DM for every decent post you counter this with complete guff.
Though that is as much a revelation as the fact that Cashley is screwing us.
How can the club stand on its own feet (as Cashley wants) if he is stripping the club of all chance of commercial revenue. Estimates (and that's all they can be) put us around 38-40mill if we had full access to all commercial streams as opposed to just Wonga. If Cashley wants to alma me money then fine, make money through the commercial revenue. Instead he is (in effect) assets stripping and keeping the money from sales/tv/gate to make his money and using other revenue streams to boost his financial empire.
He is double bubbling and making money both ends, he wants it both ways and how is that right?
It's not the clubs fault he didn't follow due diligence but now we are the ones being punished and until he leaves we are stuck.
Precisely what sponsorship is Newcastle missing out on that should be worth loads to them, and where on earth does the 40mil estimate come from?
You were on 10mil over 4 year Northern rock deal while in the championship, when they got bought out this became a 2year 10mil deal(5 a year). They ended this early and moved to a £8mil deal a year from Wonga.
Puma became their kit sponsor a few years ago and renegotiated the deal while apparently Newcastle were 4th in the prem a couple years ago... but I can't find a value stated in any news on that deal.
The shirt deals, kit/sponsor, and other associated sponsorship outside the top 6 is no where near what consistent european teams can achieve. You know why they have a £8mil a year deal with Wonga, and terminated the Virgin 5mil a year deal, because he loves the company, or because it was the best offer they got. No one is screaming to throw money at a recently struggling, north east team with a single derby no one outside the north east cares about.
That my point what's the point lol?
He should already have agreed terms and wages before the loan.
These loans will cost us millions and end up with nothing in return
There is the little factor that Remy had a rape case hanging over his head when you signed him. The point of a loan is, it might also cost you much less. Remy may have been a perma crock, gone to jail, hated Newcastle, hated the entire team and wanted to leave and had you spent £15mil upfront and given him a 4-5 year contract, may have lost millions benching him or letting him force his way out.
It can go both ways, with De Jong, he had a meh first season and is basically completely uninvolved now. You may loan him and he's complete crap again, with no value and costing you millions for 4 years while no one else will buy him. It's not one way, it's not Remy or De Jong can only be good. Paying a couple mil more than you had to on some players and saving 15mil on others, works out better in the long run.
