These days he seems much better, persuading Rafa to come on board and backing him as best as he can, but speak to any Newcastle fan. They still dislike him and wished he sold up and left.

Also he wanted to build the club structure up and make the academy great but didn't realise how hard it would be and whilst he devoted lots of time to the structure etc he didn't spend as much time on helping the club improve on the pitch as he should have. Don't think he's a bad owner now as he's learnt but at the start he was making some bad decisions. Is that you Mike? Why are you on a Leicester forum?

Our owners renamed the stadium The length of a contract is irrelevant, are you saying managers should only be given shorter contracts? (By the way, it wasn't a 10 year contract, IIRC, it was 6) Didnt fund the team? Season 1: £26 million Season 2: £2.75 million Season 3: £12 million Season 4: £21.85 million Season 5: £26.65 million Season 6: £350k Season 7: £35.9 million Season 8: £81.6 million Season 9: £57 million Hardly been tight has he? Royally pissed off the Newcastle fans? Why , because he's not Kevin Keegan or Alan Shearer? Because they're self entitled moaning bastards who think they have a Devine right to win? Bloke has done nothing wrong in my opinion. The media hate him because he's an outspoken cockney who's made something of his life. He doesn't fit the norm. Fair play to him in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 18 August 2017 Share Posted 18 August 2017 (edited) Only problem with MA is that he treated his employees like rubbish and expected to get away with it. He could be this ignorant towards the squad, in terms of not keeping tabs on them or the club's youth team development etc. His involvement in Rangers also seems a bit iffy imo.

Yeah, but I do not want Man Utd to be pissed off when we are facing them and I kind of want some teams to drift towards the bottom fast, so we hopefully can stay out of the relegation battle quickly.
