It's all supposition and hearsay for now. Just concerns I have from speaking to people.

Well Barry Kilby certainly had grave concerns when interviewed by fans a couple of month back.

I'm not enamoured by the new owners at this time. They don't appear to have any funding at all and are stacking up the debt having spent a lot of the reserves on a leveraged buy out. They, like every other owner, will have demands from fans to spend. We'll see what happens but they haven't spent mu...

Should have sold Tarks when offered 35- 40 million, it's alright going on about missing out on the millions if relegated...but as the players take most of it I'm not sure what we were missing out on. We have and should always be a a selling team, it's in our DNA

ewanrob

He went from fans favourite to the whipping boy. Money wasn't being spent very well toward the end of his tenure, and that cannot all be down to him. I think it's unfair to pin all the woes on him.

ewanrob

What's unbelievable is our 90 million wage bill for this lot...quite staggering

ewanrob

All I will say is Tony is the body language of that shower in the immediate aftermath of their winning goal was utterly contemptible. Not one player trying to rev the team up, not one player pointing or shouting, all with their collective heads bowed simply walking away from goal absolutely silent....

ewanrob

Don't anyone continue to champion this lot....absolutley shocking top to bottom.

ewanrob

Absolutley no for me, I have supported the Clarets for over 50 year....but with all honesty I am a fair weather supporter. I go to a match to be entertained and not as a routine thing to do. Its shocking to watch at the moment, and I have better things to do. I dont even watch us on the TV anymore w...

ewanrob

Absolutley stay, but he and his Management team have to change. Their tatics are now stale, and they are making decent players look extremely poor. You can't expect your team to defend 75 minutes of a game every week, they no longer have the legs. The Roberts situation is ridiculous, and it begs the...

ewanrob

Turning point was when Tony Loughlan left and Steve Stone took his place, things werent brillaint before TL left...but in between the losses we put in some great performances (Wolves etc)

ewanrob

As our friend Nixon alluded to yesterday, panic is now the major thing within the whole group....some very big calls to be made. I don't want him to go , but I'm tired of the Cloak and Dagger way he puts things across. He is so generic in all his interviews, you could literally play one on a loop......

ewanrob

He has to go, any other club and he would be long gone. We need to know, and quickly, if he fancies another crack at the Championship. I suspect he won’t so we simply have to part ways. We've just given him a mind boggling contract, agree with your sentiment. Let's see how ruthless the Americans ca...

ewanrob

He has to go...im sorry I'm in the 0.000001%...but he has to go. Quite shocking tatics and no idea.

Tweet from Phil Hay

Can't imagine man-marking Raphinha is a laugh but Burnley are giving him so much space. Been easy to drop into gaps and to find room to attack. Leeds having the better of this at the moment. 0-0 on 25 mins. #lufc

ewanrob

Joking aren't you, we love a mid 30 year old player at Burnley he'll be perfect when he leaves Newcastle :lol: Haha...His words "I want to play as high as I can for as long as I can, but I'll know when the time is right. If I'm at Atleti for another two years that'll take me to 32 and Burnley's the...

ewanrob

Tripps...saying he wanted to play for Dyche again a few months back...at 31 and signing probably a 4 year contract at Newcastle....can't see that happening.

ewanrob

Not read all this, but I really hope there has been a lot of spadework done already and we are less reactive in what we do...heres hoping.

ewanrob

Met my wife when I was 18, married at 24...and still hanging on in there at 60. But, if anything was to happen would I look again...very much doubt it. I really enjoy my own company and going out with my dog. But saying that, I really felt for the Likes of ClaretTony during the lockdown...at least w...

ewanrob

Tarks was defo off it this afternoon, saw him having an angry exchange with someone in the lower longside after a mis-placed pass 1st half

Im not sure Cornet gets back in once fit.

Agree...overrated

ewanrob

Great point...but.
Passing terrible
We never ever anticipate loose balls
Our 2 best players are a country mile off it
Pope's kicking is quite awful

However...Thought Guddy had his best game, brilliant defensively aswell.

ewanrob

You wouldn't think it'd happen, for obvious reasons. But we will then have 2 very unhappy squad members as Newcastle will want these positions filling in January.....glad its not my call.

ewanrob

Travelling away is brilliant - fantastic days out, and as for rubbish, it was a game we really should have won, we were the better side. I Get what your saying Tony, but I think to be the better team for 45 minutes isn't really going to keep us in this league...some real challenges and hard decisio...

