This is an inspiring letter from the chairman which opens with an expression of gratitude to the supporters. He then marks the first anniversary before revealing his emotions at the welcome he and his fellow owners received for their first match, which was at St. James’ Park against Spurs.
The letter then delves into the ambitious plans for the future while exuding the patience and pragmatism we’ve witnessed from the new owners. He also references the importance of adding the right people both on the pitch and behind the scenes. These owners just continue to show that they understand this club.

Comment #41Hibbitt, I may have played Ledge like a fish in your opinion, but that’s not my intention.
Ledge happily jumped on Tuffs rather odd conclusion that I think teenage girls are “fair game”
Not surprisingly I argued back, no different to Ledge or any of his buddies would do. I have a teenage daughter ffs. No wonder I’d be a angry. I didn’t ask him to get involved in the first place, but that was his choice.
If a guy like Mund fights his corner it’s passion. But if I do it’s something else? Fk that for a game of cowboys (sorry TDS, even if I know you’re right about ignoring these types etc)

Yeah I will never comprehend the Spurs big 6 thing, was always bollox in my mind. The other 5 you can make a rational case for but I can’t find a case for Spurs that stands up to scrutiny.

We must never forget it’s Eddie and his team even tho Eddie is centre stage I believe himself would say he couldn’t of done it without the incredible support he has around him…

Comment #63Dubravka on the bench. I really would have thought he was promised EL football to make him choose that switch, he really has burned his bridges, I just can’t see a world where he comes back here. Hope that Karius has a good game against Palace and we sign him instead.

Comment #68Raj,
I think Dubs is almost guaranteed to come back here as it does not look like Man Utd are going to take up the option to buy him. I reckon they are using him as a cheapish loan option as cover cos Henderson went and will buy different keeper in Summer or maybe even in Jan.
Dubs will come back here in Jan or Summer and we will sell him to someone else.

Comment #69The only reason I can think of that Dubravka wanted to leave is that he had a row with Eddie H. The manager has told him he’s bringing Pope in and will be playing him because of certain attributes and that it’s Dubs spot to win back. Dubs has thrown a tantrum and set his agent to work and they have found Man U for him, the shite house could have stayed her and been loved by the fans, now he’s just a blot on Man U’s history when they get shot of him in the summer.

Comment #70“There is no doubt that Newcastle are aiming to be a top six side in the future. Eddie Howe, his staff, and players have done a very good job so far. Last year, they stabilised the club and this year they have only lost to Liverpool”
“He has made them much more front-footed and aggressive. They press much more and are very organised in that pressure. On the ball they look very dynamic. The way they play and run behind the opponent is very impressive. I like the way they play”
Travelling to St James’ Park
“They look very strong, dynamic, physical, and aggressive. St James’ Park is one of the most difficult grounds to go to but we are up for the challenge. We will go out there with the best intentions of getting three points”

Comment #75The Taco Taker,
They’ve (Man U) have basically used Dubs to keep Heaton on his toes and let him know that he’s not a guaranteed starter if DeGea gets injured, as long as Heaton is keeping up his training and looking good, I doubt Dubs is even second choice.
