Guest neesy111 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 f***s sake people I could go on and post a picture of a storm in a cup, a doctor hitting a patient on his knee and so on. I won't. READ what Stifler has written in here. That's all. No offence to Stifler but.... sorry I can't finish that without offending him. As said, the statement is just f***ing stupid. It's obvious it will be taken negatively so why even bother releasing it. There is no way you can dress this up to look good. The alternative of course was a full summer of being linked with players then getting to September wondering why we've spent little/nothing. At least we know from the off what the state of play is. Which isn't going to help the sale of season tickets meaning less money coming in to get us breaking even. we'll easily make a profit next season if we spend no money, an extra 30m-40M will be coming in from tv and sponsorship We won't. we will hard to see considering theres a 20m overdraft to pay off that overdraft is only payable when bank decides to or when it's due to arrangement with barclays And has nothing to do with us making a profit. The cost of the interest in servicing it does though. I said OPERATING PROFIT!!!! it's interest free, barclays offer it to all premiership clubs A quick look at the top of the page says you didn't like. In any case, I was correcting the post above yours talking about the overdraft contributung to a loss, which it wouldn't. the clubs income to expendature will account for operating profit, where that money goes is debateable! overdraft would just account for liability, i would like to see our assets to liabilities ratio it won't be pleasant reading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Thank f*** we got promoted. That statement reads like a club after relegation and without a pot to piss in. Looks like he's going to be stuffing quite a stash of Sky money in his back pocket. Ah, was surprised this took as many pages as it did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 If we don't invest in the squad this season we might well go down again. This sort of statement will more than likely affect the morale at the club when it's been laid out that our only ambition is to balance the books.

Happy Face Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Good positive statement. Let the manager and players deal with getting results on the pitch, invest in the academy, and see the club stabilised and ready to move forward within a reasonable time frame. You're a card.

Unbelievable Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I liked our last "five year plan" far more Derek.. Whatever happened to our "challenging for everything" plan from last year?

Happy Face Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 By telling other clubs we are not spending, it will hopefully mean we are not held to ransom in the market.

quayside Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 The statement reminds me of when Gerald Ratner pissed off all of his customers, our PR is s***. It's beyond that tbh. The numbers quoted are probably about right but it's like Ashley believes his previous PR disasters at Sports Direct and NUFC are the way to get the job done. Absolutely f*cking clueless....

Wallace Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 By having a go at the press by saying they will not speak to them under any circumstances because they say the club is constantly mis-reported is just inviting more criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 How did we get to this financially? Through the relegation? Recession? Two years ago we bid £16m for Luka Modric by this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 .com's take A truly bizarre statement that seems to be a vague and clumsy attempt to lower expectations ahead of the new season. No "new capital outlay on players" means what precisely? Are we really expecting to survive in the Premier League with the current squad plus some youngsters from the Academy? "Promoting Regional football" by elevating youngsters from the Academy (which is apparently "brimming with talent") to "truly represent the values of the Geordie nation" will be interesting. Academy talent given squad numbers in the 2009/10 season included only a few locally-born players with most bought in from outside the region. Even the U18s squad that reached the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup was mostly made up of non-North Easterners. The Board will not be commenting on anything from now on. So what's changed there then? All we've had is sporadic, bewildering and unhelpful utterances like the above. We presume (and hope) that the cosy emails from our owner to Sky reporters will also stop now....

Happy Face Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 There was a bit of a growing voice that Ashley was slowly but surely winning the fans over. I'd hoped it might keep going that way and had dialled back on the anti-ashley stuff myself. Perfect reminder what an utter twunt the bloke is and always will be.

Wallace Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Has the Academy really improved that much? They seem to have a lot of faith in it but how many of the youngsters are really going to be Premiership level? We always seem reluctant to play the kids anyway and it will be harder to introduce them into a constantly struggling team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
