One more year I think, but I would expect them to renew it automatically regardless, only bump the price. I usually get a letter in February with the payment schedule for the upcoming season so wanted to cancel before that. Think the first season it was put in place was 2010/11, so yes, next season would be the final season of the original deal. However, I seem to recall that they reset it to ten years about two or three seasons into the deal, although I can't find anything anywhere to confirm that.

Probably. Let's face it, we've been here before. Can you say anything about the amount of the bid? No amounts were mentioned, but all the due dilligence/data room stuff has been done. A bid has been made, with certain issues raised, but people are waiting to act on it. For what it's worth, this is more or less what I have just been told by someone who I trust, and who has contacts within the club. A delegation acting on behalf of one of the interested parties visited SJP last week to conclude the process of due diligence. Apparently, the feeling around the club is that the sale is very much on, subject to the price being agreed. I know that this is a big stumbling block, but I'm feeling quite positive about it all.

Seem to recall a few years ago that the owners of the building currently occupied by Superdrug also applied for planning permission for a digital screen, and this was rejected. Could be mistaken here, but I think Intu raised an objection and it was upheld. Therefore, a precedent has been set already.

Every word of that sentence could easily be applied to sunderland's woeful premiership tenancy. Good luck on 'Project 17th' you underwhelming, low-expectation having, easily pleased cretins. The irony of that statement, that is part of a mackem fanzine article twisting about NUFC and its supporters, which has a word count in excess of twelve hundred.

Absolutely this - The point has now been reached where significant investment is unavoidable without severe consequences. It would be catastrophic for this to be overseen by a nugget like him. Investing in a decent manager and giving him the funds to do what is required would finally be a massive step in the right direction. Of course, all of this will not happen for all the obvious reasons.

The bookies aren't giving them much of a chance. Betfair are offering 18/1 for a sundo victo.

Wearing the shirt right now and didn't know about this, but the Mrs has just spotted it which prompted me to check this thread..... The embroidery on the sleeve says "Steve Harper's 20 Year Charity March".

I ordered two on 5th August and as of yesterdays post I still hadn't received them. Took a walk up the ground just before lunch and they were happy to issue reprints without too much fuss. They just asked for my membership number and surname. That's what I did today. I'd ordered mine at the beginning of August too. It only took a couple of minutes to get new ones printed. Read of a few people who haven't received their tickets. Have to say though that I was pleased with how easy it was to rectify the issue.

Gerry Francis is available tbf This is what worries me the most, I saw one report where he said that the club or Kinnear had been in touch. As it currently stands, Pardew is probably our best hope. We've really sunk that low. The Francis link was from the last time JFK was here. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/gerry-francis-ponders-newcastle-offer-956381.html Yep, that was the article - Phew! So pleased I misread/was duped/wasn't concentrating, although the fact that I saw this and thought it was a current story is worrying in itself. Sadly, I fear the next barmy appointment is only a matter of weeks away, if not days.

Mick Lowes hinted on Radio Newcastle this morning that Pardew is going to do a phone-in special later in the week, possibly to be confirmed on tonights Total Sport. That doesn't sound like the actions of someone who is expecting to depart anytime soon

Not sure its doing much for me either. I'm too excited to concentrate and I'm counting down to 4pm when I can get out of here and head to the Five Swans for some scran and beer.

Benfica for me. Think we're still very much in the tie and its far from over, and it's the closest we've been to a major trophy for years. Too much has gone into this to just sack it off now, and I'm sure we'll pick up a win and a draw somewhere along the line between now and the end of the season, which would surely see us safe. Mind, If we do beat the spampers they would still be level on points with Wigan, who by that point would have two games in hand over them. That would surely put the mackems odds on for the third relegation spot.

Insult of the day

ewww Was! Will be again when he takes them down! Well, we're about to see whether being a total f*cking loon as a manager has a place in the Premier. Been trying to remember if anyone anywhere near as crackers has managed in the top flight before, but I'm struggling. I guess Holloway and Mourinho were unique in their own way, but Di Canio's on a whole different level. It's certainly going to be interesting. If I were a betting man, my money would be on it all imploding in spectacular fashion, but I've just got this tiny worry that the gamble might pay off short term. Hopefully they'll be on the end of a proper humping today and the feel good factor will evaporate quickly. Aye, but they weren't self proclaimed fascists who had been photographed doing lots of fascist stuff, caused the resignation of a very prominent board member, and then come up with a meaningless, half hearted, orchestrated statement when it all became a little inconvenient to be a fascist. I meant them as characters, not the politics issue.....but yes, we've certainly never had a staunch Mussolini supporter managing in the premier before.

TBH, Norwegian Vicar Mag in a Desert is possibly pushing Mag on a Horse/Mag in a Sauna for supremacy.

Near 150,000 Newcastle fans through the door within the next week. Awesome effort. This...3 x 50k's in the space of a week is pretty incredible
