« Previous EntriesSeason Incoming! Newcastle Utd Preview
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010I’ve not even seen a glimmer of either Mike Ashley or Llambias this summer and I guess that’s a good thing. Past years have seen the national papers loaded with pictures of our infamous owner and chairman with unflattering headlines but not this summer. Thankfully, they’ve learned a few lessons of past and ducked behind [...]
Newcastle Fans Keen To Kick Ashley Out
Friday, November 13th, 2009An audacious buy-out campaign headed by NUST (Newcastle United Supporters Trust) was launched on Tuesday to end Ashley’s reign of terror once and for all. They’ve already snubbed a proposed meeting by Llambias citing reasons that the initiative was too young to get anything meaningful from the meeting. Fair enough.
Using Barack Obama inspired slogan ‘Yes We Can‘, the NUST has [...]
Financial Woes Used To Justify Ren@ming Scandal
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Derek Llambias lifted the lid off Newcastle United’s financial state after being demoted to the Championship.
After losing several players over the summer, the club is still dealing with Premiership style wage bills to fund our promotion battle. What’s worrying is that Penfold-lookalike, Llambias is still unhappy with the wage bill which could hint at a [...]
Ashley U-turn On Full St James’ Park Renaming
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009After outrage by politicians and fans regarding speculation over the renaming of St James’ Park, Derek Llambias was forced out of his bunker to rebuke claims of a full rename.
In a statement, he said:-

Championship Season Fast Approaches For Newcastle United
Monday, August 3rd, 2009The passing of a Newcastle United hero acts as a timely reminder of the fact that the team can reach the great heights of playing in the Champions League and finishing high in the Premiership. With the right minds in the team we can get there. The past , however, is the past and Chris [...]
Descent In The Ranks As Newcastle Sale Saga Drags On and On and On…
Thursday, July 16th, 2009Looks like the Laurel and Hardy outfit that is Ashley and Llambias have once again dropped the ball with the sale of Newcastle. Opening up the finances, according to the Guardian yesterday, had basically uncovered a whole gallery of pitfalls and money holes. They are finding it a hard sell. Over the weekend I learned [...]
Toon Bidders Gathering – Takeover Almost Over?
Friday, July 10th, 2009Keeping a low profile so not to upset others further from needless tittle-tattle about the club. I read other blogs jumping on every single piece of news no matter how insignificant. I found it all rather amusing actually. Some even reported that the asking price for a club takeover had actually dropped to £80m but [...]
Newcastle United Sale Delayed
Friday, June 19th, 2009Despite Derek Llambia’s statement made earlier on in the week, the Guardian reports that any developments would not happen until the end of the month. Personally, I had a little hope that something would be announced today but I don’t think that would be the case. I did have my doubts and cynicism with Llambias’ [...]
Llambias to open up …the Data Room!
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009Sounds all a bit Men in Black to me, but Llambias and Harris will unveil an online data room housing the full accounts of the club to kick start the due dilgence process. Consortiums and others will have to essentially prove they have the cash on hand before anyone is allowed to see any data.
Consortium’s [...]
