NUFC Saudi

[Blackmag 5,870]

Just short of 90 000 signatures now and with more mps and former players jumping on board demanding answers from Richard masters at the fa the pressure is growing for answers as why it was taking so long .even Simon Jordan thinks it will happen and reports are saying the Saudis and Ruben are overwhelmed by the support shown and haven't ruled out putting the deal back on the table never say never

I think I've said it before but do they now match kids with people around their size instead of age? 

A big black lad joined the club and partnered me up front, he was like a full grown fella at that age whereas I was still underdeveloped. I didn't grow properly till I was about 16-17 and by that point I'd been dropped. 

No way on earth at that point in my life could I match him for speed and strength. 

You can play “up” at under age but you can’t play “down”.......so a 14 year old could play at U16 level but but a 16 year old couldn’t play at U15 if you get my drift.

However any coach (imho) worth his title should understand that between 12 and 18 the difference in size can be enormous because everyone developed at different rates, it’s a delicate balance of giving enough of a test but not over matching, knowing when to take a player off while he is still winning.

Its like raising a lurcher really, build confidence and build ability and try and limit the set backs while they are young.....keep them winning mentally.

So many parents and coaches have no business being around youth football it’s just not true, but it is improving and that’s a good thing.

Even Boris Johnson  backs calls for the fa to answer questions and even backs the ombudsman in advising the fa to answer questions about there handling of the take over

Just to get back to what greb was saying. 

my uncle played in a very good youth team and was, I’m not being biased amazing .
 

He easily the best player I’ve ever seen in the leagues around us and when he gets mentioned in our town the response is “some player him” still to this day.  Absolutely deadly as a striker , lightning fast . Very like a Jamie vardy type if you like. 

he played with another lad who was a midfielder . Very workmanlike and neat. Busy and sharp type . 
 

as my uncle once said himself he didn’t have the dedication for the life needed and was happy being who he was . MeanWhile his pal went off to have a stellar career with derby county and Man City. 
 

there’s nothing as sad as unfulfilled potential imho

I wonder just how many there are like greb and your uncle out there I suppose most sports are the same it is a shame and a waste of talent but if there happy I suppose it's not for everyone the dedication that goes with it  I was reading about ravel Morrison who admitted he never got near to fulfilling his potential one of thousands I bet

Tbf I haven't made that much of a mess of my life all things considering. 

One of the other local  lads that was in the academy ended up going off the rails big time after his dad's shock death. 

He went from a promising footballer, in to the army and after his dad passed ended up on crack.

Some lads are just happy with their football mate, they find a team and a group of lads they like and get on with and that’s all they need......happy as Larry.

It isn’t until maybe after they go “What if.....?” 
 

Some are destined for that and some are destined to take it all the way

I see Boris has written to the Newcastle United Supporters Trust saying he supports the petition, (now at almost 100,000 signatures), and has instructed the Ombudsman to get the EPL to issue a statement explaining their inaction!

It reminds me of the "Chaos Theory", you know the one;

"A butterfly flaps it's wings in Central Park and there's a typhoon in Tiannamen Square".

"A black criminal drug taker dies in America and statues topple in Britain".

The EPL thought if they put off making a decision long enough it would all just go away, but now there's around 20 MPs have wrote to them demanding an explanation, 100,000 have signed a petition, the Prime Minister has now got involved !

Looks like they've dug themselves into a hole.

Cheers.

I don't know, I won't hold my breath, but we will never know what goes on behind the scenes.

Theres a thing called "Real Politik", it just takes the Saudis to hint that they may cancel some huge aerospace contract and the diplomats and ministers will go into a panic and suddenly the takeover of a football club in northern England suddenly becomes the "butterfly flapping its wings in St. James Park" !

One thing I DO know about Saudis, is they are easily offended, and deeming them "not fit or proper" will certainly offend them greatly !

Cheers.

I think that it charts there's a lot bigger picture as you say British aerospace for one and that on it's own runs into billions and it's not like Boris to pipe up about a football club sale. hundred thousand in that space of time is not only a great achievement but also the level of feelings from the fans I think the fa were hoping they would pull out but weren't expecting this type of reaction or staveley commitment to get it back on board
