[@abz-ip6ui]

I'm sorry Simon but we can still absolutely blame Ashley to a certain extent. His abuse of the club as a free marketing tool for his sports store meant that we had no commercial deals of any value, this is obviously affecting us in relation to FFP/PSR. The ownership has had to start from the ground up in regards to sponsorships. Ashley's lack of any ambition also means we are left with players (still) on deals that we cannot move on. The only players we have that are worth anything of value are ones that have been bought since the takeover.

[@johnenglish929]

@@paulanthonytully I hope we do, but I think you are wrong about Eddie and Guéhi. Yes, he was Eddie’s priority, but Mitchell was played by Parish and didn’t realise it. He was still briefing the media he was going to get him until the last minute but. misread the situation. Eddie had also prioritised a right winger but Mitchell did nothing on that one either. A little more humility from him would have been better rather than lashing out in all directions at his predecessors who overall did a good job to draw attention away from the fact that he hadn’t.

[@factzoverfeelings7503]

Jim White acting stupid like usual!! “Can’t get my head around why Newcastle didn’t get Guehi” umm maybe because Palace didn’t want to sell him? Maybe because Palace already had sold one of their top CBs? Maybe because the player never handed in a transfer request? White is such a 🤡

[@andydavies9866]

I don't understand the big critique of what Mitchell has said. Fans wanted clarity behind the failure to bring in new level raisers to the team, and he's given it. The new ownership is still in its infancy with very little in the way of an established, performing scouting and recruitment structure, having inherited practically no structure from the Mike Ashley era. So the first few years have involved overpaying for established players, Mitchell isn't wrong. The club will get there, and they've got the right people in place to do so. I just see his comments as being very damning of Ashley's legacy, and to some extent the lack of progress made by his predecessor Ashworth.

[@darrenbaillie186]

Is Simon forgetting that Ashworth left and we didn't have a sporting director. Of course the set up was completely different to when Mitchell came in. He's had 7 weeks ffs

[@kevinwilliams1602]

Mitchell had plenty of time, he was taken on in March or April, but he didn't walk into the club until AS an MG were disposed of, so he had plenty of time to update his portfolio

[@CmcC84]

I think the mad panic before the PSR deadline demonstrates the old structure wasn’t fit for purpose. Hopefully Mitchell and Howe can work together and have more fruitful windows.

[@griffiom1]

Jordan is such an expert he has to go on Talksport for a platform.

[@daveyeddie8176]

According to Paul Mitchell Newcastle's last bid for Guehi was a full 17 days before the end of the window, he said we are not going to be held to ransom and pay "Newcastle tax" beacuse we have wealthy owners. But for me, we could have stretched to that asked for 70m by all accounts and had the deal done and dusted. I feel Guehi along with Stones are England's best defenders. And even though he only had two years left on his contract we should have steamed in paid the price and settled him in, it seems crazy that 5m stopped this deal happening, after all the Saudis who hold a large majority in the four top clubs in their pro league have been splashing out multi millions over the last few seasons, and i get it's a different scenario and no PSR etc, but it seems that at 70m the Guehi deal would have been sorted. In the coming windows Mr Mitchell you have to start earning your corn. NO EXCUSES.

[@frenzied_90]

Another day another negative talk about the toon.... Nothing new. Tbh Mitchell made some fair comment so about the situation. We should have had other targets on a list. Not just going after a English defended who had a half decent euros.... We've kept our best players and we'll spend in Jan.

[@andrewharrison7767]

no but the last time we had such a messy window Ashley was recruiting from relegated teams every year - strange mitchell thinks the strategy that identified Burn, Bruno, Gordon, Isak & Botman as players to help was flawed? Within 3 months of the takeover they recruited trippier, burn, bruno & wood to address issues to survive

[@TheNextStep851]

@@andrewharrison7767 It has been flawed though because on the other side of the coin of signing players, we have been horrible sellers. Everyone we're looking to offload gets loaned out and we've just had to terminate Fraser's contract to finally get him off the books. Hayden meanwhile is still on the books and didn't even get a loan move this summer and Lewis has been loaned off to Brazil.

