**** the ginger ****, he thinks he is so much better than he is... he thinks he deserves to be playing for a top 4 side with the chance of winning the EPL and getting into the Champ League. He is right where he belongs, with the rest of the deluded unwashed. Can't wait to see him lining up for NUFC @ Burton Albion on a cold Tuesday night.

There is going to be a struggle at Newcastle. They have alot of players on big big money, MA has spent 80million quid and seen **** all return on investment... i think he will be selling the big earners and players he can get a penny for like Mitro, Wij, Shelvey, Townsend and pocketing all the money for himself. I don't think he will invest in the team in the Championship, he will think they can get up at first try, which is going to be alot tougher than last time there were down there. And I have heard they don't have relegation clauses in their contracts either, although ACS will say they have after last time they went down..

If we'd have gone down the same would have happened to us. It is the worst time to go down, the money next year you'll be missing out on will be enormous if youre not in the EPL
 
They will lose a shed load of dosh if they off load some of those players. One of the problems when you get relegated, you have to sell have to take a big loss on your best players

You go on the NUFC board and they are talking like they would get almost all of their investments back from the players. Fat Mike might be tough to negotiate with, but unhappy players, costing a fortune on wages... Rafa will leave, and I think they would go for someone in the Pardew mould. Nothing special, quite meh. Curbishly? Not Pearson. Houghton again? Bruce.. haha.
 
I'm not buying into it that Newcastle are ****ed financially, not a chance, they're one of the best run clubs financially in this league, after years of being tight as **** (which has led them to going down ultimately).

They've wasted money on Thauvin and Cabella, £12m each so I believe, they'll probably get half back on them two.

They'll sell Cisse, Tiote, Sissoko, Wijnaldum and Coloccini (free him) for sure, but they're not in a crippled mess like they were last time they dropped out of this league.

The big question is whether they get back up first time of asking, if not, that's when it'll hit them in the pocket.

Amazing how they are being so positive in their own deluded way, getting this much for that player etc etc.
Some need to get into the real world and realise it aint gonna be that easy to get straight back up.
I think Norwich will be above Newcastle next year, if they are to have a clear-out and lose Rafa i can see them really struggle.
Shame really as i would rather play them than the Boro.

Financially they are well run, they aren't ****ed for cash by any stretch of the imagination. But Mike has Newcastle as a billboard for SportsDirect, he tries and puts in as little as he can to just get by. This season he changed that. Fans demanded investment, so he did. 3rd highest spenders in Europe i saw somewhere. And what does he get for it? Relegation. The way he will most likely look at it is he's now 80 million out of pocket (plus EPL TV money), and will want to recoup that. Sell sell sell. And minimal investment for NUFC.

He could very well change his tune and spend heaps of cash to get back into the EPL, but he didn't even spend that much in the EPL last season exempt. Carr got lucky with some finds they sold at a profit. Carr has been ****house and is living off Cabaye. If Charnley stays, NUFC are ****ed.

Oh Jack, it wasn’t meant to be this way

From Arsenal and City, to Rotherham away

Desperate to join your boyhood club

Proud to be an unwanted Mag sub

All because you swapped ha’way for howay

Oh Jack, it wasn’t meant to be this way



Orange on top and yellow of heart

At left back you got the occasional start

Were you so desperate to play with Coloccini?

To link up with the Jawdee Gini?

How long must you have thought

About their impressive airport

Before you decided to depart?



We gave you a chance, offered a contract too

Instead, Cattermole got to snap you in two

We understand, you didn’t want another relegation fight

You ran to the Mags from the Stadium of Light

You got to see thousands of Jawdees screaming themselves hoarse

Passion that became anger that became assault of a horse

And what a great move it turned out to be

Now that you get to visit Huddersfield and Bristol City



A transfer as baffling as a Lee Ryder turn of phrase

But as the Ginger Pirlo, you got to dazzle and amaze

The Mags crooned and crowed

"How could you have let him go?"

Little did they know…



You got to take every corner and every free-kick

And I can hardly give you stick

You saved the day

In so many ways

Like the Jawdee Michelangelo

You painted the Mags in our shadow

Helped them forge a path in England’s second tier

While Wor Al shed a solitary tear



The True Geordie shouts and splutters "the Mags are doon"

Like Jabba the Hutt in his mother’s back room

But little Jacky boy is still the Pride of the Toon

A clear sign of progress by the Jawdee boardroom

It doesn’t matter about the 88 million spent

Or even your season of torment and descent

Because little ginger Jack is playing left-back for the Toon



And so au revoir, ciao ciao, and good day

I hope you and the Mags enjoy Rotherham away.

Sports Direct is his priority of course and we're going into a summer of big sports, look at their returns over big summers historically as a company, the 2012 games, world cups, he ****ing rakes it in, a loss of £40m to Newcastle won't bother him one bit because it won't require his personal investment this time round. They won't need his investment by the looks of things, they have saleable assets and don't owe a penny to any club for transfers.

He's not £80m out of pocket though, it was never his own money and the losses he will take on players like Shelvey, Townsend, maybe Wijnaldum, Mitrovic if they sell them... he'll just make back those losses and then some with players like Sissoko, Perez, Krul, Colback... he's paid nowt for that lot.

Personally, I don't foresee any problems for them in that division unless Benitez leaves (which I expect him to) and they can't replace him, early, with somebody good enough. That's a massive task for their board who just seem like a pack of clowns at best.
