@FrancisChipp Francis, what did the press society decide after their investigation into the assertion from this journalist here that this story was ‘completely made up’ ?

Our players and staff paused before today’s training session to pay respects to Kevin Keegan.

[Hamburger SV @HSV]

Bewegender Moment des Innehaltens: Wir haben am Vormittag zu Beginn unserer Trainingseinheit gemeinsam mit unseren Fans eine Gedenkminute für unsere Vereinslegenden Kevin Keegan und Uwe Seeler abgehalten.

Keegan war am Vortag im Alter von 75 Jahren an den Folgen seiner Krebserkrankung verstorben. Bei Seeler jährt sich am heutigen 21. Juli sein Todestag zum vierten Mal. Ruhet in Frieden, Legenden! 🙏

@FrancisChipp It’s not like you’re saying wild claims like it’ll change our lives overnight Frank. Some things do of course change overnight, like journalists’ claims regarding players ‘almost done deals’ -There was always the worry another club would come in when we said it Was 99% done’

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@LukeEdwardsTele Isak and Bruno contracts probably have their parking space in writing. Yet their representatives claim their exit conditions were verbal. Of course they were, let’s not put that in the expensively produced contract’s items. It’s not important.

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@FrancisChipp Are you not tempted to just say ‘club confident , all should go through’ and then say ‘they were never confident and knew other clubs circling’ like a charlatan ? All the other NE journalists do this and then gaslight fans saying they didn’t …have a think maybe ?

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@LukeEdwardsTele I’m not sure our highly paid execs are making a good fist of stoping 20 year old footballers playing them for fools when tens of millions are involved - they only have one job and they’re failing spectacularly in it

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@SkySports_Keith No Keith, it says ‘they believe they’ve got their man’ - well, no, you don’t believe you have if you’re also cautious and aware other clubs are circling - it can’t be both? 20 year old footballers giving high paid execs the runaround ? Humiliating

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@LeeDForster Agree - you can’t allow media to say ‘confident’ and then tell media when you’re humiliated ‘we suspected as much’- either put the ‘confident’ rumours right, or walk away sooner by seeing a bluff and a play better - id you can’t do either, resign

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@FrancisChipp @AVFCOfficial Frank, if you worked for NUFC, and a player you wanted to sign said ‘ I am keen to sign, shall we say two weeks time for the meeting to do the paperwork ?’ Would you let it run in the press, confident he truly can’t wait to sign ? Asking for a friend .Called Ross

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@delfender Yes, Leicester won a cup, made mistakes and now 3rd tier. West ham, euro cup, a few mistakes - 2nd tier. We win EFL ? A few mistakes, players jump ship . Success requires momentum via investment and only the cartel get leeway via rules to invest out of any mistakes

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@LukeEdwardsTele You have to give in to the death of the pyramid Luke - investors moved into game needing stagnant league placings for ROI and they’re getting it. Bizarre so many clubs agree given it’s pretty much the ESL in plain sight

@talks_tyne Who is Bruno Gimerez?

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@FrancisChipp Bringing us the truth is the greatest reward you get from this job, Frank, but great that you are recognised in that pursuit of the truth. Has Romano won such accolades ? Of course not .

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@FrancisChipp Frank, any news on a Murphy extension ?

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@FrancisChipp Frank, you have a huge following - but NUFC have 1.7m. Why are you better at communicating football to your followers than they, a football club, are ? I know they’d they’d say they bring us an adidas range every week but could they do more ?

[Si Walker @siwalks]

@CraigHope_DM You’d only ask for an initial bid to be reconsidered if you had some leverage - so, like the leverage last summer when Isak went on strike - means you can ask the seller to ‘reconsider’ given the change in power balance. What do you think has changed Craig ?
