One of the best things about this ownership is that they do interviews and do fan events, well done Darren onwards & upwards for the toon. 👏
Yes definitely so so much better than the old ownership
@@holliebeachill7589 It's so refreshing Hollie, look across at the Man United shit show the board members don't even show up for games lol onwards and upwards for us no doubt. 💯
Ashley wouldn’t know what a fan event was if it bit him on the ass
I just love the fact that not only is it all transparent, but he talks complete and clear sense. Love it
Darren Eales is top tier. What he did for Atlanta United revolutionized how expansion teams in the MLS behaved.
I love the transparency miles away from the old owner. The future is bright HWTL ⚫️⚪️
Yes definitely
Mike only had dial up Internet. It'd take far too long to upload
No clubs really do this sort of engagement we need to give them credit for listening and engaging with supporters, thank you🙌🏻 HWTL
Isn't it great that we now have a management team who are really interested in the club and the loyal fans Once a Newcastle supporters always a Newcastle supporter God bless them all
Great news, well done Darren and all those behind the scenes at NUFC ⚫⚪
Darren is doing a good job. The club seems in good hands. There is no rush for success, let us build the right way.
Exactly as they say Rome wasn't built in a day
Darren you beautiful beautiful man, exciting growth ahead!
Our club has already transformed so much, we’re so much more classy and professional, still can’t believe it.
Very good interview, and reminded me that the club hasn't yet got back control of its retail capabilities thanks to MA! All heading in a very good direction. I always try to remind myself of this if I'm ever unhappy with a recent result, the club is being rebuilt, and then built higher brick by brick over many seasons.
Well done to all involved. The futures bright..the futures Black and white. HWTL
Thank you Darren for this interview…thank you NUFC for the positive future we all dream of and thank you for the memories so far the club had given us…HWTL 🖤🤍🖤🤍…United as one 🫶🏻….
Frank factual and in depth, show me another Club that does this, I'll wait!!!!
This man's a financial and marketing genius 👏🏽
Nice to see darren come out and explain whats going on regarding the club financially... Fat mike and his gophers are a million miles away from these experts... Well done darren
Love that we hear from many different people from the club, different departments etc. Great to hear the updates and the direction we are heading!
Love this clear, consice narrative from the owners/board ❤
We are lucky to have Darren, communication is spot on and he knows his stuff. As supporters we need to keep our eyes on the big picture… there will be players that leave and that the club doesn’t want to leave… but over time we will be in a position to retain the best & buy the best. Same with stadium, things will have to change one way or another. However, the key is it’s only being done to reinvest in the team!
He speaks so bloody well!! Come on Dazza
Howay the lads. This guy is great.
best explanation of ffp (in relation to us) that i’ve heard 👏🏻
Sounds like excuses he’s a posh lee
Charnley. We want Mbappe. Ignore ffp like Man City
Love the communication from the club now. A lot more transparency. With most decisions even when i disagree, theres more trust in the ppl running the club that those decision will be in the best interests of the club. Things that should be looked at is the decisions that affect the match day atmosphere like big packages for tourists etc. The atmosphere can be better at times and things like that aren’t going to help it. Feel Connected more now with NUFC than i have in a long time though.
This is a terrific example of great communication. Congratulations and credit to Darren and the ownership team.
Fantastic content. The level of transparency that this leadership group aspires to is, frankly, outstanding. After years of Money Mike and Penfold saying very little, and lying through their back teeth when they did, this is just brilliant. I want Darren Eales to be our CEO forever, please?
He is explaining amortisation as a reason for moving Bruno on in the summer.
No, that's nore a reason to move on a player who is closer to full amortization so someone who has been here longer or is near the end of their initial contract.
It's a tough one to swallow, but I see the logic for doing it (whoever the player maybe)
dont amortize bruno pleeeeease 😢 @@azinoodhomi4419 😢
That's what I thought when he started talking about that :(
Selling a home grown player is very useful as well. It’s a shame Anderson has been crocked and he could have served that purpose well. Particularly if there is no European football next season.
This is how you do ownership and leadership
Well rounded and straight explanation of how they are approaching the future, compared to the lies and deceit from Ashley era, slowly building is exactly how it should be done, and we are way ahead of schedule.
Howay
Come on lad!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This open dialogue (and interviews) between owners and fans is something Mike Ashley couldn’t get his fat head around..?
And I’m not just having a dig at Ashley here, because many owners should follow suit, as these type of interviews makes us feel more connected to the club.
⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
Because Mike Ashley was a narcissistic twat who didn’t care that he pissed off the whole city
Howay the lads!
Brilliant content. Still feels surreal to have such clear, educated leadership
so going off the new deals with sela and adidas and the fact that the club will get money from all merchandise going forward the club revenue come the summer be nearer 300m+ which is going in the right direction
This is how you communicate as a CEO
Some things in here that fans probably won’t like to hear, but what a difference it is to have communication and honesty coming from the club instead of silence!
Trading players - It's necessary but when it's time for some of our best talent to move on, its going to hurt.
Next season.. back to Adidas😍🙌
We got Trippier, Bruno & Gordon in the January window
Honest and transparent 👍
Loved listening to you.only 2 points,1 we signed Gordon in the January window.2....I forgot, cause I had a bottle of wine.
Profits will be even better next year with the CL money, and to think some fans did not want it. So important for the growth of the club.
Not many businesses out there can boast back to back 40% growth in revenue, as they said when they turned up its a marathon not a sprint and they will get there eventually.
Indeed. It just goes to show how the potential was being suppressed for so many years by Ashley. Supposedly a 'good' businessman.
@@raindancer80 Thing is with Ashley it was great business for him. If he actually paid for the advertising of his tatty sports shop over those 15 years it would have cost him much more given what he sold the club for. We were nowt more than a sandwich board.
@@BobAyre True, but when you really think about it, there's nothing that our new owners have done that he couldn't have managed himself. A paucity of ambition, small-minded thinking, short-termism - That's why to me he isn't a good businessman. Anyone could have milked the club dry, but actually growing something takes effort. Anyway, glad the parasite is gone HWTL!
yeah not many businesses gets sponsored by companies that are owned by its owners
you are dreaming if you think they’d pay this much money for a mid table team otherwise
Difference is Noon, Sela etc do not operate in the uk market they are GCC only. That is a circumnavigation of FFP, not bending any rules, but not done for advertising reasons. They paid next to nothing for the club at 300m and have more than doubled its value in 2 years.
The insane contrast
NUFC ownership in 2024 after not signing anyone for 11 days: “We can explain with transparency and depth”
NUFC under Mike Ashley: “We are happy to announce a striker on loan… to replace Demba Ba who we sold for peanuts lmao sorry”
This is great Ashley never did anything like this
Ashley only had his one ghoul who could have done something like this really and he’d just have come out, dribbled on his top, and gone back to playing with his building blocks.
@@badofcheesePenfold
These people are not stupid.
Also Amanda and Co have our clubs best interests at heart
Good news but the fact is that FFP is making it hard for clubs like ours to challenge the usual top 6 - FSR will make it even harder.
The best teams in the world sell their players to freshen the team up and bring in new faces. Man City sold Jesus and Zincheko recently who were both brilliant for them. Bayern sell players ALOT, Spurs just sold Kane, Chelsea sell players, Barcelona do, etc etc it’s all part of football.
Mike Ashley used to use the money from player sales to fund sports direct and high street shops, he never used to use the money to make the team better, that’s the difference.
I hope they don't let Botman, Bruno or Isak go (The Spine of the Team). You got to build from somewhere. I remember when we sold Andy Cole and things went downhill from there.
I hope they sell Gordon hes bang average
Tbh I see the logic in selling Bruno IF we invest on the same level West Ham did. Baring in mind we signed him for £40m if we sold him for £80m-£100m we’ve made great profit and have room to sign 2 players (with Tonali coming back too)
I think it's absolutley 100% clear from this that Eddie Howe isnt going anywhere.
It can only be good for the long term future of the club big thumbs up . Howay the lads .
Training ground and training kit sponsorship incoming soon?
SJP co-naming rights?
There will be queues for miles when the Adidas kits launch again
As the great man called them - crown jewels- Isak & Bruno are my current day crown jewels with big Joe not far behind.
I understand we have to balance the books, but we never sell our crown jewels, imho.
Setting up the landscape to sell Bruno
newcastle is the best football team like if its true
Ho Ho Ho Ho...Merry Christmas Everyone...
...I'm A Bit Late Newcastle United Space-Cadets...
What depth Darren? We literally played the same team with no subs for about 7-8 matches.
There are too many clubs in Europe (as well as in the Prem ) who can at this moment in time remain ahead of us by continuing to spend millions on top class players despite eye watering debt not being reduced. When will the likes of Sky mention that each time they broadcast instead of mentioning us and oil money in the same breath when they know full well that we are not allowed to spend despite the fact that unlike most clubs we could pay off any debt in the blink of an eye.
