I am quite satisfied with Ashley’s administration’s temperament and lack of shortsightedness. Buying another Luque, Emre, Smith, or Boumsong (all without or past their prime) was horrific business, and Shepherd, Souness, Roeder, and Big Sam were equally as dismal. I think the last intelligent and significantly expensive purchase we’ve made was Shearer. Look back and think about the types of players Robson took 4th with…

Ashley and his minions are clearly trying to expel these irresponsible financial tactics, but it willing to back Keegan. Did it ever occur to you that Keegan is the picky one? I almost guarantee Aimar would have signed for Newcastle before Benfica, but Keegan saw him as another poor piece of business, digression, or waste of money. The same goes for Bassong, and whomever else he has considered this summer.

It’s time for everyone to stop considering these millions of pounds directly from Ashley’s pocket as useless and for everyone’s sake, stop referring to him as a “vampire” and the like. This is probably the first time in a long while that Newcastle are progressing in all tiers of the club, and that hopefully includes the premiership table.

Think what you may, but I am excited about this youthful, stable, and committed squad and the future that will accompany it. Being negative only perpetuates our lack of content.

Expecting top 6 this term is a lofty goal, and not satisfying it will only disappoint. I prefer to expect less, and when we do finally succeed, times will be ever so sweet. Patience is a virtue, but foresight and respect are principles of any business.

As for us netting 6 Million at the start of last season where do you get that from?
IN
Barton £6M
Rozenhal £3M
Smith undisclosed (rumoured at £5M)
Enrique £6m
Faye £2m
Beye £2m

Total = £24M
(rest were frees)

OUT
Parker £7M
Dyer undisclosed (rumoured at 7M)
Solano undisclosed (rumoured at 1M)

With Huntingdon and O’Brian going for less than a million between them
That would mean we got a combined £14 Million for Pattison and Luque
If Ashley got that much for them – then fair play, he earned his 6 Million quid.
I think if you look again you might see that he spent a net of 6 Million on players! but hey him forking out 6 Million for the club, fleecing the club for 6 Million, dont let something as trivial as justifying your claims get in the way of a good bit of criticism.

I agree with you
Every club in PL can keep buying and keep running well, why not us?
Last season we just made around 6M net spending by Big Sam
Why we have no money to buy player this season?
Mike Ashley bought the club for around 200M and paid around 80M to cover the debts so it is totally 280-300M, but the investment company from US and UAE willing to pay 400M to buy Newcastle from Mike Ashley
If Newcastle have serious financial problem, why investors are willing to buy it? They are idiots?
F***ing Ashley treats Newcastle as an earning business and only wants to get as much profit as he could from the club!

I honestly hope my opinion has changed also!!
More than anyone would believe!!

Many argue the club is falling behind – relegation fight blah blah blah. The 5 teams ahead of have made 5 total transfers – two of them not doing anything. Our team became good at the end of the season – and with the right players than perhaps we can push onwards and upwards. It will not kill us to be stuck in midtable for another year as our players get more experience and we get to use more of our younger players.

I however realise your passion for our team Angryman and really hope by Christmas your view has changed for the better in that we have made major steps forward as a club and are producing good performances on the pitch.

Only time will tell tbh how our club’s future will turn out .

Is that your opinion by any chance???
Okay then, i respect it, BUT. Please explain….Why am i not allowed to voice mine??
