Ive got a ticket for tomorow and will be at the stadium of sh*te willing the lads on regardless of MA not spending cos i support the lads on the pitch not the in the boardroom Lets all get behind the players and show them we there for them and we REALLY want them to whallop the SMBs

Prob the most truthful thing said on here in a longtime we don't run the club all we can do to help is get behind the players tmrw and be the 12th man

This shows why all the people calling for boycotts are utter morons

Too right lads doesnt matter what our beef is with the t**ts upstairs. We cant not let the lads down who are on the pitch

So Pardew has put his foot in it again, over the Elliott fiasco. He is making himself and the club look foolish.

He's not the 1 making the club look foolish.

ed could you tell me if lovenkrands is in Newcastle plans and if not how much routhley would he cost cheers ed

{Ed042's Note - He is a good lad, players and staff like him but hes no more than back up, if we could offload him we would, valued at around 1 - 1.5m}

Ed you heard owt bowt this bloke, Mohamed Salah, apparant interest from us

{Ed042's Note - Just what everyone else has read mate, player claimed we are about to make an offer for him, club have not confirmed it though so could be just scouting and interest, wouldnt expect to hear anything more on it until after the mackem game, maybe Monday}

Bored at work so a thought id do summit interesting. Im not criticing what Ashley is doing as I agree with him in regards to reducing the wage bill and also the age of the squad, but ive done a bit of research and pulled some figures together.

Income:
Carrol Sale-35 Mil
Nolan Sale -4 Mil (est)
Enrique Sale -6 Mil (est)
Routledge Sale -2 Mil
Matchday sales-Based on average attendance(49,000) and lowest match ticket price (£26) -£25.5 Mil
Media Income-42 Mil-This is based on two years ago and does not taker into account this years TV income rise
Shope and Sponsorship as of two years ago- 30 Mil- we have since had a new shirt released and also a new sponor.

Expenditure:
Cabeye-4.5 Mil
Obertan- 3 Mil

Wages based two years ago-bear in mind we have since got rid of most big earners ie owen viduka martins nolan list goes on so very likely to have reduced.


Income 144.5 Expenditures 77.5
Total Income 67 Mil

Fair Enough other expenditure such as bills and agent fees are not listed but surely it can cost 67 mil, again income is most likely to be higher due to the reason i have stated. Two players at 7 mil each aint gunna dent the fact that Ashley is still makin a profit.

Business man mate, he is making your club stable and making a profit

Youve made more money than any other team in Europe according to the media. But look on the bright side, if you stake £3.46 on Sessegnon to score first tomorrow at least it will pay for one home game ticket. One in the eye for Ashely mate.

I knw hes a business man and as i said i dont have a problem with what hes doing, but surely from any business mans point of view (doesnt matter if hes plannin on making it into a profitable business or planning to sell on) the better the team performs the more money your goin to get from 1) increased money based on perfomance we got around 7 mill for 12th pos 2) increased media sales from better coverage 3)increased gate revenue from increased attendace 4)increased sponsorship deals the list is endless. Im not asking him to blow a rubbish load of money on someone lyk we used to do or even doin a man city and buyin a rubbish load of new players. im just sayin spend money in the places everyone can identify as a serious problem within the teams perfomance. Look at arsenal...they have not bought the players they require to play at the level they shud have and as a results they have dropped in performance

I disagree bout what what your saying about man city (this season so far anyway) they have bought very very good players for decent fees. Whereas liverpool have spent 100m on the most mediocre players to grace PL football. Many are overrated and not one is special.

I only used man city as an example also didnt say rubbish in original message was actual a swear word used to exagerate the quantity of players they have purchased...but yes agree with you on the liverpool point

Be interested to know if anyone here thinks we'll make a signing today and if so would they be elligable to play against the mackems tomorrow? I think we all agree we need a LB and at least 1 if not ideally 2 new strikers.

I'm still confident we'll get a win tomorrow. Let's keep positive and get behind the team, even if you don't agree with the way MA runs our club.

Pete

They would have been if they were signed before 12 but it's too late now so were stuck with wat we got I'm afraid
