Hababahahaha fuckin pathetic

[–] Homerduff16@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As someone who's always held a relatively positive opinion of Newcastle as both a football club and as a city, it's sad to see the club act like this. I don't blame Newcastle fans for being delighted that Mike Ashley is gone but the attitude coming out from the club, the staff and certain parts of the fanbase really rubs you the wrong way at times and it's very disappointing

That video that was making the rounds on social media a while back of some Newcastle fans being very disrespectful towards the older fan voicing his opinions on the takeover wasn't nice to watch at all

[–] meganev@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fair enough. I'd probably feel the same way if it was West Ham that was taken over. I will say though that I can vouch for at least some of the fanbase - and I'd wager it's a mostly silent majority - being uncomfortable with the Saudi aspect. We just want to enjoy supporting our club without defending/deflecting with the horrible shit the Saudi state does.

Although Howe was reluctant to be drawn on the specifics of Newcastle’s resistance plan, he said when asked whether the club would fight such changes: “You can make that assumption.”

They got the headline from this…

[–] meganev@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But why read the article when the headline lets me get outraged?

[–] pioneeringsystems@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well it's not word for word the same but he still says they will try to resist a pretty sensible rule, presumably so they can abuse it

[–] SomeoneCalledAnyone@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He literally doesn't say that though. He says the journalists can make all the assumptions they like but it's not his place as a coach to comment. You can watch the press conference on youtube instead of spreading disinformation.

[–] kingtuolumne@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not surprising Howe wouldn’t have had Neves in his plans since before he left Wolves. He’s one of only a few clear choice to fill the Tonali void. Of course he’s not for the ban

[–] spurs_fan_uk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck Newcastle

Scumbag club

[–] SP0oONY@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Such a dramatic headline for a failry milquetoast response. The Guardian with their usual clickbait.

Although Howe was reluctant to be drawn on the specifics of Newcastle’s resistance plan, he said when asked whether the club would fight such changes: “You can make that assumption.”

[–] WeirdKittens@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A compromise solution would be to allow it but settle on a fair price formula and then apply a penalty to FFP with a multiplier. For example if the donor club bought the player for 40m, then take that value divide by the years to amortize it (say 4 years at 40m, 10m per year) and require the recipient club to incur an FFP penalty equal to that times a factor for the financial year of the loan. If the factor in the above example is x2 then it's minus 20 million towards FFP for the year (10m x2).

Hell, you can make the factor even scale based on the last rank of the club so the more successful a club becomes the more associated loans cost towards FFP.

[–] atcodus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

While I appreciate the effort in trying to put a penalty on it you'd need to consistently apply it across Europe if you're talking FFP. So say Ineos get their partial takeover of Man Utd, OGC Nice would become a linked club, as would Lausanne.

Previously, both clubs could take Sancho on loan to try and resurrect his career, but now it'd cost them a huge amount in FFP, but Monaco could do it for "free". Difficult one to police.

"Manager of football club indicates they will take every advantage they can possibly get for said football club"

More news at 11.

[–] SomeoneCalledAnyone@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Funniest bit is he didn't even say it!

[–] staycoolwilson@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We all hate Newcastle's owners but this article is trash, reading the article you find he hasn't indicated anything at all. Literally said they can make whatever assumptions they like and the journalist ran with it. Clickbait at its finest!

[–] etan1122@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Newcastle has a club really went down the shitter with new ownership and Howe.

Even with the takeover I’ve said the one thing they do have is a proper fanbase but the way they have acted in Europe this year and how I’ve seen some of the younger fans treat the older ones voicing their option on things they don’t like; I don’t have time for Newcastle anymore. They can fuck off with along with city.

I’m sorry Howe but it’s hilarious you think your sugar daddies can buy all these players and you can loan them for stop gaps whenever needed.

[–] B_e_l_l_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As always with football, nothing happens until it affect the elite.

This sort of thing has been going on for donkeys years now.

[–] GrumpyOldFart74@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This needs a “misleading headline” tag - the headline is not supported by the article

According to the article itself, when asked about whether Newcastle would fight such changes he said “[y]ou could make that assumption”

So they might vote against, but so what?

He also said they would obey any rules introduced.

Non story

[–] Hobbyclub@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Your flairs need a misleading tag..

[–] Leather_Let_2415@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Newcastle are so dislikable post takeover it’s insane.

[–] the_pochinki_bandit@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You do surprise me

[–] CackleberryOmelettes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is why you don't let shitty despots into the game. They are not civilised people. They don't respect rules or sporting integrity. They are savages who only know how to bully and slime their way into outcomes that makes everything worse for everyone else. They are parasites.

Bold from an arsenal fan that’s literally been getting money from one of the shitty regimes for years.

[–] wubrotherno1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m sure people are really shocked he said that.

[–] TheLimeyLemmon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there any reason this rule wouldn't get voted through? Besides a few obvious clubs who'd vote against it, this should be a straightforward rule change.

[–] CrossXFir3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Idk, you need 14 to pass a rule change right? Well City and Newcastle are obvious. Utd might vote against it because Ratcliffe might want an Ineos sponorship. Maybe Evertons new shady owners want to do some fuckery. We never know what Chelsea wants to do. It could be closer than you think.

[–] mcluckz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone in the thread losing their heads ffs

[–] noskirdnehretep@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Eddie Howe is a sports washing cunt with no morals.

How about the Geordie Oil Barons go fuck themselves, huh?

You will have to wait until the next transfer window opens, to borrow it!

Well well well

[–] Trinovid-DE@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This new vote is absolutely an attempt by the premier league big boys (arguably excluding City) to reduce the toon and diminish our performances this season

[–] rumagin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Isn't he suggesting he wants to cheat then?

[–] fadedraw@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Globalization of club ownership definitely gives advantage to clubs owned by rich owners and helps them avoid FFP. Sell useless players to sister club and loan future prospects until they are proven. Then buy the proven for cheap from the said sister club. It’s a FFP loophole that should be plugged.

They can slow us down but it won’t stop the inevitable.

EIEIEIO

[–] Lucianboog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

City been doing it for years and new castle is where ppl want to draw the line lol. Crazy how ppl still cant take city seriously.

[–] Elgin_McQueen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why does this even involve him? That kind of rule and what they're going to do about it is so many levels above his paygrade. Media gives the managers way too much credit as if they run the entire club.

[–] SomeoneCalledAnyone@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He says journalists can make all the assumptions they like but it's not his place as a coach to comment. You can watch the full press conference on youtube, instead of believing clickbait headlines.

[–] Indie611@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In other shocking news, grass is green.
