We also recouped a lot more 'than those clubs that came up with them', something you have 'skimmed over'.
No doubt I'll be told that this is 'irrelevant'.
Not really, put one of Ashley’s patsys with this squad and they’d be relegated.
Your point about why back a manager that could walk away? How about giving that manager what you said you would? (every penny generated - which is deliberately ambiguous)
Awaiting a ‘not the next manager’s fault Rafa bought shit players’...
You lot have just finished mid table in the premier league which for a club like Newcastle is success yet still you bitch on and start hoying banners up all over the place as if you’re hard done by!How are we deluded then ....by we you mean us all.
Please explain
And?
Well unfortunately we do have an element of fuckwits amongst the fan base as your presence here testifies.You just can't help yersel can you ? Yet another pop at our fans. Change the record ffs.
Despite your relegation and the significant role Benitez played in that, Ashley backed him in the summer including you signing a club record fee goalkeeper. That was despite you already having a couple of perfectly suitable championship level keepers - Benitez then didn't even play him.
The following summer having got you promoted - he backed him in the transfer market including allowing him to spend £12m+ on Murphy from Norwich because that's what he wanted - again Benitez then didn't play him either.
Now with a year left on his deal, it's totally reasonable that Ashley is wanting some sort of commitment from Benitez before sanctioning further investment.
I like to add a little perspective to a discussion. For all the mags are the kings of the deluded (West Ham and unfortunately Everton are now running them close) it would be disingenuous to try and make out we don’t have our fair share of buffoons as well.@Mrjardine , there's no bigger feckwit than your good self, bringing up the same shit, week after week after week.
You are wrong, Murphy chipped in with some vital goals. Our keeper situation well, ok you can't win them all.
You need a big squad to get out of the Championship, and Rafas (Mr Benitez, just before you say the inevitable) no 1 priority was to get out of the Championship. He decided to cover all bases, he bought players for each position covering for injuries etc. It cost a lot but it would have cost a lot more had we not gone up. He bought a squad TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP (or at least get promoted). The Jan window was supposed to be his opportunity to plan for the Premier league, Mr Ashley had promised him funds would be available, as we know, none such funds were provided.
Ewes would've been bankrupt if it wasn't for Mr Eshley, the Fat Spaneesh Bus Driver's spent owa £100m on the team that can't beat Sunderland......
The squad bought for the Championship campaign was just that, for the Championship campaign. You can argue this was a bad strategy if you want, but I would argue 50mil well spent, look at you, look at Villa.
There is not a set of fans any different to the next.. We all are exactly the same, morons among us, plastics among us, die hards, wanna be's, deluded, realists, pessimists. There is a wide spectrum and each football clubs fan base will hold them allI like to add a little perspective to a discussion.

Both Peter Reid and Steve Bruce claimed our fans expect us to be winning the league. Blame them for that comment not me.
Can you not find something positive to say about our fans? I don't know if Reid or Cushion face did say that but if they did, only a feckwit would believe they meant it.I like to add a little perspective to a discussion.

So you’re now speaking on their behalf. Fair enough.Can you not find something positive to say about our fans? I don't know if Reid or Cushion face did say that but if they did, only a feckwit would believe they meant it.
Dear me, what an egotistical berk you are.So you’re now speaking on their behalf. Fair enough.
I’d say there are a few more examples of fuckwittery amongst your lot than most mind.There is not a set of fans any different to the next..

I can’t help what they said can I. Take it up with them. Perhaps they were just a bit pissed off with the grief they got despite doing good jobs.Dear me, what an egotistical berk you are.

I don’t recall too many other clubs holding Mock funerals and driving round with Pardew.out vans etc
There is also another category, pro active. I would agree that we certainly have a lot more of these than your club, for every bed sheet waver, we get the planned flags display. So I will take that.. We don't struggle to organise people holding a banner up in the ground, and almost come to fisty cuffs over the banner. These pro active people don't sit and sulk on the internet complaining yet do nothing about it. Call it fuckwittery if you wish, but I would rather have this category of supporter among us than the people who are not willing try and force a change.

@Mary Hinge
If you are going to quote people try and do it correctly!! Also can you not type in the Queens please, I struggle to decipher exactly what you are saying.
Divn't tell me how to gan on, on me own Fookin board ye Dorty Black and White Bassdad.......
You lot have just finished mid table in the premier league which for a club like Newcastle is success yet still you bitch on and start hoying banners up all over the place as if you’re hard done by!
Pardew had you mid table, this after finishing 5th, 16th plus a uefa Cup 1/4 and even that wasn’t good enough!
You hounded Allarydyce despite him being higher than you finished previous season when sacked. This because he wasn’t playing the style of football you had become accustomed to (whatever that is).
Just a few example for you.
Well unfortunately we do have an element of fuckwits amongst the fan base as your presence here testifies.
