#NUFC issue a word-perfect, measured & fairly gracious response to Isak’s petition to divorce. “This is a proud club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates.”
@henrywinter How do you see it playing out, Henry?
@Brett_leverton Up to Liverpool whether they come in with a fairer bid
@henrywinter Great statement. Firm but amicable.
@alexmacgregor__ Agreed. That seems the general consensus
@henrywinter Response is useless because he is not playing for them ever again
@henrywinter Who'd sign for them knowing that they break promises and trap players
@henrywinter Why did player go to the public in the first place? Bad decision
@henrywinter The prodigal son shall soon return..
@henrywinter Class act from NUFC there.
@henrywinter My club!!!
@henrywinter Nothing gracious about it, if they've broken promises that they made to Isak. Obviously he was naïve to accept verbal assurances from a club owned by people who chop up journalists. Does their reputation for doing such things worry you, Henry? 🇸🇦 🪓 🪚 🧳
@henrywinter Clubs can act ruthlessly as well, just look at how Chelsea and Man U ostracise players they deem surplus. In this case it looks like he had assurances that he could move this summer to further his career, but now this is being blocked.
@henrywinter But @henrywinter have you ignored isaks statement. He wont play for them again. His bridges have been burnt. Newcastle statement was weak for alot of people. He doesn't want to reintegrate with the team!!! We sold suarez,torres,coutinho reluctantly to get to were we are now.
@henrywinter Let's be real it's cuck behaviour.
@henrywinter Why are Liverpool getting painted as bad guys in this Henry? They’ve reacted to an opportunity, made a bid that’s been rejected, and walked away and kept silent since. They never do business in public, well known for it. Yet the anger directed to them is off the scale.
@henrywinter Sorry to say but when your leadership are from a place run by despotic leaders, with no appreciation of dissenting voices. Well what do you expect. The worst possible advert for Saudi ownership In the Prem. Isak is a pro footballer not an indentured servant!
@henrywinter Why the F are you giving a subjective opinion on the statement ? Get actual concrete info, that might be more useful
@henrywinter Fairly weak and timid response tbf. Not to mention disingenuous.
@henrywinter This is a proud club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Hahaha and their owners are who again???😂😂😂
@henrywinter So they were happy to have Isak be lambasted as the villain for months on end to no avail, but when he speaks for himself, they throw all toys out the pram, soil their appeal for all super signings, and render themselves into a period of PSR obscurity. Low IQ Club.
@henrywinter No they didn't Henry.....other journalists are picking up the vagueness and flimsy wording from it..." Sale conditions haven't been met" ?...so they do want to sell him then??
@henrywinter Henry, they murder journalists. Forget this transfer saga, how can a journalist, a highly respected journalist, endorse anything that regime comes out with? Have we all lost our minds?
@henrywinter It's the most open, and well-informed response I've seen in a while. The role of crisis comms in this instance should be to become the end of the story. Too many words, too much fluff.
@henrywinter Isak called Newcastle family a bunch of liars, publicly. Ain’t no family feel to it anymore! Maybe your family moves like this Henry? 🤔
@henrywinter It’s making the club unpopular every player has a price tag and as a matter of fact he has come out publicly to he is not going to play for you anymore that’s embarrassing
@henrywinter Call him a liar but tell him to come back as a family member. If he stays, he will play for Newcastle. No doubt but how well ? Not so sure.
@henrywinter Newcastle Utd are calling Isak a liar and in the next sentence state they are looking forward’ to welcoming him back into the family’ And that’s measured and gracious? Wow. Absolute mess. Nothing professional about any of it.
@henrywinter Henry, the last sentence in particular reads like statement from an abusive parent.
@henrywinter I don’t agree, seems Isaks issue is around the promised contract that never came and the money went to other players. Newcastle hiding behind transfer when the contract seems to be the broken promise. Sneaky from Newcastle
@henrywinter It's utterly stupid. Isak isn't playing for them again, so they might as well just accept it and sell. They are embarrassingly bad in their transfer dealings, that's their own issue.
@henrywinter Any thoughts on why he hasn't actually asked to leave yet? Also, if the club say the talks are imaginary, does he need to be checked out? Is he okay?
@henrywinter You mean after calling him a liar, not exactly saying he's not for sale but "we don't foresee"? That's a word perfect statement to you? Because for me it's speaking out of both sides of your mouth and leaving the door open.
