Nope, but Newcastle have never been top half of the table with Rafa Benitez at the helm before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Aye Ashley will be licking his lips at the prospect of kicking on. Like after we finished 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sch00lraider 999997 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Spent net £100mil between seasons 14/15 and 15/16! Recent Premier League TV money should result in a decent budget to improve current squad this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 i think there's every chance of kicking on, but it won't be because ashley puts his hands in his pocket. he'll spend the minimum he can get away with, as always. our main hope is rafa goes along with that, or the stavely takeover materialises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3888 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Can we guess at how much money we may have to spend if we take the money we get at the end of the season minus what we may have spent over what we made at the end of last season?

We'll be able to spend what we generate. Given that we spent very little this season there's bound to be a few quid in there for transfers.

I don’t think we’ll be allowed to spend in advance. It’ll only be in arrears so we can spend what we earned this season in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35063 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I can sort of see the logic (well I can see it but I'm not exactly happy with it), i.e. yes, the income is guaranteed but it's not guaranteed the following season until you're safe from relegation.

Don't think we've many saleable assets that Benitez will be happy to let go. It's only really Lascelles, imo. We might get interest in Diame, maybe Merino. But the former won't get us any money and Rafa's not done with the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitro Gayle Darlow Elliot Colback Clark Gamez Manquillo Merino Yedlin are all expendable and I expect half of them to go. They may not generate a lot, but that's where we're at.

Dr Gloom 21912 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 mitro will be off. i suspect we might flog gayle to a championship side too. we should get back what we paid for those two. mitro's form at fulham might have boosted his value a bit. i think we'll probably hang on to yedlin, merino and clark. the others can walk.

He'll go and go for nowt. Clark - We've little depth at centre back, sell only if we have a replacement Gamez - he'll go and go for nowt Manquillo - if he goes it'll be for buttons. Merino - Benitez won't sell Mikel Yedlin - Nah, young, fast, energetic and improving under Benitez. Going nowhere. are all expendable and I expect half of them to go.

David Kelly 1244 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Mbemba will surely be away in the summer. Him, Mitro and Gayle are the ones that I think we'll be interested in selling that are worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Our revenue went from £100mil to £45mil ish when we got relegated. We then spent £45mil on Lejeune, Murphy, Atsu, Manquillo, Joselu and Merino in the Summer. I dont think theres a warchest waiting to be spent this summer. There’s a £55mil hole to be filled from last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30569 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 We didn't spend that much and we also sold players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
