It will be Townsend but it'll come with lashings of huffy media stories that will try to unsettle him.

The last time we proper moaned on at a shirt was the yellow deckchair abomination and look what happened that season, maybe that's the plan.

As long as the flags/banners dont break any fire or safety regs then im sure the club will be all for it. It's them that will profit just as much as the fans at the end of the day. win/win.

The clause is supposedly £13.5m but it means nowt if Townsend wants to stay. The lure of an exciting era ahead here on the back of an increased weekly wage will be attractive enough.

It's all about demand in both categories. although ambition comes into it as well. If we need players in order to progress then that's fairly obvious in it's importance as having to take priority but the more the club succeeds in ticking the fans boxes, the greater the demand will become. As it stands, we are not selling out the season ticket demand which must surely be capped off at around the 40,000 mark. If we know for a fact that cash sales on an individual basis is between 10-15,000 then the higher the season ticket sale will lower the availability. If we get week after week of people complaining that they cant get in and a waiting list is being talked about again then the demands to increase will grow. As it stands we're falling short on a number of options but a promotion and a marriage between Rafa and the board that seems to be working will sooner rather than later have this issue raised in public. Then could see the first real test in how big Rafa wants us to become and an owners reluctance to grow the football side of the brand.

Up until Rafa, the Ashley regime has stripped everything from the club and turned it all negative , the result has seen the club lose thousands of fans and potentially the generations after. Thinking on the back of that, there was never any need to think about extending the ground never mind talk about it as the gate receipts by an increased stadium would take umpteen years to be recouped. That however is thinking in terms of business but thinking in terms of ambition and an ambitious football club, an extension should be being talked about now and especially so if we're promoted as the Rafa effect should not be underestimated. A club put into a trance like state has suddenly seen it's fanbase shaken to waken up and the extra 10,000 or so fans that could be potentially added by an extra tier would not only bring in the extra revenue there but the feel good factor of having an ambitious club would snowball into other areas not to mention be advertised further around the world. The income available then would be closer to the likes of Spurs but thinking further away and with daft misty eyed visions, we should be on a par with Liverpool if Rafa waves his magic pixie dust on us and gets us competing or a trophy added to the cleaners weekly tasks. We can see the potential and by the sounds of it, Rafa does too. It will be an interesting three years if he progresses to a level that matches his CV and if Ashley buys into that, you just never know.

So basically, footy headlines are now using the same shirt design as todosobrecamisetas and from that it must be 99% certain they're right. They're all further back in the thread but for ease... Here they are.

I printed a direct debit form off the website, filled it in, sent it off in the 5 o clock post and by the following dinner time, I had confirmation and an emailed receipt in me inbox. Monthly payments still as well.

no they're not.

Quite like this as well http://todosobrecamisetas.com/wp-content/uploads/16bayawlko3.jpg

Now I know why some councils aren't painting lines in the middle of the road anymore, it's because they've all defected to shirt companies. regardless, quite like this one. http://todosobrecamisetas.com/wp-content/uploads/16juveawlko3.jpg

It would have been exactly that under Pardew. He'd have been the Man Utd loving teacher who would have to have it all his own way. He'd have had the likes of Coloccini, Gouffran, Mike Williamson and the usual suspects on his side.

Just a random thought here. Surely cold cakes sell quicker than hot ones?

The corner isn't sold out yet contrary to NUFC saying so as I can still get tickets in section A and B. only about 10 mind.

Got to be soon like as there's next to nowt upstairs in the official shop/ NUFC branch of Shit Direct.

Already saw 2 ex-NUFC players in two completely random places today. Shearer driving towards the civic centre down the road past the back of the university and Shola driving from Gosforth towards Fawdon way in an open necked shirt and his shades,Merc windows down.

Canny sized queue at the box office when I passed half an hour ago considering we're in division 2 now.

Put it on the list of inexplicable deals we've done in the last few years. Ashley will be laying low as someone will have noticed the obscene amount of brown envelopes he gets through the door.

Probably the same as most in that he'll be wanting paid up until the end of the football year. Im sure it's June 30th. Even then, he has another 12 months on top of that, that will need paid off. All this before you even whisper the transfer fee words. At best we'll get about £2 million for him although his wages of £60k - £80k a week off the bill will put Charnley back in Ashley's dressing gown again.

Some horrors next season mind. http://i2.wp.com/thekitman.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/img_2322.jpg?w=592 http://mancitygifts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Untitled.design.9.jpg

bearing in mind the clause is more like £12m or £13m, it's just blah blah blah to fill pages when there's not much happening

Looks like Mike's ploy has come off (deflected hassle and increased revenue). All he needs to do now is stick to his end of the bargain.

Should have them by midweek but if you're on the direct debit scheme then surely it auto-renews because the first payment goes out in Feb/March.
