  1. how many points did 2nd place get last season? i guess thats the target?
  2. Was there a rumour about S.Taylor going to Villa/Everton?
  3. not asset-stripping. Ashley has lost big money with Newcastle, imo.
  4. Thats a pretty strong team, and their definitely is cover for the odd injury. If more players aren't sold, that team should do pretty well, and it would be surprising not to be in the top 3 at the end of the season.
  5. my guess: Geremi - 70k p/w Coloccini - 70k Gutierrez - 70k Duff - 70k Butt - 60k Barton - 60k Smith - 60k Xisco - 50k Nolan - 40k S Taylor - 40k Guthrie - 40k Ameobi - 30k R Taylor - 30k Harper - 30k others - 50k total = 770k p/w
  6. Can anyone list the current squad, and roughly how much each player earns per week? It would be interesting to see who the big earners still are, and maybe how much they are roughly worth if they were sold. anyone want to have a stab?
  7. - Lost - 24 - Battlestar Galactica - Smallville - Prison Break - The Wire
  8. what is your deadline passes without a resolution? what you gonna do?
  9. Bronwyn was hot. anyway, these boards are to chat about all that rubbish. sure we're bored of it, and yes we want some news & are waiting, but talking about it, and theorizing what may happen keeps us going until the new season starts. its not like there's any transfer speculation to keep us going.
  10. So you say that the turnover will now be £48mill. well if you look at the last accounts of Newcastle, i remember total salaries were around £70mill. Owen & a few others have left so lets say the wage bill is down to £60m (rather than the £65 mill being quoted). so turnover of £48m, payroll of £60m. seeing that the generally accepted wage/turnover figure is 60%, the salary bill needs to be reduced to around £29mill. that means the wage bill needs to come down by £31mill, which is a decrease of over 50%. now that looks bad, bad, bad to me.
  11. but you still need to get all the stuff up to the ISS in the first place!
  12. In Italy, peeople retire on 89% of their income!!
  13. £100 Million is a lot of money. Investigating the accounts take time to check for any skeletons in the closet. and they may have found something, and so revised their price accordingly.
  14. Linky? http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/910...an_on_Microsoft http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinio...4250235152.html there's loads of articles about it when they made the annoucement... just search on google news. oh and i meant Dollars not £'s, and it seems the tabloids i read roudned it to 50 billion, rather than 30-40 billlion. unless the fortune changed due to stockmarkets tumbling.
  15. He's bought better players but the prices he's paid have been obscene. i guess these prices are the market nowadays. Downing & Milner for £12mill are actually better value than £4mill for someone like Harewood. i think this is where O'Neill may have wasted a bit of money. but then Randy Lerner isn't that short of cash, so i guess O'Neill can afford to pay that little bit extra to get certain players.
  16. very true. i guess we also have homeless in the UK, but its just the scale of it that is astonishing in the USA. and the fact that they are meant to be one of the richest countries in the world, and even they don't have basic minimums.
  17. It's a registered charity that's how they found out where the bulk of the money was going (ie not to local causes). ah i see. so they think its going to a local good cause, but in reality its up to the owner to decide what a good cause is! i see the problem.
  18. he's been given sooo many chances though. at some point you have to say enough is enough. and keeping him whilst he's on £60k/week, and the image rights deal as well, thats stupid. there are many players who are top championship players, who would fight & work hard for the team, who would cost less than half that.
  19. also 2 points: 1) i wouldn't buy it if it was 80% discounted. 2) who voted 10/10!!!!! crazy people.
  20. oh come on, its totally awful! not to say their haven't been other awful colours in the past, but nowadays with marketing depts & specialist PR consulants, that sort of monstrosity shouldn't have even been dreamt about.
  21. i also wouldn't take a pay-cut if i was him. its the fault of whoever offered him that contract.
  22. ahhh, i thought it was till the end of June! in that case, it makes sense. as long as Newcastle doesn't have to pay anything after July.
