shoofla

nah neebodies ever mentioned it

will they do an episode next to the wear?

I dont like comparing eras as it's not fair, just reminiscing like yeah- fair comment- im just really iritated by how little todays players perform at thier best and have so many excuses as to why.

tbh, cisse is not as good as Cole, Cabaye is not as good as Lee, Ben Arfa is not as good as beardsley, and Pardew/ keegan- lol

Not to mention Scott Sellars on the left. Now that's what you call quality delivery. Football felt better then, more fun like Scott Sellars, jeez KK knew when to time the buying of a player. Robert Lee was handing sitters on a plate to Cole every game.

August 28th 1982. kevin Keegan makes his debut for Newcastle, scores the goal at the gallowgate in a 1-0 win vs QPR, what a day.

will go down in thier history tho for beating us 3-0 and sliding on his knees.

ferkin hell

The club's not worth 300m. Huh? My point is this: why would a company with 100 million in debt and posting yearly losses be MORE valuable to a prospective buyer than one (same assets) with no debts and posting a 20 million or so yearly profit? Can see your point but I think the key to this is that it has always been assumed that Ashley would aim at least to get back what he had spent on the club. So say he spent £140 million buying it and then put another £110 in as loan, he's out of pocket by £250 million. So if he's selling the club then the assumption is he's want that sum (at least) for the club to cover his costs. On the other hand if he ever manages to recover all of the debt out of the clubs cash flows then he would only be out of pocket by £140 million. So if he sold the club at that point for say £200 million he's made a £60 million profit overall. And potentially therefore the asking price for the club could be less without the debt. I don't know if that helps... He could, say in 5 years have the debt cleared by running us on the bare minimum...Once its all paid off, why sell? Could be a nice little earner and free sponsorship for his flagship company. The club (business) has paid for itself and is now passing profit his way without having to do much. The next TV deal will only get bigger imho...BT are going to push sky and with the economy slowly picking up it could be a good earner for Ashley. He could be here 20 years or more. I've been saying that for a while. If you have a business earning you twenty mil a year, why would you get rid? When you're a billionaire I would think there are faster ways to make money than put your money in a football club. Undoubtedly. But at the minute, and for the foreseeable, we're making him £20mil a year. My worse fear is hes gonna hang around until hes had every £ hes put in back out- then sell for profit.

yep

thats the only way to enjoy football these days.

this club had turned into a badly written soap Opera.

or sell Cabaye last minute- no time to get anyone else. ashley dissapears on holiday leaving pardew to face it, with no intention of sacking him.

one place below us All right wannabe smart arse! If you've ever been to Selhurst Park you know what I mean. settle down, I know what you mean

one place below us

Be careful what you wish for son, if NUFC ceased to exist, you and thousands of others in chickentown would apparently have no reason to live. they are oozing with the desperation to see us fail and them succeed not fail- to such an extent that they jump the gun on everything with the consequence of falling short every time.

look at how much better Hughton was, and got sacked. ( yeah I know championship)

anywhere we can see his WDL% stats over the last 38 games?
