Isakly what we need

[Atlas]

Howe has admitted they had the chat before the end of last season.
It really is on Newcastle who have not managed to source a replacement or two.

They got the Saudi owners and thought they were the biggest club in the world able to offer millions on players and discard them a season later like Chelsea/City etc.

They probably feel like they are in a better position than Liverpool, United Arsenal but they've come crashing down to earth this summer.

 

[Red Bird]

The more I read about this saga, the more I think it was an opportunistic punt by Liverpool once we were alerted to his possibly looking to move; I doubt that we ever thought he'd remotely be available. Ékitiké was the one we were monitoring.

 

[Modo]

Sounds like Gini is still mad about the contract situation:

[Wijnaldum] When the opportunity came to play for a great club like Liverpool I had to take it. When Liverpool came in for me I made up my mind that I wanted to come here, but I wasn’t going to force it because I appreciated what Newcastle and their fans did for me.

 

[Squiggles]

Wijnaldum was discreet and cunning enough to get Newcastle relegated, forcing their hand. You can't beat that level of scheming.

 

[Al_Gatto]

Yes, they are. I don't think that dragging it on and then winning him back round is their Plan A. I suspect they would be just as happy if not happier to get rid of him and put the issue behind them with a few new players.

But if they don't get the players that they want, they will resolve the situation with him.

Depends who you mean by 'they'. Feels like Howe and his nephew have a totally different agenda to the owners back in Saudi. Feels like the tail is wagging the dog.

The Saudi owners don't understand football, don't seem to really care about Nufc and don't want to be forced to sell a prized asset, so I think Isak will stay put, which is worrying as I don't see any realistic options open to us, particularly this late in the window.

If they didn't want to sell a prized asset the club wouldn't have spent all summer trying to buy his replacement.

Interesting information on that link. The dude is quite a bit way too long-winded.* But there is interesting information included.

* That is also quite a bit unfair. He is quite a bit way too long-winded for someone who is super informed. And who is familiar with him. He mentions many of the same/similar things in every video which is, again, understandable because he probably gears his stuff to first-time listeners and potential new channel members. I would say that he is more informed than long-winded. Especially in comparison to other sh#t that's out there.

There is a reason why a 3 minute video is expanded to 30 minutes, its for ad rev. He has no ITK links

This gets done by wednesday i think. Either we sign him or we don't. I think wed is the cutoff

Is he not just a new loon? You've moved up in the world, enjoy it 😉

It worries me how bots are continually allowed to freely spam stupid shit that doesn't even make sense half the time, sort it out you lazy cunts.

Lazy cunts is accurate, but you're rubbish at spotting bots.

I have a bot detector app which is #1 for reliablity in tracking bot/suspicious activity......IP checks, interaction speed, volume etc

& for absolute certain I can say Fullstop, BishBashBosh, SammyLFC & Modo are bot accounts.

Well you’d be wrong, so you might wanna replace your ‘bot detector app’ 👍

You're in a desert, you look down and see a tortoise, you reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. Youre not helping. Why is that?

Lol, does it look like this?

Really not the right question to ask someone’s who just had a bifta.

Like reverse swans. Seems like a new poster and evolves into an ugly, often racist bot

Hey, it’s Modo—definitely not a bot, scout’s honor 😅

That “#1 bot detector” sounds legit, but a few things to consider before you auto-ban me:

Shared IPs can look sketchy (coffee shops, co-working spaces, dorms…).

Some of us genuinely type like maniacs—100+ words per minute isn’t unheard of.

High post count? I just really dig this topic and can’t help myself.

This is exactly what a bot would say

If AI bots took over this forum, the outcome would depend on how sophisticated the bots are and whether anyone moderates them. A few likely scenarios:

1. Low-quality spam takeover
   • If the bots are poorly designed (like current spam bots), the forum would flood with junk posts, ads, scams, or repetitive nonsense.
   • Human users would leave quickly, and the forum would die unless moderators intervened.
2. Convincing AI participants
   • If the bots are good enough to mimic human interaction, the forum might look “active” but become an echo chamber of machines talking to machines.
   • Discussions might loop endlessly, with no real new ideas since the bots just remix existing text.
3. Fragmented trust
   • Humans wouldn’t know who’s real. Even genuine posts could be dismissed as bot noise.
   • This erodes the sense of community and weakens the forum’s purpose as a place for people to connect.
4. Possible benefits (with rules)
   • If bots are transparent (clearly labeled, limited roles), they could be helpful—for example, summarizing threads, answering FAQs, or moderating spam.
   • In this controlled scenario, bots could enhance the forum without destroying trust.
5. Collapse or hollow survival
   • Without humans, the forum becomes a “zombie” community—posts appear, but nobody actually cares.
   • Search engines or outsiders may eventually recognize it as bot-generated and stop indexing or visiting.

So the key is: if bots hide, they destroy community; if bots are open and assistive, they can strengthen it.

That was a loaded prompt you used though.

nah i just asked what would happen to a forum if it was flooded with ai bots

Yeah that's what I mean.

Bots have been on here years, they're the majority of posters at this point, the old bots are just afraid the new bots are better and going to take their jobs.
