If we finish out of the top ten, we don't have to pay out any bonuses. Why exactly would this annoy Ashley? :lol:

 

Hah yeah I thought about that but then why even offer the bonus for 10th if he doesn't want that finish as a minimum requirement.

 

It's an incentive. If we're top half we're not going down, ergo he doesn't have to spend any money on the squad.

 

I suppose, but what's the difference now in TV money per place?, bonus likely pays for itself.

 

Was £755k last year, will probably be closer to £1.2m this time around. Our wage bill is around £60m, so it depends what the bonus is based on.

 

Either way I don't think he'll be crying if we finish 11th.

Was it not £2m shared around the whole club when it was in the press pre-Alan Smith at HT.

Isn't Koeman shit? Remember his spell at Valencia where the players reportedly decided to play "their own way" in order to win Copa del Rey and not let him ruin their chances of winning the title.

 

He almost relegated them.  :lol:

Snotgrass.

NEWCASTLE United could turn to Robert Snodgrass this summer – with the club looking to buy British.

 

The Norwich City winger has just over a year left on his contract.

 

 

And the Gazette understands Snodgrass is a player who is interesting Newcastle.

 

The 26-year-old Glaswegian, strongly linked with a move to Celtic in January, is expected to leave Carrow Road in the summer after two years at the club.

 

United manager Alan Pardew, under intense pressure after a club-record run of six successive Premier League defeats, has already held transfer talks with owner Mike Ashley, managing director Lee Charnley and chief scout Graham Carr.

 

Pardew is keen for Newcastle, which has delved heavily into the French market in recent seasons, to sign more British talent.

 

The 52-year-old is a long-time admirer of Swansea City’s Jonjo Shelvey, who he handed his debut while manager of Charlton Athletic.

 

And Sunderland’s Tyneside-born midfielder Jack Colback, available on a free transfer, is another option.

 

While Pardew’s primary focus is United’s remaining two games, work is ongoing behind the scenes ahead of an anticipated summer of outgoings and incomings.

 

With the futures of wide men Hatem Ben Arfa, Sylvain Marveaux, Jonas Gutierrez and Gabriel Obertan seemingly lying away from St James’s Park, Snodgrass is under consideration.

 

“Recruitment is obviously very important for next year,” Pardew told the Gazette.

 

“Our fans need to know we’re working hard on that. I can’t take my eye off that – I wouldn’t be doing the job if I did.

 

“But I know our fans are desperate for a result, and that’s been my main focus.”

 

Snodgrass joined Norwich from Championship club Leeds United, where he had been captain.

 

The Scotland international was involved in a confrontation with a number of home fans during Newcastle’s goalless draw at Norwich in January.

 

Snodgrass later apologised to the club’s supporters.

 

Gutierrez, meanwhile, is on a half-season loan at Norwich, but the odds of him making a permanent move to Carrow Road seemingly receded after former United manager Chris Hughton was dismissed by the club early this month.

This supposed "Buy British" policy worries me far more than the French one did.

 

After the Palace home game I was chatting to someone about how shite the game was/Pardew is awful etc . He said, 'nah, there's too many French players in the team'.

 

There was three that day.

Agree with what's being said about our buying policy, i'll just add i think Snodgrass is quite a good player from what i've seen of him. Good delivery at set penises too.

so it looks like were grabbing all the cheapo brits from the relegation teams!!  :( yeh i'm sure thats going to work well next season  :idiot2:

 

Isn't that the approach the Mackems took a few years ago and we laughed at them. If some of these were just squad players and not first teamers I wouldn't have much of a problem but you know they will start 80% of games in our relegation season

I don't mind players like Shelvey, Snodgrass and Colback forming a solid underbelly as part of a squad. Rotated to rest the better players or in case of injuries and suspensions. NOT in place of Cabaye and Ben Arfa though.

 

i should also add, NOT with Al Pards in charge.
