Fair enough

In what sense was Ashley out a scam? Or this new groups idea?

Yeah I believe so

In what sense surprised ? If Rafa wants a large squad he would certainly cover us for league cup games and would provide knowledge to younger players whilst also been an option that will rarely be touched on the bench. Having said all the I dont think he'll sign.

Would you be happy to loan Andros to a PL club for a season to keep him if we were to go up, if the only other option is he goes for whatever the clause is ?

Gabby Logan. Was news to me anyway. I then go and look at page 1 of this thread and there she is.

I read something yesterday from NUFC and they said supporters would start receiving letters and refunds (or reduced payments) from the 15th June. Thanks

Anyone know when the refunds for the 10% discount are being made by any chance ?

We paid £12m for Shelvey. Has to be worth at least that despite his failure to keep up to his true ability.

Thought that was for a new crest/logo/badge/bonny little picture on strip/shirt/top etc........

I know I followed haha only stuck a couple quid on though which is a shame.

I'll watch it closely

I look forward to seeing future bets

3 bets later and I still havent lost Another 4-fold came in tonight Care to share a few

Yep that's correct

Ashley out. He managed to bring Keegan back to the club and fucked that up. He fails to learn from mistakes so even if we get Rafa he'll still fuck it up.

Jill Lascelles saying she's in the north east and him staying will lift the mood. Don't know if she knows something or if she's just saying thats what will happen.

Plus our £50m for prize money for where we finished in the league. I won't worry for Ashley just yet.

He also blamed Benitez for part of our relegation. Hes as clueless as the rest.

The £13m limit for the 2015/16 season is in line with the losses permitted under the new regulations which will permit a maximum loss of £39m over a rolling 3 season timeframe (compared to an equivalent figure of £105m in the Premier League). A club that moves between the Premier League and Championship will be assessed in accordance with the permitted loss in the relevant divisions played in during the three-year period in question. For example, a club that had played two seasons in the Championship and one in the Premier League would have a maximum permitted loss of £61m, consisting of one season at £35m and two at £13m. So it's no issue then. With the 80m we get despite relegation plus sales of players off currently out on loan plus any extra sales, we'll still probably break even

Sales from players will more than cover plus the £80m cash from going down. Club will be fine for one season. Cost him £25m last time. Don't even believe that would hit him from financial fair play.

Wont cost him a penny surely ? Clubs self sufficient.

Remember those figures are a year behind so unless I'm mistaken this was his first year on those new figures. This year he'll fail to hit his targets I'd imagine so will not get the bonuses that saw him get such a pay rise. Could also result in the sack, I don't believe it will though.

Not sure if this is still accurate : Minimum capacity of 50,000 (5-star venues) / 30,000 (4-star venues) – individual seats with backrests. (Venues that still have individual seats without proper backrests will still continue to be accepted. In future, however, closer attention will be paid to this aspect, and which will influence the committee’s decision regarding the addition of venues to these list categories.) * Pitch dimensions of 105 x 68 m. The field of play must be in pristine condition and be prepared accordingly for a final (quality of grass, irrigation, smooth surface, etc.). * Protective fences around the field of play are not acceptable. Venues which have such installations will not be included on the list. * Sufficient room around the field of play for advertising boards and at least 18 TV cameras. In addition, there must be enough room between the goals and the first row of spectator seats behind both goals for a minimum of 150 photographers. * First-rate dressing-rooms for both teams and the referees (equal size and furnishings for both teams, spacious, bright and clean). * Suitable and appropriately equipped drug-testing room. * Floodlighting of a minimum intensity of 1,400 lux (eV) in the direction of the main camera, and of 1,000 Lux (eV) towards the other areas of the stadium, plus an efficient emergency power supply able to provide, without interruption, the same luminous light intensity as the main lighting. * Modern security installations (access monitoring system, adequate PA system, etc.). * A permanent TV surveillance system in colour that is able to monitor the movement of spectators, as well as their behaviour inside and outside the stadium. This installation must also be able to produce still shots of any troublemakers, which can then be distributed immediately to the security officers / stewards in the stadium. * Clear signage that everyone can understand inside and outside the stadium, as well as in its immediate vicinity. * Suitable covered seats for disabled spectators and their accompanying persons (minimum of two sectors with at least 50 places each). The areas for disabled spectators must be adequately equipped with toilet facilities and a refreshment bar. * Acceptable sanitary facilities for spectators (both sexes) in terms of numbers, cleanliness and standards. Toilets without seats will no longer be accepted for spectators of either sex. * Provision of first-rate media facilities in terms of camera positions, working places, TV studios, etc., in accordance with the “UEFA Guidelines for Media Facilities”. * Adequate first-class facilities must be provided for VIPs, including a minimum of 150 places in the Honorary Tribune VIP box. * International airport(s) able to cope with the huge extra demands of a UEFA final (capacity for up to 60 charter flights per day in addition to the normal, scheduled flights) * Adequate hotel accommodation. For UEFA and its partners, at least 1,000 five-star hotel rooms (UEFA Champions League) / 500 rooms (UEFA Cup) are needed. In addition, enough other hotel accommodation in all types of category must be available

Not sure if it was World Cup but think there was something about 5 star hotel as well which is where Stadium of light was ahead as I believe they could count Seaham Hall even though it's Durham.
