jdckelly Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 seriously what the hell is his actually plan or is it make it up as you go along, get a decent scouting system working with the ability to spot good players undervalued- sign players only as a last resort and then decide to fuck it up by putting JFK in charge of it. If his plan is to actually try and make money out of the club then he's in the wrong business because standing still in football is going backwards How's that like? The club is raking in an absolute fortune. because at best its short term, if the trend of buying no one continues we end up like we did last season flailing about near the bottom and desperation bids in jan which may not work again. And once your out of the prem that raking in a fortune turns into costing him a fortune Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Out of all cups, in pretty much the perfect position in the league and now a massive profit again in transfer fees. f***ing class season for this man. Worse still, i dont think this c*** wants to sell any time soon. Why would he want to sell an asset that is making him huge profits and giving him a free worldwide advertising platform? I know that like, it's the no light at the end of tunnel that's just horrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Net spend on transfers since taking over NUFC: -/- GBP 38.000.000 Guess who wins again indeed. That's based on getting how much for Cabaye, by the way? 19m Fees taken from here since the start of the 2007/2008 season: http://www.transferleague.co.uk/premiership-transfers/newcastle-united-transfers.html Ta.

Nobody Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 A 20 million profit on transfer fees, a 60 million TV revenue windfall and improved profitability from our catering and retail activities. We're going to post an absolute monster profit this season. Ashley is really showing all these Arab and Russian club owners how it's done.. Wonga deal was according to them (not that I trust the cunts) much better than the Northern Rock/Virgin Money one as well, wasn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could charge fans £50 more each ST and make almost £2m more if he wants to. Sure that will get the signings rolling in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Wow, this paragraph really rung a bell: That’s not to belittle the work done by Graham Carr, some of his finds have been better than we could have hoped, given the prices paid, but it’s in having found the very best that your budget can stretch to that you must then stretch your budget further if you’re to make any further strides. Failure to do so will disillusion those players that arrived cheap and can go on to bigger and better things. Worse though, it will disillusion the remaining fans that had bought in to the improvements, despite the off-field fuck-ups. Those players using us as a stepping stone can move on. We cannot.
