DamianSpellman Damian Spellman #safc report pre-tax loss of £27.9million for the year ending July 21, 2010.

I think Cavani is out of our bracket right now. I hope we go for Drogba though he will bring lots of great things with him not to forget cemented Tiote's place in our team for extra years. We can sign Wickham kid in addition.

Inter paid Barca 19 millon for Ronaldo Liverpool paid us 35 million for Carroll In any inflation and market we robbed them http://www.football-italia.net/gb/ronaldo.html Great article about him here

I was a fan of him ..... He was not a profilc stricker but he use to give us his all when ever he plays.... His Strick Against Spurt in Jan 2007 my favorite of all...

Before we agree to sell Carroll we should have forced Liverpool not to give Torres to Chelsea unless we get a replacement like Sturridge..... only three teams involve in this and we are the only one who didn't get any player. This is why Mick fkn Ashley needs to hire someone with football knowledge as his chairman

From .com Probably Peglers Brass Works' most famous player, Newcastle had been alerted to a promising youngster on Scunthorpe's books, but failed to act before Liverpool paid £35K for his services in 1971. Punishing us on numerous occasions whilst clad in a red shirt (most notably the 1974 FA Cup Final), Kevin Keegan moved on to SV Hamburg in 1977, returning to England in 1980 with Southampton. Arrived at SJP in August 1982 thanks in part to a deal brokered between United and S&N Breweries, his effect was immeasurable in revitalising the club. England manager Bobby Robson attended his debut, sold-out crowd (officially 36,000) seeing QPR beaten 1-0 thanks a Keegan goal. Three months earlier less than 11,000 fans saw Rangers win 4-0 at Gallowgate. However that season wasn’t all plain sailing, KK forced to publicly back under-fire boss Arthur Cox after a mid-season dip in form. Two defeats in the last ten games put us on the fringe of the promotion race, but in pre- playoff days that wasn’t quite enough. The eve-of-season departure of Imre Varadi was quickly forgotten as Peter Beardsley arrived, and along with Keegan and Waddle went on to score a combined total of sixty five league goals in 1983/84. A memorable farewell at home to Brighton when the trio all netted was followed by a home friendly with Liverpool, after which a chopper landed on the centre circle, to spirit KK away into retirement. Just less than eight years later he returned though, to rescue a club who had lost the impetus provided by promotion and were again languishing in Division Two. Again the uplifting effect was instant, with a doubling of the previous home attendance to 30,000 for his first game in charge – a 3-1 win over Bristol City. However it’s often forgotten that the rest of that season was a struggle, with the threat of relegation very real until the final week. Off-field tensions also saw further intrigue – most notably a walkout as his team were playing Swindon Town amid accusations of broken promises by Newcastle’s new owners, the Hall family. That was all forgotten the following season though as United began at a cracking pace - winning their first eleven league games before succumbing at home to Grimsby. Having secured promotion and taking the title, KK's side then gave notice of their intention to gatecrash the Premier League with a 7-1 dismantling of Leicester City. KK dispensed with David Kelly, re-signing Peter Beardsley to spur Andy Cole on to a record- breaking seasonal tally of 41 goals. That secured a third-place finish, to be followed by sixth and second place finishes. However a visibly-aged Keegan resigned in January 1997 following an FA Cup tie at Charlton, having failed to deliver the title to Tyneside and six months after persuading the club to squeeze their finances in order to sign star striker Alan Shearer. Various reasons were given, but the demands and restrictions of working for a PLC remain the most plausible. Despite a line about no longer wishing to be involved in football management, KK returned within nine months, at Fulham. Subsequent spells in charge of the England national side and Manchester City came to an end in 2005, after which Keegan developed the “Soccer Circus” project at Glasgow’s Braehead retail park. All that though changed in January 2008, when manager Sam Allardyce was relieved of his duties, with the club sitting 11th in the table but without a win in five games. News of Keegan's return to United came in the hours leading up to a home replay in the FA Cup against Stoke City. And although his arrival in the Directors Box inspired United into a 4-1 victory, he'd have to wait until his tenth game back in charge before seeing the team win again. A run of four wins and two draws from six games steadied the ship and the manner of United's performances led to renewed optimism among fans, that two late season defeats only partially diminished. Behind the scenes though, things were less than perfect, with the arrival of Dennis Wise as Executive Director (football) KK's comments after the final day loss at Everton about the team being a million miles away from competing at the right end of the table would also prove to be significant. Just four games into the following season and he'd gone - after a tumultuous few weeks in which transfer dealings had been conducted by the club against his wishes. These included the sale of James Milner, the purchase of Xisco, the loan of Nacho Gonzalez and attempts to sell other first team players as the transfer deadline loomed. The wish list of players KK had prepared also looked to have been used as toilet paper in the executive washroom. With Tyneside in uproar and coach Chris Hughton pressed into service as interim manager, while attempts at brokering a peace deal between United and KK failed. The whole matter of his departure would be settled by a Premier League Manager's Tribunal in October 2009, which ruled that KK had been constructively dismissed and was therefore entitled to a £2m payout. By that point, the club were engaged in a promotion challenge following relegation and also attempting to find a new owner. They would achieve the former but not the latter. Since then Keegan has appeared as a pundit on ESPN and was applauded by Newcastle fans in January 2011 as he walked round the pitch in the FA Cup tie at Stevenage.

