I fully back them as we shove them kicking and screaming into their new ship which will either be knows as Fail Fast or FAFO

I for one are for billionaires like Musk putting his cash into this, but he needs a strict deadline where him and his mates will get into the ship ready or not and set off to Mars - motivation like this will force them to make it work

Do they have a Daily Mail in France?

Statistically it works out for the club about 80% of the time

Zero.

He signed a 6 year contract, he has 3 years left and nobody has come close to Newcastle's valuation

Missing how many different uses of AI there is - no way I'm asking it where to eat, what to do - I want it to automate repetitive tasks at work freeing up my time

I'm sure we can see how it all plays out in the "I'm more left wing than you are party"

Leader who want to be in charge and not listen to members
Leader who keeps falling out with people
Leader with experience of splitting opinions
Leader who knows how to split parties

If you are worried about people having the wrong sort of opinions you are in no place to start any kind of party

Nope the one that keeps splitting and getting new names - think you know the one - what the leader says goes, anyone who disagrees can set up their own party - and keep doing so. Horseshoe in full effect

I mean it could be but I'm putting my bets on the implosion version when they all can't get along especially trying to impost a top down vision of what perfect is to people who are expected to just fall in line and agree. Can't think of a similar example with a party who can't retain members

Nothing bad ever happens when a Russian Pres is out of the way, just make sure you lock the Kremlin door and leave the key under the mat

Fresh from the Laminated List of Excuses.....

Maybe it's down to being unable to create a coherent coalition that can agree on anything.

It's OK not to turn up, it's not obligatory.

On the list of the most predictable things that were going to happen this went slightly ahead of the sun rising.

Manchester Terminal 1 - Even worse if you are going to Dublin

Newcastle UK - Small enough to be easy, connected enough to be useful.

I've not tried it but the down side is you have to get to the middle of London!!
Newcastle beats most, small enough to be quick, easy and stress free, just off the main road, rail connection and well connected.

Strange concept but I tend not to be friends with science denying xenophobes and racists who are trying to be mini Trumps

He will make his first appearance as a sub 10-15 mins max probably against Leeds

Tried to be more authentic but that would have back fired?
Hidden her own personality?
Logged off twitter and talked to some normal people?
Read something?
Stopped trying to wing it?

The more important quote - along with the stuff about who is doing the briefing (Is it the agent who has bet everything on engineering the move which will get him a MASSIVE pay day?)
If Liverpool won't pay they should make that clear today and walk away for the good of everyone else involved.

Though given the touring schedule it could have been easily avoided and be having Oasis gigs in cities with a lot more free hotel capacity in August - I can get cheap rooms everywhere Oasis are not playing right now!!

Is he in bed there?

Strange all the news (leaved from who??) is coming from Liverpool sources - Newcastle being really clear and factual - player has 3 years of a 6 year contract left - club doesn't have to listen to any offer.
Door is open for Isak to play for NUFC - if not he has 3 years of a contract to deal with.

13.08.2025 13:00 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

and that would be the difference - Liverpool don't value him enough to make a sensible offer and seem to have put everything into destroying relationships through what looks an awful lot like tapping up.... I'm sure you can see the problem with that

13.08.2025 12:17 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

ah so regardless of the offer to buy him out of a long contract you would just accept it and move on?

Bless that compassionate attitude even if it sounds like it's as changeable as the wind

13.08.2025 12:13 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

or more clearly he had a rented house in Newcastle and if you can't spot the obvious parody accounts....

13.08.2025 12:08 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

yeah but that would cost him a lot of money, again something his agent is just working out about how badly he has handled all of this an how he is getting sacked soon. But still thoughts on what happens if Isak goes to Liverpool but wants Madrid next season? Let him go?
