The glazers used private equity companies to fund their buying of Man U. Those terms are negotiated once already with the second due in 2 to 3 years. They are reducing this debt as well as paying the interest. I doubt Nufc would get 110m from any bank and an equity firm would look for maybe 8 or 9 % interest pa return on any loan as we dont have the revenues of Man U and would be an obvious risk. That debt would cost 8 or 9m per year without any reducion to the debt so over 6 years that is a lot of money to fund debt.

We need three quality players and a new manager to be a good side on paper? And that's a good thing? Well considering most teams could do with an extra player or two I think we could be worse off. On paper I meant we could be a top 6 or 7 team which is realistic imo. The manager has been tanked many times but also gave us the 4-4 Arsenal comeback, the Chelski drubbing and games where we played Man United off the park. Back on the subject of Mike, the one thing I am grateful to him for was buying us when he did as we could have ended up like Rangers, Leeds or a Coventry otherwise. Pathetic - if most of the fans are like you, they deserve the crap set up they have now. Grateful..!!! Grow a pair. Why not? Would you like to be a fan of Leeds, Rangers or Coventry at the moment?

Wow people seem upset. Myself I hate Ashley but I balance it with with a range of facts. We are 3 quality players away from being a good side on paper aside from the manager.

Maybe AYE Mr Rich

I came across this the other day and thought it was an interesting read about wor Alan... http://1992ad.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/hating-alan-pardew-a-personal-story/ Might have been posted before so if so I graciously accept my first Giggs.

New signingTM

I don't care how long away the next home game is I think I might just be able to watch JFK's Assassination: Part Deux

Today is going to be a tough day for the F5 key I feel.

8m and I think they want the high earners off their wage bill. We have been offered him for the same though.

I see Rhodes' wiki has him playing 5 times with 4 goals this season. Not sure why we arent in for him to be honest.

Carpet football, Sir Bobby would be proud. 2 more flair players, one a striker, and I would be delighted.

Remi on for Cisse for last half an hour to show how a striker should finish. You cant get any worse if Shola is playing better than you.

If we end up signing Gomis and this kid or Ince I would be delighted. That's a big IF mind.

He chased shadows when we played Liverpool. I can see why Ashley has a mole* at the training ground btw. *recently announed as permanently relocated. This is all theory but maybe Ashley feels Pards has a game plan of his own.

Both ! http://allthingsd.com/files/2012/03/mr_greedy.gif

If people think some other strikers going to come in and start banging in goals without any service they are in for a rude awakening when he's dropped. Remy might be able to pull goals out of thin air, he's a canny dribbler, but a new striker isn't going to magically transform Pardew's turgid football into slick passing heaven. Well Gouf nearly and should have scored and Bent did score by getting in good positions. Cisse may need some additional servicr but should at least be making moves to get in them himself. Also he should be working harder to hold up the ball and bring his team mates in to play. 2 examples yesterday were both with Sissoko who passed to him on the half way line indicated to Cisse to lay on a reverse pass which he could run on to and what does Cisse do, he passed it back to Sissoko who was a yard away from him and the ball bounced off his shins and to the opposition. The second was again Sissoko who burst forward and looked to Cisse who was running in the right hand channel on the way to the 18 yard box. Sissoko went to pass it to bim and he decides to dart along the 18 yard box from right to left and ball went out of play for a goal kick. He has been poor for two games in a row.

I expect we'll be trying to buy players out there too.
