The club purchase is separate - and you’re right, it was £305m (PIF’s share of that was £244m - they have since bought a further 5% from Staveley’s previous stake) Ashley’s loan was part of that number - which was about £140m at that point

I believe that the North East is the only region where knife crime has rose. I’d be interested in a more in depth look though. Does that include only stabbings, and threats with a knife, or does it include being stopped and carrying a knife or something that can be used likewise? Both Durham constabulary, and Northumbria police feature below London Met in numbers for crime statistics. No North East City or Town requires in the UK’s top 10 for crime either. I’m not dismissing that the North East doesn’t have these problems, in fact I’m well aware of it, and well aware of the causes (poverty). What I’m saying is though is that for every success story of children escaping poverty in London you have countless others dragged down under it. There are success stories of escaping poverty in the North East as well.

Tino must be injured right? Very odd that they benched him and didn't bring him on either, considering he looked like one of their best players and probably most experienced.

They need to ‘consult’ the supporters. And ‘consult’ might be ‘heads up - we’re changing the home kit’ edit: the same rules protect the club crest - which is why the club are ‘consulting’ the supporters. They’re still doing it.

You have a head for figures so feel massively under qualified to chip in is the 338m what accounts show they have put in? Assume that doesn't include the club cost? I think that was 305m? Did we also pay little Mike back his loan money or was that part of the 305 I try not to remember? Genuinely interested not trying to put you on the spot 😁

Wouldn’t worry. That Leeds pic is a terrible AI edit. Noon badge on sleeve. Zoom in on the boots 😂

It’s no-ones debate, feel free to £338m invested so far - the club spends its own money too of course. It’s not chicken feed, but it’s not close to a billion either.

Someone at the Mexican FA must be noshing off an adidas executive. Apart from the fangs these look pretty bespoke. I’ve also always thought what I really need every time I’m in sweltering Mexico, is a long sleeve version.

Not my debate so apologies but must be getting close to that all told. 400/450m on transfers then cost to buy club, capital expenditure on current training ground and stadium tidy up, plus womens team etc. Obviously not all of that is funded with them throwing the money in of course.

No, just people on here wanting him. Not sure he would be a fit.

The North East has a statistically bigger knife crime problem than London (Teeside is actually the worst per capita in the U.K.), and you’re naive if you don’t think just as many North East kids are tricked into county lines drug gangs as there are down south. A quick trip to a local YOI will quickly reappraise you of that folly I can assure you

One year extension ? Like a new signing fuck PSR

Missed this one - when did they spend the best part of a billion on us?

The North East has many problems, poverty one of them. However gang etc are rarer.

Bono playing for Madrid wouldn't have thought he'd have the time with his band and charity work.

Have we properly triggered Liverpool by beating them in the Cup Final. They can't be scared of us surely.

I watched it on youtube

Just now ?

She has left him I forgot about that.

Liverpool fan in our WhatsApp chat going on about an Isak bid being imminent. Can’t see it myself unless it’s daft money and even then I don’t see Howe/PIF selling this summer. We’re in the CL and already one striker down ffs, Howe would almost walk if it went through 😂 Can see them going in for Gordon however.

got this one without the sponsor and its incredible

You do realise that a bigger problem per capita in the council estates of the North East don’t you? And there’s no London-like city job opportunities for the ones that manage to avoid that trap either. Hence the diaspora of exiled Geordies on here
