The news that Cheik Tiote has signed a new, long term, very long term, deal at Newcastle is of course very welcome and actually shows a glimmer of ambition for the club.
If we want to improve we must keep our best players, and securing Tiote on such a long deal will go some way towards that. It’s not foolproof, but with a deal of that length you would have to think that it maybe rules out a few teams that may have otherwise been circling in the summer, purely on the basis that the value of the contract is at a level which will put the price of Tiote beyond the reach of certain other clubs.
But is this a sign of Mike Ashley’s intent? Is he finally starting to show a bit of ambition whilst at the helm of the club? If he is, then it’s a good thing for all of us.
The sale of Andy Carroll has left a bitter pill in the mouths of many Newcastle fans and has lead to a fair bit of despondency amongst the black and white faithful. However, that has been and gone now, but the feeling of wondering who we were going to lose next was something that I was personally going through.
Things were going along rather smoothly on the good ship Toontanic. The players were happy and they seemed to be buying in to where the club were heading. The sale of Carroll brought doubts into the mind of some of them players though and left them looking for signs of ambition for the club before they are willing to commit to a long term future on Tyneside.
The Tiote deal could be the signal that those particular players were looking for, although I guess that only time will tell us if that is to be the case. Call it a publicity stunt by Ashley, a PR exercise with the hope of achieving some extra season ticket sales or call it anything you like, but if it works, and it entices other players to secure their future at Newcastle will it really matter? The fact is that it would have worked.
The players have asked for backing, and today is a tentative sign that the backing will be there for the right player. It may only be a new contract, and it may only be a worthless bit of paper, but it is also a sign that the deal will be there for the right player.
At least I hope so anyway

