I think we can skip the detailed analysis of our spending over time and just conclude that Pardew talks nonsense quite a lot of the time.

 

If he speaks publicy then he can expect scrutiny. Hardly out of order for anyone to do just that. Shame journalist's don't call him out on it at the time.

The guy is laughable. Spent the entire window saying we need players and when Ashley and JFK don't deliver he backtracks. He probably couldn't believe his luck when he got the job and has been played like a puppet from day 1 and stillshows no sign of tactical aptitude or a backbone to speak out and criticise the board. Fucking coward.

Yeah, sure. TBF usually he's just waffling, but obviously when he mentions specific figures he's not helping himself if they're wrong.

 

I think the "he said we needed players, now he says we have a good squad" criticism is bollocks though. Every manager does that, and has to.

at the last Fansutd meeting Lee Marshall also gave that £30m figure,  said for the calender year NUFC had spent £30m on transfer and agent fees.  Ignore the incoming money as the club aren't mentioning that in the same way SSN were saying Spurs were the biggest spenders in the last window but ignored all the money they got back in for Bale.

 

iirc some of those fees were down as undisc so can only presume we paid more than the quoted £1.2m etc for the likes of Gouffran.  have we possibly paid £1m for one of the kids like Maboo?

This covers the period from after the end of the accounting year (31/6/12) to the date the accounts were signed off (6/2/13), which actually covers all the players signed in the Summer of 2012 and in January this year. So the following players cost a total of £27.3m (including agents fees):

 

Summer 2012: Amalfitano, Bigirimana, Good, Anita

Jan 2013: Debuchy, Yanga-Mbwia, Gouffran, Haidara, Sissoko, Mbabu

From values taken from transferleague.co.uk (they seem accurate from what I can recall)

 

Debuchy £5.5m

Yanga-Mbiwa £6.7m

Haidara £2m

Sissoko £2.5m

Gouffran £1.2m

 

Total of £17.9m and we also sold Ba for £7m...

 

Where did he even get £30m from? Why don't journos pull him up on his figures? f***ing hate Pardew.

 

We always add the cost of the wages to the fee since this regime came in. Although they seem to forget that matchday income probably covers a fair bit of that.

 

And also conveniently ignore the wages of players that leave in their calculations

 

That's what pisses me off, that they only do the maths one way. Such a con.

 

But even without that: £30m my arse, that's nothing but an outright, massive, lie. Must think we all spend every day drinking like Kinnear if he reckons that's believable.

It's as though this thread copies and pastes itself every dozen pages or so, but like the two chimps above him the mong is still here.

 

Can't be arsed reading about Pardew any more, tbh. Same shit different season.

I'm considering being offended by that quote. I know all managers talk about overdrafts, so that's fine. Can I enquire as the tone of voice in which the words were spoken? Then I can make an informed decision,

 

Just shut up and be offended. What kind of Newcastle fan are you?

:lol: Pardew talks a lot of waffle and we really shouldn't hold anything he says up to scrutiny. That's the latest angle.

Round it up the nearest £10m and ignore outgoings obviously. Makes you sound better. Thank you Fat Mike, you da best.

"Hopefully there will be some more good news coming out of it shortly."

 

Wonder what he means by that comment.

Sorry, but

 

We haven't got the finances of a big team

 

I can't take that. I just can't.

 

20th richest club in the world iirc. 3rd largest crowds in the PL. But for some completely fucked up reason you say we can't compete with the big clubs. And since not a single one of us expects to compete financially with Man City and Chelsea, I can only assume that by "big" clubs you mean the likes of Southampton, Fulham and fucking Norwich.

 

Just fuck off you cowardly, lying cockend. We all know that we could compete with them easily if we wanted, we're just owned by a thief who is creaming money out of the club and into his horrid, tatty, charva clothes shop.

Aye, we are the 20th 'most valuable' club apparently. But to put it in perspective we are more than 10 times less valuable than Man Utd.

 

The problem is that in each league the success, CL qualification and money is stacked so heavily towards the top 2 or 3.

 

Value is quite an interesting stat to use really, not sure I fully understand what it means we 'should' be able to do.

Pardew is concerned that the negative response to the lack of summer imports may impact on his team's performances. "I hope it doesn't affect us," he said. "The fans' reaction has been the kind of reaction we have here, which is extreme. We have extreme reactions to our football club. It's so personal here. But when the fans see how we play over the next eight games – providing we keep everybody fit – I think they will feel a lot better than they did on transfer deadline day."

 

Well we patently won't keep everybody fucking fit, will we.

 

But anyway:

 

Aston Villa (a)

Hull (h)

Leeds (h)

Everton (a)

Cardiff (a)

Liverpool (h)

Sunderland (a)

Chelsea (h)
