The latest story to dog Newcastle sees Brian Mcnally make public that “Michael Owen is still being paid by Newcastle despite his free transfer to Manchester United… Under Premier and Football League rules, Owen is entitled to have the shortfall between his £105,000-a-week Newcastle wages and his £50,000 Old Trafford basic made up for a month.”

Mike Ashley eyes five-year plan for NUFC glory
Feb 10 2009 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle
Love the five year plan and how they are going to be the next Aston Villa.
Snippet from the links
There are still further payments to make on some of those transfers over next two years, while the £11m from major long-term commercial deals, understood to be Northern Rock and adidas, was spent up front by the previous regime on the first team.
Llambias said: “We are trying to get away from dating so that we don’t have huge amounts of money going out.
“We are trying to pay up front.
“People like Coloccini, Xisco and Gutierrez, which is just getting sorted out now – we own those players.
“It’s like buying a car on HP but then it gets written off, but you still have to pay it.
“That’s how the business was being run, they ran it on a credit.”
However, Llambias has vowed that United will spend again in the summer and with several players set to be out of contract in the summer, the MD believes the wage bill will be freed up to allow Newcastle to sign players who fit into the new structure.
He added: “There is £8m there and it will be spent in the summer.
“Mike isn’t afraid to spend money out of his own pocket.
“Last year we lost £34m, this year we’ll lose £20m, and next year it will be around £7m.
“But it still doesn’t mean that Mike won’t invest when he has to invest.
“We aren’t a selling club, we’re a buying club.
“We are out there in the market.”

They were just saying on Radio Skunkland that bench warmer Steve Harper had commented on what a dire state the club is in.

Oh god yes, I can't wait to see the first pics of the away and at........
Who's their first away game against again ?
This thread cant be closed for an age yet.
We await pics of fans in their new tops
plus: dodgy takeover issues
plus: defeats as the new season starts.
On their forums i have noticed many mags saying that we will soon become bored with slagging them off over their predicament.
Lets prove em wrong .

Death by a thousand cuts by the looks of it. Can you imagine if they did do a Leeds and get stuck in the third ?