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has committed himself to the club until 2014 by signing a new contract.
The 50-year-old, who arrived at the Stadium of Light in the summer of 2009, has been in discussions with the Black Cats for some time and has now put pen to paper.
Sunderland are currently seventh in the Premier League and bidding for a first top-10 finish in the top flight in a decade.
Bruce said: “I’m delighted to have signed a new contract. It’s a magnificent club from top to bottom with wonderful support and everything is in place here for a manager. We have the makings of a fantastic young team.
for me it is definitely a sign of intent from ashley and a positive move. As I said on another thread why give him another contract and spunk an additional £25k a week if the intention wasn’t to keep the player and fend off interest by improving his wages.
tiote’s fee for anyone wanting to buy him is no greater than it was as he still had 4 years to run on his contract.
Of course he could still be sold but if that was the intention he wouldn’t have had his wages increased now.
Carver is also a good signing – 5 and a half years shows Ashley’s commitment to putting the right foundations in place and is a vote of confidence in Pardew
I’ve supported the Toon for over 50 years and have to say the way the club’s finances are being handled and all of the decisions Ashley has made since relegation have been good ones and give me optimism for the future. Though I felt sorry for CH after what he did for the club I think Pardew is a better manager and tactician.
Now for Barton and Enrique hopefully and a few in during the summer
Jose and Joey have both questioned the ambition, this is a step in the right direction.
In the summer if we can get rid of Smith and Xisco that will free up the money to give Jose a nice pay rise, obviously Joey needs to take a pay cut.
I really hope Joey signs a new deal soon, just hope getting Tiote on a new deal persuades both of them to sign.
Still can’t get over how class today has been, six and ahalf years man!
For me am not so sure what to make of this, it could mean either two things, that we are boosting tiote contract lenght to increase his value and will sell him in the summer, or, mike is showing ambition to keep our best players.
i would like to think we could keep a hold of tiote as he is a high caliber player who is great and clearly loves this club, and has the passion that all great players have for the game, by keeping him would really pull our team together and make us a force that we once were. lets just hope that we can solve the problems surrounding jose’s and joey’s contracts too!! =)
Ddavid I don’t think his value in the summer has been boosted by this deal. He still had 4 years left on his contract so likely to have needed the same type of offer whether he had 4 or 6 and a half years left.
The advantage is he is on higher wages so it will be more difficult (but not impossible) for his head to be turned by wages.
Hopefully this will encourage Barton & Enrique to get signed up as well – certainly can’t do any harm
davidtoon4life…I agree with you mate, it’s either a sign of intent, or designed to ward of potential suitors in the summer, I fear perhaps the latter. I hate being so pessimistic, but MA’s dealings over the last years have made me this way.
Everyone has their price at the end of the day, and if they won’t commit at the salaries being offered then they’ll be off, but that’s part of supply and demand, if someone is willing to pay a player more, then loyalty usually takes a back seat. That’s why I fear for Jose and JB, I hope I’m wrong but time will tell.
If you have any doubts about MA’s intent, just watch him burst into a smile, hug and shake hands all around and generally celebrate when NUFC scores a goal. He may have made some big gaffs in his tenure, but he is a man who seems to be a lot happier with success – the higher the better, including Europe.
Who has Ashley sold who didn’t want to leave?
And don’t say Carroll cos he is a judas and the blame lies at his door!
Everyone does have a price but under Ashley we’ve never sold a good player that didn’t want to leave.
People forgot that, we tried to keep Carroll until he asked to go. Milner asked to leave, as did Given etc. Fair enough Martins might not have wanted to leave but with his wages in the Championship we had no other option.
Right he’s made mistakes, bad ones, but give him credit when its due – getting Tiote on this deal is fantastic business.
Munich Mag
you are right about the fact that some player are big headed and are not committed to the clubs that they are at and would jump at the chance of moving clubs for more money, but, i don’t think that is the case with joey, you can tell he is one of the most committed players we have, you can see this when he plays, the effort he put in is phenomenal, i’m just worried about jose that all.
davidtoon4life…big headed are your words mate, not mine.
A footballers career is short, and they are obliged to try and earn as much as they can, and win as many trophys as they can. I’m not questioning JB’s commitment and effort, nor his love for the club. I just think it’ll come down to hard cash, and who blinks first…it’s all down to MA trying to get him to sign on for less wedge. Sad as it sounds, no-one is irreplaceable… I personally would like both JB and Jose to stay, like the majority of toon fans I would imagine..
MM dito
It could be a show of intent, but it could also be a way of saying “I know you’re interested in him so if you still want him you’re going to have to pay a hefty wedge”.
Just a thought though – Have the club used the Carroll money for this contract? If so, is it really a show of intent or is he just playing the supporters, making us think he’s investing money?
Either way it doesn’t make it less likely he won’t be sold but it does make it likely we’d get a good whack for him if he did go.
Well it looks like it has been a busy day today, we all know if a player wants to go its pretty much up to them but I do think this shows a bit of commitment from MA to try to keep players here, now just a few more contracts to be sorted and show a bit more commitment
Allreet chapitos……off doon the pub…. later alligators…
flippin typical…aaal yee bloggers are finally waking up, and I’m off to the pub……ah well…
well Ice hows you today have you got over the shock of your bank balance
MM take it easy on the devils brew
DAVE hello sweety how are you this bonny day?
DAVE,dont worry about money now if you havent any whats to worry aboot
Guess we will have lovenkrands partnering best tomorrow. Just hope Ranger comes on just after the hour.
Anybody think Elmander will have a sleepless night thinking he is gonna get the treatment again. I cannot remember any previous with Elmander.
Ice I am fine and hows yersel young fella
I’ve been a big critic of Ashley and can’t say I’ve ever really been won over. But lets try and be positive about today. He has signed a contract and yes, doesn’t mean he will be with us for the whole term, but lets forget that bit and be positive about whats been done. We are taking steps forward, lets just suport the team and enjoy the football
Ice im sure if yer stuck wor bookmaker will help ye out
DAVE@20,all the better for talking to you
Simon well said
DAVE cannot afford the 2000% interest rate he charges,thats per day,
ganning for a willo goal sat
nowt simple aboot simon
now richie thats a diff kettle of fish
Thanks Big Dave, It really doesn’t matter what team a person follows, it’s the same right across the wrold. Players come and go, they move on and doesn’t matter if we like it or not. We can hope that a good player stays with the club for as long as possible, but apart from giving them backing, nowt we can do about it. So lets just enjoy it while we can, hope for the best and enjoy it.
Ice he wouldn’t get the arm into you, sure he is a mate
Oh Ice I meant to say I think Capt Tugboat will score
DAVE come on what you ganning for morrow.
ime going for 1.0 toon win willo to get it

Ice

Ice

actually hold on mate im just popping up to collect the wee lad from his friday night club, be back in 10
Hi all. First comment but have been readin for a while now. Have to say the comments articles and banter on here are far better than o other sites so well done all.
About Tiote, I don’t think many people see him being here for his full contract but it is at least a show of commitment from the board which is a refreshing change. They would do well to see the positive reaction this move has got and act in a similar way with other players
JEFF welcome aboard m8,all the best bloggers on this site like,helps if your nuts too
I must say that the past 2 weeks I have felt the board haven’t been treating us like mushrooms for a change
Feeding us sh*t and keepin us in the dark
MORENO,maybe thats because lam-arse has kept his gob shut,it helps
Ice im back mate where is it
Jeff welcome to the Mad House

Ice that gets
Toonsy mail
Dave – Mail
Ice,
If all the players took an injunction oot on owl heed we’d be safe from them leaving
Ice I think he done well in that interview
I have said all along Owl Heed is the biggest problem at the Club, if the Fat Controller got a Footie man in to run the place we would be laughing. What I would give to be the one to tell Owl Heed he’s fired
Owl heed won’t get fired. He is on peanuts in terms of director pay so I doubt he’ll be away anytime soon,
Tell you what, this site is running fast as feck on the new server
Moreno – You about?
Big Dave,
We should bring back Tino as M.D, after all, he owns his own club in Columbia, he must kna what he’s deein!
Would be class to see Tino throw an elbow at Karen Brady in his first game as M.D

