Just whack him on ignore mate as the mods aren't going to do anything.

If everyone whacks him on ignore will stop his shite clogging up the thread.

My take is that they put all their eggs in one basket. The ones they really wanted and thought they could get over the line turned them down and now they are way down the line on their back up plans. Maybe they were blasé, naive thinking they would have no problems tempting players

That’s exactly what’s happened. Mind I don’t believe we’ve put as many bids in for players that has been made out.

The difference with exile is that his agenda is driven by his hatred of nufc. Don’t come back to me with any hogwash. It’s the truth and you know it.

Perhaps your right about your transfer dealings. I think it’s getting to a point where your owners are getting desperate for some kind of marquee signing to quell the rumblings of discontent

How would you know?
You've been a member 5 minuets, if you're a "lurker" why did you just sign up? Was it just for a bit notoriety which is failing badly or have/did you have a former log in name?

FTM!!!

Totally. No Newcastle fan should and can deny that the Saudi state owns them, despite reassurances from the premier league (the same premier league who Newcastle fans were claiming corrupt before the takeover) and if you were to, for example, say jeff bezos of amazon was to start policies where he didn’t employ gay people or women weren’t allowed to work at amazon then there would be a huge outcry from users and likely a huge boycott of using the service. Sportswashing works with football clubs because it’s a complete non-negotiable

It won’t take you long to find quite a lot that do deny this

Going off the saudi apologists on here, I am beginning to think this petition didn't exist. I mean, none of them admits to signing it, and they don't know anyone that signed it. I just think they are a bit embarrassed by it, and so they should be

Apparently That Petition was a work of fiction created by Twitter Mags, completely different from RTG Mags even though they have a much bigger internet presence
 
You would think the saudis were more involved with Chelsea at the moment they way they are spending. I recall words from the powers above at NUFC that they were interested in Chelsea and made a point of putting that in the media once the club was forced on the market by the Government. Then seeing mandy and her husband invited to the game at the weekend. Wouldn't surprise me if they worked there way into Chelsea by some legal loophole. Just a matter of time before his excellency makes an appearance?

Newcastle have a longstanding interest in Chelsea striker Armando Broja, but would only be able to sign one Chelsea player on loan and do not have the money to do multiple permanent deals due to the strict budget constraints imposed on manager Eddie Howe.

Newcastle’s main problem with landing their first choice targets this summer has been down to wage demands as well as limited transfer funds. Despite being labelled the richest club in the world because of the vast wealth of majority stakeholders, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the club is wrestling with Financial Fairplay rule.

The slow progress in landing new sponsorship deals following the takeover last October, has also hampered recruitment in the regime’s first summer transfer window.

Newcastle have tried and failed to sign several players in the last couple of months -privately as well as publicly - because of the budget issues and their inability to offer European football.

Sweden international Aleksandar Isak was a priority target at the end of last season, but the club scrapped plans to sign the player when Real Sociedad insisted they would have to activate the player’s release clause of £76m and pay the 22-year-old in excess of £200,000-a-week.

That is also a potential stumbling block with loan moves too. Both Pulisic and Hudson-Odoi earn considerably more than Newcastle’s current top earner, Kieran Trippier, who is on just over £100,000-a-week on Tyneside.

That means Chelsea would have to cover a large percentage of the wages of both players if they were sent on loan to the North East, which could make them reluctant to do so.

:lol:

Struggling to pay the wages to loan another PL club's squad player. Am sure they were in the same position almost exactly 12 months ago with Hamza Choudhury.

🎶 we're the richest club in the world! 🎶

It doesn’t really make a difference to the overall point. If people hate NUFC so much and realise how abhorrent your owners are, are they wrong to think this way?

I really do think a lot of businesses are wary about associating themselves with KSA and MBS. At the same time, everyone thinks they're minted and are demanding top dollar.

Could be, it really isn't clear. There's been plenty of questions to ask about this takeover all the way through. For a group of people who value TRANSPARENCY so highly, the mags supporters and journalists seem remarkably ready to let those questions remain unanswered.

Luke Edwards is the only one even hinting at the notion that everything mightn't be rosy. Caulkin is focused on knocking out the usual sentimental drivel in 10mins, hitting submit, and then f***ing off to the pub rather than doing any actual journalism. I suppose that The Athletic's funding model is part of the problem there, but Louise Taylor hasn't been much better either.

I'd say it is also of wider public interest beyond just mag fans. Considering the ridiculous hysteria and appalling behaviour that had MPs, councillors, fans and journos shrieking about jobs and investment in the whole north east for weeks on end, would it not be of interest for all of us to have it confirmed that none of that would actually be happening? Why are none of them arsed that Staveley has just disappeared for 6 months?

This was the reported plan when the deal looked off back in 2020:

According to a report published by

, the consortium had already planned which players they wanted to bring to St. James’ Park.
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 ).


The few details that were ever made public didn't really amount to much 2 years ago - middling players and the plans for all-important investment in the region practically non existent. Now there's 2 weeks left in their second full window, and that's pretty in line with what they've delivered in reality. For whatever reason, the big money just isn't there, and it was never going to be imo. It would be very hard to form that impression just by reading the local press though, I'd have to admit.

I would have the utmost respect for exiles crusade if it had started before 7/10/2021. If nufc had not been taken over by PIF then exile would have a lot more free time on his hands. FACT !!
Hope he keeps up the good work though and really hope he can make a difference.
