Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

It’s only Martin Samuel in the Daily Mail, but it’s sobering reading for any Toon fan:

It was a year ago this week, sitting in Mike Ashley’s office, that he gave his view on how business is conducted at the highest end. ‘The reality with these deals is that once it gets out, if it’s not done, it’s probably not going to get done,’ he said. ‘The day someone buys Newcastle, it will happen like Manchester City. By the time the media find out, it’s already complete.’

January. That was the first time we heard about the Saudi Arabian takeover of Newcastle. On Sunday, it will be August. Ashley is not everyone’s cup of tea, but let’s not pretend he doesn’t know business.

Ends with:

Meaning we are back to Ashley’s office, a year ago. Very rich men get deals done, and then tell the world. Ashley said he reckoned on owning Newcastle for the rest of his life.

 
Never quite understood the constant comparisons between the likes of them & West Ham to us, particularly those who peddle who is the bigger club talk, that has well run dry.

They call us the “scouse mackems” which I find amusing.
 
Can someone please find the page where all this second Saudi bid started and the Geordies came on here to celebrate

I want the names of every regular poster whose arse fell out and started slating Everton for not being minted



Page 92 we began this incredible journey. Kinda sad it’s coming to an end :(
At the start of lockdown also. Praise be to the true angel of the north for keeping us entertained during these troubled times
