Murrr Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 The ban will be for all domestic competitions so he'll be back for the rest of the league cup run. I didn't see it, in a surprising turn of events I wasn't watching football.I see St. James' Park is likely to be renamed for some extra corporate sponsorship money now that Mashley and Hughton are staying put. Can't wait to find out what the new name will be.Sports Direct Arena, tbh.The renaming of the stadium is perhaps the worst part of all of this.Naming Hughton as manager? Meh.Keeping the club for another year? Meh.Selling the naming rights for SJP? FUCK OFF AND DIE.How can he honestly believe this is a good idea? It's like he's going out of his way to deliberately piss us off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsinho Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Pretty sure Northern Rock don't have the cash to stump up for extra bonus sponsorship.I'd like it to be "Greggs - The Bakers - The Stadium". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 No chance of it being named after the late Bob Rob? Or is it whoever stumps up the most money, rather than what fans would actually want/like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah - it's just to raise as much cash as possible.It will end up being called Sports Direct Arena or something similarly crap.Nah. He's selling the naming rights to try and get some outside investment. Surely to goodness he wouldn't change the name of SJP on the back of his own investment...That would almost certainly send Newcastle fans over the edge.

Absolutely delighted that Phil Brown's staying at Hull though. There is no man more obnoxious in the Premiership; I wouldn't have anyone to laugh at without hearing his stupid over-inflated opinion over himself every Saturday.
