geordiedean Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It's just the thought that for merely clapping the fans, a tit like Neymar gets paid the sort of money millions and millions of people work a lifetime for in order to buy a house. It's not necessarily a dig at Neymar, it's just a dig at life! ('Life is a beauty' is my saying! ) A lot of these people have completely lost touch with reality money wise. Neymar gets an extra 80k a week just for applauding fans that pay to watch him and Floyd Mayweather pays 18M for a watch......Absolute madness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Neymar gets paid £4.2 Million a year extra if he claps the fans after the game. Is that entirely true? It could be that he loses 80k if he doesn't applaud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that he loses 80k if he doesn't applaud. It's how it's reported in Football Leaks. It's a bonus he gets for applauding fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I find the stick Man City and their fans get from our fans odd, tbh. Before their takeover and Robinho I always considered them a similar sort of club to us. We rarely sold out our Champions League games from what I remember yetvthis seems a stick that people seem to beat these up about. Naturally when you become more successful and accustomed to the CL or Wembley finals etc, some of the magic will wane. It’s hardly a rich part of the country and costs will come into play. If Newcastle ever became successful long term it’d likely be due to a City or Chelsea style takeover and crazy spending. I’d be surprised if crowds etc would be too dissimilar. Only difference is we’d likeky still sell out all league tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I doubt it. If Liverpool can max out Anfield, Newcastle could get the same number at least in SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference is we’d likeky still sell out all league tickets. From what I remember Champions League games were sold out the first season 97/98 before the ground expansion. Second time around 02/03 when the ground was 52,000 there were empty seats. Midweek games very rarely sell out it seems, regardless of competition or opposition. There's logical explanations for that I guess. The surprise with Man City for me is the empty seats at their weekend Premier League games, that's whether they are set to win the league or the reigning champions. Not sure why they felt they had to up their capacity a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penis waving probably, a max capacity figure is something else to crow about and if rivals are increasing then they will too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 If you speak to Man City fans from before they got rich then they are often honest that their supporter base is somewhere between to 30k-40k mark. The owners will have upped the capacity in the anticipation that Man Utd will continue to stagnate and they can become the most successful club in the North, and then the kids in Manchester and glory hunters will jump on board.
