Popular Post TheAuthority Posted October 31, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2021 Not a fan of Holt and certainly not a fan of the Heil, but he's got this right on the nose. Wonder if he'll get chopped up? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10148313/OLIVER-HOLT-Newcastles-Saudi-ownership-flagrant-shameless-effort-launder-injustices.html Quote Newcastle's owners behead people, murder people, suppress people, oppress people, censor people and persecute people. There is not even an argument about that. Unfortunately for those who feel squeamish about their owners being depicted like this, we haven't banned free speech in this country yet. Quote Call it sportswashing. Call it pinkwashing. Call it what you want. But know what it actually is. Know that it is a tawdry, flagrant, unscrupulous, shameless attempt to launder the injustices of an oppressive nation with blood money and the tribal loyalty of English football fans. If that analysis offends you, if the banner at Selhurst Park offended you, it is because you can't handle the truth. 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was any justice in the world they will be mathematically down early April. Newcastle was scum before the takeover, they are worse now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The main advantage of relegation for us is that NUFC will not be able to attract the players they need, yet - most probably the same targets as us if they stay up. One more season's advantage could be huge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 think that they're the second worst team in the division by far, wouldn't be surprised to see them relegated. But if they do go down they're coming straight back up as is usually the case with relegated PL teams now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see NUFC fans replying here in the right way - the Saudis might find that owning the club puts their shitty attitudes into the spotlight and progresses their modernisation more than they bargained for.

Calum Wilson if they kept him would score 30 + down there no problem. But as others have said it delays what they really want to do by a couple of years in prem so that's important in the short term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll depend if his agent will go with him and extend the “special relationship” he has with Wolves to Newcastle.

There is an absolute shed load of cash to be made for one of those thirsty agents. Imagine Mendes, effectively teeing up nearly unlimited signings (commissions) for Newcastle with unlimited resources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Apparently they are trying to get Unai Emery as their manager. That's a worryingly sensible and good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I think they will struggle to get any kind of big name manager when there's a decent chance they will be spending a season in the championship. If they hold on a couple of weeks they might get Rafa back, been there done that. Edited November 2, 2021 by Mr_Dogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcement expected soon. Agree with you - incredibly sensible appointment. Sadly, probably the best appointment they could possibly make. Has worked in the Premier League, has worked with big egos under a money club umbrella and, perhaps most importantly, is a good manager and very astute tactician. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 That would be a great appointment. Would have hoped they gone for Gerrard or Lampard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
