Bad luck Newcastle

[frodo]

Very much enjoyed reading this quote by Newcastle Chairman Chirs Mort

"It is frustrating that Modric, like (Jonathan) Woodgate before him, should take less money than we offered to move to the bright lights of London, and European football with Tottenham next season. "

Whoever says that footballers are jsut money grabbing chavs obviously haven't been to Newcastle.

Haha......monkeys!

 

[milkman]

Sweet!

Good decision by Modric to come to WHL, we are clearly the better team than Newcastle..

Yeah, clearly. Except when it comes to actually playing them!

What a prick. Good to see not all players heads are being turned by the almighty ££££££££££. How can Newcastle Utd even contemplate why they've been in such a mess for the last few seasons when they have this type of attitude???

Pathetic. I really hope Owen leaves, and that they struggle next season.

 

[Eple]

the barcodes got great players but only dumb ones (i.e. Martins great pace and thick skull)
the smart ones were clever enough to realize they've got no charm

 

[nickspurs]

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

What a dumb thing to admit for a chairman - effectively saying: 'We're so unattractive a proposition that even boatloads of money can't get players in here'.

Newcastle is perpetually run by idiots and long may it continue.:grin:

Bloody good job Duffy did'nt sign for us eh?
Still a money grabbing bastard though!

 

[hughy]

They clearly got lucky 7 times.

Not really, the message to the fans is that he is doing everything they possibly can, so don't blame him.

 

[Marty]

But seriously, who in their right minds wouldn't choose London and European footie over Newcastle and domestic footie only?

I know some clinically insane people might (like Duff, but were we in Europe when we went for him? Can't remember...) but really!

What a clown, he makes it sound like they are only moving to London for the bright lights then realises its actually because of European football!! And people wonder why I hate Newcastle

 

[gibbs131]

So he is calling Duff a money grabber?

 

[milkman]

Yeah, clearly. Except when it comes to actually playing them!

ssssssssh! :shhh:

 

[That Guy]

Scott Parker is a berk as well. Funny how he went to Chelsea, Newcastle, and is now at West Ham he also pay daft high wages.

 

[Makkaveli101]

(like Duff, but were we in Europe when we went for him? Can't remember...)

Yep, we'd just missed out on 4th on the last day of the season and had qualified for the UEFA Cup. It was at that time, people were really pimping us to actually succeed in doing it next season.

Thank god we didn't sign him. Crazy wages for a winger who is now 30, and has done little to nothing for the Barcodes since joining them.

And as "That Guy" has said above....thank god we didn't get Parker!!! I wanted us to get him at that stage too. He's done absolutely nothing except look rather average or spend his time sat on the treatment table.

I dont wonder fella, cos i hate them too. Bunch of deluded fuckwits who think they have divine right to a brand of success they've never actually experienced!

And thats another reason why I can't wait for the announcements on the stadium - if its bigger than theirs they can shove their lop-sided mess up their backsides!

nice to see that quote - I'm looking forward to seeing the Geordies celebrate 40 years without a trophy next season - maybe they'll run a two hour programme on sky sports with lots of pictures of fat men with no shirts running round St James empty handed

in fact hey guess what - maybe players like Modric and woodgate know that Toon are perennial losers and want to sign for a club that wins things - oh wait woodgate's already won more trophies with us than Toon have in the last 39 years
