You're probably remembering the last reported wage bill from 2006/7, which was £1.2 million per week (£62.5 million per year).

Nah not the least funny.

Where do you get that number from?

Only one billion dollars between the two though, the competition between them to have the most money must be fierce Well buying us is a sure way to lose out in that sibling rivalry. Assets are taken into account so it shouldn't make much difference. Though hopefully it won't mean his brother will follow him, he probably will and will buy the Spuds, oh the laughs those two will have over an evening game of Premiership Monopoly

Microsoft To Bid For Newcastle? http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=864984 Was certain I was about to be Rolled there. Well Microsoft products crash about as often as the Toon so would be a perfect match! They also bankroll there products to an absolutely insane degree if necessary. Think they lost about $4 billion on the original XBox and were pretty happy about it

Broken leg.. fuck off! He played the remainder of the game on a broken leg?

Yeah if he wants to give to charity then why not send a billion the way of the Newcastle United Foundation?

Hah yeah they've changed it as it was $90billion / £45 million originally. They must have realised the mistake yet edited the wrong figure!

Wow the dollar really has fallen a long way Well if this did happen at least we could be confident of money being spent! Not that it will happen, its obviously a ludicrous story. It's actually worse than that they say: So apparently the worlds 3rd richest person is worth only £10m more than City paid for Robinho! Yeah that's what I meant, the dollars gotten so bad that its now only worth 0.05 pence

They've also announced it was the plan to take over BOTH NUFC and MCFC with two different figureheads in the PL. Isn't that completely against the rules?

We could easily have been 2:0 up before they got there dodgy penalty. No idea how anyone can say 1:2 flattered us

Chris Hughton..

So had there been no protests at all he would still have put the club up for sale this week? Amazing co-incidence that like.

I agree, and that's what the majority of fans are doing. United in protest against a regime that has seen our best manager in memory forced out due to lack of control. he's made some mistakes, but he hasn't deserved the treament he has got and he didn't try to force keegan out, he wanted him to stay. If he wanted him to stay, surely all he needed to do was ensure that Keegan did infact have final say on transfers. Why is that so hard? cos maybe he didn;t trust him to do that and maybe keegan had originally agreed to that structure to get the job ? He agreed on that structure, yet everyone at NUFC just decided they needed to keep that fact secret, in fact down right lie about it? including keegan Well obviously in the scenario you're painting that would be the case. What's your point and how does it change my argument one bit? You say Keegan must have agreed to this structure from the start. I'm asking you, if that was the case then why did they all claim that wasn't the structure?

United in protest against a regime that has seen our best manager in memory forced out due to lack of control. ...and to what? does anyone have the 0.25 billiion needed to buy the club? and the 0.5 billion per year to spend on the players we all want? it's farcical, it really is! You must have meant £50 million there right?

I've heard about the deal, a bit incompetent to sell a player to setup a deal for a player that ends up turning you down though isn't it?

I often think you are wrong on many things but I think you could be correct in what you are saying. I am off to sleep now as agreeing with you is wrong . I am worried I will start agreeing with....................next!! You should agree with me more, you'd be right more often! Nah seriously I can't remember ever arguing with you or really remember if I generally agree with you or not to be honest

Perhaps by the end Keegan didn't believe he was fully in charge of transfers anymore, but if he didn't he certainly did believe that good things were coming from the decisions being made. Like when he said that we should wait to see what came from selling Milner, he'd been told the money was being used for something big. He could role with the punches when he knew that something good would come out of it for Newcastle United. But when he found out even that was bollocks he said enough is enough, that's my guess anyway..

Sorry removed that post since you already answered before I posted

Sadly, I'd say it would have been almost guaranteed to have happened. The protests were not violent in the slightest. I honestly don't think the massive majority of supporters would stand for that kind of thing.

He was given a chance to find a manager for the system months ago, and he brought Keegan in.. Nobody had any problem with him getting a second chance, had he simply communicated his thoughts to the fans in the first place. He let the animosity grow by being his usual ignorant self. Also why shouldn't Keegan be bigger then Ashley?, not that its even an issue of one being bigger then the other in the first place like..

Not suggesting he should bring his kids obviously, or that he even should have come along himself. Just saying there's no way he was going to be assaulted.
