Interpolic

Cookers aren't cheap these days.

I clearly know fuck-all about accounting but regardless I stand by the opinion that player amortisation has no place whatsoever in accounts related to football clubs.

I'm with Ian here, I don't understand it. I don't understand how we've accumulated £30m+ in a bank account, yet have reported a seemingly separate profit of £19m.

Nothing incredible about it. It's totally obvious, if you're prepared to use your brain. It was widely reported that Keegan was reprimanded by Ashley for telling the truth to the fans, the truth being that we couldn't challenge the top 4 without significant investment. He may well have been trying to exert pressure on the owner for more funds, but the point I was making is that the way you repeatedly turn things around on one of the best men ever associated with the club in favour of proven liars is absolutely unreal. Very strange. Also, Ashley was quoted many times in his first few years at NUFC saying that he wanted us to challenge the best. Upto you whether he was lying or not.

Your spin on events is incredible.

Weeks and weeks of this drivel to come.

Dreamiest fucker going, this chap.

That TF video is outstanding, hopefully it helps convey the message.

They'll include a whole year's worth of Sissoko, Debuchy, Haidara et al rather than the previous set of accounts which only included a few months worth of their collective wage? Ah that's a fair pont. We did lose a few though - Cabaye in Jan, and Simpson, Perch, Harper, Ranger at the start of the season.

Why would wages have increased during those 12 months, when we only signed Remy / L De Jong on loan and IIRC moved a few players on?

Have they set aside the money for transfers after year-end, and added it to costs somehow? I know the likely answer to that is No but it seems strange that they've referred to it at the end like that, with no other explanation of increased costs.

Maybe they gave that £30m to geordie orphans.

Basically 7 cup finals between now and the end of the season then.

Ashley doesn't get any of the away money, does he? Maybe a booking fee?

Ah of course, a bit of indiscipline at the end so yet another player's unavailable.

Put a striker on for a midfielder man, passionate as fuck.

Controversial but correct. @ both.

did you kill him, Mick? Jesus.

None as clear as that but seems like there have been 4-5 since Christmas we could/should have been given.

Sympathy in short supply, cos:

English players who started against the mackems - Williamson, Colback, Sammy, R.Taylor. Howay man, they weren't any better than any of the forrins.

Didn't realise Jesus Navas was 29, what a disappointment he's been.
