But his release clause has been widely reported as £16.5 million.
I suppose it's to judge whether worth buying him, plus if Rafa is off it means the new bloke won't be lumbered with him if he doesn't want him.
Rafa will not need to worry about
him.... we are heading for mart hughes or gordon strachan....
I am fecking devastated by the state we are in
Wonder where all the money is.His offshore accounts must be bursting at the seams.Oh,forgot.He paid a debt off that is still there.He is playing games with the fans of this great club and getting away with it.Why the local rags don't ask the right questions is a disgrace as well.He gets an easy ride from all angles.
The next set of TV money is due anytime now.If it's not spent,when it's not spent he should and teaboy should be asked why.
Thing is his only love SD is making plenty of money from NUFC be it through exposure over the TV, free advertising, gaining big bucks through the club shop. There is no plan for NUFC apart from stumbling from season to season with the only goal being to stay in the prem. Last season was a money spinner, absolutely perfect in fact not quite in Europe but an unexpected extra £20m in the coffers.
The financial rewards from the TV and sponsorship far outweighs a few hundred fans refusing to buy or renew ST’s (I’m not having a dig Mick) as there are others who’ll snap them up, and he banged on £80/100 for the luxury of doing it.
The made up extra debt is another smoke screen to make us look like a destitute ex millionaire with the assertion that we can’t even compete with Huddersfield and Brighton in the transfer market.
I don’t think he’ll sell our club in the next 10-15 years, he’s making too much money from it, gets his buzz gambling with it, knowing full well he’ll always sell the ST’s.
We’ll always be one wrong decision from disaster with him as 11 years on he still has no clue how to run a football club.
A Rafa benitez target ?? I don't think so
They just want to loan an entire team by the looks of it ,the option to buy is complete bollox, no intention .
Ritchie will go , as we have Ki Was Free as a replacement , and if someone comes up with £35m lascelles will go.
We should be sponsored by LoansDirect
Look where Sland have ended up after having all their loan deals Rose, Ki, Borini etc. Can’t build a team as they aren’t your players.
I know you weren't having a go bob... but, i didn't cancel my tickets to make a stand or to try to make a difference.
I done it because my blood pressure cannot take the frustration of the transfer windows, then using all my spare holidays from work and spinning plates constantly to go and watch a thing i love be smowly erroded away and there is nothing i can do about it.
The club has terminal cancer, and 11 yrs later, there is still no cure.
