Park Life

Doesn't play as a winger for ManU anymore he plays as a withdrawn roaming forward.

Letting int passengers and local traffic mix in one terminal (to increase the shop profits) is the core of the fuck up...

Massive result for us.

I know what you're saying and yes it is grounded in reality and it is harder for us to attract top tier players atm for various reasons. But we have a lot going for us as well. Ashley is a billionaire with a big ego, we are a big club and KK is inspirational and has a much higher chance of signing unexpected names if he is given the money. IMO we are the type of club and there probably are only 5/6 in the PL who can really transform themselves. Just my opinion like.

VP misses from 10 yards and smiles the silly cunt!

What makes you think 'really good players' would choose to come to us anyway? Blows the argument out the water imo I bet you're rubbing you're hands in glee now. Talk about defeatism. You talk like no-one outside the top four has managed to get hold of good players.

It would me massive for us if they scraped a draw out of this.

I'm not worried. According to KK our squad has a lot of quality. Sometimes I think his belief alone might keep us up. God bless him.

This is the most significant one for me. Gives them hope and their fix aren't too bad.

I'm not surprised by B'ham results at this point tbh, they have become a side that will get results and have some pace and power.

We can't imagine the other shit sides to carry on losing. We're still going to have to win at least 2 more games imho and a couple of draws.

If you had you'd probably be moaning along the lines of "Talk is cheap", "Actions speak louder than words" etc. KK is already talking down the summer spend.

Really good players that change a sides profile cost real money. I haven't heard or seen anything from the new board thus far that makes me believe that players of this kind will arrive anytime soon. Hope I'm wrong clearly.

IE 7 is faster than firefox and in tests Safari is 20% faster than that. The next release of Safari (I think there is a beta somewhere) will be even faster. Stabiltiy wise my Safari has shut itself down about twice in a year. IE7 only gets any speed due to the 10 children that are sacrificed every hours at MS HQ. I'm fairly sure FF release will be better. Never tried Safari though. I hate watching IE load sites. With Safari I've just got used to the site 'flipping' in place.

After poo pooing it I'm a fully paid up Lost obsessive. Great concept and a well layered script.

Nice.

Nothing can touch it basically.

Not sure what 'options' exist after a takeover or why a debt repayment trigger is surprising when the owner of the debt changes. Apart from that you've already captured my thoughts on this matter. You have a way of making it sound more technical. You mean because he actually knows what he is on about. That as well.

Maybe the 'transfer policy' he has adopted in the two transfer windows is down to the £100 million of debt he's had to pay off to stop the club from folding because of your good mate Freddy This idea that a business like Newcastle (with a virtual monopoly and catchment area) along with massive gates regardless of performance had any chance of 'folding' I find spurious and the kind of 'spin' Mort has been putting out since he arrived. The millions pouring into the PL virtually secures all PL club businesses for a considerable period. Many top flight clubs carry proportionate to income high debt ratios. It's not really about profitability either as there aren't many PL clubs that habitually make a profit. That said I am of the opinion the debt did need looking at but I find the melodrama surrounding it unnecessary. Not actually England, but Dortmund who are in many aspects very comparable to Newcastle had one foot in the grave because of their overambition. Of course it is difficult for a club or a business of the size of Newcastle with it's income to fold, but it's not impossible. I got told that KPMG had serious reservations about the balance sheets in recent years and it wasn't that easy to make them look (sort of) healthy. In the end the fate is down to the creditors and their securisation. As I understand it the likes of Schechter had options to cash in after the take over which would have fundamentally affected the resources of the club, which they seemed to consider to make use of. This was avoided by Ashley paying off the debt from his personal assets. You may call Mort's comments a drama, but I don't think they were technically a lie. They certainly aren't worse than the attempts to blandish the increasingly worrying financial state of the club in the form of lalaing. Out of interest what kind of TV money do top tier German clubs get?

This thread needs Chex Given immediately.

So what's your take on all of this then? The club has never been in any real danger.

That is high for a club that size. Especially one about to get relegated. For them this is a really bad time to get relegated for sure. They'll need to sell the whole team more or less to get some cash back in and reduce wages and they're going to need that parachute payment badly. Al-Fayed seems to have long since lost interest too, after initially being quite hands on. I think it's a shame because I like Fulham as a club. Yup, nice little club.
