Pretty poor of the new owners to send Lee Charnley to threaten the other clubs with the threat of a  lawsuit. That must have been awkward to watch given he's from the previous regime, he's liked by the other board members present and he's delivering a message directly from the new regime that doesn't appear interested on first impression in integrating themselves.

Quite telling the voting went 18-2 and the other club that voted with Newcastle was Man City.

The new owners are all over the place because the takeover was out of the blue. Premier League caved after CAT hearing had them on the hook for a £10m+ compensation payment.

Charnley should have been sacked first. Within 5 minutes of the takeover. That he hasn't been and that Bruce stayed for a week emphasises the leadership vacuum at the club right now.

All that matters about sponsorship is that it is market value. We just gave Sports Direct 14 years of free advertising, probably worth in excess of £100m.

France have had the backbone to nick one of the murders of Khassogi, what's the betting on those utter gimps in Newcastle attacking the French Police like they did Amnesty International? 

 

They released him because they got the wrong person in an identity mixup. And given how zealous France is with Islamophobia, I actually think that's pretty concerning if you're just an Arab guy who wants to visit France tbh.

The incident is more of a stain on France than Newcastle, tbh. Not that it makes Newcastle fans twerking for MBS any better.

Newcastle are somewhat of a mess just now, new boy Trippier starts and they manage to lose to Cambridge.

Now they only have the league left and that will be a battle for survival.

For me they need three decent players, Trippier was one they need another two though doubt that will happen.

Watched a bit of them against Leeds.

Both Trippier and Wood were heavily involved and generally they looked up for it with Newcastle having a better energy.

Felt the result could have gone either way yet a massive boost for Newcastle.

Think they need another signing to help them get out and stay out of the bottom three.

We should have killed the game off,  Shelvey forced a genuine save in the first and in the second the keeper had kept out Willock.   We also should have had a penalty after going ahead.

newcastle take over was a deliberate rigging for failure.  if we stay up it will be defying the odds.   there was 0 reasons provided bybthe FA as to why the takeover never happened in the off season.   

the idea was to let Ashley damage the team more get related before half way and force a rebuild from the championship.

the attitude of the "big clubs have been nothing short of that girl that is threatened when a new girl that is hotter joins the school.   

 

we have also spent less money than every take over from Chelsea to Everton.   people need to stop being pathetic

Given the money you have spent I don't think "defying the odds" is an adequate term. You've taken Burnley's biggest goal scoring threat for the past couple of seasons, signed a potentially world class midfielder and strengthened your defence.

There's no reason to suggest you shouldn't finish above Burnley, Watford and Norwich regardless of any point deficits at the minute.

Even with the spending we are not getting more than 33-35 points with our fixtures unless we are suddenly a top 6 form side overnight.

The spending gives us a better chance of getting to 35 points than without. However there's no reason at least one of the others around us can't also get to that tally. 

This is a scrap til the end.

We have given ourselves a better chance of that,  but will need 20+ points in our remaining games to get through.   It is a tough ask.

There should be a buzz around Newcastle now as you appear to have bought well in a number of positions.

I would be surprised if you still go down.

Everton H (3)

Villa H (1)

West Ham A (0-3)

Brentford A (3)

Brighton H (3)

Chelsea A (0)

Palace H (3)

Spurs A (0)

Wolves H (0-3)

Leicester H (0-3)

Norwich A (3)

Liverpool H (0)

City A (0)

Arsenal H (0-3)

Burnley A (3)

Southampton A (TBD) (3)

3 - must win

0 - expect nothing

0-3 - all results possible

Must win games:

Everton, Brentford, Brighton, Palace, Norwich, Burnley, Southampton (21pts) 

If we get 7 more wins we put ourselves in a good chance to stay up.    There are a few games that we could nick a draw or shock win but we will need the 2019 Rafa magic or last seasons miracle of Willock to get us going.   We have lost 21 points from leading and that is why we are at the wrong end.   The idea was to stop leaking goals but also give us more options to move the ball forward when prior to the window it was just ASM and Wilson.
