Professional sportsmen when they sign a contract the income is guaranteed for the length of that contract irregardless of whether they play or not. In American sports its slightly different as they have a guaranteed amount and an amount that's a total. The total is if the organization decides to keep them for the entire length ( the salary cap dictates this eventually) As far as footballers go its a short career so you need guaranteed income over length of contract. I suspect the mackems have broken the rules massively here and there will be an ensuing court case

Professional pride and the modern day footballer don't go together in the same sentence. Look at some of the players at Chelsea making millions from doing nothing, Danny Drinkwater for example I bet Rob Green is on a mil a year too

8m they paid for this fucker man The Don may be able to do that with non league players at Eastleigh but these are multi million pound players at the upper level, I think the PFA will be all over this especially if they haven't come to some kind of financial agreement between the 2 parties. They cant just sack him with no payout This has the makings of the Alvarez case all over it

Shes smoking hot

The Don is just a small time attention seeking whore. The guy is just an absolute chancer and charlatan,. this will all come crashing down like a pack of cards for these fuckers. They are a 3rd division club and are paying 3 to 4 players over 50k a week they cannot sustain this at all and all this talk of sacking Papy and Ndong will blow right up in their faces. They either have to pay them off ala Rodwell which they obviously cant afford ( Hence the reason Cattermole is still there) or they are stuck with them

True but it would be peanuts for him to fund promotion to the champo. What's the point in buying into if he isn't going to invest? Tax fiddle, money laundering, a way into the UK trade market for other ventures. All of these rich people use a football club as a smokescreen for other interests

Ashley has absolutely no intention of selling he just says it to appease the idiots amongst us that cant see through the fat lying bastard.If he genuinely did want to sell and it was put out to the market there would be people wanting to buy I have absolutely no doubt about it. He is getting free global exposure for his cheap and nasty business by owning us. Do you think he is going to give up Sports direct being beamed all across the globe due to the global exposure of the premier league? fuck no is he

Looks like hes bitten off more than he can chew. The guy is a complete charlatan Didn't see that coming did we? They might have started ok but they are always letting goals in and sooner or later these games will turn into defeats and they will go on a stinker of a run at some stage I still don't think they will make the play offs

Looks like hes bitten off more than he can chew. The guy is a complete charlatan

basically they are shite

Still plenty of their supposed first team in that line up. their squad is fucking lifting now man I still don't think they will be top 2 this season they have been very very fortunate in some games. that will even itself out over the course of the season Strongly fancy them to lose at home to Fleetwood at the weekend

£2.50 wouldn't even pay for Quinny's starter at Burger King. In 1990 it would have got you about 3 whoppers

It's fucking horrible. Imagine genuinely thinking of Newcastle as a bottom half club. Mental. I always feel bad when y'all get to reminiscing. The glory days were fucking ages ago. I'm only mid-30s like, it is the main thing that makes me feel older. When I talk about football to people at work (especially in London) I sound like an absolute madman. Spurs fans think they're better than us FFS. They are. Ye wha? 11 years isn't that long like. The club's have gone in opposite directions obviously, but it's not forever irredeemable if the right owner came in. You started following us at the worst possible time basically. If you thought you talked about HBA a lot, you'd have been peaking hard over Beardsley and Ginola. Answer honestly. When was the last time you seriously expected this club to compete for the title? Whenever that was, that's how long it's been since the team was great. The right owner is never coming. The last time I thought we'd be going for the title was probably 2003 but it's not 'the last time we were great' imo - there was always the potential for us to push on, get the right manager, and attempt to go for the title right up until Ashley bought the club. Even then we had a very good group of players from '11-14 imo - a strongest XI that I'd put slightly below the XI that SBR had. Certainly one that would have been consistently top 5-10 under a manager that knew what he was doing. If we hadn't sold our best players we could have been looking at a starting XI of the one below at one time or another: Krul Debuchy Williamson Coloccini Enrique Tiote Jonas Cabaye Ben Arfa Ba Remy That defence has more holes than a lump of swiss cheese, no wonder we shipped goals for fun its crap Williamson aside this is utter nonsense like. '08-'12 Coloccini and '08-'11 Enrique were outstanding. I think your perception and mine of outstanding differs a fair bit, you are talking of a time period there where we were relegated and in that season both were shite So you're cherry picking that one season in which they were shite, both in their first seasons, both with Damien Duff, Nicky Butt, and Alan Smith protecting them, both with 4 different managers that season and the club in turmoil in a season when every single player was shite, over the 2-3 seasons in which they were outstanding? Okay then. And my perception of 'outstanding' includes both the Keegan and SBR eras, so yeah, both were outstanding imo. Enrique especially would be in my all time Newcastle XI. Enrique was not even in the same league a left back as John Beresford was in the mid 90s and as I said Colocinni was in my opinion never outstanding, Woodgate was outstanding, Phillipe Albert was outstanding and even Steve Howey was head and shoulders above anything Colocinni ever was

