What’s the average birth rate for footballer’s wives at the top level? Must be really high surely as these houses only make sense if you’ve got a geet massive family

He’s irreplaceable as a player, he is irreplaceable as a character most of all. We love him me and you. Don’t think I’ve liked a player as much since HBA. His personality just takes it to the next level.

Realising that's a massively smaller percentage of his pay than mine is to my mortgage :anguish:

He currently rents the one in front, so would make sense…

 

Gordon just bought one for £3m on Moor Lane as well. 

Just released that I did work on both of them.

Don’t like that

When Guimaraes signed his new five-year contract at St James’ Park, a release clause was included, which is quite rare for Newcastle. But 90min understands there is also a verbal agreement in place that Guimaraes will be allowed to talk to Champions League clubs, and that offers below his release clause will be engaged with providing they exceed £80m.

Paying much attention to this kind of chat gives no benefit whatsoever. The club probably has made a gentlemen's agreement with Bruno, because we're (apparently) run by gentlemen and Bruno's a gentleman. He probably doesn't want to feel trapped here and is more likely to want to voluntarily stay if we don't set ourselves up to look like a prison which would hang his career out to dry even if we're finishing bottom half. All the same it doesn't mean any particular outcome is inevitable.

 

On a separate note - and I hope this warning never ends up being necessary - people would be wise to remember our club has a rich history of anonymously trashing a player's character when it wants to sell them but doesn't want to be held responsible by the fans for their departure. "Greedy cunts" etc. Don't let yourselves be taken for mugs, think about who benefits from stories.

This club, but not this regime (so far).

Yeah totally, and I'm optimistic. Just, we've not really seen them in that kind of dilemma yet. Most of the original talk was about how the club needs to sell to finance other signings, so it's just interesting how lately the conversation has moved on to release clauses and 'can we keep him happy here?'.

 

Like I said, hopefully what I was saying ends up being totally irrelevant, but it's always worth keeping in mind.

Well they've never been one to sell their major assets in any venture. Also this club bluffs a lot these days, so saying we need to sell to buy could just be a negotiating tactic.

PIF you mean? To be fair, they've never worked in an industry with weirdly corrupt, profit limiting rules before where they're not the ones rigging the rules.

 

To be clear, I'm not saying they're up to some Mike Ashley-style smash and grab to earn a few quid. But I could imagine them taking the view FFP means we need to move Bruno on, but also thinking the fans are too thick to understand that decision, and concluding they need to implement some preventative PR crisis management in advance.
