Picked 12 to give you a bit of scope to disagree.

If anything add 5m onto his value after seeing who he's up against. Keane has been a disaster, Walker is a right back, Smalling and Jones are absolute pap whose own fans think they need to go, Cahill can't be shifted at his age even with Chelsea trying to, Mawson has been injured and was dire before, Gomez is barely fit, Tarkowski has regressed.

I'd put him top 5 of that list. He's right in the Dunk/Mee bracket where you think there's enough raw materials for a top manager to work with, but he's always going to be under the cosh playing for Benitez (who iirc doesn't even play his preferred position)

Yes Benitez does have tens of millions worth of players. Fulham bought 148 million players *this season* and are eight points lower on the table. It demonstrates how little ammunition tens of millions is these days.

How much ammunition are you protesting for Ashley to give him then??!

My mistake, you are correct 148 million is transfermarkt's value of the players not the actual fees spent. Actual fees roughly 100 million. Newcastle have spent roughly half that.

Personally not protesting (understand those that do) but to answer the question I would like to see Ashley spending to be roughly in line with the club's income. Deloitte's football money league indicates only 7 EPL teams earn more than us (despite Ashley's free advertising at the stadium and the possibility the merchandising income is going to sport's direct rather than the club) so I'd like to see us only being outspent by 7 EPL teams. As it is we are being outspent by everyone but Tottenham and Palace.

Good answer. I personally think that's a little bit of a simplistic way of looking at things.
 
I'm more confused at how he thinks they would get £20m for Almiron even if he flops. No MLS team would pay that kind of money, i'm sure their record fee was about £10m or so (i could be wrong), so very much doubt a club would then pay double that for f***ing Almiron!

You mean like being a successful buisness which employs hundreds of her constituents.
Instead she want's the buisness to rack up millions of pounds worth of debt and potentially have to make people redundant. (Leeds Utd)

No, that's not what I mean. The second sentence is some wonderful imagination at work :lol:

Your club hasn’t been run anywhere near as badly as any of those clubs, you’ve not suffered in the same fashion as any of those clubs either. Which is why it was ridiculous for her to raise the issue. She didn’t raise it because she was concerned about the direction the game was going in. She raised it because Newcastle supporters, largely her constituent base, were getting uppity because Ashley hadn’t spent money on players. It’s as simple as that

We haven't, you're right. I'm sure the fans of those clubs would be upset that the subject was being raised in parliament.
CEF said:
It isn't about the running of football clubs responsibly (Ashley runs his very well financially), it's about getting Ashley to spend more money on players because Newcastle and the city apparently have a right to that. Utterly bizzare, but not unexpected from that deluded lot.

It is about the social responsibility of football club owners.

We agree except for where you say ideologically it's wrong. If you mean for an MP to try and dictate to a successful business then I agree with that too.



Our club ended up in League 1 through attempting to spend our way to the (relative) top, and f***ing up at almost every turn. If anything we should've been more conservative with money, the polar opposite to what this lass is suggesting for your club.

You're misrepresenting what Chi Onwurah wants for Newcastle United.

No it isn't, and were it raised by the parliamentary representative of Blackpool or Charlton you wouldn't give a toss and might, in fact, support the subject of the responsibility of the owners of football clubs being raised in parliament. But it mentions Newcastle United, therefore it's bad, because... rivalry or something?

There is, she, unlike every other politician, wants to attain or maintain whatever power she can. If the FA is forced to make their "fit and proper persons test" fit for purpose, who gives a toss?

yet your local comic thinks so.

You, your daft MP and your comic are quite frankly an embarrassing mess. No wonder those in the football world who can be bothered are laughing at you.


Not obsessed like. :)

I live with a lot of them...I would never dream of wanting to talk or debate with them voluntarily. :)

Well that makes you really, really cool. Imagine not talking or debating with someone, purely because of the football team they support. Do you have similar rules for people who like different tv shows to you, or supermarkets? jw :lol:
