Derek Llambias and Barry Leach appointed as consultants (by David Somers)

[aweebluesoandso 290]

He was disliked by Newcastle fans partly due to things he said about ex-players, Newcastle legends etc, plus, on Ashley's behalf he spearheaded the renaming of St James’ Park and was responsible for a string of bad decisions that led to their relegation.

 

On the other hand, you never know what he'll be like for us. He might be a bawbag, but he's well connected in the football world and transfer market and apparently a good transfer deal negotiator.

 

So not all bad then lol, I think he will be Ashley's Iron fist in a velvet glove, will hold his hand out for peace but if it's rebuffed i can foresee a few bannings coming to certain parties, and not just in the Mhedia but within the Bears.

A board statement said they would be transparent on all the funding offers.

Still waiting for that transparency!

Exactly what we don't need, and I know you know that and agree with that

 

We are nothing more than a commercial toy to Ashley - like a dog playing with a chew toy - and when the squeak goes out of the toy he will toss it to the side for the trash.

 

Utterly scunnered at the position we find ourselves in.

 

Good result for Newcastle yesterday though.....

Presumably Llambias is to be CEO with this other guy Mucklow taking Nash's FD & company secretary position?

Shame Mike doesn't replace the Easdale's they are an embarrassment to our Club.

The Easdales and their shadowy groups are the ones who helped Ashley get the level of power that he now has.

I had exactly the same feeling this morning that I had when we went into administration - that we had just lost something intangible that we could never get back.