Nowt personal MM. Just poor timing like. Catch ya’s later
oh no cannit dee with too much toonsy
alreet munich
Batty I know we can all be negative at times, but I tend to look on the brightside of things, as all the negativity gets me down
. I sometimes think that he do’s it for a reaction but I think he is maybe just a naturaly cheerful chap 
MM hows it going I hope you took it easy on the devils brew

Lads….do you think the day will come when MA will be accepted by the toon fans….?
dunno bout that like mate! reckon there will always be divided opinion.
from a personal viewpoint….my heart says no my head says yes when i think about this regime.
I want to hate him and find excuses too (very easy – his own fault though) but when i look at the facts and the form i start to think he is a good man to have in charge (compared to a lot of others i see) in sorting out the club behind the scenes and developing us for the future.
As long as there’s some in Alicante to watch footy I’ll be happy
Norcal…get yourself on here mate…it’s always better crack with like minded souls… I’m also hoping for a good stream tomorrow, really looking forward to the game.
nite dog
richietoon…I reckon Alicante is the best for English footy mate…no probs ! There’s probably a bunch of ex-pats out there too I would imagine.
richietoon, you away to the costa blanca like? lived out there for 4 years!
munich theres being excepted and being liked ,and i for 1 will never like the fat c@nt
MM, but if there’s no link to a feed, I think I will bail until 2:00…just watch the result later,
moreno….aye mate, 4th April
4th april
batty@127 ditto
Moreno…that’s exactly my understanding of the situation. At the same time I think the players and manager have done a fantastic job at turning things round and maintaining the momentum, when really at the end of the day there have been a whole series of kicks in the teeth over the last few years, firing CH, sale of AC etc. MA and Alan Pardew have also been really lucky, cos the shit could have really hit the fan hadn’t recent results gone the way they did…
reet lads iam off up the dancers ,nightey night
neet batty
I think he had the chance to be liked but he fuked it up eventhough I do believe that he always had good intentions for us, it was just that he fuked up somany things.
As I said before I think the biggest mistake is that excuse for a chairman he is a total toss pot
Batty @127 & Richietoon…that’s about right, accept him cos we’re toon fans and he’s the owner we have, but like and trust him…never.
munich fck ch as he was quick enough too jump into bed with fatty after fatty shit on 2 toon ledgends in kk and as night agen
dave the fatty arse licker
night
munich clueless chris jumped into bed with fatty and got bummed
true MM, kicks in the teeth in one respect as when I think of your examples of CH sacking and AC sale I am still pissed off but i also understand the method behind the madness and in hindsight the CH decision is proving to be right and IF we invest the money and Judas held us to ransom (which i believe he did) then that decision was right too
Batty take it easy mate
its funny how Richie comes on and everyone fuks off 
where is mr Batty
Big Dave…I agree mate, firing that freaking joke of a chairman would go a long way to appeasing many people. But they seem to be best of mukkas, so it aint gonna happen soon.
MM maybe the best we can hope for is that something happens to the c@nt then
Richie me friend hows married life treating you
Moreno…that’s my point mate, MA has ground us down to accept the sale of AC with a whimper, due to his past methods nothing comes as a surprise anymore. Fortunately the results have gone well over the last weeks, otherwise the troops could be really revolting. Hats off to Pardew too, call it his team or CH’s team, but he has the team playing a better and more compact type of football…ignoring of course the first half against Arsenal and the bollocks against Stevenage..
batty…doesn’t bear thinking about clueless getting bummed by fatty…ooohhher…scary..
Dave…canny mate, so far so good
Reet, I’m away for some kip. later lads, play nicely Dave
Richie I allways play nice
But i’m going mesel I need some food
Howaaaaaaay the Laaaddddddddss
Toonsy….you in the Gallowgate today?
Awl the lads and lasses there
Aal wi smilin faces
Running along the scotswood road….
To see the Blaydon Races
Where on the Costa Blanca did you live Moreno?
Mostly calpe although spent time in javea and moraira too, where about you heading?
North or south of alicante?
Alicante itself,(north). Wor lass’s Stepdad has an empty flat there in a residential area where we can live for nowt until our house sells here.
Spot on mate.
You won’t struggle too much for football,
If needs must Benidorm is 20 minutes up the road
My skysports and other satellite than you can shake a stick at.
Problem with Spanish satellite (canal deporte) is they just play man utd, arsenal or Chelsea every week
*more skysports. Typo.
Benidorm..aargh. I Went for a couple of nights with my mate, when we stayed at his sister’s (near Alcalali,Jalon valley), it was ok for that, a couple of lads on the hoy but other than that it does nowt for me.
and I was in Madrid for New Year and managed to watch the Toon v Wigan 
A couple of years ago they had a few prem games on, Marcelino was a commentator
We’re taking the Sky box but the flat faces the wrog way so we’ll see if we can put a dish on the roof, if not I’ll have to wait until we get our own place.
Best learn Spanish though
It helps to learn the lingo. The Spanish don’t mind if you get it wrong as long as you try. Due to the incessant wave of tourists to that region throughout the years, most speak English but obviously not so much in the residential areas and inland (places like Jalon valley)
Moreno – Brown
Ah….always thought it was More….No
Wor lass is from Madrid so hopefully pick it up
*I’ll pick*
Used to get called Miguel Moreno when out on the hoy with the lads when I moved down to La Manga. Met many a footballer and manager there, could tell some stories!
I bet mate.
I just want to get out there now, get the bloody move out the way.
There’s a canny little residents bar at the bottom of the flats, sit outside 1 euro for a bottle of Cruzcampo
Reet, on my travels. Look after this place you lot
Where ya gannin toonsy?
Toonsy@152??
Rich – Missed that. No not in Gallowgate this time. No tickets that I fancied. In Milburn this time, Gallowgt side though.
Moreno – Travelling up to Newcastle for the match, staying overnight, coming back tomorrow.
Was going to get a new article up this morning but slept in
Match benter is done already and will be up at normal time. Mark is doing match review I think?
Rich – You could always meet us in Fluid? Depends how early you are getting there though?
Remember, you’re married now so you can take the piss a little bit
Right, this time I’m off for real. Catch you all in a bit
Prob wont get there til latish and meeting my cuz in The Strawberry or Shearers
oohhhhhh my poor little head

