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.

Thought there was something about changing rooms having to be identical ?

Carl cort isn't it?

Isnt that money split over 3 years?

Hahaha fixed bastards

I was critical and happy to be proven wrong by his attacking ability. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Or maybe they've finally worked it out ? Could well be too late. No idea why they waited

Cabella ain't coming back his clause was activated in February. Thauvin can still return which gives Benitez another option in the summer, or a few quid extra in transfer kitty.

Kinda in the title

10 league goals in 109 games and 30 league goals in his footballing career suggests that doesn't work even against crap teams.

HAHAHA bring it

Colback LB, is that still a thing? God I hope not. Far better LB than a CM. Although thats not a compliment. Probably a far better plumber than he is footballer to be fair.

Suprise isn't it. You can't throw the accusation at him man, the lads been here five minutes and only came because he was desperate to play. He could have lay on the treatment table at Tottenham if he wanted to bottle his way through his career, instead he turned out weekly for their reserves. I have no doubt we have bottlers in the camp, it's incredibly harsh to suggest townsend is one. And we will see. I agree the 5 minutes isn't long enough to judge this in a player. It's just an observation I have and an opinion I am entitled to. We shall see in the future if I was wide of the mark or not. Or hopefully not as hopefully we can be far away from relegation battles now. No worries, i didn't say you weren't entitled to an opinion btw, I'm just not that sure how you formed this one, but yeah, agreed, time will tell if he's up for the fight. Think I'm a huffy bugger at the minute still, I'm sure I'll be my ridiculously optimistic self if we stop up

Find it strange when we keep giving players the benefit of the doubt year after year despite the amount of time the PL stars show their true colours.

Game of opinions my love.

Hardly fierce criticism. The blokes been injured more than hes been fit for me to judge him enough to give any sort of fierce criticism.

Oh do please wind your neck in with your holier than thou attitude. I've watched enough Newcastle shite in my time to allow myself to be cynical with these over paid primadonnas. As for Townsend looking interested I've seen one above average game from him so far. Let's not make him out to be greater than he has been. I am more than happy to change my opinion on a player at a later time but I refuse to overreact on a players abilities and willingness to go above and beyond because the bloke didn't like sitting in the youth team.

Suprise isn't it.

No reason it should, we have to play the mackems and Norwich. Players hopefully will be well up for it now.
