So close … to really like Liverpool and their fans after winning the Carabao Cup.
While they actually praised our supporters and the team, we congratulated our first domestic trophy for generations and even the victory parade.
So close … to have trust and optimism that our team was ready to participate in the top six ‘big teams’ with a steady recruitment of new players to a great team.
Ready to compete against the best in the English competition and in Europe competition, this and every season.
But now, as the season approaches, it has been one of the most depressing and disappointing transfer toysters, even in our restless Mike Ashley -bleached past, with more Turndowns than the pages in a charity store, paperback,
So close … to actually fear this season and the eternal disappointment of ‘what could be’?
If only Newcastle United had a professional administration and transfer policy to actually attract and buy the players we needed – like all top teams.
Then come back ashworth, everything is forgiven.
More unanswered questions than a Donald Trump press conference.
Do you find so much to offer for players (James Trafford).
Never go close to the asking price (Marc Guehi).
Making things so public in the press, we were always overbid or broadcast by the other teams (Hugo Etitike).
At least I can go back to Liverpool for poaching our best players during my life again, but sick from the ‘what might be bens’ …