Martins is 10X better stricker than what we have at the momment...... the sad reality of fact....

The best article I read about us since that famous Henry Winter article in Jan 2008. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/feb/09/newcastle-arsenal-comeback-fans Vilified Toon Army deserved rare joy in Arsenal comeback Newcastle's extraordinary fightback from 4-0 down was a moment to savour for long-suffering Newcastle fans Newcastle fans Newcastle United fans are insatiable in their appetite for success but in over half a century the team have won only the Fairs Cup. Photograph: Neal Simpson/Empics Members of the Toon Army have had a terrible press over the years. Certainly in the Premier League era, Newcastle United supporters have been variously portrayed as gullible, overemotional, unrealistic, absurdly optimistic, sentimentally attached to self-appointed messiah figures who inevitably come up short and, most famously of all, prone to bursting into tears when defeat has once again been snatched from the jaws of victory. In his book 50 People Who Fouled Up Football, Michael Henderson devotes a chapter to the "Geordie Blubber", evoking the image of a grown man weeping like a baby that television cameras were quick to capture for posterity and fix in the national psyche. Henderson accuses Geordies of emotional incontinence and refers to them as our "tear-stained friends in the north", though he does acknowledge that the club has been badly run in recent years and anyone with a real passion for football would have been driven to distraction, at the very least, by the catalogue of blunders and public relations disasters. Most people feel the same way about Geordie fans. Their enthusiasm and loyalty cannot be faulted, yet they seem destined to end up with the raw deal, the ignominious defeat, the mucky end of the stick. Newcastle made it to two successive FA Cup finals at the end of the 90s and sank without trace each time. Though the team managed by Kevin Keegan in the mid-90s would have graced Wembley and given anyone a game, the sides taken to the final by Kenny Dalglish and Ruud Gullit were pale shadows compared to what had gone before and offered Arsenal and Manchester United even less resistance than Joe Harvey's players put up against Liverpool in 1974. Had Newcastle won the 1999 final they would have denied Manchester United the treble, something that might have brought even greater satisfaction than a first major trophy for 44 years (the FA Cup still felt like a major trophy 12 years ago – Manchester United had yet to withdraw from the competition and Champions League clubs had not begun to insult the competition with teams of reserves) but predictably they sank without trace. Many neutrals find it difficult to recall who were Manchester United's Wembley opponents in that treble-winning year – the match that is fixed more permanently in the memory is the epic semi-final against Arsenal, complete with replay and stunning Ryan Giggs goal. That's Newcastle's luck all over. Get to Wembley to face Manchester United in a final and everyone remembers the semi instead. No one would begrudge Tyneside the success its insatiable appetite for football deserves, but whereas passionate supporters in other hotbeds of the game such as Liverpool and Manchester, perhaps even London, have had plenty to cheer about in recent decades, it is over half a century since Newcastle won anything other than the Fairs Cup, so no one under the age of about 70 can have any idea what a satisfied, contented, deliriously happy Geordie fan looks like. That's partly why the cameras linger so lovingly on the disappointment and pain. That's what Geordies do best, having little option to do anything else. Dozens of other clubs have won as little in the past 50 years, but Newcastle are the club who think big, who occasionally crack the Champions League or mount a credible title challenge, only to end up heartbroken. In his chapter on "Geordie Blubber", Henderson makes the contentious statement that the club's fans, the Toon Army, are part of the Newcastle problem. Their expectations are so great, he argues, they are impossible to fulfil. I'm not so sure about that. You could say the same thing about Liverpool fans, for instance, but it has not been a barrier to silverware in most seasons. There may be a grain of truth in the general assumption that Newcastle fans want José Mourinho as their manager and would dearly love to win the title and give Barcelona another pasting in Europe, preferably in the next year or so, but in the meantime the majority of them would settle for much more achievable goals. A settled team, for example, an old-fashioned, home-grown centre-forward who sticks around for a season or two before the owners decide to cash in, a manager given time and support to build the side back into top-half-of-the-table material. Though there have been times, notably under Keegan and Bobby Robson, when these conditions were at least