We are 100% suffering because of our owners. That’s not PIF’s fault though. The premier league have made it clear that they don’t like Middle Eastern owners. This is why us and Man City are targeted. Personally, I feel that this is because the premier league are trying to build the brand and the following of the league in America. And America don’t like the Middle East so the premier league has to back them up on it. I’m convinced that we could spend more and get away with it if we had wealthy American owners instead of Saudi.

Give Ody his chance please Edward

Keith, your understanding isn’t entirely correct. We tried to sell players in the summer but we couldn’t get buyers. Specifically Trippier, Wilson (pre injury) and Almiron. Not only would we have potentially got fees (which can be multiplied by 5 for future transfers) for these players they are all high earners and the saved annual wages (approx £6m Tripps, £4m Wilson, £3m Miggy) could have been used to fund a transfer had we sold 2 out of the 3. Here’s an example selling Miggy and Trippier for even £5m each: Total fees £10m = £50m to spend on players Miggy wages saved £3m = £15m to spend Guehi wages paid for by Trippier wage savings (£6m). By selling two players we could free up in effect £65m to spend. This however is now gone (at least in part). By January we would have already paid half of their annual salaries so the opportunity is significantly reduced. Coupled with that all 3 have likely lost market value as they are not playing. Hope that helps 👍

Season is absolutely phucked

Pope has been awful this season, let's try our latest keeper signing out as a Greek international he should be decent enough?

Eddies chickens are coming home to roost

Good news. Pope is a liability. Martin Dubravka is ten times better. Pope makes fatal mistakes in every game

Luckily we have many keepers

Can't believe this hopefully is back before then😮

Put Burn in Goal Lol

Martin out please he will make us lose against Leicester

Would prefer to see Odie given a game over Dubs. Curious if anyone asked about Joelinton's shoulder injury?

The lads better start fighting and beating teams they should. We have played all the big six teams at home except for Chelsea and Man Utd. Only Chelsea we have played away. Tough times.

Love you Keith! However, your statement about PSR accounting periods was inaccurate. They are July to June, so any purchase from July 2024 onwards is in the same accounting period as January 2025. Conversely, the sale of Minteh and Anderson, completed in June 2024, reflected in the July 2023 through June 2024 accounting period.

Not the best xmas news keith

Things are really looking bad for us atm. Owners might say they back Howe now but I won't be shocked if the tune changes if we're flirting with relegation come February.

Hey! We’ll be able to put that totally real and not at all fantasy “£70m” that we were stockpiling to buy Guehi into action! Right? Right?!? Unless of course it doesn’t exist and was just a big con…

Glad he's out 7 goals in 2 games isn't a top keeper.

Vlach. Give him a shot. Dubravka does not inspire confidence in his team mates plus he wants out anyway. Vlach wants to make a name. Also, he looked ok for the Greeks.

Season is a write off at this stage

Seemed a strange comment from Eddie that Pope would seek specialist advice and then say we’ll see how he is tomorrow!!!! He’s full of BS at times. Just be honest with the fans. Makes you worry about what else he’s lying about….

Eddie would have been made aware of this as soon as the medical staff knew about it. Eddie often misleads people and doesn't tell the fans what they want to hear. He knows alot more than he makes out. Very annoying as he does it so much

before pope and the take over year freddie woodman was the only fit keeper dubs started a year injured and Darlow out so it was bad then. Now we have Ruddy and OZ the Greek international I rate ahead of a burned out Dubs

The human being that Anthony Gordon has developed into under Eddie Howes tutoledge highlights what an incredible coach we have at our club

Please please please please please please please please please please please please PLEASE not Dubravka just please don't do it. Our Greek lad surely gets ahead of Flappy Mc Standstill? Pope probably needed a rest in reality and maybe just maybe a good time but it's a very scary prospect nonetheless

Win tomorrow and the world is a better place, not a time to wet the bed.

Fantastic news. Hopefully he’s sold in January and doesn’t play for us again. We seriously need to prioritise a top keeper in January

Anthony Gordon and yourself last night at the NUDSA Party were brilliant. Very much appreciated at the time you gave to the individuals at the party.

We need Scott Sterling in goal

Thank God the R.V.I. is just around the corner

Cancel the season.

There are injury prone players and not suprisingly they are always injured. Pope, Wilson, Willock.

This is satire… jeesus..

Vlachodimos should be in ahead of Dubravka.

Nothing to do with accounting. As our financial year is July 1st to June 30th. He is so full of shit. This is all on him and stavely. She’s paid with her job and yet this mug is still here.

I guess Martin has to step up. There is simply no other choice.

The Greek lad is better than Dubravka

I would like the Greek guy be given a go or big ruddy.

Vlach instead of Martin please Eddie.

Don’t normally comment but yes it’s a shame popes out but give odysseas a chance pointless buying another keeper and never playing

Great news. Another excuse to use when we next drop points.

On a plus note we signed 18 keepers in the last window 🤷‍♂️ not good news at all.

It felt like a depressing press conference. Not just the injuries, the 'project' becoming drawn out and fighting for player morale and Howe admitting he wasnt able to instill fight. It felt like we're on a downward trajectory.

It goes from bad to worse 🤬

howe will be sacked at the end of the season he has taken newcastle as far has he can

these players cannot be tired they should work 12 hours shifts then they would be fatigued

Mid table team

100% every thing you said Keith 👍

Thank you, Keith!
