Arsenal £300m debt Man Utd £700m debt Obviously for some people Championship football with no debt is better than challenging at the top with debt. Obviously some people haven't noticed that we're no longer even in the same league as Man U and Arsenal, never mind the same level

I come by here about as much as I used to but I find myself with absolutely no desire to comment on anything. What kind of interesting things can you say when you're watching a massive train wreck in slow motion with a dozen of your friends and family on board?

alright then, time to go back to mode.

Where the f*** is he anyway? He hasn't been on for ages. Does he have one of those 'lives' or something? Last Active: Today at 01:27:28 PM Last post: Yesterday at 12:41:34 PM I'm still around, but graduating from college and being on a plane for 20 hours in the past week may have something to do with my relatively low activity. That and the fact that even thinking about Newcastle induces projectile vomiting. This news certainly makes me feel a bit better though

fucking hell I saw the preview of the thread title and it only showed up to "100m" so I hoped to see "100m asking price met by unnamed party." This is just.... There are no words. Fuck life.

Might as well start preparing for League One now. Apathy has seriously set in for me. We're not getting sold, not getting a manager, and certainly not getting promoted. I don't even come on here much anymore because I'd just rather not think about it. Feel like I should just come back and check in August.

He'd be rampant in the Championship I reckon, assuming that Shearer wises up and plays him up front.

http://greg.org/archive/team_america_kji.jpg I wov the toon! Come to think of it he'd be an awesome owner. Can you imagine him doing transfer negotiations? "We want Jermaine Beckford for free or we'll develop nuclear weapons."

Watch it turn out to be wor Kim from N Korea. That might be worth it just for the comedy value. If other fans hated us for Bowyer and Barton, they'd f***ing love us with wor Kim in charge. I'd laugh at my own club and be perfectly happy about it. It will probably be the most entertainment NUFC has ever given me.

I don't class myself at naive but I'd rather not have this Sultan person as owner if all the stories are true. Supporting NUFC is difficult enough without having a criminal and evil dictator as our owner.

Is that really that big of an issue? Aside from the top four and their foreign imports, I'd not think that the average standard of reserve team youngster would be that different between Premiership and Championship teams.

Could make us a hell of a lot more attractive. I'm inclined to think he'll take what he can get especially with wages running so high (money that has to be found every month) till they are shifted. Might not be so easy to shift either. Aye, the wages until Owen/Viduka/Cacapa/etc f*** off are just dead money now the season is over. The quicker he gets out the better for him. If you think about it (assuming Owen is on £105,000 a week as many papers and FM document) then from the final day on May 24th, Owen will make £525,000, over half a million, from simply going into training for a couple of days and then sunning it and watching racehorses, in 5 weeks. There will probably be some excessive loyalty bonus for him seeing out his contract too. He should be made to work by NUFC until his contract expires in my opinion. what do you want him to do like? work in the ticket office sorting the season ticket renewels out? A job that forces him to be on the phone with fans for several hours a day? ...That would actually be brilliant.

You know, if the asking price gets any lower Shearer could probably just go buy the club himself

Ashley will no doubt drag on this sale for the next decade or so, and we'll end up with a brand new incompetent owner who'll take until August to appoint Paul Jewell. ....

Because for the past year at this club, the worst case scenario has steadfastly never failed to come true.

So worst case scenario: Ashley fucks up the sale, no prospective buyer in sight, Shearer walks, club goes into administration, docked 10 points, all the players are sold, relegated to League One. And there's not a fucking thing we can do about it. I hate life.

f***ing piece of s*** idiot. I should go just shoot him in the head. It would be worth it. Never mind goodbye Premiership football, we look set to wave goodbye NUFC.

I'm not confident whether he'd be any better in the Championship than he was in the Prem. They don't make the goals any wider there.

best for both parties if he's moved as soon as possible.

Head says "it's about as likely as us making top seven in the Premiership had we stayed up." Heart says "FUCK YES."

NUFC is gone so they need somebody else to be the "deluded club that thinks they should be in the top 6" for them. Tottenham Hotspur. No, no, no. Tottenham Hotspur is the "adorable up and coming club that is BOUND to make the top 4 one of these days."

Krul can have all the cup games. Best solution all around imo.

We can't just stick Krul in "because he'll leave us otherwise." We need to play the player who's good enough, pure and simple and we know that Harper is. We don't know if Krul is. Yes, Krul may very well be better than Harper one day but he needs to prove it first. Preparing for the Premiership before we're actually in the Premiership is a great way to make sure that we never get there in the first place.
