I don’t buy the “admin error”
This is such a rare occurrence when you consider the number of transfers, 3 times in 2 years?? Not a chance. The money is drying up big time and they pulled it.

The cynic inside me suspects their interests were more stopping a direct relegation rival strengthening than actually signing the player.

A bit like those Geordies did with Wood?

Possibly. Although we are heading for conspiracy theory territory again.

If I was McGuire I’d be telling them to shove their ‘pre contract agreement’ where the sun doesn’t shine.

That would be fantastic. If Carlsberg did the football results - Turds 0 Potters 1 ( McNally 90+7 ).

Hopefully not. Don’t want them getting any new manager bounce vibes. Let him stay, there’s a chance he could get them relegated.

If you have a billion then it's like losing 80m. Depends why you lost it and if it continues as to whether it is any sort of problem surely?

Nope...look at the chart...the fall occurs over the last single day.
I guess it could be following a big ex-divi date maybe, but it'd have to be a whopping payout to generate such a big leveller.

Another 3%fall today by the look of it. Venkeys wealth evaporating before our eyes?
I note the current company value appears (to my uneducated eyes) to tot up to around £250m.... which suggests they're far from the financial behemoth, running into the tens of billions, that has been suggested.

Conspiracy theorists will call it a coincidence but when a 6ft protest banner gets unfurled, global markets quiver.

Risky appointing Eustace who has a really limited amount of managerial experience at any decent level.
It goes without saying I hope he bombs.

Looking at their run-in further up the thread, he's going to need all of any managerial skills he has to stop their downward slide.
Let's hope we're soon calling him Agent Eustace.

The thing with that is that he was signed early in the window. Newcastle could've activated his release clause on Deadline Day. Instead, we were given time to find a replacement in Weghorst.

With the way that went we might as well have waited until deadline day to sell him.

Anyone familiar with the Chronicles of Narnia books might remember elderly Trumpkin saying "The boy's useless?" on being introduced to Eustace. Prophetic, perhaps?

Totally different style of play to the departing manager, if the players couldn't hack playing out from the back after nearly 2 years of his coaching and signing players to play that style I doubt very much they'll adapt to Eustace's more direct style. I think it will be like when Jones went to Southampton.
