JawD 99 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hmm, that cant be right. Just done the predictor thing and had the bottom as 37 NUFC 37 Stoke 36 Sunderland 36 Hull 29 Boro 26 West Brom Id take it now of course. Had our points from Stoke away (1), Portsmouth home (3), Boro home (3), Fulham home (1). What is worrying is that according to this, if we drop 2 points from any of that lot we would finish 3rd bottom. Thats very possible especially Portmouth at home if we drew. I have 8 points from 4 games there, I reckon 7 is the minimum we can take from them. Worse still, is some teams around us have been getting freaky results. Really starting to clutch at straws about staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 There's a report doing the rounds today that suggests that we've built no contigency into any of the players contracts in the event of relegation - i.e. if we go down, a reduction in any players wages will have to be negotiated and cannot be applied automatically. You know what? I wouldn't be in the least bit suprised if that was true - for too long now, the person who's been responsible for negotiating player contracts at SJP has wanted fucking shooting. And if it is true and we do go down, there's only two courses of action I can possible foresee: 1. Financial meltdown 2 A firesale Great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevietoon 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 did you expect "planning" ? there is always this: words from the clubs new commercial guy taken from an interview in last weeks business section fo the Journal. talking about relegation and the commercial impact Webber says: “What is this word relegation? I think if it ever happened, which personally I don’t foresee, it will just be a case of rebuilding. “Newcastle will still have a huge fan base and the black and white will still be very much a strong brand that people recognise, but maybe the types of brands we target will change. “If you do remove the Premier League, then the global appeal we have is reduced, so maybe we bring the focus back to national brands and national, rather than global partnerships. With all the audacity of a great salesman, he even argues the commercial positives that could be taken if the club did find itself in football’s second tier: “A lot of brands could see it as an opportunity . “I imagine there are a lot of companies that, because of the loyal and passionate fan-base, would look at Newcastle and think they could make a long-term investment.” So; perhaps the plan IS to take us down !

Craig 6682 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well my end of season league prediction makes awful reading. I think we'll draw at Stoke and Villa and beat Boro. The rest, I can't see us getting anything leaving: Liverpool 86pts Man Utd 83pts Chelsea 82pts Arsenal 77pts Everton 64pts Aston Villa 58pts Spurs 54pts Fulham 53pts West Ham 53pts Portsmouth 50pts Wigan 49pts Man City 48pts Stoke 41pts Bolton 40pts Sunderland 39pts Hull 36pts Blackburn 36pts Boro 35pts Newcastle 34pts West Brom 25pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
