The players have completed their first day back at Newcastle in preparation for the season ahead. The club kept up with the activities of the day on Twitter sending out pictures and videos of the players.
They can be very good at communicating when it deals with things like training but it only highlights how sorely the club is lacking in other areas of communication.
However, in this case the communication with the fans was excellent as they sent out the following tweets:
? The lads have been undergoing testing with the club's medical staff this morning, with fitness work due to commence out on the training pitches over the next few days.

One gripe we would have is that the club seems to be intent on acting as if everything is normal when it definitely is not. Some communication about the proposed takeover, the manager search, or even the future plans of the club would really help to calm the fears of many supporters.
In regards to the tweets on the activities of the day, we have no complaints. Though something really needs to be said about the state of the club off the pitch at the moment.
A handful of players also got involved and sent out tweets recognizing their first day back at training. One of the ones we were very happy to see back was Florian Lejeune who sent out a tweet simply saying “First day of pre-season training!”
However, he was carrying a bag over his head and with the current state of affairs at the club we were slightly worried that he may have packed up and left. Then we realized it was a weight bag and it was being used for fitness. In all seriousness, it is great to see Florian make such strides in his recovery from his second devastating knee injury in less than a year.
Here are the tweets went out by Florian, Federico Fernandez, and Paul Dummett:

How about we have 10 minutes on the lack of merit of the white kookaburra for getting reverse swing in these English conditions .?
Happy to discuss as I know your very knowledgeable on that score , personally hate to say it but i think the sandpaper maestros will walk away with the big prize.

He doesn’t need to prove anything to me , just like you don’t need to prove your undying love for all things Nufc.
I take everything with a pinch of salt, as our club plummets to new lows. All the world must be laughing at us but all these itk’s share and it really is up to you whether you take any notice or not. I personally believe the hope they give gives me something to hold onto and if it doesn’t happen nothing worse than what we have been through under the tapeworm .
You won’t find me berating anyone for being wrong. Or even making it up.
It’s a blog it’s not a legal agreement we signed up to promising not to mislead.et him without sin cast the first stone 😉

Comment #87How do you all know that DM and his dentist pal aren’t at it, they obviously know each other, that HoT document was posted on here as if it was some top secret leaked info, it was a joke. You can’t fault his knowledge of the Arab business world but I think it’s pretty obvious he’s about as much ITK as the rest of us. He had all his info when the press were reporting and he was just verifying, now the press aren’t publishing his info has dried up.

LMAO…I’m going to play the Swiss card regarding Catchy. I’ll only occassionally read his posts just to get a giggle. I look at him kind of like Ketsy. The kind of person that you give a 1×1 rubix cube and wonder if they can solve it.

Comment #103Micky shared information, by email with Rob and Bambams, about BZG being in negotiations to buy the club. This information has come to pass. If the blog didn’t have people attacking those that share info, perhaps we would have all gotten this info back in January, instead of having to wait for the sun article. Micky also posted that funds had been transfered from Dubai to the UK in readiness to do the deal. The sale is happening, we will hear within a week. Stay positive.

Comment #113seems everyone is getting a bit weary of this takeover news (or lack of), the in fighting and bitching is getting childish and tedious, like a lot of people I have gone from massive highs of expectation to depressingly low levels of despair.
i pray for all our sanity that we hear news either way this weekend. the bottles of “Dog” in the fridge are slowly going out of date,

BE SPECIFIC.
He has quoted many people that he supposedly knows (in abstract) and nothing has panned out.
