I wouldn’t have any of them over our current squad. If we were relegated maybe....

Realistically it’s between Sheff Weds and Derby, I can see Forest dropping the points the Wednesday and Derby losing to Swansea to set up Sheff Weds v Derby final day. It’s like sky’s wet dream

Agreed.

Pretty sure they couldn’t stand him at the start of the season. He’s 28 aswell

Nah - he’s just having a good season. Been terrible before this season

I’m sure Robins said we’re looking to develop him. Didn’t he only start because Willis was injured at the start of the season?

Is £20 million the asking price? Where’s that figure come from

Newcastle’s wage bill is 65 million this year. That in itself is half that money. Ashley isn’t a bad owner, he makes prudent decisions to keep Newcastle profitable. They may get relegated but he makes sure they get back up straight away. They are worth the 300 million that Amanda Staveley...

I think those days are long gone. They’re all businesses now whether we like it or not. The expenditure alone required to run a football club at a decent level runs into millions. The only people with that capital are big businesses. Fans have become more demanding, and ruthless, and as I...

And Ashley does buy players - Joelinton and Almiron cost 70 mil between them. The fact they’re not worth that is neither here or there. Newcastle fans are the epitomy of entitled fans. They’ve been telling Ashley to sell up and fuck off and at the same time expect him to pump in 100s of...

I’m not saying it’s the consumers fault, but weve spent the last 5 years dragging SISUs name through the mud. How can we expect them to think - fuck it throw 10 mil in, when there’s no guarantee that it will exceed - fans have a history of then expecting the owners to leave with no rerun. If...

They’re also probably budgeting for those 8k aswell. We don’t know how long the restrictions are going to be in place. Would be nuts to budget for more further income crowd wise until an increase is allowed. Which would put our average at the same as our league one winning season

Just come off the back of a pandemic. That needs to be accounted for. I’m also of the opinion that this just to throw off the competition, they’re not going to come out and say - yeah we’ve doubled our budget so yeah - name us your asking wage

The alternative is more desirable, get our friends to all go, pack out the Ricoh week in week out, buy all the merchandise and the budget will increase. They’ve made it clear we work at break even. It’s an ok model that keeps the club on its own 2 feet.

Ah yes the Newcastle fan syndrome - “buy us players with your money, expect nothing back and if it don’t work fuck off” The alternative is more desirable, get your friends to all go, pack out the Ricoh week in week out, buy all the merchandise and the budget will increase.

Pretty sure his league one record is worse than Biamou’s let alone Championship EDIT: it’s actually similar. Either way it’s a no from me. Not great in League One, has a lot f personal problems

Mason signed a new contract didn’t last year?

Putting the injury proneness aside, I don’t recall his kicking being great despite being a brilliant goalkeeper. Doesn’t strike me as a ball playing keeper either

I’d sign Michael Smith from Rotherham purely for a plan B option. He’s a lump, and has 10 goals this season.

Didn’t seem to be going to badly the last 5 or so games
