Jesus fucking christ on a bike, is this chump for real??? Got to be either a WUM, a fuckwit from NO or a mental patient

I wouldn't say the fans of Newcastle Utd have called for their manager's heads any more than the majority of teams in the prem have or would've done in similar situations - the difference being that the press have made a lot out of us due to their fixation with us. I'm not going to talk about Keegan or Allardyce because anyone who thinks Keegan's a quitter or Allardyce is a decent manager doesn't know what they're talking about imo.

Gooooaaaaaallll!!! And Sir Bob's loving it

Gotta love Sir Bob, like you other guys I felt a tear welling up, he's still an inspirational chap and forever a legend. 2-2 at half time, come on lads!

Doubt it could be any worse tbh.

they were just making a point to Ashley man !! seriously though, what it needs to speed things up is for Hughton and Calderwood to resign leaving the club totally rudderless and for ALL the players to hand in transfer requests - I'm sure someone has the nous to be able to ring Ashley's Head office, get a fax number etc. this would shake Ashley up and perhaps make him more minded to accept either the £48m cash offer on the table or the structured deal that could give him his £100m IF things go to plan for the US consortium. That's the point though, doing all those things wouldn't shake Ashley up at all because to be honest he really couldn't give a shit how bad things get - in fact I should think he's having a good chuckle about how much pain he's putting the club and fans through.

I'm sick and tired of the whole sorry state of things, it's like watching the death throws of someone terminally ill for amusement.

got to agree with you again. Turnover will be at least £35m and this will increase when Shearer arrives as he will sell 10,000 s/t no problem. When he arrives other income will flow in via merchandising, box sales, footfall increase etc. £57m ? More media speculation. Everyone knows that the ''books'' will look bad and there are precious few real assets other than the players, but there is no chance he is going to let it go for £50m - no chance. Selling Beye, Martins and Bassong will bring in £16m alone. S. Taylor is worth another £6m, Colo £5m, Jonas £5m, Enrique £3m, Duff £3m, Nolan £3m, Barton £5m, Smith £4m, Guthrie £2m, R. Taylor £1m, Harper £2m, Carroll £1m, Ameobi £1m, Geremi nowt, Butt nowt, and Xisco £2m. Total worth of player assets = £58m. Training ground and land across from SJP = £10M ?? THERE'S NEARLY £70M FOR STARTERS. Someone's had their nose in the Tipp-Ex bottle tbh what exactly do you disagree with ??? ???? in the real world, beye in his 30's 1.5 -2m tops.................bassong 4.5-5m tops......................95k per week wages martins is'nt finding a buyer. you'd have to be on something stronger than tippex to think there's 16m worth there. Duff 3m with his wages????????? Really think you should think more along the lines of just getting them off the books without fees, the longer you keep shite on silly money the worse it gets. Lmao, £4m-£5m for Bassong

Uber-sweet!!!

See, I just think there's several other top teams with tops worse than our away kit this season: Clicky

Got to laugh, just heard the report on the news and they were saying how Gerrad was cheered as he left court - I bet it was the fucking jury!

Good point tightly argued The way I see it, a number of bids have been placed and Mike has given them access to the books, those parties have done the appropriate reading and have decided they don't like what they see (thanks to both Fat Fred and Fat Mike) and have either walked away or confirmed their bid but at a vastly reduced price and the fat one is holding out for more money Fat, greedy, un-realistic, complete monging excuse for a human being. I feel thats a little harsh, I'm neither fat nor un-realistic Hehe, sorry bud, I should have stated 'Ashley is...'

Actually it's given me a quality idea and has set an interesting precedence. Ashley needs to be coaxed back in to Newcastle where Alan Shearer can kick f*ck out of him, then when the trial comes round a jury full of Geordies can find him not guilty too. Joke of a justice system tbh, Gerrard should at least have been fined and given a suspended sentence - there's no way it can be self defense otherwise everyone could walk around hitting people on the off chance that the other person was going to hit them

But he's not just anyone, he's Steeeeeeevie Geeeeeeeee!

Yep, and haven't the media heard of internet shopping? I don't queue

I'm going to go cry...

Thing is you just know this is true and not the usual media bollocks

Don't you just get the urge to brick his face whenever you see it? Hated doesn't even begin to describe it.

Exactly, the bloke's a complete cunt and should be thankful for whatever he can get for the mess he's made. Just take the loss, he's lost more gambling, fat chav scumbag.

We need some out and out wingers to provide the balls in, even at CCC level I'd think Duff was too slow and Jonas can't cross for toffee. Besides which they all want out, potentially if all our current players play as well as they can when motivated and trained properly we might be okay but without a bit more creativity we just won't score the goals needed.

QFT. I don't think you can accurately work out owt to do with the finances because we haven't got access to the books. For all we know, Jonas could be on 25k and free school dinners. Nothing's 100%, just roughly estimating based on previously mentioned figures. I'm not saying any of it's gospel but it gives an idea of how the wage bill could exceed £65m with reasonable ease (and bear in mind we've overpaid players in the past for doing very little).

As much as I'd like this to be true sadly it doesn't work out like that, just doing some simple sums for what the current numbered squad gets paid brings the wage figure up to roughly £45m, that's before the youth team, un-numbered reserves and non playing staff and management/board are paid. The whole mess is down to Ashley getting us relegated, regardless of what figures the previous board put in place we were okay until we dropped out of the Prem. Basically we need a new owner to come in soon otherwise things will just get worse and worse because Ashley can't/won't maintain the squad as it is and certainly won't invest any money in to getting new players once he's attempts to lighten the wage bill by selling off our big earners. We're fucked and need a miracle. A miracle will come. Back to your 'Stay Frosty' self then bud?
