So have you bet £300 in total then? (adding up everything in the posts above)

Why is it a problem?

Best FGS, Newcastle 2-0, 42/1. Barton FGS, Newcastle 2-1, 140/1.

Seems to have forgotten a load of my last pages. I.e. when I click on 'new' by the side of a thread title, it takes me to posts from first week of August.

Debating whether to kick Nani out. To replace with either Young or Silva. ?? Gonna have one last week of gambling on torres as captain though.

NUFC youth team player touting for local businesses. Blatantly getting a free stereo in his new VW and valets for life at LJD.

Because if he sells the club for 150 million, its a profit Well, yeah, but only 12m. And so what? He spent his own money to buy the club. Whether it was done through a holding company, and whether the debt is on the books of the holding company and/or the club is largely irrelevant. It's his business so whether he chooses to put it as a debt on the club balance sheet, pay it off in chunks, pay it off now is up to him. It all boils down to the same thing really. It would be that simple if the club had created all of the debts on there own but he's added £138m to the clubs debt which wasn't there before he bought it. That's whats so bad about this not whether he chooses to pay it back or not or makes a profit on sale. Well in my eyes anyway. Yes, but whether that debt is on the balance sheet or not, doesn't matter much to anything. It's basically only him officially marking what return he wants out of the club, as someone else said above. He could choose to not have the debt on the balance sheet, draw a 14m a year salary for 10years, and it would still be the same thing. You can only suggest he's making the club worse off* if he's taking out disproportionately more than he's investing in comparison with the previous owners. (Who, i think, weren't putting a penny in) *Purely in a financial sense, and ignoring any managemenet/football type decisions.

No.

Also, irrespective of how it's structured, Ashley basically used 138m to buy the club, and will recoup that 138m from the club. Seems a bit sensationalist to label it an LBO or compare us to Liverpool.

If you're all assuming the scenario is: 1. Ashley "lends" SJH 138 million 2. SJH buys club for 138 million. Transfers debt to club. 3. Gives club to Ashley for $0.00 4. Club revenue pays down 138m debt Where does MA get any money out of it? I don't know if the club pays him a salary, but even if it's a big six figure one, it doesn't seem like ti'd justify the above carry on for that alone.

lee_ryderLee Ryder Mega rich Anzhi have made a £41m bid for Andy Carroll ?!

Didn't realise Spurs have 29 registered players, so have to sell before they can buy.

Tweeted yesterday somthing like "I'm in talks.... all I say for now..."

From the Guardian: "11.57am: "Balotelli update!!!!" woops Josh Halliday on email. "But not the one we were hoping for. His profile page is borked because of a "problem with Opta reference", according to the web wonks that run the MCFC site." Ah, well."

A transfer deadline day bid for a Wigan player you say? What could go wrong... ?

Most of them have a fair point to be honest. Proper small time s*** from the Chron. :notatallshockedorsurprisedsmiley: To be honest I got a laugh out of it but you should see what we get for journalism over here.... http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/rebecca-wilson-says-a-league-to-concerned-with-quick-fix-solutions/story-e6freyar-1226123146993 Thought that article seemed alright til this: "Kewell has played very little in recent seasons because of chronic leg injuries. He will be very lucky to make it on to the paddock for a full season with the Victory."

Most of them have a fair point to be honest. Proper small time shit from the Chron. :notatallshockedorsurprisedsmiley:

Fucking class, we need someone to fill the controversy gap left by Barton. And the 'antics' gap's been empty since Faustino left...

Mail reckon he is off to Fulham Always like the look of Gignac when I've seen him play. Not many times I admit. "Newcastle, new asylum for Frenchies, would be happy to have him..." http://www.spacefoot.com/mercato-france-marseille/om:-gignac-pousse-vers-la-sortie-pro_articles_details,B8414,F1010.html

Would be blocked for same reason as Lukaku loan to Stoke, Shirley?

LiterallyJamie Not Jamie Redknapp Dad's making poached eggs by standing near a hen and whispering "They're 'triffic eggs, but they're not my eggs". Must be deadline day
