Have they any interest to lose in the first place though?

They looked in relegation trouble twice under Ashley:

In 2013 he got them 5 players, including 3 French internationals, and kept them up.

In 2016 he got them Shelvey, Townsend, and 2 others - it wasn’t enough (shock) and Big Sam sent them down.

This window they’ve got Steve Nickson doing the transfers along with Howe and Staveley. He was the one who got them Joelinton for 40m and has just got them Chris Wood for 25m. The reason he is in charge is because the new director of football disappeared after a week in the job in December. A few days later a load of reports came out that PIF were going to buy Inter - it still seems that this might happen.

And the only reason Howe is there signing players is because they couldn’t persuade Emery to join.

Meanwhile, Ashley is ready to begin legal action against Staveley - nothing much has been said about this since it was originally reported, but it must involve the mags. She had to take out a loan from Ashley to fund her share in the club. Does Ashley’s legal action relate to that?

They had 3 months to prepare for the transfer window, yet have accomplished almost fuck all aside from getting in some ex Burnley boys. They haven’t done anywhere near as well as the hated Mike Ashley did whenever similar circumstances arose.

And the players they were linked to when the takeover fell through weren’t of any higher calibre than the market they already shopped in:

That list consisted of Mauro Icardi, Nathan Ake, David Brooks, Callum Wilson, Hamza Choudhury, Demarai Gray and Adam Lallana.

It was also stated that there were plans to make significant changes to the backroom staff, make sizeable donations to the Newcastle United Foundation and support Wallsend Boys Club and the Great North Run (via

There could be a number of reasons for the above, but the one thing that would explain it all is lack of funding.

There’s plenty of questions for local journos to ask Staveley and co anyway - some hope of that though.

Aye if the fans honestly think the owners who haven't got a plan of any sort,have not sorted anything by pre planning their 1st most important transfer window, and have just taken it lightly up until Jan 21st, but are now fully committed to working hard think that#s right they are crackers.

It means they are going down a list and they are running out of darts to through. The clubs like Sevilla are gonna send mixed messages to drag it out and out to worm every drop from the bastards . Every day nearer Jan 31st the players gain about 1.5 million extra every day. Panic stations will hit in and i would piss myself if it actually get's to deadline day where 70 million bids for Robert Huth come flying in :lol:
