Howmanheyman 33837 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 For fuck's sake. I wish the club knew how massively disruptive this is for non-local fans like me. I've got a membership so I'm sorted, but very few of my mates (Toon fans included, but I used to go to away games with non-fans as well) around here do. So in turn I simply don't get to many games. If I could even just buy two as a member it'd help. I can't expect others to fork out £30 for a membership just to go and watch a game or two with me. It's a joke, and it's completely £-driven. Well said, Zanetti. Totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Reading through the minutes it looks like we're to get a new DoF in the sumer (Hoddle ?) if we have to have one why cant he be appointed now to prepare for the summer window. By the time he has settled in and identified any players the window will be over unless thats the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The club saying " we had no option but to sell Cabaye he was adamant he wanted to leave " that makes the club appear weak. What's now to stop Tiote, Colo, Ben Arfur etc saying they want to be off in the summer or else we wont play for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10963 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It's been stated a few times he's a Spurs fan, but I think he's a Spurs fan in the same way as David Cameron is an Aston Villa fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The Club explained that the rumour of the owner taking cash out of the club is simply not true http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Fans/FansForum/0,,10278~3686671,00.html Eh? it's in last years books that he took £11m back. The lying bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It was explained that the Club's debt cost £8m in interest alone every year before Mike Ashley purchased the club. Bollocks "From 2001 to 2005 the club only paid interest on its long-term loan taken out to extend the ground. This was set at £4.5m a year up to 2016. Things started to deteriorate in 2006 and again in 2007. Close to an extra £3m in interest payments were needed in 2007 compared to a couple of years earlier." It never reached £8m at it's worst.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It was reiterated that the club saw 10th as a minimum target. Why is Pardew still in a job when he finished 16th then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33837 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 We're debt free but we aren't. We have an interest free loan which is great but the loan amount never goes down. The man buys the club, owns the club, makes mistakes, pays for those those mistakes then bills the the club with an IOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Why is Pardew still in a job when he finished 16th then? Probably something to do with him being tied to the club until 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Didn't that 'target' only come in after last season? Can't have. Wouldn't be fair to demand so much more while not signing a single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 From the minutes at the first fans forum of the season.. The club explained that it has a football plan that it works to. Last season knocked the club back a little and resulted in the club revising its expectations for this season. The club's intention last season was to finish in the top eight. Because we finished lower, the club re-evaluated and we want to finish in the top ten this season. http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Fans/FansForum/0,,10278~3462657,00.html So if we don't achieve the bare minimum we don't hold anyone to account, we just reduce the minimum.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Also from those "pre-accounts" minutes .... The club spent a net £30m in January But now the accounts say... the Club's cash outlay on players was £28.7million For January AND the summer before. Anita, Curtis Good, Bigirimana and Amalfitano were close to £10m that summer. What is the point of a forum where the fans are lied to so brazenly? It shouldn't be dignified by the attendance of any fan, it just suggests gullibility enough to buy into the shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
