I posted that stat on another thread!! The. Checked it agin on sky and they have actually spent 42 million! Mental money for the championship!

Was surprised though to see that we were the 4th biggest spending team this season in the league.

was that over 5 years ?

Ciaran Clark for 5 mil is a strange signing. Wouldn't take him over any of our centre halves.

It's ok FFP is designed to help teams like Newcastle, if you have a big ground and existing fan base no matter how badly you waste money and carntcarntcarntcarnt up you will automatically be allowed to spend more than others time and time again.

I'm sure I wrote something that rhymes with duck not carntcarntcarntcarnt :/

[Artful]

Their current first team squad consists of 29 once you add in their latest signings

Newcastle will Pi$$ this division this year i think still got lots of quality bought well, good championship players, probablt along with Norwich going up with 1 other from probably 7 or 8

It isnt tye ground that is helping them, they happen to have players that other teams value enough to buy. They are break even already on sales and once Sissoko goes they will be 30 millipn in the black. They have done nothing wrong, if we had of had more valuable players when we went down we wpuld have dome similar

Also the extra cash they generate getting 40-50,000 watching them every week comparered to our meager 15-18.000 makes a big differance

There will be no middle ground, they will either fuk everyone so hard they'll be out of sight by Xmas or they will implode and Rafa will be gone within 10 games.

Totally agree with you there, but with that comes expectations if it doesn't go to plan can turn against you!
I'm just happy to see us going about it sensibly

No Mate, that was this summer. Newcastle have spent 42 million on player recruitment. IN all fairness they sold winjalum for 25mill and townsend for 12 mill!

We were 4th after spending 5.25 mill. Bristol City 3rd who have spent 7.5 mill so far and think it Villa 2nd on about 12 mill.

All that extra cash means f*ck all if you don't spend it wisely. They had 50,000 a week in the PL but finished below Bournemouth who get 11,000 a week.

just reiterating it helps them with FFP. 50.000 to our 15.000

Guessing they'll line up something like this:

---------------------Darlow--------------------
New RB-Mbemba-Lascelles-Colback
-----------------'Shelvey-Hayden------------
Ritchie----------Diame----------------Gayle
----------------------Mitrovic-------------------
