It's impossible to have any sort of cup run and maintain a decent league position according to? Pardew. Never heard such nonsense before

It's a crap article as it fails to mention the fact that he's getting the space for free without reducing the debt Which is the fundamental issue at hand here, he is leveraging the debt against the free advertising. In effect he's using this "interest free loan" against the club

Fixed

Think how many cheap British players we could have bought with that

But if the advertising is free, and the club still makes a profit, couldn't he also take debt repayments out? TBF, I genuinely don't understand the 'we need debt in the structure' comment. my only clue is to keep the asking price around the £200m mark besides even if he took £10m out of the club a year its still the best part of 13 years before its paid back and we all know he's not going to write it off. He's already benefitted from how many years of this free commercial space. It's funny how when the boot is on the other foot and we want to leverage his sports direct assets we have to pay the market rate. The man is a fucking leach

Wish the papers would have turned on Pardew like this

If we keep giving him free advertising space yet the debt doesn't do down its a win win for him. It's akin to only ever paying the interest on a loan

It matters if the reason the loans are interest free is because it's some tax dodgeing way of benefiting from the advertising space. If some unrelated company offered Ashley considerably more than any potential interest he might charge then he'd take it. No? I'd be surprised if we haven't had any viable offers for that space tbh

Even the board stick the boot in on the players. Pardew ain't going anywhere absolved of any blame there like

Exactly look at the amount of space they receive from ourselves. It's the sports direct arena in everything but name

Why do we have to have debt within the structure? I find it hilarious the board state that Ashleys loan is interest free and because of this the free advertising doesn't matter

Colo had a good game but let's be honest he was facing a toothless villa side who were less creative than ourselves

BTW we have the highest % of shots taken outside of the area in the league. Hence why out shots on goal figure always looks so inflated

I wish he would just fucking sit in front of the defence like the anchorman he is

Pardew defenders never want to discuss his tactics. Anyone else noticed that?

Fuck all if he's as apathetic as us. Probly sick of hearing Alan whinge about the internationals he's been given to work with

In terms of money we have last summer money, plus the Cabaye money plus this summer's money Does anyone know the average premier league club spend this season? Would be interesting to put a number on our non existing war chest

For two established top flight teams not to have a single creative player in their matchday squad is awful. Sad Indictment of the league as a whole to be fair.

Better send him back to Spain. Could see him at athletico where he'd be able to regain his form Or just give him more time to adapt. Doubt spurs will be able to give him that time. Plus it appears he doesn't fit into sherwoods plans

Because running around like a headless chicken = awesomeness Yeah, because that's exactly what I said, innit. It's what I deduced

Seemingly yes, it was tiote pushing forward in the first half. Dave was pulling his hair out

Because running around like a headless chicken = awesomeness

Spurs remind me of us but with better players

Is in dire need of some good coaching and a settled position IMHO