We all know what the people that are now at our club are capable of, baffles me that people still don’t understand how it is slowly improving. Rome wasn’t built in a day
Can we get Darren a bigger office?
Our 40% revenue increase definitely isn’t going in to a new office for him is it
Just another 'fantastic transparency' comment
Basically saying we are going to be selling in the summer and it's not rocket science it's going to be Bruno.
Love wor Dazza 🥰🖤🤍🖤🤍
You don’t mind selling our top players now that you know the money will be reinvested into the playing squad and infrastructure.
Great that profits are helping the club how about recognising travelling away fans need investment too the club wants great support tickets and transport need to be given priority fans that love their club can’t be used as cash cows
Stadium rights will smesh all records and watch us fly.
Great news that Leazes Terrace is being knocked down and relocated elsewhere
I suspect there’s an ulterior motive behind this interview, I don’t think Darren is that naive to have not considered that the media would have taken snippets of this and run wild with misconstruing what was said and the potential for disruption that could bring
Selling your best players to league rivals that have dobr everything they could to change the rules to hold you back will look like a surrender. If we cannot afford to buy thats fair enough, but at least keep your best players and buy in the next window. If isak, botman or bruno (for price under is release clause) goes this window after the shambles of results we have had in the league then fans will voice concerns. Solanke just has to be a bad joke.
So who we selling then?
Quick but probably daft idea. Here goes. What if NUFC put a corporate suite catering for 25 ish up for sale for £100m and then PIF bought it off them? Raffle it off for every home game @ £500 a pop.... Instant £100m plus revenue from the raffle. Sure that would keep the ''new'' supporters happy and help with the funding.....
Spend some money!
*But FFP says noooooo*
Basically NUFC are skint.
buckle up. someone is getting sold
Reading between the lines we are going to lose a big player? Hope am wrong
So in other words. We sell Bruno for 100m.
I have a feeling Bruno’s gonna be off next year if not then he will be in 2025 😢😢😢
Like he was ever going to stick around……were you that dumb?
Very few players are one club players man, they are an investment, pay £35mil, sell for 100mil….. it’s business😂
All very well but still so much dead wood at the club and last window 200 million wasted thay could have been spent far better. The transfer policy is poor imo we struggle to move players on and bring in good deals from foreign clubs.
I was just thinking how wonderful all the comments are and then I come across you! Clueless...
@@JulieDorsetBelle You can't handle facts how's that my problem ?
@@AGeordieTravels_ You just carry on stamping your little feet...the rest of us are enjoying the ride...
@@JulieDorsetBelle You speak for yourself not the fan base 🤣🤣🤣 who do you think you are like
@@AGeordieTravels_ 🤣🤣🤣Sheesh hon' I know who I am - I also know you are not a true fan...just a belly aching whinger...
If u want to create revenue sign Cris Ronaldo!!
Basically the rules are nonsense.
I think its safe to say Bruno will probably get sold for a profit
Yh but not yet
Even i have a better printer than that one.
hahahahaha Saudi FC finding out that they cant spend their way out of everything is hilarious
We know all about FFP. Unlike some clubs…
Bruno is gone in the summer 😔
Stupid. Knew it would create drama in the press and alert but clubs to lure players away and it didn’t work because the return wasn’t enough. Absolutely stupid!! Awful interview. And don’t care who disagrees and if fans needed to know the stance or not, that almost caused chaos mid way through season.
Instead of selling the stars, Isak, Bruno, Longstaff, it's better to sell the many useless pieces, like Hall, Gordon, Miley, Barnes, Tonali, Emil Kraft, Javier Manquilo, Isaac Hayden, Matt Ritchy, Livramento, etc.
They haven't contributed much, Darren Eales has a brain, use it, don't put it on your butt.
Bring in Minteh, Solenka, Mitrovic, also several cheap but good Sunderland players
🚨 Mackem Alert! 🚨
MACKEM,your butt is big?
Justice for Jamal Khashoggi 😔💔
You do not care one bit about kashoggi, you were bigging up the mackems the other week!
It was self defence.
Commenting on a football channel get a grip
@@Kingy88LOL 👍
Who did he play for...?
40% in 2 seasons is ridiculous 🖤🤍
If a player is ready to move on so we can get a max cash in, that’s business…..problem is replacing them!
The new ownership continuously highlights how utterly crap Ashley was in every aspect
Think that's sounds like bruno will be away in the summer as we already have his replacement (Tonali). If we get 100 million for him I would go and get Tony from Brentford and Phillips from City..
