Just a quick write up to say sorry for the difficulty that users will have had whilst trying to access the ‘blog today.
Unfortunately, as much as it annoys me, these things can’t be avoided and a server issue has meant that the site has been unavailable for the majority of the day. As has been pointed out to me, the site has been running almost flawlessly for the past five or so months so I guess that the occasional technical glitch is to be expected, even though we do have super-duper ultra-high technology servers that try to keep the place running 😀
Fingers crossed it’s all sorted now and once again I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Deleting comments is just the fannies way out 😉

Plz don’t write super-duper again. Class dismissed.

Please don’t call me a Mackem again 😉
toonsy(Quote)
josh-NUFC don’t believe it till it happens , the end of the season is on us and we are a premiership club next season the hacks will be out to stir **** all summer . If it’s not about players being bought or sold it will be we are up for sale or Pardew’s days are numbered or the Toon Army are going to stay away in droves even though season ticket sales are up .

Army69(Quote)
JG I owe you an apology mate, my friends said you couldnt play sorry 🙁
SpencerTheToon(Quote)
well i am pleased that the spuds will miss the CL i can’t stand arry , maybe they will now be forced to sell their top players as well . I would like us to move for either Kranjar or Lennon .
Axel(Quote)
i wud like kranjar mind , hes awesome
Army69(Quote)
Talk of The Tyne are saying we are close to being sold?? anyone heard these rumours?
Kevin(Quote)
kevin i hope ya right
Army69(Quote)
I’m not sure how i feel about it tbh, as much as Fat Ash has pissed me off I can see that the club is going forward again and I don’t want that ruined. But if it’s anil ambani then that’d be nice.
Kevin(Quote)
There’s no way that’s true. Just when we were finally getting used to the roller coaster that is ashleys mind.
Although this would also probably mean that pardew’s position would be in some slight danger and at least under a bigger magnifying glass from above
AndrewT(Quote)
Just rumours I reckon. Won’t be the last of them either 🙂
toonsy(Quote)
once again, great timing for these rumours to surface. Just before transfer window

——————
I think this is the end of Spurs’ little run. They won’t be able to maintain their squad much less improve it without the CL money. ‘arry will get frustrated next year, blame the owners, resign in a self righteous fit that will make me vomit, then go replace Capello…then, no offense, I’ll be forced root against England like I do Mexico.
MDS(Quote)
sum1 yesterday came up with us getn 45 million in the summer hahahahahahaaaa , more like 45p , pardue will be able to afford a couple of packs of space raiders and a chomp bar
Army69(Quote)
Chomp 😆
toonsy(Quote)
There was that piece in the Mirror a while back that said ambani would be in for us if we achieved safety. Well we’ve done that so maybe the deals already in place?
Craigcoozy who is normally bang on with his info said there were some top brass indians over recently, with a view to buy the club. Who knows?
I’m prepping myself for nothing to happen, but again it couldn’t be worse timing really. The club really does need stability.
Kevin(Quote)
No worries spence mate 😉
JerseyGeordie(Quote)
Toonsy any idea of how much the club still owes Ashley? Would the 35 mil cover it?
I don’t think he’s looking to sell but it is something to think about.
JerseyGeordie(Quote)
nah man, can’t see it. Every summer we get sold etc and nowt happens. This’ll be the same imo
toonsy(Quote)
JG. – 150 Mill I think, although that will be coming down slowly soon as he is taking some back according to the accounts. It’ll be a long while before that is cleared though 😉
toonsy(Quote)
Aye aye benders!!
Rumours of a sale me hears! That Twitter fella reckons it’s done. I would love it to be anil ambani

“Mike Ashley has sold Newcastle United for a figure believed to be over £250 million….
Before, we get ahead of ourselves and check every news site on the internet for confirmation, the sentence is made up, although if rumour is to be believed, this summer is the climax of Mr Ashley’s time in Toon.”
In other words, totally made up.

well whats the craic now that im on the right thread 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
Just wondering why there is a clamour for a mega rich owner to inject a load of cash when its soon to be against the rules of that financial fair play stuff where clubs can only operate with what they make……
toonsy(Quote)
Hasn’t been too much of a problem as i’ve had exams all day, still, was crushing when I was looking forward to some gossip and I still had to wait 20mins for it to come back, not sure how the rest of you coped 😆
NewkieBrown(Quote)
@toonsy the rules are to be bedded in over three years. and even then you only have to break even over 3 years. Mega rich owner could cook the books if he needed to. Advertising monies etc.
Kevin(Quote)
Well we need a new owner or else a new MD so if we can get a new owner he might aswell be Mega rich to get some top players in before we have to conform to the new Laws 😆
Big Dave(Quote)
better the devil you know imo…

Hmm, higher rating for Simpson than Mike – would have given Best a better rating than peter too.
AndrewNUFC(Quote)
Aye, would have given Best a bit more and probably given Harps .5 over Krul as well like, though Krul has done well obviously.
