Can I be sued for saying what I think of Sarfraz Najeib? It's just he was kind of a friend of a friend, and he's an utter cock. That's just personal opinion which you're well within your rights to express. Thanks

Championship clubs got money up front. It's probably different in the Premiership though.

Well we only really have one opportunity to spend it and that's right now. Holding out for January's window doesn't make much sense to me. Considering the "clubs don't sell players in January" comments from last time around, I'd hope we spend the whole lot now!

Well you don't rate him, so I assumed you thought he was shit. What would you call him then?

So it's not 50 million. Sorry, I thought we were trying to pin down what actually might be happening in the real world. How often is TV rights money awarded? Is it before each season starts? I don't think it is, I want an answer here if anyone happens to know. Anyway. If we were relegated, how much do you think our TV rights would be worth? Less than they would be if we were in the Premier League, perhaps? So saying that, do you seriously not think that money is conditional on staying in the Premier League? All I'm getting at is that no club will splurge that cash all at once, unless you're 100% guaranteed safety from relegation. Well I wasn't trying to pin down exact numbers, just that we had a significant amount of extra revenue from TV deals. Yes from what I am led to believe and there is a small posibility I may be wrong, TV money is dished out at the satrt of the season. But even if it's not and it's dished out at the end then the club can still use it a collatoral as guarenteed income. Our TV rights for 2008/09 would not change if we were relegated. I think you are getting a little confused with prize money here. It's the 2008/09 money that people want to see Ashley spend, not future years as you rightly point out we have no idea what our income will be. So with your logic then no team will ever spend it's TV money, as no team is ever 100% sure of staying up, even Man Utd. I can only base my knowledge on the Championship, but clubs are paid up front for things like TV rights, before the season starts.

Clearly shit.

I've read that 3 times and I'm still struggling to understand it.

Great thread like

I've no idea, I tend to skip over your posts tbh, as I doubt many of them are about Newcastle United. Hasn't he got close to a 1 in 2 goal ratio for you lot?

They've sold a proven premiership goalscorer today. I fail to see how they have upgraded on that, even with Arshavin. i think keane was made too look a much better player by berbatov,for me arshavin s a class act,i know who i would rather have hands down Wrong way round mate Keane made Berba look good. Good deal if true, arshavin for keane, i'd take that Keane made berba look good? Dear God. It's exactly what you'd be saying if Keane was staying and Berbs was leaving though You happy that you've sold Keane to a club you're attempting to catch up with?

Carrick should put his money where his mouth is and agree to move to us if Smith is shit again this season

Keane's quality. I still doubt that Arshavin will adapt to the pace of this league.

Who is this "autographs" geezer? Is he a replacement for Viduka?

Try walking over them after it's been raining all day

How is that? Because I've been positive about every transfer which hasn't happened so far, so thought I'd try and jinx myself

Very little chance of this story being true.

Very very sad news, but surely you're joking?

I swear every single one of your posts is made up.

For what it's worth, Lampard actuallky stated his desire to stay, not his desire to leave.

Bet he doesn't. He's foooking appauling.

no it was when we signed owen and luque souness wanted boa motre and anelka for 6 million each we're offered keane for 8 million shepherd bought owen and luque for 27 million 15 million difference, and it almost bankrupted us in the end Nope, got the facts wrong I'm afraid. We offered £3.3m for Boa Morte. Fulham wanted £4.3m. Souness wanted the deal but Freddie thought it was too much to pay. Boa Morte wanted to join but we didn't up our offer. Then we get a fax from Depo offering us Luque, who Freddie decided would be higher profile than Boa Morte, so we went for him instead. We asked Fener about Anelka and were told he wasn't for sale. No idea where you've plucked the £6m figures from. souness actually said himself Link? I know 100% fact what happened with these deals.

Think he was refering to his current manager. His current manager who is letting him come on trial but will block the transfer? What's the point in that then? (is the point I was making)

Want Spurs, Liverpool and Hull to go.
