What would make you even slightly positive let alone happy?

More points but, much more importantly, playing well and having a go at the opposition rather than the drab and dire football being served up for about a year. The last 3 results merely papered over the cracks imo.

It's not negative, I was merely responding to a post, if you trace it back, where someone was completely dismissive of Eddie Howe. I was pointing out the position Newcastle were in when he took them over and that he got them within 3 points of ourselves. That's not negative, that's a matter of fact, he did a good job. We at the end, flattered to deceive in comparison imo.

Always handy to get that £150 million boost

Yes he has, but 90m January window helped a lot.

Was it that much, don'tthink so?? Think you'll find it was between 90-100m which as you rightly suggest is considerable. Players still have to slot in and settle. 

 

Nevertheless, Trippier only started 5 of the 7 games he played and was injured for 12. Wood was a flop. Byrne and Guimaraes did very well. Howe's contribution however was considerable imo to turn that seemingly sinking ship round.

Agreed, but there was more to it than that alone.

Yes I agree, but I always thought they were better then they were under Bruce.

 

They weren't a bottom 3 side in opinion.

Plus all the player signing-on fee's etc, yes. The players are not that bad, just had a shocking manager at the time. Benitez got them performing at a similar level with a lesser squad.

 

They will fly this season mind.

Thanks to Ashley's tightness they're able to spend a lot without worrying about ffp too much. And like Scotch says it's not much of a deterrent.

Spend they can. But the wage increase is what will hold them back.

I think this why you'll see more foreign purchases now as their salary demands are a little lower. 

as i understand it, they are offering packages whereby salaries increase year on year to average out over a five year period.   there are plenty of ways around a circle

Interesting as you've never heard of them?

 

Interesting as they are notable names?

 

Interesting in that they have great knowledge of historical Britain?

Twitter is too much of a mouthpiece for a fair amount of drivel, when it comes to football transfer rumours.

I bet the rock stars are staying at the 6* rooms! Let’s hope they don’t throw Maddison’s back packs out of the window or puke inside them!

I saw a piece (maybe on Football Focus or something) months ago about a programme/enterprise/initiative(?) that allows free agents (and maybe amateurs) to play friendlies against clubs in the hopes of being spotted. I think they said they play games all over the country (and maybe beyond), often with just local players wherever they play. I can't remember the name of it now. Could have been Download FC, but I've just tried searching that and came up with nothing. Memory's a bit hazy lol, but I thought it was a decent idea, anyway.

 

Now I think Download FC might be something else. Definitely heard of them not too long ago. I remember thinking about how awful the name is. Even if you like it, searching it brings up f all.
