seeing us end up in a healthy league position. Don't you Joe? *kicks Kinnear under table* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6147 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Looks like Ashley left a copy of his statement lying around in a hotel... Mike Ashley's NUFC Statement - January Firstly, let me start by saying that I hope each and every one of you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas period, and a very happy New Years. I trust that you all went home smiling from the high scoring affair against Liverpool! What a cracking game. I cheered on every header, and kick and particularly enjoyed our new red strip. Joe Kinnear has really began to take the club forward, and given his excellent run of results he has my complete backing both emotionally and financially. Despite the latter this January transfer window was not as successful as we had first anticipated. In looking to strengthen our squad, the Club had been exploring a number of possibilities in the transfer window. We were particularly interested in players with a proven calibre and Championship pedigree, such is the forethinking of our Scouting Network. In addition we identified a number of already proven talents in the hope of satiating the calls from you for new players. Despite our offers of more than 50% of the players value, we were inexplicably unable to land any of these targets. This was regardless of how many times Joe leaked their physical description, or country of origin to the press. Nonetheless I trust this will have ended the uncertainty surrounding the future direction of Newcastle United. Even though the New Year is traditionally a time to look forwards and upwards, I encourage each and every one of you to do the exact opposite. Take the opportunity to purchase (from the Club Shop) a fantastic DVD, such as Newcastle United Flying High, or Newcastle United Big Hits, and relive the glorious days of the past while you snuggle up under a club blanket (from the Club Shop) and sip on a warm cocoa from a Newcastle United mug (also from the Club Shop). When I bought Newcastle United I was always committed to developing and investing in our youth structure and that has certainly continued. Our Academy side sit top of the table after a long winning streak and retain an interest in the FA Youth Cup (unlike our first team who sit nowhere near the top of the table and were knocked out of the FA Cup). To this end we will continue to buy promising young players who will endeavour to keep this side where it belongs - at the top of the table! Thankfully, as a result of rich Arabs throwing their money at proper football players I have managed to largely stay out of the press. I am no different to you all when it comes to enjoying taking my private jet to New York, where I can throw wild parties and finance impressive bar bills. Back to football. We've seen how you can drop down the ladder if you fail to win matches, and when I look at the table I notice we're only 3 points off the bottom three, and 5 points from the bottom! As you can see there is still a lot to play for. This Barclay's Premier League season, not unlike myself has been one of the tightest ever. Hope you all have a cracking evening!
