James had a good World Cup once, but other than one decent season at Real Madrid, he's been pretty bang average - and was pretty clearly the worst player on the pitch when we played Bayern. I'd be a bit underwhelmed if I was told "Alright, you're going to be the next irritating oil money club in England. You're in for an exciting summer, you're signing 2 has beens and someone who's bang average but will expect to be treated like a superstar." I guess it seems miles better than Mike Ashley and his unwillingness to spend money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness it might take a while before they can sign absolute top class, aside from Robinho it took Manchester City to be playing in Europe before they got the top quality players.

Two are 30+ and the other hasn’t set the world alight, so could be a good signing but is seemingly (according to Marca) averse to coming to England.

Club sales are shrouded behind NDA’s and the like and given Mike Ashley’s reputation within Newcastle, I doubt many of the non-footballing staff at Newcastle, have had much contact with him, if any.

Not sure if you've veered off the road there. My post was about if it is a hoax as Harry says. The chances of a hoax getting to the stage of NDA's is almost null. Not only would you have to be going to meetings and pranking the club staff you'd also have to stump up legal fees and fake your own lawyers. That's a bit elaborate, particularly for a radio station. If it's a hoax it's more likely to be the media that are played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a hoax it's more likely to be the media that are played. I don't think it's a hoax mate. But it does remind me of a time some friends of mine on an old soccer Forum in Australia tried to start an online rumour that a Venezuelan wonderkid called Gaston Cruz from the Eredivisie second division had signed for our local aleague club. Due to the huge volume of people wanting to believe such rumours they spread like wildfire even with zero factual basis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Rather than a prank played against the club, isn't it more likely to be the club doing the pranking? Haven't they got form for spreading rumours around the time season ticket sales go up? Who knows, I think if this doesn't happen and Benitez leaves you'll have serious unrest.