Or will he be the one buying all the drinks.
aye dog ya have too watch that rich and dave
Stuart… optimism?
its been a while since I did that 
Whey off to shops, pay some money into the bank
Toby le Rhone << just look for the biggest daft c@nt in there and ya cannit miss him
He defo won’t be the one buying all the drinks,he’ll be the one minesweeping the dregs, he looks like a poor mans Eric Bristow but with a slight
midlands tint to his accent 
reet now I’m off
So what you’re saying is he is no brad pitt
toby hes more of a tommy cooper
batty…Tommy Cooper is a legend….he would make a great toon chairman if he was still with us…could you just imagine it…?
or “was” a legend…
munich i remember watchin when he died people were laughing as they thought he was messing aroond
batty…I remember it too mate…bizarre viewing ..
Call me an old slapper, but the old slap-stick type of humour takes some beating…..
So I went in to a pet shop. I said, “Can I buy a goldfish?”
The guy said, “Do you want an aquarium?”
I said, “I don’t care what star sign it is.”..
munich iam not sick but ive just watched it agen on youtube ,as i havent seen it since i was a kid ,he went, just like that
munich i suppose thats how he would of wanted too go
Good old fat Mick 4-4 dvd only ordered yesterday and just arrived.
I cannot see what people have got against him…
Right that’s me setting off from bonnie scotland.
Lets hope for three points today and even if we don’t get them we will still be smiling not like other sets of supporters who would turn milk
Morning all. I’m going for 3-1 with Best getting and Nolan popping up against his old club. Sturridge will probably score for them.
I’m getting pissed today – off to the match at 1pm as I have to hand my season ticket renewal in as well.
Has anyone been watching much of Bolton recently? If I’m not wrong Elmander is now being played out on the right with Davies and Sturrdige up front right? What’s Elmander actually like out there? Or is he just used for set pieces and such or when he can get into the box?
It would be like us playing Shola on the wing
Exactly what I thought
…but something must be working or they wouldn’t be persisting with it surely? Anyway, can’t see him getting much out of the Bull today.
I guess Ice hasn’t dragged hemsel out of his pit
ICE has been up since 5.30am,you slag
Wallpapering!
reet, i’m all drugged up, masking last nights hangover, ready to get on it again. 2 bets, sensible one, Nolan to score, outside bet, Williamson to score.
Fancy us to create some chances with set pieces, plus big Mike’s over due a goal
you bar———–,kna been watching the series band of brothers,and the pacific (again)
Sorry Ice it was just that someone that will remain un-named said you had problems with rising,
But I didn’t believe Richie
ooooops sorry Richie I wasn’t thinking
Ice…reliving ya youth through dvd’s
Dave@216….whey we’re all used to that from you on here
Reet off to the match, enjoy lads. At least 3 goals from the Toon today
HWTL
Richie ye were quick there lad
Richie have a good one mate, are you meeting up with sumo
Off to the game now, haway the lads!
