I don't know, I'll have to ask you. you are more pathetic than I ever thought. You have your wish. I hope you are happy You would have some credibility if you came out and admitted you 've been made to look like a complete buffoon........in fact your post here and the last time you posted such childish nonsense only serves to confirm the fact I'm not buying this charade anymore. I'm more convinced than ever than NE5 is Mick's brother-in-law from a previous marriage, and this ongoing spat has more to do with 25 year old grudges over stolen toys from Christmas crackers than it has anything to do with football.

I can't believe the level I've brought this serious thread down to. It's went down like a Muslim in a pork store. (See what I did there?) Just thought - would that mean we'd not be able to buy pork-related products (bacon sarnies, hot dogs etc) either in the ground or before we got in the ground? Would SJP become a Halal club? The potential for such great headline writing would be there for all, especially if they appointed Shearer as manager.

I will happily take down any of the figures I have quoted if you can show me where they are wrong. If any of those numbers are wrong then Shepherd will not be allowed to be a company director as he signed the accounts and gave them to Companies House. They don't like being lied to. Over to you, find me one, and I'll happily apologise, otherwsie I'll assume that really you accept them, and were just making your comment for a laugh. I was being jovial tbf but i will make some serious points for you. The rest of the premiership is run the same way and the data in 2007 showed most other clubs were making bigger losses than us (the data was posted on this forum and debated at length). You always made it sound like we were the only club with financial issues, whereas in fact we were / are just typical. Debt is not a big issue when you have a certain income stream. If you sell shirts for a living, you cant hold that much debt as shirts can go out of fashion. Football clubs are for life not just for christmas. Hence Arsenal's debt is astronomical but manageable etc etc etc Top 4 blah blah blah. More importantly, where have you been for the last 2 weeks? Surely your time had come when the fans started the Ashley out stuff, surely you should have been supporting him as he saved the club from extinction? You've come back when Shepherd was mentioned but not when the man who saved the club from Shepherd needed your support. Strange that. Has probably been a bit busy with other work at Freshfields, Chex.

Keep up.

If they're anything like you then they probably are. You try to be 'zany' far more than I do to be fair. Ouch. Just making a point. Get yourself a cocktail stick and you'd have another point.

Let's see the mackems boycott oil and gas over winter. Fingers crossed. mackems.gif

Not sure I follow your logic?

You need to get out more.

No but camel might be on the menu for the feast of Ramadan. Good, catering in the ground has been rank rotten for too long. Time to get some nice shwarma in the kiosks. And plenty mint tea as well.

I dont know a great deal about horse racing but speaking to people that do, I have been told that it is all about the winning & owning the best horses rather than the money for the people involved in horse racing from the middle east. They take great delight in beating fellow Arabs on winning a major race or out bidding one for horses. Is this stuff true? True when it comes to Horse races in the UAE, Camel races in Saudi Arabia, sadley even though we are in 2008 and even though those people own so much money they still think as if this was 1850, for them winning a horse race and owning the best horse is a source of great pride and honour, they would pay millions to get the best horse and will stop at nothing to get it, its truely ridiculous. As your our man in the middle east, do you think the same would be adopted to running a football team wanting to own the best players, wanting the glory of trophies? With the people being linked with Newcastle United Pretty much yeah, if they put their mind on something they'll stop at nothing to make it happen, and if we got bought by someone from Dubai for example then their is no doubt they'll want to outdo the Abu Dhabi based Man City. However lets not forget that this is football, its not a bunch of animal running in circles, money isn't always everything here athough it does play a huge part. Would we all need to bring prayer mats to the match in future (for half time)?

You'd have thought that having fallen prey to the fake Sheikh scam under previous management, those in charge of NUFC would be more wary and circumspect about serenading strange Arabian businessmen... ...can't wait for next week's News of the World EXCLUSIVE.

It just occurred to me that this picture of Ashley... http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/09/16/article-0-02AB30DA00000578-226_468x375.jpg ...bears a striking resemblance to a certain poster's avatar: http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8864/robstertw0.png

Why did the NUFC Finances website just come to a "natural end" when Ashley took over? I think we should be told.

Talking of Anorthosis - did anyone see this from Jim White?

haha, who gives a shit about Scottish rubbish mackems.gif I think macbeth is trying to allude to the sort of nightmare financial situation clubs can find themselves in when they are stuck (through no fault of their own) with an owner/chairman who has no real interest in the club or whose motives for owning the club are not entirely football focussed...

What a revolting thought. Still whatever floats your boat. Take it you'll be the one with the camera?

What about the other £1 million? They're donating that towards our server. What about the other £1 million? Dennis Wise's payoff. I preferred Andy's response.

He obviously stumbled across this forum before. Oh, man...PARKY, man!!!

Mike Ashley finds time between meetings for a quick rendition of much-loved minstrel classic "Ol' Man River" [/jazzhands]

You don't want to win the lottery.

At least SJP and possibly the city of Newcastle would be free from terriorist attacks then Yeah. Cos that's exactly how it all works Decky. Aye, because i was deadly serious :lol: :lol: Zing.

It's amazing. I lost 18 pounds in three months on the Slimfast diet...I thought that was impressive until I bought Newcastle United and managed to lose millions of pounds in just a couple of weeks.
