I cant be arsed looking, but hasnt the wage bill increased by ~20 million a year under Ashley. It seems to be accepted wisdom that FFS was a useless businessman, and clueless with money. It seems to me that he understood that you had to grow turnover and generate income, and to my untrained eye actually seemed to this pretty succesfully. Plainly he got stuff badly wrong(Souness) and gambled unsucessfully(Owen, Luque) which had left us in a position that was far from ideal, but I have yet to be convinced we were seconds from administration. I would rather have his brand of failure than Ashleys brand of success for sure. And to be honest I think we would have fared better with administration, 10 point deduction and FS in charge than Ashleys moronic performance

Fuck the European Super League, NUFC are joining the Axis of Evil

Quite right. In fact when you think about it KK is actually the sensible choice

The media frenzy on this is going to be awsome

Not quite what I was hoping for

posting itt omg

Baby let me be your ever loving fan give me a drink I really love a bottle or a can bock bock bock bwaaaaaarck Its frothy man

You are what you eat That makes me a big fat cunt (my favourite chubby brown joke)

Don't you understand - We now have a DEADLINE

I loved that program

The Wire Twin Peaks The Sopranos Whatever happened to the Likely Lads Interceptor Highlander I am astonished nobody has mentioned Interceptor yet

Apocalypse Now The Philadelphia Story The Blues Brothers For no apparent reason I can see The Blues Brothers is showing today at the Cineworld in Brighton, so I will be watching that on the big screen again tonight Mrs Spongebob has watched The Chronicles of Riddick more times than any person alive

Second that. Nothing else makes sense. To paraphrase Sherlock H;"when all possibilities have been elimi­nated what remains, no matter how im­probable, must be the answer." I could have a guess at it......... gwaan then

I've got an increasing paranoia that there is some method to the seeming insanity, and things are going to get a whole lot worse.

Why not, worked a treat when Ozzie tried it.

*****uninformed speculation follows****** Are we actually reaching a point where Ashley would get more money by winding the club up and trying to get paid back some percentage of his "loans" to the club as a creditor?

As depressing as it is predictable. I reckon he thinks if he doesnt get the price he wants JFK will get us promoted and he wil be able to hold out for an even bigger wedge. I have real doubts he wants to sell at all. Its a nightmare fo shure

He will be unplayable.

Sad excuse for a post, especially from a moderator You're going to find it near impossible to take the piss back, its now July 17th and you still have no new owner, no manager in place, and a group of demoralized players on inflated wages who are eager to jump ship, and an alleged rumor (from nufc-forum.com) that you're going to go into administration in 9 days (not saying I 100% believe that). Your club is well and truly fucked in total if you think about it. You can sit and "laugh" at us for likely failing to sign Peter Crouch, but what you fail to realise is that at least we have the funds to aim for a player like him now and at least we can get him up to talk to you. Crouch is not a world class player, but he's about 10 times above your level now (not just by his height either). The type of player which about is your level now, is the type of player which we are eager to ship out of our team and move on from. By the time you return to the premiership (that's if you ever do), you will be on the wrong side of a large gulf in quality in comparison to us. That gulf acting on your behalf previously which has been the principal cause of you beating us several times such as the games in 1996, 2006, 2008, etc. Secondly city of sunderland isn't "nothing" as you seem to describe it as, of course its nothing compared to the bright lights of London and the south and isn't exactly amongst the "elite" of cities in the UK, and isn't quite as good as Newcastle (though that isn't the argument). For "nothing in its own right" it will have a world heritage site by 2010, a 7th century building where education and the rebirth of learning in england began. There is also a £180 million agreement in place to build the tallest building in the region which will also be bigger than anything Scotland. A new quality shopping centre will be joining this tower, then there's the Hilton Hotel to be built this year (something newcastle doesn't have for those who claim Gatesheads assets as their own). There's also money from the government into building the tallest bridge in the United Kingdom in Sunderland. Then HM Court services are funding a new court and law complex in the city centre (which was announced today). A nothing city also isn't tied with Washington D.C, Essen, nanjing and Harbin, is it? As for what it currently has, it also has the largest theatre venue in the Northeast, and the only one which can stage west end shows. It has a rapidly improving and expanding modern university, which yet another £75 million campus is almost completed along with new funds to recruit some of the finest software lecturers and professors in the country. Mowbray park was also voted "the best city park in Britain" last year, beating even Hyde park (much to my suprise though). You should also look at the regeneration they done in Sunniside, a new conference centre, an expensive new art and music facility, new apartments and the rejuvanted modern gardens. Plus there's the most important thing of all, a rapidly improving premier league football team Sunderland's economy has increased by 83% from 1995, which is far above the national average growth and is very impressive for a city which only gained status in 1992. Hardly "nothing" is it? Sunderland may be inferior to Newcastle but it isn't nothing in total. Due to a recent city status its never developed as much as the others, but it will eventually overtake them as it's heading in the right direction. Though its no suprise why a player would choose London over Sunderland, I think a player would choose London over any city though in the long run, and if sunderland is so close to this almighty city of "Newcastle" (which bare it in mind claims half of Gatesheads attractions as it's own), why can't the players just all enjoy the mights of this nearby newcastle instead and have no problem moving to Sunderland? FTM Its practically New York Monte Carlo and Las Vegas rolled into one

If anything is certain in this world it is that Owen will score a fuckton of goals and be injury free. The only surprise will be not drawing Manu in one of the cups and having the midget rattle three or four in against us

He hasn't walked out of the club, he's walked out of impossible situations. Not an impossible situation at all, hes walked on us the fans, and the club twice am not gonna go on too much about why hes walked out because, but the manner in which he left in and where he left the club has been disgraceful specially the second time. I see there is another member of the tufty club in town. plank

I think it would be fucking hilarious and brilliant if he came back. Jesus Christ it would be worth just to see this spacka explode I can sort of understand those idots who know nothing about football, less about Newcastle and spout tabloid gibberish as fact might think KK lasts less than a month in every job. You've got no excuse you craphound. I bet you think he bought his way out of the first division as well you ignorant wank When he was here as a player he was magnificent, going to the match was a joy. HIs first stint as manager lasting a pathetic 5 years gave me the best football I have ever seen, and his recent stint made me look forward to the games in a way I hadnt for years. I have every confidence he would get us playing get us promoted and make us proud again Shame its not going to happen
