If I said how I know, it would lead people to the source of the info as is widely available. The figure I've got from this reliable source, is rounded to about the nearest £100k, and is not £14m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 £0 Wasn't he signed right at the end of July? Probably. Ask a stupid question get a stupid answer though. I assumed it was something to do with staged payments though rather than it all being paid upfront the day he signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right in that staged payments are part of the question, however only part, as the actual sum Newcastle paid was over £1m away from the quoted £15m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
