  1. Found their source of this, it's the Times
  2. For me if Moat gets the club he stops if he doesn't he goes.
  3. Radio Newcastle this morning stating Ashley has given Moat until 5pm tonight to get it sorted.
  4. hehe reminds me of this http://img7.imageshack.us/i/pervywanker.jpg/
  5. Is she fit? Important question here Mr P... Well, she's quite high up at my graft so hopefully there is no one else is on here that knows her. The answer is in a song by 2 unlimited. I'll leave that to your own conclusions. Techno Techno Techno Techno? Spread Your Love ?
  6. Can I hell find it. It was there that's why the picture was posted.
  7. Proves nothing I'm afraid. His fiance lives up here and he's been planning on buying a house near Newcastle for a while. He as one http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,62264.240.html that was my point. I was basically rubbishing the post
  8. Bit like Athletic Bilbao but on a much smaller scale I guess
  9. Lifes not always just about money.
  10. We may be happy to get Moat now (or "to get RID of Ashley", more like) but THIS (a lack of real big money) is something we are very likely to very soon find to be very frustrating. If the club has no debt when he takes over I guess all the money the club brings in the club can use to buy players etc. When we were in the Premiership our turnover was £100m I think so theres a pretty large wod of cash to spend on wages and transfers. I know that's a very simplistic way of looking at things but it does mean the club could run itself. Especially with the new income from the foreign tv rights which starts next season I think. Yes, we have always been (until last year) one of the clear "big five" earners amongst UK football clubs and in the top 10/15 in the world. So, we should (if we get back in the Prem) very soon become 'self-sufficient' for transfers, again. That is one (of many) things about "Billionaire Ashley" that confuses me. Having made the initial investment (to buy the club) as a billionaire you would have expected he would have (desperately) 'wanted to' add some of his own money to our own large earned income (whether we were making 'net' profits or losses, in any given year) which would have made us 'awash' with transfer money. But, it didn't happen. Quite the reverse. Endlessly, Sir John Hall stressed how important it was for us to 'speculate to accumulate' and to invest to make sure we were at or near the very top of the Premier League, all of the time, so that we were in position when the inevitable European Leagues were set up. This subject has (yet again) re-emerged this week, with Wenger sounding very liike SJH, as he talks about the 'inevitability' of the arrival of a European League. Ashley? Now, our 'ambitions' (and those of supporters, particularly young-uns who have arrived on the scene in the last 5 or 10 years) are . . er . . . somewhat less grand . . . (and NO, "somewhat less grand" does not mean the same thing as "more realistic", it just means "somewhat less grand"!) Put it this way. If Ashley had left the debt and had paid off the £4m a year as we had been doing and instead put the £200m he's now lost into player buys we'd probably be looking at Champions League football again rather than Championship football. Yes, that is very very probable. What a thought!! Upon the sale of the club, there was the 100m loan that had to be repaid back to the halls/banks, cant remember which it was, if it wasnt for his incompetence maybe he could have refinanced that loan as the liverpool owners have down (obviously nowhere near that scale) and possibly the same as what Moat is looking at now with the overdraft just because the money had to be paid back upon sale of the club, as with when any other property/business changes hands, this doesnt mean you can't refinance it, instead he went and put 100m more of his own money in other than just borrowing it (but then again we dont know the exact levels of debt as it has been said that the levels we had were unserviceable) i would imagine that was his intention when he bought it at first, buy the club, pay the repayments and invest 20m per year, but when he did buy it without due dilligence he got some nasty shocks... for all he's an idiot and shown to be totally incompetent, i dont believe he bought us to ruin us, it's just been one nightmare after another, unfortunately, throw the fact that he's known to be a totally stubborn t*** and horrible to deal with has made everything so much worse You sure ? I thought the main loan was the loan for the stadium build which was costing £4m a year and covered by our club stating to the bank they would sell 28,000 season tickets each year. Don't think the halls left any money in.
  11. Thought they were meeting Llambias not Ashley ?

  13. Aye thats where I was, kids in my seat when I got there Complicated mixture of alphabet and numbers for the seats mind. Shouldnt be too hard on them As I've said some seats were double booked.

    Nah even if you were a Swansea fan you'd be ok as long as you didn't go on daft if they scored. And you wouldn't be, you'd be going on daft when we score
  16. To be honest he was getting no help when he did try to push up, no body was making runs past him they were just standing next to him which is useless.
  17. Nope no bother at all. Did notice more people who had bought tickets on general sale had the same details as season ticket holders so there was more problems with seating.

    He used to do this don't you remember and he used to have a go at the ref loads as well. Bobby told him he had to stop it and had to show off his big smile instead. Wor Bobby knows best.
  19. Not watched it. My advice, don't
  20. or the blonde bint on the show now.
  21. Think NUSC needs to speak with SSN and tell them this cause they appear to be using NUSC as a boost for their group.
  22. Careful there. He was sacked after being accused of making racist comments to opponents during a tour of Canada. He then won the case of wrongful dismissal. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6254866.stm
