Ameritoon Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Graves hosted a Carragher talk-in I went to and made a bunch of self-deprecating Newcastle jokes in front of a crowd of Liverpool fans. Annoyed me. Also he ignored me when he asked if there were any Newcastle fans in the crowd. Dick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 It's Ashley's fucking fault that relegation is such a distinct possibility, so frustrating that it's apparently delaying him flogging the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm assuming Ashley gets X amount up front, then Y amount dependant on what league we're in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 How can he expect it not to be in there? We're going to be in the bottom 3 with only 16 games left by the time any new owner gets a chance to strengthen the squad. We could even be bottom of the league by then 3 or 4 points adrift the way things are going. Then a couple more games could go by before they manage to get the right players. If he hadn't left us in such a state last transfer window we wouldn't have fucked up over half of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Where did the talk about us only being able to spend £30m for FFP come from yesterday anyway? I can't for one second believe that. So if we'd spent say £20m on a striker and a £10m keeper last summer, we'd not have been able to spend this January? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 We are as good as down if the relegation clause thing is true and if I were PCP I would be standing firm on that one. Ashley won't give in, he's way to stubborn. With every defeat the likelihood of a takeover becomes less and less, if this report is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came from here I think https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/nov/24/rafael-benitez-newcastle-united It is understood FFP regulations would permit Benítez to invest around £30m in January, although increased income would dictate that Newcastle could be free to spend considerably more next summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Surely with every defeat a takeover becomes more of a reality, in that Ashley would have to cut his losses or risk losing even more by holding out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we'd spent say £20m on a striker and a £10m keeper last summer, we'd not have been able to spend this January? I asked this question in this thread weeks ago as I saw an article stating £30 million, someone else posted this link: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/how-much-could-new-newcastle-13841929 where it seems to be around £70-80 million, but as others have said theres ways to spend much more if we have it, although that's getting a bit far ahead of ourselves at this point tbh.

Sean Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I said earlier but the one strange thing about the "breaking news" yesterday was that it wasn't 'a sale has been agreed' but 'a sale is close'.
