Happy Face Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 He spent 200m and he has an asset worth at least 200m. Not exactly the Rowntree foundation. Aye, he's put the money where it makes business sense. Drastic missing of point. If we go down, he wasted all of that money as the value of the club will drop enormously. Not as much as it would have with £70M of debt secured on season ticket sales that aren't taken up. Requiring further borrowing to finance the debt.

Dokko Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 A club that was in the relegation places all season changed the squad to fight for survival, but didn't jeopardise financial stability, by doing so on the cheap....they remained in net credit. Newcastle have spent half the season in the top half, but started to slide when the expensive set of international players they already have lost faith in the (then) manager. Completely different scenarios. Closer than throwing Leeds into the ring surely? Leeds were trying to sign players to 'live the dream' Pomnpy signed to survive, we should have done the same. Its not as different as you are trying to make out, and i still cannot see how they remained in credit, you only added the cost of Benjani. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're talking gibberish Not investing in the playing staff INCREASES the chances of reduced season ticket sales as it INCREASES the risk of relegation.

No players in mid who can run with the ball, or shoot, or even fuking pass, you think someone who can do that, coming to a new club and wanting to prove a point might just help in tight games like that. In the games you mentioned there's simply nothing we could have done, and you know it. A whole new team would be needed, and that can be done nexct summer, but right now we need to win the winnable games, a few changes in player personal would have got us closer to doing that. Who screams to join a club? You are simply talking out of your arse now. Player A wants to join NUFC so he shouts from the rooftops he want the move. It doesn't happen, where does that leave him? Jesus fuking wept man, have a word with yourself. As for the name calling, give it a rest, fukwit, numb-nuts, if that's what you have to resort to then you really are, well, i'm not going down that road, no need.

Happy Face Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 A club that was in the relegation places all season changed the squad to fight for survival, but didn't jeopardise financial stability, by doing so on the cheap....they remained in net credit. Newcastle have spent half the season in the top half, but started to slide when the expensive set of international players they already have lost faith in the (then) manager. Completely different scenarios. what financial stability like? he owns the club, has paid the debt off and spent little of the oodles of cash every club gets by virtue of being in the PL these days lets say we spent 20m in jan and went down, i doubt it'd make ashley walk away therefore all we'd have done would be to give it a shot...as it is we've left oourselves open to accusations of inactivity in the face of the inevitable, which is far worse the fact is 20m on the right players would have virtually guaranteed us staying up christs sake Your damn right "christs sake". Did you not see Keegan chasing players? Did you not read about Woodgate rejecting us? f****** hell, maybe you think he should have paid £10M apiece for Bernard and Srnicek just so he could say he spent something on someone. f****** spoilt brats man. Again with extreme scenario's, pathetic really. Aye. With Barnes in the team we'd have got some points out of Man U, Arsenal and Villa though. Jesus Wept. We'll do a Leeds. We'd put the club in financial jeopardy. It would be like FS. We can only sign panic buys. Were spoilt for wanting new players to avoid relegation or the battle. You must want to sign £10m Bernard just so we have someone Ever decreasing time for KK to sign players. Actually half a window, but it gets smaller in Happy's world. Honestly, its all just bullshit really. As for Barnes, why not say he could have made a difference in the Bolton, Boro or Blackburn games? Why? Coz happy's on a mission to pick out the worst case scenarios to back up his point of view. Because we played well in those games numb-nuts. You're saying we needed to sign people to lift the squad in the games where they're s***. Who else was screaming come and get me apart from Barnes then? jesus no-one screams come and get me do they? there's such a thing as making a deal happen...if we'd signed a similar manager to ramos or mourinho they'd have had a list of players as long as your arm who we could sign that would improve our team immediately, of that i have no doubt we signed keegan, our inactivity in the market speaks for itself Mourinho? Are you for fuckin real? Or do you spend your days outside the club shop waiting for SSN to come along? Ramos did well to win the cup. Done nowt in the league.
