James Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Everyone is pretty close now, so I may as well say: According to Alan Shearer's autobiography, the agreed deal was £7.5m paid initially £8.1m paid six months later. Newcastle pay the VAT bills. Therefore, the figure paid by Newcastle in July 1996 was approx: £8.8125m And the final amount spent was £18.33m as stated by Greg.

pedro111 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 VAT was added, i have the invoice framed at home £17,625,000 http://i7.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/1b/81/a6d5_1.JPG My mate has that as well, stole it off the wall of a pub, took the frame down with a screwdriver and replaced it with one of their own flyers, tried to ring him to get the answer earlier but he was at work and couldn't remember the exact figure. Got that in a bigger picture so we can actually read it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KeithKettleborough Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Has anyone any idea what Jack Walker was wanting Man U to pay for Shearer. Don't know to be honest just heard in some tv documentary that it was a lot more than what we paid and was wondering how much he wanted off them.

Don't know to be honest just heard in some tv documentary that it was a lot more than what we paid and was wondering how much he wanted off them. According to Shearer's book, Walker told Shearer that his price was £15m and Shearer had to choose the club he wanted to go to and let Blackburn know. Shearer chose us, so then NUFC negotiated the fee. No bid was ever made by Manyoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