partly fulfilled and Newcastle were a force to be reckoned with, the club has too often been a laughing stock in recent years, a soap opera bordering on farce, and supporters must have been wondering when they were going to get a break. They got one on Saturday against Arsenal, and although a point saved against overwhelming odds might not amount to very much in the wider scheme of things, it made an extremely pleasant change to see images going around the world of Geordie supporters doing what they do best. Not crying, or moaning or hanging their heads, but helping turn around a seemingly lost cause by the volume and fervour of their support. Yes, I am aware that a few left the ground at half-time, unable to stomach any more. There have been people admitting as much in newspapers, and driving home from the north-east listening to the excellent Beat Surrender on Radio Newcastle (as I always do) there were requests from fans wanting to be cheered up because they had left the ground early and missed the most sensational action of the season. The early leavers could only have been a minority though. There were no discernible gaps on the terraces for the second half and no lack of vocal support once the home side began to claw their way back into the game. Nor should leaving early necessarily be construed as a protest or an attempt to register disgust. Sometimes it can be that way but often, when confronted by opponents so superior and quicker in thought and deed, it can hurt to watch one's own team being taken apart so brutally. As Joey Barton said with his usual frankness, at the end of the first half Newcastle were worried the score might reach double figures, and though the players deserve enormous credit for turning the situation around one could sympathise with supporters who reckoned they had seen enough. The game brought back memories of Liverpool's improbable comeback in the 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul. Then, too, fans tried to leave at half-time, not so much depressed by their own team's performance as unwilling to confront the fact that Milan had taken just a few minutes to crush their dreams, only to find the stadium exits locked. You will probably never get a Liverpool fan to admit this, but some were unwilling witnesses to the second half fightback and the whole miracle of Istanbul. Perhaps any team in Newcastle's position at half-time on Saturday could have expected similar support once it was clear the second half would tell a different story, but what impressed at St James' Park was the din created once the first goal went in. There were still three more to score, not counting the one that was wrongly disallowed, yet from the moment the fightback began the home crowd kept up a perfect storm of noise. Arsène Wenger admitted his players had panicked, and the extraordinary atmosphere must have been one of the reasons why. Arsenal could not break out of their own half, the decibel level kept rising, and at some point in the second half everyone in the stadium knew that Newcastle would get back on terms. Including all the players. Even so, Cheik Tioté's screamer of an equaliser produced one of the most joyous moments of this or any other Premier League season. It is difficult to jump for joy in a modern, all-seat stadium, but the Newcastle crowd managed it easily. There were people leaping into each other's arms, holding on to neighbours and chair backs for support and bouncing off the ground. It was quite something, a privilege to be present. So take enormous credit, Newcastle fans, after all that you have suffered you truly deserve it. And when you finally win something big, shiny and silver, I'd love to be there to see it.

Did you have an extremely serious drug problem at the time? He still does....

I care less if it is til end of the season we need some body real quick......

It was not a good decision in anyway though. Apart from the timing it is great decision...... but only the timing inflate the price as well so you can not complain about it greatly.....

I mean to slag of saying how can they sold him and everything is insane. For 35 million we should have have said Thank you and so long easily.

Tino..... Newcastle are very lucky to get that deal.... “It’s a great deal for them. “He was a great player for them but maybe Newcastle can buy three or even four Andy Carrolls.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/02/09/united-had-to-accept-35m-for-carroll-tino-72703-28140529/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#ixzz1DTHjSV5A

Never knew hair style is a requirement to play for this club?

Barton, Nolan and Colo all done extermilly well. But for me Tiote stands out because to perform like the way he did it in his first season in the premier league was nothing short of a miracle. It took Colo one season. Nolan half a season and Barton three season to find their foot after they move to NUFC.

He should give us another year of services for free....
