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.

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?

I had to double check that I wasnt on mikeashleyisgod.co.uk Are you sure it wasn't his personal blog site?

Just read that, it's 100% how I see things, desperate times for us and not a hope in sight. The bottom line is Mike Ashley has destroyed Newcastle United Football Club, this is the end

I'd give him 6 months inside with 1 yr suspended. JudgeParky© has spoken. Perhaps throw in a 200,000 to a charity of the victims choice. Sounds more than fair but he won't get a custodial sentence due to it being his first offence.

Fucking scrote, I hope they throw the book at him! It'll never happen though.

They've all got confused over which Magpies they were signing up to

That'll learn em!

I feel for you more than anyone pundit, you might be stuck with that cock in your chair for months. Yeah, still, nobody to blame but myself. It's become a badge of pain to my suffering!

I'm starting to think I'm going to be stuck with this name. Part of me finds that amusing, but in a sad, masochistic way. I think we're going to have to resign ourselves to the fact that Mike Ashley is a chump of a businessman and we're going to be stuck with him until the club dies off totally, I'm really thinking we're done for.

I really don't see it as a bad kit, I think all this business about it being a bad one has been blown out of proportion and a lot of the media has jumped on the bandwagon. Just my opinion like.

Big whoop, we knew he was on contract til the end of July.

Can't blame the fans for not signing up to season tickets with so much uncertainty going on, stupid to report on it tbh - it's not a boycott as much as people just not wanting to purchase something without knowing what they're buying. And Doug Hall's having a laugh.

Yep, RIP old timer, did his country proud.

This 'Roy Keane Effect', would that be the same one that managed to get promotion after spending a lot more than the other clubs in that league and then couldn't hack the Prem?
