Brilliant.
Everyone must up the ante on Howe and he will shit himself with the adverse publicity. Big credit to the journo. Would have loved to have seen the faces on the NUFC PR staff in the room! Suck on that you bastards!
Proper journalism asking the questions they don’t want to hear. It’s a scandal
The local MP isn’t doing the same
 
and another one. if putin owned chelsea or manu were owned by the us department of defence he'd have a point.

Alarming how quickly they’ve been sports washed. :lol:

You’d imagine a few morals would be tested after some trophies, maybe some marquee signings - nah, these lot are head over heels for their questionable overlords, and they’ve had to do nothing to achieve such adulation!

ā€œRidiculousā€ ffs :lol:

Thing is they are so sportswashed they wont even have to spend much.. a moderate level is fine
 
Can we please get a few things straight about Eddie Howe and all this media bull I'm reading today?!

Bournemouth were well backed by their owners and actually broke FFP when getting promoted. They were competitive with their spending in the premier League. The 'little old Bournemouth' narrative was wide of the mark when it came to their transfer activity. At one point in 2019 they had the 12th highest net spend in Europe in the 5 years prior to that.

67, 67, 61, 70, 65. What are those numbers? -
Goals conceded by Eddie's team. Average 66 goals per season conceded in his 5 years for the meticulous, obsessed, analytical Eddie Howe who works so hard on the training ground. (If you believe the media hype.)

For context. The last time Sunderland were relegated from the premier League, with the team of the uninterested David Moyes, we shipped 69 goals. The last time the mags were relegated, they shipped 65 goals.

In the 5 years in the premier League, despite the spending, there was no real signs of improvement in terms of results. 42, 46, 45, 45, 34 points. Average just 42.4 points... Surely a high performing manager would have broken the 50 point barrier. For context Pardew got 65 in his best season. Bruce was just above 44 in his recent 3 season stint.

This is a man who's never managed a big club, never faced the pressure and scrutiny that he is about to, away from his cosy south coast home.

Sure, there's positives about Eddie Howe. But you won't find the media balancing it out with any of the above facts/red flags.

And when did you leave Bournemouth? You knew all that?

Either you are very intelligent or very boring. Intelligent people usually are. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
 
Eddie Howe will concentrate on the job he has. That is to get the best out of the squad he's coaching and to add quality to it whilst keeping the media bile to a minimum.
Like he mentioned before, he chooses what he needs to listen to and the rest is just noise.

I'm actually more buoyed about this bloke than I thought I'd be.
I'm genuinely excited about his management and looking forward to see what he can do with this squad.

The politics are not his issue.
Of course the "politics" is his issue. He's accepted a job at a club whose owners murder, torture, and mutilate human beings.

These people have chosen to purchase newcastle purely to launder their image.

The person who is believed to have led on carrying out MBS's order to kill khasoggi runs a twitter account actively promoting the Newcastle - saudi takeover.

You're mired in the grubbiest element of saudi rule and oppression, so its utter bullshit just wanting to allow people to.concentrate on football. Thats how sportswashing works.

He should be pressed on it regularly as should everyone associated with that cult. Sorry club.
