  1. Yeah, her holding is just under 7% now iirc
  2. You'd hope as part of any deal in ManU getting DA early they'd put in some "non-compete" clauses for our players and potential incoming transfers for at least the summer window, if indeed he goes before the summer.

    Magpie Rangers - we have a ready made song for that
  4. Aye true, the second came from an awful giveaway in midfield (couldn't make out who it was because of the shadow of the main stand) - literally passed to the # player under zero pressure. Seemed to me the occasion got to them yesterday unfortunately, a trait that's plagued the men's team for decades.
  5. They signed an international keeper in January - dont know if she's been given any gametime yet?
  6. I read that as within the next 5 years from now, pushing more to the pessimistic end of their initial assessment of major success within 5-10 years but still on target

    So you'd be happy if Adidas changed a little bit in the middle of our badge, like changing the colour of the black stripe to red? It's a national shirt and all about the identity

    Think people may be in for a shock when the new Toon Adidas tops arrive in June if they think £80-90 is expensive, sadly

    Think you're being a little optimistic about the costing of adding 7k to the Gallowgate, that figure could easily be 4 times that. Also I'd think the av. income will per seat would be higher - Even without taking inflation into account, I cant see staying at SJP with a circa 60k capacity and no significant additional number of "corporate" accommodations not resulting in the base price of a seat/ST significantly increasing over time. But yes even with these considerations the payback period from adding 7000 seats could easily be in excess of 15-20+ years
  10. Doesn't the FFP reporting window not close for the current season (23/24) on 30/06/24? England transfer window supposedly opens on June 14th, so that's a two week "grace" period to get players out - if not the likes of Chelsea may be stung for this year
  11. To be fair, looks like she can play a bit ...
  12. hmm, possibly - With him and Brailsford at the helm, maybe we should be suggesting more frequent drugs checks for Man Utd players in future
  13. As I understand it, P&S/FFP rules works on losses within a three year period not the actual debt - Man Utd have loans to cover this debt and have revenues to service the debt/interest payments (they've paid around £900m interest from the original ~£800m purchase in 18 years!) - Say it costs them £50m/year to service the debt they have revenues to cover it. Makes a bit of a mockery of the "sustainability" bit of P&S (as it is with all leveraged buyouts) as if the banks/lenders ever called in that debt they'd likely be well and truely fecked
  14. This is my understanding also. The 20 month figure being bandied about suggests 8 month notice/gardening leave period and 12 month anti-compete/restrictive covenant clauses. I'd hope after all the effort we took to get DA from Brighton that we've got that part of his contract pretty well tied down. It would be up to him and/or the competing company to pay the required compensation to get those clauses nullified. If the contact is as watertight as I expect, the ball is very very much in our court
  15. Just a shame the FFP rules are on losses within a FY and not overall debt, otherwise they'd be well and truely fecked! Its said they've paid around £900m in interest charges in 18 years servicing the loans needed for takeover purchase in 2005 (£780m). So thats £50m/year on average on favourable interest rates - be interesting to see how they cope now with the increase in rates overall ...
