Benitez would have had better players at his disposal if he hadn’t gotten you relegated too

But how does that make them creeps (I'll give you Pardew like)?
Any advertising revenue you've lost would have been swallowed up by interest payments if Ashley hadn't been giving you a £100M interest free loan for over 10 years.
Obviously that doesn't count like....

You think Benitez is about as much of a yes man as the other, but just complains more?
Ashley In!!

Asked him to back up his charity claims, he ignored it.
Why do you think he is still there?

They're not mutually exclusive. Ashley could have sold the advertising space and used that money to pay down the debt the club owes him. But he hasn't he's kept the debt for the most part, kept free/cheap advertising, and so on.
All the shirt sales and merchandise would have paid that off,had the club received any money for it instead of sports direct

How much does Ashley want for the club?
Ashley In!!

If he'd paid down the debt, you'd have moaned about him "taking money out of the club" though!

Benitez? I think he believes that with proper backing, the right players and a bit of luck Newcastle United could be a top half team with a top half team's chance of silverware and European competition. He sees potential.
plus all the other factors like; English club, not too far from his family, loyal support. We're one of very few that meet all the criteria he has, who would also be interested in him.
So a few thousand per game is going to help pay off a £100M debt plus interest. Get real you clown
Ashley In!!

Too much mate, every mag season ticket comes with a corporate finance qualification. Didn't you know?

I don't know precise figures obviously, but it's been widely reported that he's asking for £300m for the club, that he wants to keep the Sports Direct advertising up (for a period), that he wants the merchandising rights (similar to Rangers) and that he wants a bonus should we stay up.
But that's just what's been reported, he could be asking for 1 shiny penny or seven golden unicorns.

And what do you believe the club is actually worth, in your opinion ..... also how much is this 'staying up' bonus?
You have no concept of money IMO.

A few thousand? Where'd you get that figure from?So a few thousand per game is going to help pay off a £100M debt plus interest. Get real you clown
Also, Ashley isn't charging interest, so why have you included it?
