£5 winnings against a total stake of nearly £2K? He doesn't seem to be that good at gambling on football TBH.

what what?

He loaned the money after the period these accounts cover so it will not appear, I'd have thought.

A points comparison chart.

We should sell the that LLLLDLD... banner. I went to search for an image, google images looked like this which I though was funnier: http://i.imgur.com/X2Kcidn.png

i'm happy that I'm disappointed. I don't understand this emotion.

Yes, he played there for Bordeaux. Cover for when Janmaat bombs forward and runs out of steam, tucks into the centre if Shelvey gets past halfway.

This is the relegation season

At least we won something - Programme of the year! http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20160114/programme-named-premier-leagues-best_2281670_5273198?

Cisse looks like he's had his lower body swapped with a Lego mini figure.

Zero difference to the club itself. Good thing for those who want rid of him if he goes more easily because a potential buyer has to pay less due to the fact he has less tax to pay on any gains. I think it's obvious he's mostly concerned about the money. Fairly simple, reasonable logic I'd have thought.

& just where would you think Newcastle might be without him then Steve? I didn't have him down for being that ignorant to be honest. I do, most people just listen to the sounds bites "he cleared the debt blah blah" but in reality when you start looking at things the debt is now worse. Gibson isn't going to check out AO.com or google search Swiss ramble. He'll just repeat what he has heard from Sky Sports news and other halfwit pundits who never research things. TBF there is a difference between the debt now and debt then. The debt now is a interest-free loan from the owner. Could easily be turned into equity, but that is not in the owners interest. With the loans he has a way to take money out of the club without paying taxes (the other way is paying the owner dividends or salary). I'm not an accountant so I might be wroong I think you're right. Also if it remains as a loan, if/when he sells, he has less liability for capital gains tax when he sells up. The loan portion is just a repayment of a loan. This ought to be a good thing from our point of view, means rather than converting to equity and sticking out for the long haul, he could have an eye on selling up in the future and sodding off. I might wrong too, like.

If it is basically the same job that he is doing now, he would be insane to leave Madrid to come here. Insane is a pre-requisite for this job, no?

If I had a choice I'd give this Paul Clement geezer the job: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/12/paul-clement-english-coach-real-madrid http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24032226 He understands the European "coach" job, that's what he is now. But I don't and we'll end up with someone terrible.

Elliot looks like a massive bag of satsumas on this feed.

I think it's getting to the point where the anti Pardew stuff will begin to have an effect on the brand value and by association, a negative effect the sports direct associations. That will be the difference to Ashley. It's the thing he really cares about. While we are not worth much in advertising or shirt sales terms to his business in financial terms, it calls his judgement into question and his shareholders might begin to think twice. That's the only thing I think would make a difference. Unfortunately. And I'm probably wrong because he is nothing if not contrary.
