    That’s a total lie!! I’ll lose my **** if we have another “off day” against So’ton. They’re absolutely awful.

    That won’t happen. I don’t think. And if it did I would probably explode anyways.

    It's gone exceptionally quiet on the selling Trippier in last few weeks.

    Miggy, Kelly and Tripps all in today's match day squad. I was hoping they might be otherwise engaged today.

    Maybe that's EHa point. You can't sell 3 first team squad players if we can't get any replacements?!

    But we can't get upgraded replacements unless we sell first.

    I think we had our final opportunity, last January, to sell him for anything approaching a useful amount of money.

    When you amortise by 4 or 5 year contracts, then yes, probably. The £10m being reported for Miggy could be a £50m transfer kitty.

    But then we have to find £10m each year for next 4 seasons just to cover that and so on

    Yes, but the better the squad gets, the more you can sell the fringe players for as they are better quality. Then the more you can spend. And so on. so it becomes easier and easier, IF you play it sensibly and not spunk millions on ****e like Man U have.

    We need to upgrade our **** / knackered players soon. Seel to buy.

    Problem is that 's then £10m a year onto the next 5 year's accounts which then potentially hinders further purchases. So the amortization that is frequently cited as the PSR saviour for clubs such as ours could long term have implications.

    We really need to get into Player trading such as Chelsea and Man City do to allow to counteract the build up of amortized costs. For this I think the new training facility that has been talked about recently is invaluable. We need to invest heavily to make our academy the primary destination for all North east talent so taht we too can both bring through new players as well as sell on those that are not going to have a future at Newcastle.

    It's a long term pay off but feels the only way to go...
