Banshee 0 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) http://www.telegraph...-spend-big.html Alan Pardew has warned Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley that the club are in danger of tumbling out of the Premier League if he does not allow him to spend heavily in the transfer market this month. Is there any need to warn him? It's been totally obvious since the summer that we need to spend heavily. The Ba money has already gone and the likes of Simpson won't bring in much. Will Ashley take another risk on relegation, and hope the injured players are back in time, or spend the £20/30 million needed?

JawD 99 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Cant see him spending £30M like. £20M at a push and if we do I reckon that will impact on spending plans in the summer or we could even see someone head out in the summer to pay for these.

Christmas Tree 4831 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Vast amounts of extra TV money coming iirc. Helps focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35588 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Relegation cost c. £25m iirc. so he's not going to spend £30m when we have a lower wage bill this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We'll be very lucky to get a net spend of £10m imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7174 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Debuchy and Ba probably balance each other out money wise. The Ba replacement should be a fun journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than that I would say, and that's presuming an instant return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35588 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) More than that I would say, and that's presuming an instant return. They claimed it cost £500k a week last time (or thereabouts). If it had cost more I don't see them spinning it to hide that, given the crack then was all about how much 'Mike' was putting into the club out of his own pocket etc. Having said that, I'm not suggesting we won't bring more players in because I think they realise we need another striker at least and they won't want to risk relegation. I don't see us spending £30m net (or £20m for that matter) though. Edited January 4, 2013 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7492 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I was thinking more of the impact on sponsorship and other corporate deals. I suppose the fact that we're getting nought from Sports Direct will nullify that somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3508 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Has the parachute payment increased along with the TV money? If not then they have a lot more to lose this time around. Plus his Sports Direct advertising isn't worth shite around the world when it's part of the Championship coverage or FA League highlights program. Still won't make a difference to the chancer.

DEADMAN 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 if ashley thinks 5 million for debuchy is enough hes sadly fucking deluded we need a least another 4 players maybe 5 tops or 6 even 2 defenders 2 midfielders and 2 strikers to cover us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee 0 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) After Saturday I think my point about spending £20/30 million stands, we simply can't be throwing in the likes of Ranger, he's just not very good. Our squad is just shocking when we have injuries and have to bring in people like him. The quickest Obertan ran, all day, was when he was subbed and sprinted to the dressing room. It must have been like walking to the North Pole getting back from Brighton, gloomy, endless and silent. Edited January 7, 2013 by Banshee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't think the amount of money spent really counts. For £35m Liverpool got Andy Carroll for instance and he didn't do them much good. It's more about the quality of players brought in than the money spunked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because there's loads of quality players available on the cheap. I'm not suggesting we spend more money on shite like Xisco.
