that’s right, we all remember the iconic year where Kenny Dalgleish delivered trophy after trophy. and the much loved Michael Owen’s period at the club, where he earned every penny of his £100k a week salary by firing in goal after goal, to help steer the club to their famous relegation win in 2009.

Ruud Guilit too of course, who, again was much loved by the fans for his sexy football that helped fire you to an impressive derby day defeat against newly promoted rivals.

Are you serious?

Keegan - 78 & 79 (before Newcastle)
Gullit - 87 (before Newcastle)
Owen - '01 (before Newcastle)

...I can't see the 5th?

None of these happened whilst at Newcastle. This is your obsession with reflective glory again.

Are you claiming Rush from this list?

Michael Owen
Newcastle: 2005-2009
Cost: 16.8m
Wages: 4 x 52 x 100k = 20.8m
League Goals: 26
Cost per goal = 800k

Only signed for you as Everton and Liverpool wouldn't pay the fee. When interviewed refers to playing for Liverpool, Madrid and Manchester United. Regrets the association with Newcastle.

This is the thing with them. They’ll cling onto anyone who has done something at another club, like Benitez, so they feel important. Trawling back to players like Gullit and Owen ffs. How about Sunderland Academy product Jordan Henderson captaining his team to the Premier League and Champions League titles? Although I’m sure the Longstaff brothers will go onto similar glory...

In 2006 Newcastle match day revenue was 30.9m....that didn't even cover Owen's fee and wages. Wolfie...reflect on that - every ticket, every programme, every pie, every beer spent in the 2005-06 season didn't even fund Michael Owen - a player that now disassociates himself from you.

Both Henderson and Pickford watched us as supporters at our games.

Wonder how many of their "success by association" lot did similar?

Don't forget the self-styled Lion of gosforth got an automatic rise to be highest paid player when Owen joined. So add that to Owen's cost.

You’re working out the cost per goal based on his wages only, you also need to include his transfer fee which takes it up to around £1.5m per goal.
