Newcastle United confirmed the record-breaking departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool in the most minimal way possible — a brief statement of just 37 words. For a player who often carried the Magpies through difficult moments, many expected a more respectful farewell. Instead, the club’s announcement was as blunt as it was short, and the fans’ reactions proved even harsher.
Rather than mourning his exit, a large section of the Newcastle faithful unleashed a wave of anger and bitterness online. Their comments made it clear that, despite Isak’s contributions on the pitch, many supporters feel betrayed by the striker’s decision to swap St. James’ Park for Anfield.
Some fans dismissed his time at the club as forgettable, with bennufc_18 writing: “Beautiful, he has no legacy here.” Others went straight for venom, as @ChrisTranter12 exploded: “Good, he deserves nothing but a big fat f** you!”*
Several supporters mocked the announcement itself, suggesting that 37 words were far too generous. @Scott_D39 claimed: “37 words too many. A rat emoji would have done.” Meanwhile, @mfraser75 added: “Doesn’t deserve that many words tbh.”
The insults didn’t stop there. @TheArtOfWar6 accused the Swedish international of betrayal, calling him a “scummy scummy individual,” while another fan demanded his name be wiped from the club’s history, declaring: “Now erase him from any record.”
In short, Newcastle supporters aren’t just unhappy about losing a star striker — they’re actively erasing his impact, dismissing his legacy, and ensuring his time in black-and-white will be remembered with resentment rather than fondness
