No they fucking haven't. They've been criticised for not even trying to compete on the pitch and getting blown out of the water by such giants of the game as Huddersfield and Fulham. Anyway, fine, fuck your stupid egg head you twat, so where's the £125m from last season? It's like a video game where every season our finances reset to zero. Incompetent, duplicitous, lying, traitorous cunt. Go fuck yourself. Don't sugarcoat it, why don't you say what you really mean?? 100% bang on...

Interesting. L'Equipe is a respected paper. But, as always, what truth lies beneath?

I'm pretty certain that sold of the leaseholds of virtually all their properties about 15 years ago, when their troubles really began. It was a way of raising money for their debts and poor sales. Borrowed in the hope of improving things so rents would not be a problem. When you have to sell your house to pay the bills you know you're in trouble. So basically Ashley would have (assuming he took it over which is a massive assumption) then the only real assets is the trading performance (shit) profitability (equally shit) and the stock value. Oh, and theres a massive shortfall in the pension fund too, allegedly £400k. Not really worth the trouble in my humble opinion, but Ashley doesn't listed to me. Or anyone else.

Isn't that a bit unfair on cunts?

I take absolutely no interst in any rumour regarding any player we are interested in. It's all bollocks anyway....

Fat Sod. Will the staff at Debenhams have their pensions protected in administration ? I know a few people who work for Debenhams, they're all really scared abou ttheir jobs, understandably, but the reason why Debenhams didn't want him is based on his business ethos. Ie they've looked at the way he treats SD staff, looked at what he's done to us and thought 'We really don't want a bloke like him running (ruining?) our business. Can't blame them but they've been in the shit for a few years. It absolutely serves him right, he's behaving like the spoiled cunt he is. Hope he loses the lot. Nothing he can do to our club could possibly be worse than what he already had done and continues to do for the past decade. It so serve him right. Vengeance is best served cold? Bring in the freezers and die to expletive deleted. Not than I'm bitter or anything like that!!!

I have not, and will not, ever - EVER - buy anything from that shop. Full stop.

nufcjb, we can only dream but I love your optimism and style!

Particularly when the 'fouled' player rolls around like he'd been poleaxed!

Always thought he was under rated and certainly Sir Alf didn't think he'd fit his England style.

Criminal, yes, but when did that ever stop him doing (or not doing) the obvious?

I was at that game - he was just sublime - on the same wavelength as Messi for sure.

No-one seems to have mentioned Gareth Southgate recently. What an amazing job the guy is doing! An average (at best) club manager, seemingly one of the 'suits' favoured by an out of date FA, he is really doing the absolute best. Bringing in young talent, being brave, playing adventurous teams with adventurous football. Who knows where it will all end with him at the helm?

If he was around today, he would be compared to Messi as one of the greatest. It seems his managerial career is blighted by outdated opinions and offensive comments which are completely out of order and deserves to be punished (NUFC should have taken action much, much earlier and are just as much to blame as Beardsley) but he was, without any doubt, one of the greatest of his generation and I was privileged to see him play and destroy opposition teams. The Beardsley shuffle? True genius, in his playing days. Not so good now.

Really good setr of questions! Some good answers too!

My thoughts exactly. FCB's track record is pretty consistent. In fact totally consistent. Sweet FA transfer budget, sweet Fa anything.

I just love this!!!!!!!!!!!!

That man just goes from great to amazing!!!!!!!!!! Such a gentleman, true hero to us all.....

Jees....wouldn't that be heaven? Scared to even think about it....

Agree. And also one of the least inspiring managers I've heard in a very long time....Can you imagine a half time motivational speech??? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Over to you Mike Bizarrely this might work in our favour. If Rafa is courted by the likes of Leicester - and others - then it might, just might, make the FCB wake up and do something to not lose him. Like give him total say, running, and budgets to make this club great again. And exponentially increase the value of the club. Or is that way too logical???

Boring, boring, boring. Time everyone just stopped reading or even believing in this. Do we honestly think Cashley will sell his cash cow?

Could it have been Ashley in drag???

This shows the lot! Some awesome early kits http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/Newcastle_United.htm

That guy is a hero! The programme should be aired on every TV and radio channel in the country. Repeatedly.
