    FACT !!!!!!! Newcastle outlaid one hundred million pounds last season and we have people that cannot understand why every other club in the championship did not do the same <doh>

    FACT! yet again Fredor is all over the place and yet again fails to understand basic football economics and that transfers are a two way thing... as the net spend table shows... go grab some muesli fella and get to specsavers...

    Aston Villa (£11.9m)
    Bristol City (£6.6m)
    Sheffield Wed (£5.6m)
    Huddersfield Town (£3.7m)
    Cardiff City (£3.5m)
    Wigan Athletic (£2.6m)
    Preston North End (£1.6m)
    Ipswich Town (£1.5m)
    Rotherham United (£1.1m)
    Fulham (£1.08m)
    Barnsley (£1m)
    Birmingham City (£0.7m)
    Burton Albion (£0.4m)
    Brighton (-£0.1m)
    Wolves (-£0.8m)
    Nottingham Forest (-£1m)
    Reading (-£1.3m)
    Leeds United (-£2.7m)
    QPR (-£4m)
    Derby County (-£4.5m)
    Blackburn Rovers (-£5.5m)
    Brentford (-£6m)
    Norwich City (-£9.4m)
    Newcastle United (-£12.8)

    I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE CONCEPT OF A PLAYER HAVING ANY SALEABLE VALUE IS ALIEN TO THE MACKEMS THOUGH :smiley-finger007::smiley-finger007::smiley-finger007:

    This is where Sunderland have gone wrong and why poor Fredor cannot understand.
    They haven't grasped then concept that if you sell players you might want to replace them.
    Yes we spent money, to REPLACE a number of international players - and with a tidy net financial GAIN.
    FACT!
    Let's see how Sunderland do next season...

    On the head their Obi.
    It's this financial model which could spell doom for the Mackems.
    Bar Pickford they don't have any saleable assets. Defoe is about as old as wor Freddy so at best has 12 months left in his legs. If they stay up they need £100m in investment as a minimum from the spend happy Ellis... if they drop..... well it doesn't look good.

    I cannot believe that you lot are as stupid as you are trying to make out, You had a billionaire owner with the funds to take a massive risk which he did and was never appreciated untill AFTER the highly unlikely event that players were sold for silly amounts, As is normal on the Newcastle forum it is seized on as a planned move,

    Surely now the answer is to spend ten times as much then sell some more players for a massive profit , cannot fail

    Just try for one time to apply some logic as to why the clubs below you do not follow Newcastle's proven successful formula

    I am aware of your hatred of TRUE figures but I feel that you should be made aware

    This is the spending of Newcastle and Sunderland in the latest Premier league tenures

    Almost double Sunderland's over a shorter period

    Most of the clubs you are presently playing against do not even have the money that Sunderland have to spend

    For gods sake try to move into the real world and stop playing those kids games

    What it does show of course is that money spent does generally correlate with where you end up. There are exceptions to the rule like Spurs (although that is perhaps just proof that your fortunes can be turned by just one player - Gareth Bale £100.8m). Southampton are a better example. They have used their youth system to buck the trend. That is really the only way to do it.

    Then there is Sunderland. Living up to their true moniker, Blunderland. They are spending the 7th most to battle relegation every year. Mismanagement does not begin to describe it.

    I think we would sit down in 13th. Essentially it was the mismanagement of McClaren that killed us.

    I love the word correlate,

    It depends almost 100% on how much you spend

    Titles are bought

    Position in the league has to be paid for

    Football that in the past was called sport is now one of the biggest businesses in the world

    Some fools think it is a good thing