Whenever that was, that's how long it's been since the team was great. The right owner is never coming. We came 3rd in 2003, that's not that long ago for us. 15 years ago, though. Did you overachieve to get 3rd or was 3rd just about right and something to build upon? I would have said those mid 90's teams were the last time the club was in the conversation for a title. It was about right. We genuinely challenged that season and the season before when we were top quite a lot until Bellamy's injury. The '90s was the last time we were very close right until the end, but under SBR we were contenders at the start of each season and in the conversation usually until the new year. In 01-02 though I think we were within a point or a couple of points from the top right up until the start of March when Arsenal beat us. Was one point we were top in March then lost a few on the spin and tailed off

Ive always said that if sir bobby had keegans team/squad we would have won multiple titles in the mid 90s

Overall Coloccini was both hopeless and infuriating, he had 1 possibly 2 good seasons but as a captain and a leader the guy was an embarrasment

Whats the odds on it being Mickey Quinn who he owed 2.50 for the burger king

Not by end of September which is what I said. With the shite going on do you honestly think we will be ok this season?

Defending magnificently according to Sky. We were a disgrace though. No agenda, promise. Bet you're buzzing about that. Really??? FFS hardly Its worrying as fuck though that we may be cut adrift by end of this month

We could be bottom after tonight

Never going to happen he gets far too much global exposure for his shite brand from us

I get what you are saying and I agree but I want Rafa to go as he doesn't deserve this and doesn't need this. The line when he first came was is if Rafa is still here it means everything is been done properly as he won't stand for anything less. Well he has been royally shafted big time and now hung out to dry by Ashely. Best thing he can do for himself is just leave. Like Geordiedean said people are sick to death of the club constantly chucking away our only chances to ever see us win something. This is the worst state we have been in as a club in my lifetime with no hope and nothing to get behind. We could all see before the Spurs match it was a dead season. Rafa just needs to get on with it, yes we know it's all Ashley's fault but he's been hung out to dry so either stay and get on with it or just leave now for his own good. Him been here hasn't stirred the fans against Ashley so maybe him leaving will. We have nothing to lose at this point anyhow. I agree with everything you have said and we all as fans know that our only hope of seeing us ever win anything in our lifetimes is via one of the cup competitions yet we treat them as a hindrance and with utter contempt. you only have to win 6 games FFS to win one so why not treat them as if every game is the final?. Id gladly take us finishing plum last in the premier league with 20 points if we won a cup Look at our record in the FA cup since Ashley took over its worse than some teams in league 1 and 2 and the league cup is nothing short of an embarrassment 32 fucking years since we got past the quarter final

Think we all need to make the effort to ignore the irrelevant prick tbh, he's reaping the rewards of us biting when it's all blatantly obvious trolling. He has absolutely no capacity for feeling embarrassed at how unbelievably clueless he comes across as. He should stick to banging his daughters friends or fantasizing about smashing cookie colemans wife
