The amount of empty seats is wild.

I'll get reading it shortly. I would have thought you'd have been able to lose £90m without breaking the rules. Feels like the stadium sale kills two birds with one stone.

So is Maguire's figures including that you think? He didn't mention it at all when talking about you.

Kieran Maguire said you were in a healthy position PSR wise in January and that you could spend £200m this summer and be fine, and that was before the stadium sale. You're in an incredible position now PSR wise and I'd say this move is so you can offer your top players better contracts while still strengthening the squad. It's a signal of intent for me. Not sure how it can be spun as a negative.

I'd say it was always in the plans, just waiting for the right moment to do it so you can splurge.

Whitwell essentially saying the fee and wages would be too much for us.

I'm happy about it, don't worry. Looking forward to your summer window.

£129m profit too. We can't compete with that.

It's a win win Rich. Just happy we're all on a level playing field now.

Newcastle: Oh the rules don't allow us to compete. Also Newcastle: Let's sell our stadium to ourselves.

I don't think I spout any nonsense Booby.

Redknapp is nearly 80 man.

Froggy just uses media reports to make educated guesses. It's not rocket science son. Your insistence that these reports are wrong makes you more of a know it all than me. Settle down petal.

Personally, I doubt either will happen. Bruno seems committed to the cause, and is also outside of the supposed INEOS age profile. I think Tonali would cost a fortune as well and we could probably get Baleba or Wharton for less, and they're also younger. I think INEOS will ultimately go for the cheaper option and I don't think that's Tonali, both in the fee and in wages.

We sent you Rossi on loan. Checkmate.

There wouldn't be any formal approach to Newcastle until the season ends. I'm sure we have a fair idea where we're heading with a permanent manager by that point. Again, how many of our players have been given over £200k since INEOS came in? 0. We're not handing Tonali £100k more a week than Mbeumo.

The last decent player we got off you was Andy Cole over 20 years ago. Since then we've given you stalwarts like Gillespsie, Smith, Butt, Simpson and Obertan who made 500+ appearances combined for you. You owe us a good one.

We used to for sure but not anymore as there's a wage structure under INEOS. None of our signings under INEOS are on more than £195k. Tonali would be offered in and around that amount, with a bonus obviously. Maybe a 20% pay rise from what he's on now, but nothing you couldn't match.

Pendejo. Black, Mexican and Irish? Boy have you have lost your way 'cause I'll help you find it. Maybe you thought it was 800 million pesos Howe has spent?

I think you could score against N.I. Johnny.

Nobody had their wages doubled or tripled from what you offered.

A Casemiro replacement. Mainoo is about to get a new contract and he's more of an 8. The plan is a three man midfield with Fernandes, Mainoo and a new signing.

I was just messing around with Mike.

What's a massive contract? We've a wage structure under INEOS now. If Tonali thinks he's going to get a Casemiro deal then we're the wrong club for him. It will be £180-200k, and if that's not enough for him we'd just move on to Wharton. I do think a fans perspective is always the most important though. The reaction on here about this news has me a tad worried if we did sign him, as I was under the impression he was absolutely class.
