I’m a bit starched. NUFC fan.
This whole Bruno saga just proves that #nufc haven’t learned their lessson from Isak. It’s been allowed to rumble on. Set the price and a deadline, if Arsenal fail to meet that criteria then the player and his agent are told that he’s staying. End of. They have to set that precedent going fwd.
My guess is that the new manager won’t be announced until Bruno is sold. No new manager will want to be associated with selling the club captain and best player. #nufc
I think Howes greatest strength (his personal connection with the players) is also perhaps his biggest weakness as a manager. I think it has sometimes made him reluctant to make big calls or drop players that haven’t been performing. #nufc
“West Ham: Vanessa Gold agrees to sell stake in Championship club to former Newcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley-led consortium” Could Howe eventually end up at West Ham? #nufc
Surely if your the new #nufc manager then you’re only joining if Bruno stays?
This Jaissle appointment has the potential to go so wrong. The Premier League eats young and inexperienced coaches. He’s also joining a team which has sold all its best players and retained all the shit ones. It’s got car crash written all over it. #nufc
So Howe has gone. Whatever you thought of him you cannot argue that he did an amazing job, he saved the club from certain relegation and won our first trophy in decades. He should be given the same respect as Keegan enjoyed. A toon legend! Good luck to him and his family. #nufc

So we are in pre-season, lost a couple of games and the “Howe out” has already started. This will be another toxic season, he will be gone by Xmas. #nufc
The problem for #nufc is that half of the fans want Howe gone. Most of those blame him for big players leaving so he’s basically got to hit the ground running next season. They won’t give him an inch. I think he will be gone by Xmas.
1 / The Isak saga continues to harm #nufc in so many ways. Allowing themselves to be bullied into selling him on deadline day has set a real precedent. Now we are seeing very similar tactics from Arsenal and I suspect that we will see Bruno delay his return to training. I’d put money on that.
I don’t care if Bruno goes, there’s no loyalty in football. He’s also 29, let him have a crack at the PL and UCL. However, he can only be allowed to leave if: ✅ 1 - Arsenal meet our valuation ✅ 2 - His replacement is signed If either of those two things don’t happen then he stays. #nufc
Ok I love a signing out of the blue but who is Aladji Bamba and is he actually any good? £30m+ for a player who isn’t very experienced is a lot of money. Let’s hope Wilson has done his homework. #nufc
🚨⚪️⚫️ Aladji Bamba to Newcastle, here we go! Deal done with AS Monaco for €41m package, medical authorized. Bamba travelled to England to complete his move, as @FabriceHawkins reports. Green light from Monaco. Personal terms also agreed with #NUFC.

This transfer window has really laid bare the issues with spending restrictions. #nufc simply cannot compete. Villa are running into similar issues but are able to bring in players due to UCL qualification. Next year they’ll have to qualify for Europe again or fall into the same pit as us.
I think ultimately this is why Eddie Howe has remained #nufc boss. The club knew that this summer would prove to be difficult. Top names will have to go and replacing them will be unproven youngsters. Thats a hard sell to any new manager. Coaching a team of underdogs is arguably where Howe excels.
Just over four weeks until the start of the season. We’ve lost Ramsdale, Trippier, Gordon and Tonali. It’s likely that Bruno goes too. We’ve only signed ONE first team player in this window. So just to stand still we need to sign four players, one a week. No chance. #nufc
Argentina are a nasty cheating bunch of cunts, aren’t they? It’s a shame because they have some great players but I’m glad they lost that game. Wankers. #WorldCup2026
Mental. Chelsea are everybody’s mug. In this market I think even I’m worth about £40m. #nufc
🚨🔵 BREAKING: MORGAN ROGERS TO CHELSEA, HERE WE GO! Club to club agreement reached today with Aston Villa to anticipate Arsenal official bid. £117m proposal has been accepted, as @David_Ornstein reported. Agreement done with Morgan Rogers on personal terms until June 2032. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Clearly if Manzambi had a straight choice between #nufc and Villa the fee would be the same for both clubs. Villa have simply overpaid for the player to the tune of £10m. So Manzambi didn’t actually have a choice. I suspect the truth is that we refused to get into a bidding war and walked away.
