Really? I watch it because Newcastle are in it. Honestly couldn't give the first fuck about the standard and would happily see a massive drop in standard if it meant a more level playing field.

That's just not true though is it, realistically? If you're a youth player on Chelsea's books, you've got to be one of the world's greatest young players to get so much as a place on the bench in the League Cup. By the time you're 21, you've simply not played enough first team football to keep up with your peers in other countries who've been playing senior football for years.

Hopefully the new TV money will help a lot. Not really because our competitors are bringing in similar amounts (apart from the Champions League qualifiers). Stuff like commercial and sponsorship are what separates clubs like Liverpool (whose commercial revenue is vast in comparison despite a largely under-performing team for years) from your bottom half tat. Everton and Liverpool bring in similar gate receipts and TV money but Liverpool's commercial and sponsorship deals blow Everton away. We have to maximise every single revenue stream because you can be damn sure everybody else is trying to.

I wouldn't be so harsh as describing him as rubbish but I think the more he appears from the start, the more we'll bemoan how little he has about him in the Premier League. I like him as a bench option because he's not actively hapless like Obertan is but if you've got any ambition whatsoever, he's nowhere near even the bench. He's an attacking Perch.

Absolutely crying with laughter reading the last page or so. He never had to buy a meal, bet he loved that, the money obsessed little cunt.

I think I caught you on the catch up bit. Did you mention the statement being a joke or something? Aye, I did. Have since apologized to Pridey for the term, but it was born of frustration. Perfectly valid use of the word by dictionary definition tbh, a pet peeve of mine.

I was listening to that, you were very good. They weren't happy when you said he was raping the club like.

Have to say I was absolutely staggered by the amount of people wearing Wonga tops on Saturday. Fucking unbelievable.

I don't think anyone believes that really, I certainly don't. But I do believe he would want signings in, like any manager. Can I respond to this? You don't think anyone believes what? That Pardew is on our side in the sense he wants those above out the club. This is an amazing post. Like anybody buying Newcastle United is going to keep Alan Pardew in post for a single second. Wow. Have to say Brett, fair play, you're totally entitled to you opinion. I thought before you were a (probably) young optimist. However, that statement is fanboyesque and bizarre. I have no idea how you draw your conclusions but i know you let don't let evidence cloud your wishful thinking. To be fair to Brett, I think I've misread it, thank God.

If they go, his job that he will do literally anything to keep is gone and he'll have to fuck off back to the third division.

Patronizing cunts.

Spurs' has doubled in the same period, ours has halved. Nothing to do with Sports Direct taking all our advertising space though, pure coincidence.

Don't know where you're getting that from. The last accounts showed he took £11m and the same accounts showed that he is due to take another £18m in this accounting period.

If he continues taking money at the same rate he is now, he'll be in profit within five years. Why would he stop at that point?

Well done that man. It's such a simple solution. He's only here to generate mild profit while he looks to sell. Starve sources of profit, he has to make a move. he's still a long way off from making any sort of profit mind. Even better. and you really think he'll just cut his losses ? Why would he need to? unless someone is willing to pay him near quarter of a billion. Can't see Ashley ever making money from owning us, except indirectly through some (hard to quantify) benefit to Sports Direct. Anyway, I believe his decision is much more likely to be made on a whim than for any sound financial reason. He might be slightly more likely to sell once he gets his loan back, but even then I doubt it's going to be a decision made for financial reasons. It's not that hard to quantify. The club is bringing in £13m a year less in sponsorship than it was when he took over, the only club in the league whose commercial revenue has decreased. That advertising has been replaced by his company, which the club pays to provide. He has actively reduced the club's income only to then plead poverty.

Starve sources of profit, he has to make a move. he's still a long way off from making any sort of profit mind. Only because he's not paying for his advertising. His main company is 19 times more valuable over the same period though, just as well considering how strapped for cash the poor old soul must be.

Glad we had this to keep up.

The only input that daft cunt had in the Remy deal was having his photo took.

This has been remarkably obvious. Imagine if this were Arsenal - every season they lose one home game against a crappy team and the media en masse pump articles out about a crisis. The only time they're interested in us is when we've got some circus going on, when in fact what has happened this summer as a whole (rather than just the piss stained old drunk's ramblings) is far more damaging and much more worthy of examination and critique. They couldn't give a shit and this gives him even more license to do what the fuck he wants.

Yeah but we don't get the big TV money until the end of the season.

Current share price of his company: £6.92 Share price of said company when he bought NUFC: 36p Yet some people still think the tens of millions of pounds worth of free advertising in the most popular sporting competition in the world has had nothing to do with it, and that he should continue to strip his loan back, in full, from NUFC as quickly as possible.

which is ashleys plan why should pardew let him win by giving him what he wants when he can continue to do his job and if ashley wants him out let him pay him off in full This is it. The situation is so ridiculous now where Pardew wont quit knowing that's what Ashley wants and at the same time Ashley wont sack him. I can't recall ever seeing such a stand-off at another club, probably because 1) most other clubs don't deal out 8 year contracts to the manager for no reason; 2) most clubs aren't as tight as us; 3) most managers have an ounce of self respect; 4) most owners put the needs of the club first, the daft fuckers. no they don't its all about covering their own ass at all costs Most would had resigned now from here tbh, if they valued their credibility in the game. nope they'd wait for the payoff and know they're safe from much flak because of ashley What, like Kevin Keegan? he did get a payoff He "waited for a payoff" did he? Don't be so fucking disrespectful.
