Free half season tickets

Clearly not the truth. League finishes prove otherwise and like I said earlier, if that's the case then it's the case for most other clubs as well.
He's no angel but he's far from scrooge or a demon.
This is hatred of him because he wouldn't bow down and I for one am glad he didn't.


You are saying that with zero clue as to what the man is taking and are reliant on rumours and hatred.



It's not about buying into anything. It's about being a Newcastle United fan for life. It's as simple as that..

If you take a look you'll see that I don't post on here when there's a match on. Pay attention.

Bought a ticket yet?

I remember it clearly. It was down to Carroll.
We had precious little time to fill the gap.

Ah right, we didn't have the time to get anyone 'over the line'. Convenient ?

None of your business mate, you mean nothing to me.

I'd say it was more convenient for Carroll to pull his stunt where he couldn't lose. I'd definitely say the money was too good to turn down and due to his injury, I think we dodged a bullet, anyway.

I watched the transfer deadline day in the Summer.Kevin Nolan was on.He commented on Carroll coming back.He went through the timeline of Carroll leaving as they were sat together at the time.
He said Andy Carroll was TOLD he was leaving and had a choice of a few clubs.Nolan steered him towards Liverpool.His time was up and he didn't want to leave.
One man was to blame for Carroll leaving and it wasnt Andy himself.

Really?
Because the ink was hardly dry on his new contract and then he wanted it re-negotiating right close to deadline day because Liverpool expressed a major interest with a big money offer.
Ashley called no joy and Carroll said he wanted to go to Liverpool, so he was told to hand a written transfer request in, which he did, so Ashley played Liverpool.

That's the speculation of that time and I'll hold my hands up as to whether all of it is legit just as you need to hold up your hands and admit you do not know what is legit.

The issue of whether Ashley peddled Carroll for the cash alone or whether Carroll forced the issue by trying to renegotiate a very-recently signed new contract on the back of such a huge offer is moot (as it goes, at the time I was massively pissed off but with Carroll as much as fatso).

The key point is that with no time left to replace him we sold our top scorer and talismanic Number 9 who was the focal point of our attack and had actually already played 19 games, scoring 11 goals. You can't use hindsight to argue that selling him was good business in the light of that context-regardless of how things turned out on the injury front. That deal was purely about what was best for the owner, not what was best for the team.

You can argue what you want Zipp if the end game is to lick Ashley's hoop and hang on every misdemeanor he does and point the blame elsewhere.In Wilfs world they should replace the statue of Sir Bob and Big Al with one of Ashley and one of goggle eye Charnley.
Why should truth play a part in anything.That would mean agreeing with someone sometime.

I'm not using hindsight. I was using present sight of the time when it was all happening.
He called the club's bluff and the club called it back and off he went.
It was good and bad business.
Good that we got a high price for him and bad because he was supposed to be the next legend.

He chose to wreck that in my opinion. He chose to go on a journeyman mercenary ride but his injuries actually did turn out to be a blessing for us.
So although that deal might have been what was best for the club/owner, it was a deal that showed we were not to be messed with when clubs come a calling for bargains.

That's how I see it.
