Dear Mr Llamearse, I never thought Id say this to anyone but why cant you be more like Mr Sullivan? Admittedly you're already half way there, short, squat, funny hair (or lack of) and an ability to rub people up the wrong way by just looking at them but come on its not difficult. Just look at your customer base and get an idea of what they want, then speak to some people who actually know about football and see what it takes to make a club thats going to move forward. West Ham have done it so why cant you?

I dont believe the club offers direct debit payments other than through the 3 year scheme. We're not exactly on the ball when it comes to helping the customers out

I wish it on me. I only go to work on the hope I'll be made redundant (that view only lasts until the Tories manage to change the terms of course )

Im on the case...

It was, any chance to get another hour with the bairn and life is good. Hope little fella is feeling better soon, fingers crossed we'll escape that stuff.

Does a cracking Mixed Grill too if I remember correctly. Has nobody mentioned this place yet?

Im in a good mood, works canny at the mo and an unexpected lunch in the park with the missus and little fella has lifted spirits even more so no ranting here.

Remarkable that we need a PR department seeing as the last statement said there'd be no more statements

Musician find me a skinhead, extra points for bovver boots n braces.

Wasn't KK's departure 'mutual consent' originally according to the club...? And it was, Ashley, Llamarse and the dwarf all agreed he should go.

We had the bairns christening in the Rock last Sunday, quality little room in a great pub.

102 points is a fantastic achievement, Hughton has done an excellent job and more than deserves to be sat in the seat come August nobody is denying that. To assume however that those of us who see the season for what it is ie a pointless season in a wothless league we never should have been in, will be dancing if when we start losing games is both a load of bollocks and a cunts trick frankly. At the same time, to hold Hughton up as some kind of master tactician/ best manager we've ever had simply because of one good season is the ultimate in stupidity and a stain on the names I mentioned above. Hughton will never be fit to polish the boots of Sir Bob or Joe Harvey and can only dream of achieving half of what KK did, anyone with half a brain can see that. Thats not slagging CH off its merely pointing out facts and the stat is not valid until the playing fields have been levelled ie the end of Hughtons reign in the hotseat. So, as I said earlier, lets pull the stat back out in December and see what percentage we're sitting on then eh?

yes. File this in the "hold" pile. Presumably, you and Pud will be ing in the streets when we lose our first games then.... Go fuck yourself, you're getting confused between realism and stupidy a la the basis of this thread. Me, Leazes and just about everyone else on this board are realistic to know that come December that stat will be way below the 61% it is now and will most likely be heading southwards at a hefty rate. If it isnt then I'll probably have a wank in Fenwicks window. There'll be no jumping for joy however to be proven right on this one. I used to get accused of this sort of shit on NO too. Like aye, Mike Ashley has really got us all jumping for joy since he bought the club. You may be right about Hughton it's not rocket science to assume he might not do as well as Keegan....but at the same time you're not making anything better for the club by constantly whinging on an internet message board either. Fucking hell LM hes got us banged to rights there. Might as well shut up shop now as the whole things pointless. What good are we doing in moaning about it eh? Best bet would be to look on the bright side and see this for what it is, a wankfest over the greatest ever Newcastle United manager. You can take your Keegan, Joe Harvey and Sir Bobby, god rest his soul and stick two fingers to the lot of them cos king Chris is here to show them how its done. 102 points in a pointless league and suddenly hes a worldbeater. Thats why Man U are monitoring the situation for the season after next although best not rush in there Chrissy boy cos the England job is surely on the cards after the World Cup. Good job Mike will have it covered with a contract worthy of his fantastic achievements, none of them will be able to poach him eh?

*makes mental note to resurrect this thread in December.

I have to admit I must have misunderstood it. Id thought it was the ability of the opposition to call a vote of no confidence in the government. Currently as it stands when a vote of no-confidence is carried out you need a simple majority to have it passed. In normal circumstances thats 50.15% (326 out of 650 MPs), under the new rules you need 55% to pass a vote of no-confidence which would mean 357 MPs had to agree. Is that not the case?

