Not always. There are plenty of clubs whos ambition is to just stay in the division and reap the financial gains each year. We're one of them. reap the financial gains ? how many run at a profit ? Doesnt matter, they earn a hell of a lot more in the Premier League than in the Championship.

The problem for me isnt Jose, its Newcastle. Im pissed off that we are losing a player like him when we have the funds available to compete within the top 8 and we arnt spending anything (we're in profit for the summer). Jose though, I wish him the best of luck, he has ambition and will never reach it here with Ashley in charge.

When this goes through, we are net £4.2million? Who would have thought that when we sold Carroll

I wish he would just paint the stadium and put in coloured SD seats already. Are you allowed to paint on the grass?

Cab-wey-aye

Seems a bit stupid that we would sell him without any profit considering how good he has become here.

We've made quite a bit of money in this window, not to mention the Carroll money. Its about time a decent sum of that was spent, ive no time for excuses on the 1st September.

Stick a photo up.

Wasn't it selling Torres that gave Liverpool the money to go out and get Suarez and Carroll? Anyway, it's pretty much a pointless argument, as if it matters which one actually happens first. If Pardew thinks LB is a priority now that Enrique is going, then I think it does matter. Why are they leaving that position weak when they could get a replacement in before selling? If its a squad player then by all means just sell, but if its a player whos departure will leave us considerably weak in his position then we should be holding on to him until we get a replacement. The move wont happen unless Newcastle give the go ahead, I just think we should be keeping ourselves right.

Xisco was on 50k?! Thank fuck he is gone.

@CaulkinTheTimes Told last night that #NUFC were waiting for Pieters go-ahead before sanctioning Enrique to #LFC. Should find out more from Pardew in a bit. Looks to me like Enrique is on the brink of signing and we're not even close to that stage with anyone yet.

Most clubs hold on to their players until they get a replacement signed, see Liverpool getting Carroll before letting go of Torres. Not Newcastle though, its sell now deal with the replacement later with these clowns. Sickening.

Feels like this gets earlier every year. Some shite team now and probably Arsenal away in the 3rd round, cup over.

First choice LB for the Netherlands? He must be pretty good then.

& this Don't think Pardew will be happy with what's going on at the club & I can't really see what he's doing wrong in all of this?? How many of us hate or disagree with the way our boss runs a company?? You still try to do the best job you can!! Come the start of the season I will be 100% behind Pardew ( come Christmas however... ) The thing in the back of my mind is how he got the job. He took the job about a month at least before Hughton was even sacked and was simply waiting in the wings for the perfect moment that would cost Hughton his job. That to me stinks and is exactly the kind of behaviour we are used to under Ashley and Llambias, so why shouldn't the 3 of them be a bunch of con artists rather than Pardew simply being another poor manager getting a hard time from the owner?

Hopefully I can quote you on that in 4 weeks and say I was wrong.

At least wait until September until the window closes and we see the team play a few games before deciding we're doomed lads Theres no doubt things are bad here again and our manager doesnt exactly fill us with confidence, but I still think there are worse teams in the league than Newcastle.

Christ

Pardew is either a liar or is being lied to, or even both, so I'd pay no attention to anything he says.

Think of that 3-1 last season man, its scary to think how far both clubs have come since then.

He's never going anywhere. Unless Mike suddenly realizes that if we're bottom at Christmas, a Premier League club will be easier to shift than a Championship one He couldnt sell it before in the Premier League. He was also happy to watch Kinnear manage us straight down to the 2nd tier.
