kmpowell Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Owen in on close to 150k per week Not forgetting his "Goal Bonus" of £700,000 per goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RobbieTurner Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Owen in on close to 150k per week, aside from Robinho he's one of the Prem's highest paid players, yes he's on more than Ronaldo and Rooney. ROFL! Now you wonder why Newcastle got relegated? Mike Ashley is just plain dumb. £110,000 a week. Doesn't make it much better I know. Mike Ashley by the way didn't put him on that amount. It was before he joined. Further more, I suggest a self made Billionaire can rarely be labelled as 'dumb' - if thats the case - God how I wish I was dumb..!

Mike Ashley got lucky as some do. Being rich doesn't mean for one minute you are clever, even if he made a fortune. He's still a thick ####.

He's made mistakes, catastrophic ones for sure, I thought that came as a result of someone walking into a football club and thinking they could run it as they have with their own businesses though - more's the pity it doesn't work that way though.

tropicalsurfer Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 They really are a bunch of idiots. I cannot wait for the season to start because i they aren't going to find it as easy as they all seem to think. They seem to think it will all be finished by feb, classic!

Lack of Action Man Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 "Makes me sick that we are going to have to go to teams like Plymouth, Bristol City, Cardiff and Swansea" So they don't like the south west then? Oh and Wales. Well they are Northern they like to go to the toilet outside. Strange race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Miggins Pie Shop Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 They wont get £50,000 a week at any other Prem club and certainly not in the CCC. I heard Sky Sports say there were 15 players on AT LEAST £50k a week and, crucially, NO RELEGATION CLAUSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Sorry to bring this up again, but i'm finding their arrogance addictive. The best one yet: "Maybe the FA will step in more when clubs are being misrun? you all have to admit that us going down is a huge step back for the premier league. There's going to be games of Burnley v Hull next season in the EPL and Newcastle v S****horpe in the CCC!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaloneFM Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I would love it, absolutely LOVE IT if they went down next year too. For those unfamiliar with 14 year old jokes constantly spouted and expecting the same laugh every time, year after year after year.... http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type...ove+it&aq=o That clip is older than some of the posters on here!

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Owen in on close to 150k per week, aside from Robinho he's one of the Prem's highest paid players, yes he's on more than Ronaldo and Rooney. ROFL! Now you wonder why Newcastle got relegated? Mike Ashley is just plain dumb. The rot set in for Newcastle before Mike Ashley,. Freddy Shepherd was useless as well It started when he sacked Bobby Robson and replaced him with Souness!! And signed players for managers i.e. Owen was a Shepherd signing, when Souness wanted Anelka who was top scorer in the PL this year. He also wanted a good left sided player but Shepherd signed Luque. Indeed he also signed Kluivert over Bobby Robson's head. In fact when Ashley took over he had to pay a £100million securitisation clause because he forgot to do due dilligence. Indeed, Mike Ashley is inept but there was a huge debt there when he took over, their squad has ONE left back out of 40 players, testament to the mismanagement of Ashley and Shepherd.

chinapig Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I heard Sky Sports say there were 15 players on AT LEAST £50k a week and, crucially, NO RELEGATION CLAUSE. From today's Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/ma...brian-mawhinney The significant bit: However, that was before Newcastle's drop to football's second tier on Sunday, which will have a more direct effect since the St James' Park club is expected to maintain a £40m wage bill. That is at least five times the size of the bulk of Championship clubs' salary costs. Queens Park Rangers, with three billionaires as major shareholders, spend £9.2m a year on wages, Bristol City less than £7m and Burnley won promotion to the Premier League on Monday with a wage bill of £8m.

jammy colo bcfc Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Just been on the Newcastle site and read all the crap about how well they are supported,but there are only 55 people on their site compared with 700 on this site, maybe the northern monkeys can't use a computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I will be leading a chorus of "Alan Shearer's illegitimate..." From the Williams if anyone cares to join in "..... He has got no birth cirtificate..." I know the song well, thanks to a sunderland supporting mate!! What makes me "sick" is the notion that Newcastlte fans are the "most loyal" fans when in the past year they have proved to be far from that.

Gibbs Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Big club s**t team. It's been like that for years. In all fairness though most of their supporters aren't too bad. It's just the 20% that are makes you forget about the other 80%, they're that bad haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom86 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Alright boys. Newcastle fan here. I wouldn't pay the opinions of people on that forum much credence at all if I were you as they don't really represent that of the fans, neither do the morons you see parading outside the ground on sky sports news. We have been in this division before and we know it's tough and most of us are expecting a tough season. Obviously there are some teams that are aware of what promotion takes in the division and there are teams that narrowly missed on it last year who are going to be much better prepared than we are - especially given the current ownership crisis and the lack of a manager. Add to this we have a lot of players on big wages that we simply can't afford any more. A few big earners have already gone but there's still 3 or 4 to get rid of and of course we need to rebuild. Promotion at any time at all depends on a lot of change and so far we haven't seen any and we don't know of we are likely to. Preparation and prior knowledge of the division are key, if Dowie stays he is an asset but like I say we don't know what's going to happen. If you want to talk to Newcastle fans who are a little more down to earth go to a proper forum like www.toontastic.net and you will probably be welcome but don't go on the wind up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
