Nile Ranger just replied to me on Blackberry Messenger saying he still doesnt know if hes made the bench yet 

we enjoy the matchday experience, as a whole, like last season.

Been a while since that one tbh...

i despise that droopy faced cu'nt

better be over 10mil just cos its f***ing spurs

 

 

 

So the bid's been lowered?

 

Maybe but the previous bid may have been 4 million now 2 million if they got in Europe, 1 million spread over 1 million payments stuff like that lol My guess is any offer now will be the full amount upfront.

 

I think you're on the right lines, Levy doesn't do deals without add-ons and clauses.  I was told the offer was £5m plus add-ons that still left it short of £10m.  Whether it's been increased or changed I have no idea.

 

If and when it gets completed, details will be reported to the Stock Exchange.  If it's not reported, we'll at least know that it was less than £10m.

If you were told it (itk-tastic) it must be true then...

Colo and Taylor now our only "experienced" centre halfs, though if anyone comes in for them (which I could see happening) lets be honest we know the fat man will take the cash.

Can't wait to watch Kadar and Tozer at the centre of our defence next season..

All this takeover talk, they are all laughing at us....

So Baggio is back then..

Ooh, I could crush a grape!

Are you on the wind up?

Fair enough I stand corrected that I misread it about them paying a third and I wont edit my post as I admit I was incorrect regarding that.

However I still do not see why the club are taking stick for the costs of policing and stewarding and the point stands that Sir Bobby himself is not footing the bill and that is what the post implies and would be a journalists dream.

We are picking up bad enough press as it is without people putting out inaccurate claims and even worse or own supportres believing it.

The club already have their own foundation in which they give to and help promote The Newcastle United Foundation.

Do you not think it is a good gesture that they are willing to pay a 3rd of the costs of such a big event after all the money is actually going to policing, stewards etc not the club itself.  Believe it or not in paying that they are actually making a nice gesture and a donation but its far to easy to twist it into a negative story for the club.

I myself, for my full time job, work for and with charities (and actually have set up a Male Cancer Awareness Charity myself) and if most organisations would help with a third of the costs of charity raising events they would be applauded not be slagged off for it.

Don't get me wrong I am far from happy with alot of what the club is doing at the moment but they are getting a slagging off here for something I do not agree with.

I am not even going to waste my time responding to James.

An agreement was reached between the three parties that, following the event, Newcastle United would be reimbursed in relation to the costs it incurs in staging the game i.e. Police, ambulance, stewards etc.

Aye the 3 parties being Toast, The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and the club.

Nowhere does it say Bobby himself is to pay.

Where does it say Robson is to foot the bill?

I got a telegram from Alan Shearer along with an autographed shirt from him and the team sent up for my wedding a couple of weeks ago

I love the fact that people want the likes of Jason Scotland and Ross McCormack but turn their noses up at current SPL strikers when it was only last year McCormack was playing there and Jason Scotland made his name for himself in the SPL too. 

       Well done Ashley. I always like this guy I don't know why but no one will spend 250mil if he doesn't care about something. Just be realistic and think about it do you guys spend 1/3 of your wealth on something you don't like or something you don't take care of?

Aye you are right.  Thanks for everything Mike....

Not sure if he has been mentioned, he is not a Championship player but according to Sky Sports News Daniel Sturridge is not signing a new contract with Man City this season so will be available for free. He'd be worth a punt, has always looked useful when I have seen him. He is young and will be hungry to prove himself, this is the type of player we need. Whether he would see the Championship as too much of a step down is another matter.

Was he not rumoured to be looking for something crazy like 40k a week?

Geremis out of contract isnt he?

No another 12 months

I keep seeing all this talk of pay cuts.

If there is no relegation clauses in their contracts does anyone really believe that any of the players will take a voluntary pay cut? No chance..

Seem a fair bit of Krul at Falkirk and he looked pretty good.  I remember even in a game that Celtic scored 5 against him the commentators were still raving about him.

Thing is if we don't give Krul his chance now he will be off too.  There were a couple of decent Dutch sides linked with him last summer and whispers of interest from Chelsea. I really cannot see him being happy as a back up keeper in the Championship.

Mike Ashley

Why do I get the feeling the other teams will lose and we'll fail to do our bit?

Because we are shit?
