'£23m to the good'? Try nearer £300m - half in TV cash/prize money, the rest in free advertising for his tat emporium and club merchandise. Quite possibly more.

Totally this. He's not well at all. No joke.

Did an interview with the co-manager of Iceland recently. The Icelandic FA academies start taking players in aged five or six and ALL of their coaches, even for that age group, have either UEFA A or B licences. Probably why a country of 320,000 people and an appalling climate is FIFA ranked in the 30s, and beating The Netherlands in their EURO 2016 qualifying group, in which they are second at the half-way stage.

Scary stuff. So a well thought out and intelligent tactical plan executed by a team of highly motivated and drilled players has f*** all to do with winning games and success Of course not. Don't be so naive.

Same here. Me too. No manners, the sod.

Ask Gael Bigirimana.

That is fucking excellent.

OK, maybe a couple of mill then. It won't, because the club will never disclose what we actually paid for him..!

Cabella was c.£5.2 million. Minimum i've seen is £8.8m and a max of £13m. Journalist I know at France Football told me we paid £1.8m for Riviere and £5.2m for Cabella. The rest was all wages and agents' fees, bungs, etc. Of course, NUFC haven't disclosed the fee but we paid less than half of the 'widely accepted' £12m figure for the player himself. Be lucky to get £3m back tomorrow, I reckon.

Cabella was c.£5.2 million.

If ncj had any fucking journalists worthy of the name, yes.

If he quits he doesn't get paid. He'll never have been on the wedge that others were so he probably needs the coin. Yes, he's got 5.5 years left on his contract. If he walks, he gets nothing as you point out. Even in the recesses of his simian mind, however, is that he can't quit because he's virtually unemployable.

Liverpool and Newcastle have already had 'discussions' about Janmaat. Source: football reporter at the Echo that I know (who actually does the Everton beat). Unlikely to be here next season.

Been like this ever since they got their ban lifted. Ryder is the worst by far - he's absolutely terrified of not being able to get in for free, to lose part of his 'platform'. This is because he thinks his opinions matter, but he's an absolutely terrible journalist.

It seems they're putting a lot of thought into shafting the b******. Well that would be amazing, especially if they default on the money they owe him as well http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-board-launches-probe-after-5487885? I read (maybe on the Chronicle comments section) that he has done something similar with us although as he is the owner, I guess it is within his rights but could be an indication of complications should there be a buyer for the club. It won't be so simple. He can't say to us that we can't use black and white stripes because he has the rights to it, that would be like saying Notts county can't either, though he may own the right to specific strips. If he wants the rights to the logo then go ahead, I bet their a ton of designers out there who could come up with a simple variation of our current one. I'm getting one made up at the moment using the Nike teamwear black-and-white striped shirt, official club patch, and the 'ashley fu*k off' alternative sponsor's patch. Looks absolutely mint - and not one single cent for fatty.

It certainly is a mystery, with the profits the club is generating.

Stay up. All other considerations secondary.

They really, really look so much more 'up for it' than we do.

That is absolutely shocking. Looks like the Newcastle tie around the collar,which would be bad enough if it was centered. It's on the p*ss and looks horrific. Probably the worst kit design I've ever seen. It's so basic it's beyond belief, like a bairn knocked up the template using wordart or something. Suggested somewhere this might be a training top? The other shirts have a patch-badge back whereas this is still the 0.0005mm-thick transfer crest. The collar also. It's still fucking bogging, mind.

It was really a question of space; 'fu*k off' was a good fit and got to the point. An acquaintance has sold a few with 'ashley - pure scum', which I thought not bad. You're limited by the shape and layout of the patch, obviously.

http://tinyurl.com/oecq6s8 Are you really still trying to flog this s****? :lol: Yeah. Succeeding, too. Done about 25 shirts and 50 transfers. Make pennies, but people still asking for them... At least you're finally admitting to being the dafty behind them. Surely you'd sell a lot more of these things without the profanity, no? No idea. Not me selling them. Just saw it on the eBay page of the guy who's sold shirts with the 'ashley - fu*ck off' patch on. My artwork and concept but initially, I wasn't selling them, dafty!

All shirts I sold/am selling come from a variety of 3rd parties at less than cost. Puma made far too many of the first wonga home kit, for example. Even shitedirect.com had the home shirt at £8.49 at one point. Got a '£0 for Ashley' shirt on the way - Nike Teamwear black and white shirt, club crest (embroidered patch), customised sponsor's patch. Looks far smarter, and obviously vastly improved quality over the official Puma crap. Official crest? Cos the club could take legal action to stop you selling them, as it's copyrighted. I'm aware of that. Interestingly, if you sell the shirt without the crest attached, that's not a breach of copyright.

Most all of the adidas change kits were class.
