Liam Liam Liam O Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 IIRC correctly didnt the bank take possession of the stadium and training ground at some point? Eh?? Have you not been down Barrack Road, the stadium is gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malandro Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 IIRC correctly didn’t the bank take possession of the stadium and training ground at some point? Eh?? “On 30 June last year, Newcastle's balance sheet showed their overdraft at Barclays Bank had leapt from less than £13m in 2008 to a whopping £47.87m by the end of their 2008-09 relegation season. Few lenders would be prepared to sustain this level of unsecured exposure to a Championship club and it appears Barclays took steps to reduce it. The following day, 1 July, a mortgage was registered assigning St James' Park, the club's training ground and academy centre to the bank, as well as all their intellectual property such as brand names and even Newcastle's "trade secrets", whatever they may be.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/02/newcastle-debt-banks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Assuming it wasn’t written by somebody else and he just put his name to it. The figures don’t make a lot of sense. The overdraft was £20m? Ashley had to put in £25m last year to cover operating losses. An extra £30m for promotion means were running at loss of £15m before a ball has been kicked, then we spend £13m in the summer...does this mean Ashley has lent the club another £23m. Bringing the amount of money the club owes him to £159m! I think it worth noting that (according to this blx article) Ashley chose to lend the club his own money to buy players rather than use his own money to pay off (some or all) of the overdraft. I can see no reason he’d chose the former unless he’s expecting to get this money back. IIRC correctly didn’t the bank take possession of the stadium and training ground at some point? Still can't decide who I think is best, you or UV. UV is class at this sh1t Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had years of people pontificating about how the club couldn’t keep on borrowing money. Yet that’s exactly what the club has been doing since Mr Ashley took over (the debt has now near enough doubled) and for some strange reason they’ve all gone very quiet on the subject.

We'd be a bit fucked if we didn't. At least this time we have an owner who apparently has funds to put his own money in interest free rather than be beholden solely to the banks.

quayside Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Pissed off tbh. Tonights match was a blatantly cynical attempt to recreate the Keegan "entertainers" years and we get through another round in the Carling Cup - that's more money going in the fat koont's pocket.
