Well, of course, it would to you. It's all about clubs breaking even – a concept you've repeatedly demonstrated your failure to understand. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/european/7765610/Uefa-president-Michel-Platinis-financial-fair-play-rules-set-to-be-approved.html

Sorry for late reply Dave. Answer is - I dunno. Who does ? Nothing directly I would think, but there may be some chipping away at money owed ?? I'm sure if some airline or bank or something wanted it they'd get it but they obviously don't. BTW I'm against the thing in principle but there again I'm pretty anti-sponsorship in general - much preferred Division 2 to the CCC. Being pragmatic though, sadly we need to explore all commercial possibilities to compete in today's game. Football sold it's soul a long time ago and this is just another step in that direction. I think there is some official (UEFA?) requirement that the space has to be purchased at some notional "going rate" (this to limit the amount of money an owner can pump into a club indirectly via sponsorship).

Just what we need, another sub-par central midfielder.

Well ahead of schedule, clearly.

Michael Chopra? Hes no Geordie Eh? Born in Newcastle, went to Gosforth High, came up through the NUFC academy...

Michael Chopra?

Home raping against Porstmouth. Theres one. Toon 1 – 5 Birmingham

The world is an oblate spheroid.

How man, you're blaming the fans!

Be careful what you wish for.

Uh-oh.

And you're the one who thinks he's pumped all that money into the club in order to be able to take it all straight back out again.

So the fact that he hasn't taken any money out proves that he's going to take loads and loads of money out?

He wasn’t going to take money out when he had to put money in was he. He have to be almost as dumb as you to take £20M out last season and then give the club £20m to keep the banks happy. Well, if you ever turn up one tiny little fact that in any way supports your position on this issue, be sure and let us know. Until that time, forgive me for not being able to take you seriously.

Well, there's been absolutely no sign so far that he's looking to "claw back his loans", and he's not charging interest on them. The accounts we've seen indicate that the amount of money he's taken out of the club is precisely zero; the flow of cash has been entirely in an Ashley --> NUFC direction. Still, if you're desperate for something to whine about...

I can feel your anger.... http://www.creativescreenwriting.com/csdaily/csdart/images/2004-08-August/Star%20Wars%20-%20Return%20of%20the%20Jedi%20-%20You%20don%27t%20know%20the%20power%20(300w).jpg Keegan quit something something Keegan let us down something something Keegan blew a 12 point lead something something Keegan is a serial quietter something something Straw man-tastic.

Gawd, I swear Keegan fans are the touchiest bunch in the world. If it even looks like someone might be thinking of venturing the mildest criticism of their idol, they're out in force, picketing threads and shouting self-righteously through tinny megaphones. It's very hard to resist winding them up, but there's no sport in it really. Too easy.

It's almost admirable that he's been able to hang in there so long.

Twelve managers!

He never walked out of a job in his entire career.

I wonder if we're going to get a few regular Ben Arfa fans the way we used to have a bunch of non-English Shearer fans.

In 2007. I assumed he meant our last Euro campaign? I was joking. No idea what the fucker's really on about.

Perhaps he's on about the "fat cockney rapist" banner.
