Thought for today….
I would like to thank Alexander Isak for his behaviour and forcing to leave Newcastle. I would also like to thank Liverpool for the duplicitous way they unsettled him.
Why FFS you may ask? Hear me out…
1. The bloke is not a team player as he showed last season with his performances at the start and end of last season and we only want fully committed players at our club.
2. At some point due to the corrupt PSR rules we were going to have to sell a big player to enable us to move to the next level. It might as well be one with the lack of character and morality that he has shown.
3. Isak and Liverpool have handed us a massive windfall that has the potential to transform the club over the next few seasons. Without this we would not be able to move forward as quickly and we would all be waiting for the axe to fall on another star player. That is less likely now.
4. We now, potentially,have the strongest squad in my living memory (with the possible exception of Keegan’s Entertainers but who knows they may surpass even them)
5. The new CEO and Sporting Director (both of whom are top class if reports are correct) will be walking into a club that is united from top to bottom and in a very strong financial position. A club that has qualified for the Champions League in two of the last 3 season and won its first domestic trophy in 70 years. A club that is clearly on the up.
6. PIF will hopefully have learned lessons from what happened this summer and even though it was a little late they acted in the last few weeks and made sure the end to they transfer window could be deemed a big success despite the circumstances (next up get the CEO and Sporting Director in and announce a new stadium)
7. Eddie Howe, Andy Howe, Jamie Reuben and Steve Nickson have cemented their reputations. In particular Eddie’s handling of the whole Isak affair has been a masterclass in diplomacy, hard work, and man management - we truly have an absolute gem and a gentleman leading the team.
8. In summary we have a club that is united from top to bottom, in a healthy financial position, a much stronger squad with players committed to the club, new top class senior personnel to be added very shortly, a second Champions League season to look forward to and hopefully more silverware.
Thanks Isak (you are still a rat) and Liverpool (your £135m will move us to the next level head of time)

@Jim_Keoghan@Clark5Nick Perfectly put, the league as a whole is not competitive same teams are “locked” and it makes it a two league system. I’m not saying it’s corrupt but in no way is it truly competitive and an advert for leagues worldwide which is what the PGMOL believe it is!
@LukeEdwardsTele He may stay but is likely to have “injury niggles” all season! Since the takeover we have and continue to be hamstrung by Masters & PGMOL this league was the best but is no longer competitive #gutted
@ToonMouthTyne@CraigHope_DM Mid table and CL Group exit next season! Unless something drastically changes! Can’t see it so resigned to fact PL PSR and rule changes have and will continue to hamstring the club! #farcetransferwindow
@ToonMouthTyne@CraigHope_DM Sell to Saudi Pro-League we’ll get £150 million he’ll get £300,00+ a week, win/win just not to another Prem club IMO! But by the time anything is finalised there’ll be days if not hours left in the window so we’ll likely have bugger all in to replace him!
@DeadlineDayLive@TimesSport Yawn more click bait, @NUFC are already hamstrung by the PL Red Mafia so how exactly have we used the billions to get ahead! Some commentaries on here need to wake up! The PL is slowly being eroded by those in control not by state ran clubs!
@Saudi_Airlines why is there never any sense of urgency with your staff, when it passes the boarding time inform people! There are people with connections you are affecting! No wonder I haven’t used your airline for over a year! Quite frankly never again!
@ToonMouthTyne Wouldn’t have gone back after Parish comments, they’re at it! Walk away, look elsewhere, this drags on any longer we won’t be able to put the money toward another player!
