Zero

I just don't get what's the point of doing so. It shouldn't be his interest to fuck off Rafa and relegate again, isn't it?

That should be a red. The reason why it is not a red is because it is EPL where these kinda tackles are "allowed". We did have players making this a lot in the past and now we are the one suffered. Simply as that. In any other leagues this is a sure red.

This is not the first time. How can people not giving him up?

Now I understand why Swansea sold him and survived. We should follow

There are lots of positives to be honest. Merino and Atsu proved to be EPL quality. I would take the result as long as Lejuene can back asap.

Enough.

Great first half, if not he injuries...

Time to start praying. May god of football be with us and Rafa.

Care to point out how I've apologised for him, if you're referring to me? Is it because I didn't end my post by calling him a fat c***? You and Zero, yes. Do some f***ing reading from the stacks and stacks of analysis done by not just good posters on here but also on the web in general about how clueless or actually shady the fat man has been with the club's money. Not to mention totally destroying our earning potential and revenue over the years. Maybe stop apologizing for him in hushed tones? And yes, calling him a fat c*** would go for in endearing you to some of the posters on here who actually see the forest for the trees. Do some fucking reading? Ok, go to open the annual account and tell me how many advertising income we can get and tell me how much a player acquired cost in total. We are talking about money. So better back up your accusation by figures instead of "there must be sth hidden there must be money outflow" etc. I have stated clearly, unless the annual statement is a fraud, the fat cunt is talking something true. How about you go to read it before jumping to fuck me over?

Unless you choose to classify annual account as fake or misrepresented, we didn't generate a lot of profits nor repaying much of his loans to the club during his tenure. I just want to suggest unless there is a lot of stuff that can do outside of accounts, our spending power after taking into account of this and that is prob 5-7m per year. Part of it is due to we fails to get the first year of EPL exceptional broadcasting money due to relegation, and another part of it is probably we all overestimated Newcastle' spending power nowadays WITHOUT owners personal injection.

Okay, in short, that's my extremely brief summary of in and outs since 2015/2016: 2015/2016: 5m profits Drop in revenue according to latest account: 30m loss Transfer in and out last summer: 30m profits per wiki Transfer in and out this summer so far: 12m loss excluding wage differences Net balance: 7m loss before counting in this season' season ticket sales, offset by increase in wages So it does sounds like the bank balance is 0, I.e. Just breakeven if no additional funds from Ashley personally.

I actually aint that surprised if Rafa DID use up all the funds available already. That makes sense if you consider our wage bill are Premiership level and parachute payment are not enough to cover. That also ties with why we need to sell before buy - it's not the squad size issue, it's rlly due to empty balance in bank. And the purpose of Rafa starting the PR war is to force Ashley to open his own check book , which Ashley obviously refused to do so and even decided to come out like that. The story is kinda completed. No more transfers unless we can move the deadwood ASAP.

Obviously he is addressing the issue brought out by Rafa thru media. All transfers are Rafa related, not me.

Ok I want to take it in financial perspective. I am not Ashley apologists. I just want to ask, does everyone know when the TV rights payment be made to the club? Not the EPL one, but the Championship one, and the prize for winning the league? What I get, and a big if he is not lying, is that the club really does not have any more money now and any further transfer would require his personal wealth to pay, or at least an additional loan. That's a really red alert to the commercial revenue we currently generate. Are we generating even lower than the likes of Huddersfield or Watford? Or our current wage bill are substantially higher?

The problem with Colback is his performance keep on getting worse and worse. I still remember he played very well during his debut, making sensible runs and cover spaces and able to pass neatly and quickly to teammates. That's what a CM should do. But he has regressed to the point that he can do nothing positives on the pitch, and ultimately he only has himself to blame.

All spurs player are massively underpaid. I won't be surprised.

He got injured. Atsu was also pretty shit during his last loan, for comparison. Not saying he is a world beater but definitely more than serviceable.

Interesting loan. He is thought to have a go this season to be the backup like Ake but the trouble he caused during the China trip basically forced Chelsea to move him away, even temporarily, ASAP. It is not their original plan to send him out. We may get a great left wingback for cheap, but our commercial income in China may be affected. I am actually surprised that we can sign him given our sponsor is CHina based.

I prefer a 30m gamble on Correa though.

Barca won't get Coutinho for less than 130m. That's the compensation for giving up this season. Pay it or switch to other targets.

Hard to predict. It could be fire sale time as well, like us shifting out the dead woods. Whilst I am furious that we didn't bring in enough players for saving our lives, I do think we are doing above average in the transfer market. There is literally no reinforcement for our relegation battle rivals and Huddersfield/ Brighton are just signing meh players which are worse than Lejuene Merino and Murphy. To me it is like every team used up their funds during January and now they all need to sell before buy - but no one willing to take up the shits. If this goes on, and if we able to sign one more striker, we should be safe.

In fact other than the two Manchester, most teams in the league are spending very little comparing to their revenue. Probably they are clearing up debts and preparing for the downfall of income stream in the future?

I hope we got thrashed like 0-6 so to let Fat Cunt know we are heading to relegation.

I think there must be some insider news behind the odds in sky bet. Rafa is the top of the list now.

TBH, he probably can't. Messi is 30 and still killing it. When would Neymar take over? Exactly. So either he accepts to be a legendary supporting cast or he has to go. You can say he loves money etc but to say he had a bad career move / step down / staying at Barca is the best option etc is bullshit.
