Excuse me Mr Lee, can you get your factory workers to work harder so we can buy better players, thanks
Also...
we are nursery for his china teamHe said part of Lee’s business model could be to send Chinese players to Newcastle to give them experience then sell them back into the Chinese football market,

I concur. Surprisingly intelligent. Isn't this guy a former gypsy?
Seriously though - he has given a surprisingly honest and enlightening summary of the motivation behind the proposed purchase.
I am sure he is being paid well to broker the deal though and there should be no obligation to have him as part of the team going forward.
The only question I do have is - if this guy is prepared to pay US$500,000 for a playground for his employees why would he not be prepared to shell out a lot more than that on 1 or 2 top quality players to achieve his ACL goals sooner rather than later?
I called this ages ago
The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
That was legit one of the better Herald articles about the ownership. None of this reused garbage they sling everyday. Least it cleared the air on various points.
And it sounds like Lawrie likes the work Scotty Miller has done and wants him to stay and he been telling Mr Lee he same thing
Hardly a big call, given this bloke's history
agree that the article actually read pretty well for The Herald writing about the Jets
I'm also thinking McKinna may actually be the bloke to turn these jerks from disorganised, useless losers into mid table mediocrity

Nothing like taking a quote out of context..
oops, we have contender. You're really into this arent ya einy
The biggest thing i took from the article was that at this stage links to McKinna as CEO are quite tedious. He is just pushing himself for a job since he wants to get back into football, which is fair enough. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a gig at the big table but not CEO as some have reported.
Quite amazing how, despite the length of the article/interview, that is the one thing you took out of it.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the ownership announcement will be on the 14th of June.
Just a wild guess.
Fact is - we got more honest info from Lawrie in one interview than from the FFA and CEO in the last 6 months.
Sign him up!
We're dealing with the Chinese, the date will have to have an "8" in it.
Cant argue with this at all
I couldn't give a flying hoot about honesty. I want success. I want someone who can run the business properly and will setup the team with enough resources on and off the field to win trophies. I don't care what happens behind the scenes as long as they make money and we win trophies. The less it costs me financially comes close after those 2.
what's with all this sensible discussion on the forum?
where's the monster raving loonies going on about OMG!! GyP0000 ScUM!1!!!1!!
I think after years of years of failure and pathetic performances were happy to accept anyone who can help our club become the success it should be (even if that person is a gypo scum lord)
He must have the job despite his denials. I cannot imagine anyone making public statements about what the new owner's motives are if they genuinely still were hoping to be employed by them