[@andrewharrison7767]

​@@TheNextStep851 which goes beyond the takeover, so nothing to do with the last plan which was being criticized, the same recruitment policy that found (and profited on) Minteh. All 4 of our most sellable players (bruno, botman, isac & gordon) would sell for significant profit if needed, but having £65 M+ to spend doesn't explain Mitchell's failing move on from guehi early enough, or being too late bidding for elanga - All of the dead wood were signed with survival the goal, when Cashley regularly signed from relegated teams, or free contracts. Between Hayden Fraser & lewis, their wages wouldn't exceed £125,000 a week - their lack of sell on isn't why we only bought in keepers, or Osula after Mitchel joined us

[@andrewharrison7767]

@@TheNextStep851 as for 'horrible sellers' blame the contracts given under Ashley - or the player's refusal to drop leagues. You can't sell if there's nobody paying our asking price for Miggy - the americans offered half our asking price. After that, loaning them out at least covers some of their wages

[@TheNextStep851]

@@andrewharrison7767 A lot of that might be true but we had the opportunity to sell Trippier and Wilson and didn't take it. Selling them for half price is better than getting no fee at all. It gets all of their wages off the books. Hayden and Lewis will leave on free transfers, and we'll struggle to sell Targett who is nowhere near first choice at left back.

[@billyrobinson9569]

amazing they say newcastle are not a big club but expect clubs to roll over and sell their players to them which is it simon

He reads one section of a 90 min interview and makes a bull story about it.

[@leegudgin2136]

Apparently they were playing like looking at options outseide the PL Eddie likes PL players that might be the reason

[@AdyGee-pf8vh]

We have one of the best forwards in the league . the 2 best wingers, the best midfield , a top class Goalkeeper, a decent defence With a top class Center back in Botman..and a classy centre back in Schar. I think anyone would agree that our scouting network has been first class and Mitchell comes in and criticises it all..all that hard work ! Eddies Brother is going to be livid.

[@sebbaninho]

Meh. We got a stronger squad than last year and we have good players like Schär and Krafu at the RCB position. HOWAY THE LADS :D

[@kevinwilliams1602]

Losing Anderson and Minteh has weakened us not strengthened.

[@sebbaninho]

@@kevinwilliams1602 I would like us to keep both. But Minteh didn't play for us so that can't be weaken us since last season. We have a bigger squad now and better bench options. Better option with Kelly att LB and 3rd striker option with talented Will Osula. And having Tonali and Willock back makes our midfelt much better. We also have Targett and Pop back. Joelinton and Trippier also hade a lot of injuries last season but are back now. Howay Kev!

[@georgerubypoppy1063]

Guehi tends to be used, and prefers to play, in the LCB position.

[@kevinwilliams1602]

@@sebbaninho Ah, yes Osula,has never scored a goal in the PL, I believe his career total is 2. Not good for a supposed CF is it. As for Minteh, he is tearing it up at Brighton, so he would have been our ready made RW, so yes we are weaker. Tripps isn't the player he was a couple of years ago. Willock is injured. yet again as is Miley, so we have 4 fit midfielders.

Yet here you are

[@williamvenus2597]

It seems these days every man and his dog are worried, concerned, puzzled and can't get their heads around Newcastle United, apart of course from the people directly involved within the club and about 95% of the fan base?? We are unbeaten in the league, currently sitting 5th, and have knocked a premier league club out of the cup, having been drawn away for the 8th consecutive time. They are trying to create problems where there are clearly none. All anybody at the club is guilty of doing is underestimating Parrish's stupidity.

Opened this to read the comments but I had to turn the volume down so as not to hear Jordan's annoying voice. Never have so many (often grammatically incongruous) words been used to say so little.

Simon is bang on

[@billproud8764]

I don’t think you guys at Talk Sport really understand what’s happening at Newcastle now. The heart has gone from the club, fans and team since Amanda a Co left. There is a void which only Amanda can fill. We are being ran by grey suits now and there is no colour left. She was our saviour from the awful Ashley era and she and her husband are a great big miss.

[@New-ye2fl]

Much love for Amanda and co but calm down 😂

[@Chez114]

No need to watch this Simon hears a 10th of the story and runs with it until he stumbles on a way to prop himself as the quintessential club owner

[@New-ye2fl]

Wouldn’t try blaming our lack of transfer activity on Amanda 😂 don’t like this guy already

[@DanielCordone9]

It's all Eddie Howe's fault. He would rather waste millions on average British players than spend much less on quality foreign players

[@agenttechstreams3891]

@@DanielCordone9 I have to think some one should of step in if true

​@@DanielCordone9Nonsense he signed Bruno, Botman, Isak and Tonali. And are Trippier, Gordon, Livramento and Hall average British player? Yeh right. Get your facts straight or go back to Mackem land.
