Or that they want a Premier League club and have certain values set on each one. So they've bid for one at a certain price and now they're bidding for another at a different price, not everything is a game/ploy. BTW I didn't hear about this lot signing any NDAs to look at Liverpool's books. Did I miss that or are they supposed to have offered £1.5bn for Liverpool without doing any due diligence?....

It's been in the back of my mind since the beginning. Is anyone really that stupid though?, I mean outside of Mike Ashley.

If someone thinks its better value to buy Liverpool for £1.5bn than Newcastle for £300m or so then good luck to the fucking mental weirdo.

Absolutely, its completely wrong IMO that we need someone to throw money at us. Just running the club well and being ambitious would be enough to increase revenue significantly. Get all our fans completely behind the club and the city buzzing, more shirts will sell, fans will be prepared to pay more for tickets. The clubs image will improve and bring in better sponsorship deals, plus money from actually selling adds in the stadium rather than giving the space to Sports Direct. We can finish higher in the league, get back into Europe. Its very possible to build huge revenues here with good ambitious ownership and the right manager, and we already have the right manager.

Foden does look excellent like.

Liverpool isn't it?, Brewster that is. EDIT: Aye he was at Chelsea then Liverpool.

3-1 England

Mostly Monreal's fault, he put Cech in a bad situation. Having said that Cech should have smashed it not tried to go round Niasse. To me, it looked like Cech didn't realise Monreal had passed it to him, and when he did Niasse was already on him. The pass back was weak as well. Like I said I'd put most of the blame on Monreal personally. Just saying that once the ball reached Cech the best option was smashing it first time IMO.

He didn't have one shot on target - ran with the ball a bit, did a few twists and turns but there was zero end product. Loads of step overs though, you do know that you get a point per step over aye?

I'm not interested BTW if you consider "shit" to mean something slightly different to me. Take shit to mean his level of involvement today. I don't remember another time he was as ineffectual as that, every other time he's been more involved. Usually to a level that improved us as a team.

Well done extremely well made point.

Should we have a better striker?, yes obviously if we actually spent some money. But for the money paid he's been good, contributed and made us a better team than we were before he was involved. Wasn't really involved today, neither was Perez which probably made it more difficult for him. The few of you having a go when basically nobody played well for the majority of the game, you're completely pathetic like.

I don't remember Luuk De Jong scoring. Or contributing to quite a few of our wins.

Two absolute sitters he's missed in the space of 5 minutes.

Should have already been down 2-1, now they are seconds later.

He's a total creep. Is he still tweeting from Pav's account - even though he's been dead for nearly a year? I'm not from the area so I've never really known what his deal is when he gets mentioned. Had a Google, it seems he's a doorman/actor/boxing promoter/agent/fansize editor/sacked football agent/pr. Does that just about cover it? You missed out pathetic cretin.

Just seen Souness talking about Koeman. Apparently he's in trouble because Everton fans expectations have gone through the roof this season. They're 16th in the league and bottom of their UEFA group, how dare they expect better

To be fair they have been and throwing unlimited cash at something until the inevitable happens isn't much of an achievement. Unfortunately because of these clubs its now neccesary to have a rich owner throwing money at you just so you can compete at all, not necessarily buy a title.

Well we can build up our standing (not be run like a grubby corner shop for a start) which in turn can increase commercial revenues significantly. Also money spent on stuff like stadiums or training facilities isn't included in FFP so we could improve things heavily there which will again improve revenues.

Just read that article, is he possibly looking at any potential £380m deal as exclusive of debt? As in he's saying the club is worth about £190m-£200m because there's about £200m of debt left to pay after you buy. So paying £380m for a club that will have £200m debt would be over the odds (total of £580m). That's the only way I can make sense of his opinion. Because if he's saying that Newcastle United, free of Ashley's debt, is worth only £190-£200m he's not an expert, he's a moron.

Clubs get paid TV money in stages don't they? If they sold everything over night they wouldn't get any further TV money payments. Also to sell that quick they'd have to sell at a small fraction of market value. If instead they sold over the season (which they'd need to to get the kind of money you're talking about) then they'd have to spend significant amounts of money on running costs (including about £70m+ on wages for the year). Don't get me wrong like, that "expert" talking about what the club is worth is talking utter bollocks, just saying that I don't think asset stripping would work in Football.

We're Newcastle. We're fucked. Well the numbers alone tell us that it's more then just us currently being investigated.

As if we're the only club who've done this kind of thing. Obviously multiple clubs being investigated and they wouldn't dare relegated multiple clubs.

Has to be, I mean £500m worth of business in the last 10 years for us might be believable (ins and outs). But we've done nowhere near that in just the 3 year period mentioned there.
