Bubbles Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 So, Mike Ashley announced by end of next week, allowing us to extend contracts, and potentially bring in free agents (up to the EFL) Happy. very happy. And to those who are sceptical about Ashley, he’s only going to invest to get profit on us, and the only way realistically to get a profit is to turn us into a debt-free, sustainable Premier League club. Again, Very happy. GB SPORTS, Zag zig, DesertRam and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is cutting it very fine given that most players can already sign pre contract deals. it could be a mass exodus and al lot of players leaving for zilch. In some cases that is a lot less than they are worth. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hope is that Rooney sticks around which may be enough for the players to stick around long enough for contracts to be given out.

They spent some good money on players over the years. 40 million on Joelinton, 20 plus million on Callum Wilson, they go on like Mike Ashley bled them dry but their transfer spends over the years suggest otherwise. The money just wasn't invested correctly. I suspect Ashley put trust in the wrong people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also TBH Newcastle fans expectations are absolutely stellar. They don't understand why they aren't in the Champions League year in, year out. I read a report a while ago when they were well into the Ashley bashing, and the journo had worked out he would need to spend £1 Billion on players to get into the orbit of Citeh, Man Utd and Liverpool. Even then - no guarantees of any success at the highest level (look at Everton right now) jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatonram Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 @Ghost of Clough ME Wouldn’t season ticket sales achieve this? Normally starts in March. YOU Season ticket money is released on a game by game basis, so no. But there is no problem with money released on match by match basis if it is funding "beyond the summer" that we need....this would be it. Again, we just want to be treated like any other Club, surely? We will have season ticket sales at the top end of the Championship, Gates the same, probably corporate sales the same and sponsorship the same. Every other Club will be looking ahead at their projected income so why would we not be allowed to if we secure the £5m deposit? 1967RAMS and GB SPORTS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
