Kevin Keegan!" and then ran off to the next classroom His third coming was pretty close too, although marred in hindsight. I was working at County Hall at Morpeth at the time. The news went around the place like wildfire, with not much work going on. Even the gaffers had a semi-on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Staveley's words https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/newcastle-takeover-sportswashing-isnt-buying-a-club-in-relegation-zone-says-amanda-staveley-w0znjjtkg When some of those violations are against women, how does a British woman get past that to work with the Saudis in the first place? “I get the question a lot,” she said. “Well I’m a woman running a football club, which is a pretty brave thing to do for a supposedly misogynistic society. I just wouldn’t be in the job if that was the case. “I’ve had so much support from the PIF. You can’t imagine the fight we’ve had to get to here today. I’m just really honoured and proud to work with them.” Is this not simply sportwashing? “Absolutely not,” she said. “If that was the intention we would have bought a major franchise in the US; not a football club currently sitting in the relegation zone in the Premier League. This is about business investment and doing something special with a fantastic football club with the best fans in the world.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) An entire city literally partying at the news that you're fucking off.

Want my dad to see us win a trophy too, he was resigned to thinking he'll probably die before seeing us win something last week. Yeah - that would be a great experience for me to share with my dad, too. He was at the Fairs Cup Final in 69, but to have gone that long without something major is heart-breaking. My old man is 74, so hopefully the next 5 or 6 years...... even a League Cup would do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not au fait with the FFP rules etc, but even if infrastructure was included, then it's only the depreciation element that goes through P&L. So if you build a new training ground for 50m (totally made up), you could say that has a life of 25 years so you only recognise depreciation of 2m a year anyway. As I say, no idea what FPP monitors though! Edited October 8, 2021 by Hhtoon I believe James so this was a pointless accountancy lesson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me nervous admittedly. I seem to have a vague recollection of our previous owner (forget the name) doing something rather similar shortly after he arrived, and things going a bit south.
