Their line.
Looks like bollocks and I'm not entirely certain why either. Maybe its just to make the board look bigger than just Charnley and Ashley as a puppeteer. Not sure why the fuck Bobby Moncur is there either given all he does is say nice things about Ashley in interviews.
I'm hardly surprised Newcastle have banned everyone apart from Sky and Trinity Mirror. Its not exactly new to know the club is incapable of coherent media relations.

Flash.
It's like Rangers and Newcastle are competing to be the most fucked up club in the UK. Every time one does something that you think has won it, the other finds something else even worse.

Wonder which guy is/was on the board of both these clubs too
I can't see it tbh, I think the majority of Newcastle fans are fully aware the problem lies with the owner.
Even if he does spend about 40-50m on transfers, he needs to double it in order to be at where we were 3 years ago. We've went from Cabaye to Colback, Ba to Riviere, Ben Arfa to Cabella but the most worrying thing is our centre back situation is exactly the same one that got us promoted from the Championship.

Dunno, there was plenty of anti-Pardew sentiment, before it turned out that he was making a shite team look slightly bad and Carver demonstrated how bad the team could play. Hopefully the knowledge that Shteve has a shite team that needs rebuilding will buy him a bit of time.
Poe
Pardew was part of the problem though, he was dancing to Ashley's tune and wasn't co-operating with some of the better players that Graham Carr was finding for him (fall outs with Cabaye, Mbiwa, Ben Arfa etc.)
Pardew also went on record several times when he was here saying our squad was strong enough and that Ashley didn't have to invest as much as the fans wanted him to - then immediately after leaving he was on Goals on Sunday saying he needed more investment.
Plus the football was absolutely dire, and the man was a complete cunt.

Bloody Pards though. It was all his fault, that Cabaye went in the huff for a year because Newcastle wouldn't sell him, and his fault that Ben Arfa has fallen out with every coach he's ever had. I'm not sure how not rating Mbiwa constitutes a falling out either. Pardew the mentalist wanting to replace him with Alderweireld.
Charnley and Carr seem like right cunts again in getting rid of Stone and Carver, and allowing McClaren to bring in his own, when they they forced them on Pardew. Imagine McClaren will be allowed more influence in transfers as well.
Poe
Not sure what our chief scout has to do with it either.
Shola
And the Chief Scout has a lot to answer for when he is the 2nd biggest influence at the club.
Poe
Hopefully things have changed anyway, the Mirror reporting that Austin is a done deal and Berahino is next.
That'd be a superb start. Still need two wingers and a centre back though if we're intent on 4-4-2.
Shola
Can actually imagine, Pardew asking for Charlie Austin last summer, and Charnley and Carr telling him that he wasn't cosmopolitan enough, and signing Riviere and Ferrerya instead.
Poe
Carr's first options last summer were Aubameyang, Lacazette, Gomis and Remy - only when Charnley/Ashley decided they weren't cheap enough we settled on the former two, so hardly fair to blame Carr for that.
He's consistently identified good players that were interested that we haven't bothered making a good enough offer/pay their wages for, Grenier, Douglas, Lacazette, Gomis to be just 4. All 4 are vast improvements on what we have here, to go alongside players we've signed such as Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Tiote, Santon, Mbiwa - all could and should be regulars at teams in the Europa League at least. If we were managed correctly, our team could look like this:
Janmaat Coloccini Douglas Santon (with people like Haidara and Steven Taylor for backup)
Tiote (with people like Colback as backup)
Cabaye Grenier (with people like Sissoko and Anita as backup)
Aubamayang Lacazette Remy (with people like Perez and Cisse as backup)
Carr is not to blame.
Maybe selling Cabaye was a good option - replace him with Grenier then and move Sissoko into a starting spot. Instead we signed somebody not suited to the role (Cabella/De Jong) 6 months later.

Austin and Berahino is the sort of front two I dream of Newcastle having.

Of the kits I bought, I always liked our blue/black striped kit from 2004/05, and the red/blue number from 2006/07. Oddly, I also liked the infamous yellow kit in the Championship.
Poe
The home kit was fantastic, orange one was superb but the black one was something else.

I liked that one too, I liked our European kit from the year after/before which was sky blue and black too.
