AjcW Posted 27 October 2009 Posted 27 October 2009 Breaking News: Hughton Confirmed As United BossNEWCASTLE United are delighted to announce that Chris Hughton has been named the permanent manager of the Club, his contract will run until the end of the 2010/11 season. At the same time the Club has confirmed that it has been withdrawn from sale and is no longer on the market. The Club had been trying to broker a deal with a number of prospective buyers in recent months however none of those deals came to fruition. With regard to the possible sale of the Club to Barry Moat, that particular bid has now fallen through due to the cash price of £80m not being met. In confirming the news, Mike Ashley stated that he is totally committed to the future success of Newcastle United and will be focussing on gaining promotion back to the Premier League. Mike will put a further £20m into the Club this week. Derek Llambias, Managing Director of Newcastle United, said: "We are delighted that Chris has accepted the post of full time manager. He has done a terrific job this season and we wish him every success for the rest of this season and beyond. He will continue to receive our full backing and support." And Chris Hughton added: "It is a very proud day for me to be named as the manager of this magnificent football club. I thank Mike and Derek for their support and will be doing everything in my power to get the Club back into the Premier League at the first time of asking. "Having the unequivocal backing of the players has helped me enormously and I would also like to thank Colin Calderwood, Paul Barron and the rest of the backroom staff who have never been anything but tremendously supportive to me this season." Whilst confirming these two matters, Newcastle United now aims to move forward on and off the pitch. The Club aims to maximise its commercial revenues; this includes renegotiating its Club sponsor and kit deal, which expire at the end of this season, as well as welcoming offers for the stadium naming rights for next season. Good news for Newcastle fans. Mums happy with this one . Interesting points about stadium naming rights and who the sponsor will be next season.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 28 October 2009 Posted 28 October 2009 Wouldn't give a shit if Newcastle United burnt down tomorrow, and ceased to exist. Not one shit.
AjcW Posted 28 October 2009 Author Posted 28 October 2009 Wouldn't give a shit if Newcastle United burnt down tomorrow, and ceased to exist.Not one shit. Why?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 28 October 2009 Posted 28 October 2009 Why? Alot of reasons, priomarily hatred for the fans and their misconceived expectations. Really gave a shit about them going down last season. Cheered when they did. Thanks Damien Duff.

Cheered when they did. Thanks Damien Duff. Its the fans that get interviewed on tv that let them down. I come from a family of probably 20 newcastle fans and not one of them was surprised with being relegated last season and not one of them feels like newcastle are any bigger and better than the rest of the clubs in the championship. Similar scenario to us last season. There was some utter ****s who got on sky and said we are to big to be here and the rest of us just got on with it and had a thoroughly enjoyable year.

It's the fans in general. 52K booing at St. James' is a good enough indication for me.
Alexikokopops Posted 28 October 2009 Posted 28 October 2009 It's the fans in general.52K booing at St. James' is a good enough indication for me. I seem to remember our fans booing at the Walkers last season when we were top of the league, unbeaten for months, and had just drawn a few on the trot...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 28 October 2009 Posted 28 October 2009 I seem to remember our fans booing at the Walkers last season when we were top of the league, unbeaten for months, and had just drawn a few on the trot... And I hate our fans. Hence why I avoid going to City games and hated the win against Palace. Because of our fans. Nobs.
Alexikokopops Posted 28 October 2009 Posted 28 October 2009 And I hate our fans. Hence why I avoid going to City games and hated the win against Palace. Because of our fans.Nobs. AND I HATE YOU
