They'd be fucked if they were one of their customers.

Sometimes the light at the end of a tunnel is a train.

He could be stupid enough to think it's good English.

For size.

I feel the same about Newcastle as Don Corelone felt about going to the morgue to see Sonny.

Likely to just be a simple cashflow thing. The club may be making a lot of money but it may take time to get it. If you want serious cash quickly Banks are the places to go. It's more an issue of why he's doing it than the Practice of doing it. can you explain that more? we seem to 'know' that he's cooked the books to hide the profit from last year so why wouldn't he just be using that 'profit' to pay for what he's loaning? Because the profit might not be readily available. It's difficult to comment too much on why anything like this is done unless we are told explicitly. He isn't necessarily loaning anything he is just getting access to money quicker. So say the PL is going to give him £60m in £20m annual installments for the TV money. During that time he can only use that money once it's been paid to him. If he goes to the bank and says lend us £60m the bank will have the funds in place to do that. They know they are getting £60m back because it's secured against the TV deal. The bank gets it's money back and Ashley gets the cash tomorrow. That's a very crude example but it's the sort of thing that's common place in business as you need a cash injection to finance something and banks generally are the only places that have cash available quickly. Why Ashley wants money up front is anyone's guess but he will feel it can be put to better use now than waiting for it to come in installments.

That's greek to me, what does it mean? That he has borrowed money from...? He has borrowed money from Barclays and used the Premier League Money as Security (a guarantee of the money existing). Could have been done for a number of reasons. I.e. he wants money to spend now but it will be paid in installments over the course of a 3 year period under the premier league contract.

Nothing makes me sadder than Beardsley being the company shill.

Harsh on Daryl.

Come on feel the noise.

I guess that's not really surprising.

Completely pointless distinction to draw. Honestly man.

You mean there isn't really a shoe council?

That this needs explaining.

Why not email Ashley out your questions? You're like one of those closet cases berating the pro-gay lobbies right now. You just want a closer look that's all isn't it.

Southampton did a Leeds and now they are one of the top clubs in the Country. Also the most profitable.

A common theme in all great sporting triumphs.

If you think Newcastle United could be better than they are now then you must stand against Ashley.

You're saying nothing at all and using many words to do it.
