They’ve been desperately trying to flog him for months now.

Some may question whether he is that good anyway, however he is considerably better than Chris Wood, who is the only forward player Staveley and co have managed to sign so far.

I think your Tory boy retort opportunity has sailed now you are partially owned by a significant party donator. I personally thought it embarrassing seeing him at the food bank - it was like an episode of to the manor born with all the peasants doffing their caps.

Gipetto is clueless, throws a bold statement out like that and then has nothing to back it up with. Bit like hi hero BJ.
Zog now keeps his cards close to his chest these days but is a massive unionist, and we all know who the Conservatives are aligned with.

They’d get about £5m for Wood now.

I don't know either of them. But the point is you cannot throw "Tory Boy" out these days as without the Tories you wouldn't be owned by the Saudi's.

The mythical 90k do not all have NE postcodes (or Durham postcodes). At first you may make the effort to travel up but ultimately (if successful) you start prioritising. It’s no slight - it’s just reality. We took c55k to Wembley with vast majority of club Wembley and exec’s Sunderland. Doesn’t mean we would fill 55k each week….obviously. Well supported team and on occasion there will be excess demand but not consistently over 20+ years.

We would easily sell 55k each week if we had a team like Man City's though. We'd sell much more in fact.

But would we? They won the league in 11/12....hard to consistently sell out when you are playing all those games.
 
I'd love them to build the biggest stadium in the country. 100k capacity for the greatest fans in the world and then watch them fail to fill it consistently.

Would be class 🤣

Eighty thousand screaming Geordies every week.

Not like the mag reporters to get carried away.

has no-one read the news or watched the telly recently ? there's a cost of living crisis. austerity abounds, fair weather supporters aren't going to buy season tickets irrespective of club. Even more so to watch eddieball 30% possession shite.

I watched an interesting video on YouTube months ago about Bournemouth and their ground. It was a really interesting look into Stadia.

Bournemouth haven't expanded, because matchday revenue isn't the main source of income. That comes from sponsorship and TV

They argue that spending money adding seats, won't bring in the same money as the club performing well, which would get them more TV money and better sponsorship. A team performing well in front of 12000 will attract more money than a team struggling in front of 25000.

Obviously Bournemouth are much smaller than either Sunderland or Newcastle. But expanding their ground would mean filling in the corners (which would be relatively cheap) vs huge expansion costs at SJP or the SOL.

Interesting to see just how unimportant fans and support really is

Agreed. But as usual there were mags hyping him up after most of the first season he had, begging Ashley to sign him up.

Willock the same...

Bruno.... time will tell.

But there is a history of your fans over-exhalting mediocrity. And yes it happens at all clubs. But I think (with my Red and White glasses on) it happens more at Newcastle.

Seems like every new signing is class, every English player who has a good game is "overlooked for England" (Shelvey, Lascelles, Longstaff x2)

Dubravka and Pope.... "two of the top ten keepers in the top flight"

Truth is if all those player were as good as your fans generally seem to think, you'd not have been a bottom half prem/championship team.

Especially not under World Class Rafa

It only seems like 2 minutes ago that Dubravka was injured pre season so Darlow had to step in. He was man of the match for them in most games and the majority of mags couldn’t understand why he wasn’t picked for England on the strength of those few good games.

Same thing with Joelinton, who has been an absolute joke for over 2 years and has been rightly crucified by the fans. He puts together a bit of a good run and suddenly he should be one of the first names pencilled in for Brazil.

one of the comments is absolutely astonishing -

An interesting idea, Paul, but surely it would be more cost effective to try and buy back the Strawberry Place land - even at an astronomical price compared to what it was sold for. Of all the greedy, selfish and spiteful things the fat Oaf did to the club that has to rank as the worst.
As a side note, there must be 4 or 5 references to the mackems in the article. I know this is a fanzine, they’re the traditional enemy and it’s part of the craic but it amuses me to keep reading, article after article, how obsessed THEY are with US.

the absolute irony of the comment. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Majority of mags 😂😂 nee one thought he was good enough for England man. Dubravka way ahead.
Same way nee one thinks Joe is good enough for Brazil.
Now Bruno is a different matter..

How long until those replies start being every critical?

They seem to think it is about not being bullied by agents but ultimately you have to play ball - see City and Haaland.

So they are either the richest club in the world or AS has led them up the garden path and they won't really be challenging at the top. I hope it is the latter as evidenced by failure to convince Emery (and others), failing to convince Emelano, haggling over contracts for EH's back room staff, not making Brighton and offer they can't refuse to get DA sooner....and saying a training ground could be 5 years away.
