Yorkie Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 How do the figures tally up with Ashley's comments about the pot being dry, then? Bullshit surely. As if I'm surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 How do the figures tally up with Ashley's comments about the pot being dry, then? Bullshit surely. As if I'm surprised. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20160406/united-confirm-201415-financial-results_2281670_5474983 During the year ended 30th June, 2015, Newcastle United generated a profit after tax of £32.4million (2014: £18.7million) and a net cash inflow from operating activities of £39.1million (2014: £32.9million). Of the £39.1million cash generated, £23.8million was spent during the financial year on the playing squad (net of disposals). The remainder (which formed part of our cash balance at 30th June, 2015, of £48.3million) has been spent (or has been contracted to spend) in full since 1st July, 2015. In total, the summer 2015 and January 2016 transfer windows have seen a net spend on the playing squad of just under £80million, and a significant increase in the Club's annual wage bill.

Guest dabe Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Wasn't it Soccernomics, amongst others, who broadly correlate success and league position with wage bill? If so, is it any wonder we're rapidly disintegrating as a competitive entity while someone like Stoke continue to improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't those two points contradictory? Are suppose it means you pay higher wages for superior quality and relative to the quality of our current squad the figures are skewed as they are not worthy of the wages they are paid anyway.

MickMack Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Did he not do the whole investigation thing when we went down last time? Waited till just before the season in the championship started, kept us and Shearer waiting for weeks fot a decision on the manager situation?

NG32 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 He's had 9 years and still fails. The bloke decided 9 years ago to not listen to experienced football people like Allardyce, KK or Shearer and...All this mess is his. The people who he has surrounded himself with for football advice is an absolute shocker. The only thing I can think of is Allardyce, KK and Shearer told him stuff he didn't want to hear, so he moved them on, one way or another. Hired people who would do as they are told but its ultimately cost him one relegation with another on the way. He has to look at himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