ewanrob

If the questioned means is he safe from the sack from this board then I would say most definitely not, simply becuase if your going to sack someone then you must be very sure of replacing them with someone better. I don't think they can replace SD and his team with someone better that's why he is r...

ewanrob

Nail on the head, TBH I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, yes Sean has done wonders for us, but if he feels he's in the comfort zone that can create it's own specific issues, no manager should ever think their job is totally safe, and although I'm certainly not one of the Dyche out camp yet...

ewanrob

I could virtually end the report here and confirm the 1-0 defeat...that says it all.
Who is letting who down here...players letting coaching team down or coaching team letting players down..... I don't know anymore...but I can only admire those who travel away to watch that rubbish.

ewanrob

Quite shocking, not a bloody clue how to put a team to the sword. Only changes a team if suspension or injury. Nobody should try and defend the lot tonight.

ewanrob

I think I've said it before, but my Leeds supporting pal warned me he tends to perform for 50% of a season. Always a threat, but his hold up and link up play is very poor during the his 50 % downtime.

The Vydra obsession returns

I do rate him.....but finally admit this isn't his level.

ewanrob

More to this than meets the eye....Instagram posts put up and later deleted....player not happy !

ewanrob

Great read Tony, Ive always thought about which player sale most affected me as a kid back then....have to say it was Ralph leaving us, everything seemed to change after that for me....cant tell you how proud I was to see him singing Back Home on TOTP.

ewanrob

Had mine fitted a year after the Radiotherapy on my neck...it knackered the Eustachian Tubes in my ears. Im ok on a one to one, its when Im in a crowd I really struggle. They are very small and not really noticable, I have an app on my phone where I can alter the sound level etc...less in one more i...

ewanrob

Don't think we took foot of the gas, Brentford were bound to come out different 2nd half. They pressed extremely well and moved the ball a lot better 2nd half. Great 1st half, and no doubt a relief to all involved.

ewanrob

Hes waiting for his luck to change, because it always does...however we now have players who can't give anymore...inevitable I suppose.

I think you might find that they didn’t know

That's staggering, what about their legal teams!

ewanrob

Interesting take from The Athletic on Tarks style of play and if he's what NUFC need.

More people would know what you were on about, or even listen to it if you provided a link...

Apologies....suprised most wouldnt know of it to be frank, although I suppose Twitter is not used by everyone.....well worth a listen

ewanrob

Just listened to their interview with Barry Kilby, really enjoyed hearing from the great man...and really taken aback by his comments on no longer having his shares (via a gentlemans agreement) and his thoughts/suprise on how the takeover was funded...very good listen.

ewanrob

Looked down cant see a mention, but seen something on Twitter that Tarks has been offered a new very lucrative contract in order to keep him...any truth or lazy journlism ?

They certainly won't be able to convince top players at any big club to suddenly give up a chance of silverware to play for a side in the lower reaches of the PL come January though.

Big wages and lots of it can get over that one

ewanrob

Agree, fabulous programme....brought back so many memories

ewanrob

Don't think either will be good enough for the heights NU will want to be going.

Its grim up.north. No. You should have asked them.why they keep being relegated? No northern grit.

If we'd had 10 points on the board and had just given them a reet tonking I may have chirped up...but we haven't and didn't...they appeared to hit the nail right on the head.

ewanrob

Given the time it took to sign the contract and the constant reference to it was with the lawyers...i wonder if there are lots of caveats in there from the board, that perhaps cover their / the clubs backs should things turn sour.

ewanrob

I was walking toward the Bridge Beer Huis after the Norwich game with my son, 3 or 4 Norwich fans in front of me...interesting listening to their take on us. Basically, a run down Northern town stuck in the past, ugly old fashioned ground with superficial attempts to modernise it. No atmosphere in o...

ewanrob

You're talking nonsense. Were you at the game ? Indeed I was, that was most atrocious to watch. No movement off the ball, the amount of times Lowts loosing his rag at a throwing because the lack of any movement. Do you really think professional footballers enjoy putting that out there, they are pla...

ewanrob

Players look uninterested, shocking tactics once again.

ewanrob

Agree with most comments, hes not showing anything right now to deserve a place in the squad.
All goalies have bad periods, he will come good...but the kicking needs a good looking at.

ewanrob

He great on the pitch directing others, would make a very good Skipper...will be sad to see him gone.

ewanrob

His kick certainly poor, but the passage of play after that was very poor on our part...Pope on his kicking...he has very little to aim at unlike most other teams. We dont really give him many options for players to run onto.