Fuck me thats tragic.

Pitch looks fucking dismal mind, that's a disgrace for an FA cup final

Allegedly fat Ash isn't charging us interest no. Like I said the other week I'm waiting with interest to see SJ Holdings accounts.

piss in their coffee

£6479. Therefore overnight when they bring this in, everyone who is on the standard code (and earns £10k or more) will suddenly get an additional £3521 before ttheyre taxed or rather, will be better off by £704.20 per year. Thats a serious amount of money to suddenly lose from about £20m people. Unless my maths is out thats £14,000,000,000 per year. On top of that, werent the tories also going to reverse the decision to up NI by 1%? if thats the case then thats another £45 per person on that first £10k that wont be coming in (admittedly it isnt now but it was planned to be) so take another £900m just the coffers just for that £10k never mind all the earnings on top of that. I wonder where thats going to come from then? and thats before we even start to reduce the deficit.

how do you define "silly money". With hindsight ? smith, vidulka, and for his contributions to the circus, barton....for a start so its with hindsight then ? We could have overruled the manager though ....... money that would threaten the club's future. obviously clubs don't survive without debt but it has to debt that is sustainable. if we'd carried on the way we were we could have imploded. We imploded anyway. i meant financially, a la pompey or leeds If we'd carried on the way we were then turnover wouldnt have dropped dramatically, sponsorship deals would have been higher and most importantly we wouldnt have spent a year in the football equivalent of room 101.

Im not sure how this whole thing works? If the plan is, as has been intimated, to reduce the losses year on year and break even in 5 years then how are people thinking we will be debt free? Seeing as we were £111m in debt to Ashley plus a £20m overdraft at the end of the 08/09 season and we allegedly lost £32.5m in 09/10 then that would put us currently £162.5m in debt. If the plan is to reduce the losses to £28m this coming season then we'll be £200m in the red. At the end of year 2 it'll be £222m, year 3 will be £238m and 4 about £245m, so by the time we break even we'll be sitting on a debt of around £250m. How is that financially stable? We'll not be debt free, we'll have bigger debts than those that took Portsmouth out however we could well be a league or two down on their position at the time.

Yes we do, its called spending to accumulate, the better a team you have the higher up the league you should get. Higher up the league means more money and puts you in a better position to attract players the next season. Based on what? blind optimisim thats what. This is the same squad that got us relegated minus Martins, Owen, Viduka, Duff, Beye, Bassong but plus the likes of Best, Routledge, Williams and Simpson. Why would you even contemplate building a Premiership squad around loan players? one of the things people keep spouting about as a reason not to sell is to not break up a tight knit squad. How do you think that will survive if we keep dipping into loans and then handing them back? If someone does well on loan for us from the likes of Arsenal and Spurs then all that happens is their value increases and we couldnt afford to buy them if we wanted to so off they go back. How depressing is that going to be? fuck off man, a never say die attitude is a piece of piss to have when you've got 90 points and are leading the league. Do you honestly think that will exist when Stoke comprehensively beat us at SJP to leave us floundering at the bottom? for fucks sake how do you think that breaking even in 5 seasons will be a benefit if we're in the 1st division pulling in 10k crowds against Darlo? You think too much, its not healthy for you. You should be, by rights we should all be shitting bricks at the prospect of whats to come. Wide scale sales of players because "once theyve had their heads turned by things such as ambition or competing then theres nothing you can do to keep hold of them" ©Llambias 2009. This squad will be decimated from the already fragile one it is, I do believe that the likes of Colo, Enrique, Jonas and Nolan will not hang around to become the scapegoats for another relegation. Thats on the back of the almost certain departure of Taylor. Once we get to December and hes seen Liverpool stick 8 past us then history will repeat itself and Harper will also bugger off. A few cheeky bids for Carroll (if hes not helping her Majesty out) and Lovenkrands could see them waving goodbye too. What will we replace them with? loan players from Birmingham and Wolves?

Yellow huts tbh
