What’s the point of “communicado” - when they freely admit they lie to the fans?? The league should look no further for an example of what they are NOT looking for in their 'fit and proper' owners test. UTD111 says:

It seems I am not alone in voicing the fact that poor communication from those running the club, has been a major source of frustration to the fans. There has been a complete failure on the part of the PR department, using the official site for a few terse sentence`s now and then, more like Tass than NUFC. Perhaps it may be possible to open a line of communication with the club that would satisfy the fans interest, concerning the future of their club. I realize it`s asking a lot and the difficulty involved implementing such a plan, perhaps a petition via e- mail. An occasional blog here from the clubs PR department, could generate both interest and a sense of rapprochement. Yes I realize this is not what a lot of anti Ashley hardliners are interested in, but perhaps it would be of interest to some. The second being, the rebuilding of the side, this is where the "Mickey Toons" could have their say. I am sure every fan is passionate concerning his choice of players he would like to see in black and white. A debate on how to rebuild, who to manage who to coach, etc. etc. Going to start off by saying do we really need this unknown Nigerian striker with sixteen goals in fifty nine games, i thought we already had a big striker with a similar, actually a better average.

You will never get communication from the incumbents in charge as they basically do not know what they are talking about and are yes men to Ashley saying tings that will not upset him and deprive them of their comfortable living. This will only change I would like (and then it is not definate) when the new buyer is installed. It is critical to be honest with your customers (the supporters) even at times when the message is not what they really want to hear, but honesty will aways be rewarded with loyalty, the trouble with Newcastle is that it is still suffering from the image of decades of mismanagement i.e. put 11 donkeys out there in black and white and 50,000 will turn up to cheer them on. What would I like from the official site - honesty. They will never nor do they need to ever reveal everything that is going on some of which is highly confidential and critical to running a good business. Some of our fans demand information that no business would ever release into the public arena but good businesses tell their customers what they can and what they cannot release and with that honesty they get in return understanding, support and loyalty. Just as we all think we could do a better job at managing the team than any manager that is in situ so we all think we could make a better job of running the business when really the vast majority have no idea what is involved in running a successful business. Does M&S reveal everything they are about to do - hell no! their competitors would steam in and take the advatage but their customers know the senior managers are honest, upfront and more importantly CAPABLE of running a successful business. They are not run by a bingo caller, a gambler and pile it high and flog it cheap individual I will not use the word entrepreneur to describe him. We need a mission statement that tells us what is the REAL 5 year plan for the club and what devices have been put in place to measure each step of the way to ensure we are on target to achieve the 5 year plan, that is what every successful business does and today football is a business.

They regularly have Niall Quinn or members of the board attending local meetings and events around Sunderland. When their fans abandoned them when they were relegated it was the club's chairman who went out an re-engaged with the fans that looked like they were never coming back. If Moat gets in I would like to see NUFC doing a similar thing, regular interviews with the Chronicle/Journal/Shields Gazette, volunteering for phone-ins, directly engaging with supporters groups like the NUST or perhaps contacting forums like this one to allow us to put our concerns to them. Sometimes all we want are simple answers. It's not too much to ask. If the club can win back the trust of Tyneside, the rest of the media would soon fall in line.
