Aye, I think it is - same reason MOTD etc. haven't made a big deal out of it.

Court says he's innocent and he could sue shitloads of people for slander etc.

Can't believe Sunderland are going to play him.

Evening Chronicle suspiciously quiet on this - Local media spend all their fucking time writing about how Sunderland are a community club who have such a link with their fans.

Obviously playing a guy who has just been charged with grooming isn't as morally reprehensible as not approaching Rafa Benitez.


He is on the front page today, mind...

The football side of things can be different though - Mike Ashley has enough money to invest to take us to the next level he just doesn't want to and that is fair enough - but it seems the club are reluctant to take that type of criticism for whatever reason.

The 'improved' communication promised by Charnley I see has been left wanting too.

It will be a great day when we are finally bought by somebody else.

I fail to see where it says he will play for them, just that he's legally allowed play


He will play.

They'd have suspended him again if they weren't going to.

It is crazy how we constantly talk of being unable to grow revenue streams when we're handing free advertising out though.

The grooming charge does kill the nightclub argument but it's a weird one anyway.

Looks like a rapist anyway.

A much more accurate look at the finances - than the mainstream football press has published.

Newcastle's problems still arise from the issue of being unable to increase commercial revenue.

The 'mystery' rise in expenses is increased wage budget and amortisation. Completely forgot about the bonuses paid for top ten tbh.


Also highlights how far backwards we've went since Ashley arrived.

There's rumours going round this morning that we've offered John Carver the head coach role permanently

Relegation next year if true.

LVG is a massive cunt to reporters just trying to do their job.

haha quite ridiculoous considering he's already one of the most successful managers around and he's about 24.

Jose is the best in the world at managing big games.

Best manager in the world.

How often do you actually watch him?


Whenever City are on the TV which is quite a bit tbf.

He's one of my favourite players.

To dismiss an argument as if its so outrageous to say that Ozil/Mata are better than him so quickly is just stupid - especially when statistics prove otherwise. I think they're all rather similar in ability, tbh.

Aye, Ozil is brilliant.

Just as good if not better than Silva - who I feel is being incredibly overrated on here

Don't think Ferrerya will be here past his loan spell for some reason Riviere not good enough for the Prem either.

Dummett isn't a left back and I think he's too lightweight to be a starting CB - he's a strange one. I think him and Taylor should be our backup CB's, Williamson shipped out and a new CB and LB brought in.

Think Janmaat will be sold in the summer too, if somebody comes in for him.

Gouffran and Obertan only useful as backup, too.

Not sure Cleverley has the required talent to be a key player for us, tbh - could be a useful squad option though.

I somehow reckon we'll be alright when it comes to FFP

Sissoko is going to leave too, for around 15m - so that's 65m we should be spending.

We need (by my estimations)

2 starting centre backs (coloccini has no interest anymore, should be let go in the summer) (20m?)

A backup left back (2m or less)

A starting DM (If Tiote leaves) (8-10m)

A starting MC (box to box/more attacking) to play alongside DM/Tiote and Colback. (10m)

A starting LW (Sammy Ameobi is awful) (10m)

2 good centre forwards. (allow Perez to play AMC where he's better suited.) (15-20m)

That's around 70m needed, albeit open to interpretation and if Carr can pull out some bargains in the Cabaye/Tiote/Perez mould rather expensive flops like Anita and Riviere hopefully we should be able to trim that to around 65m - which we should be able to spend if we sell Sissoko.

However none of this matters - as we'll spend around 20m on 5-6 players.

Need to get rid of Anita too I think - under better management I don't think he'd be a bad little player but he's useless under the last two goons we've had in charge.

Mata's second season at Chelsea was better than anything Silva or Ozil have produced, tbf (12 goals and 12 assists).

He suffered because of managerial change etc - but I feel if he was used correctly throughout his entire time in England he'd be regarded as better or just as good as Silva.

Doubt we'll spend anywhere near 50m though.

Even if we do it still probably won't be good enough.

The only players that we have that'd be capable of playing top half football are Krul (maybe), Janmaat, Colback, Perez and Cisse.

Sissoko and Cabella are good but too inconsistent atm, they need to show more.

Players like Gouffran, Obertan, Jonas and Steven Taylor should be kept for squad players, nothing more.

Williamson, Ameobi, Ryan Taylor and Riviera should be sold. Not good enough.

Genuinely clueless about why we're not playing well.

Getting sick of Carver blaming foreign players.

Of the 4 regular Englishman affecting our starting XI (Williamson, Ameobi, Colback and Carver) there's only Colback I wouldn't want to see dipped in a vat of acid and shot in front of their families.

Sissoko is a massive arsehole - play well until January, realise he's not going anywhere and then become a petulant child walking about the pitch until he fancies it.

Bottled a tackle with Coutinho last night too, puff.

Yeah, we're wishing for too much if we want a complete squad overhaul under Ashley.

We've (probably) stayed up this year so he won't see our completely substandard squad as a problem.

We need a proper coach who is allowed to bring in his own coaching staff and have a say on who he's going to buy. The club is rotten.

I agree with Shola. Which is saying something.

Apart from Cisse though, he tries his heart out when he plays.

Need a better chairman, owner, managing director, scout, manager, coaching team and players.
