I can only quote one of the the Chelsea fans I was chatting to on the tube after the game….’****ing hell, you absolutely battered us. 2-1 flatters us, should have been 5 or 6….best away performance I’ve seen in years at the Bridge’.
I think the culture in the club and that the whole club is rewarded for success does to a degree play a factor in the next few years. If we win a trophy and get into Europe there will be huge bonuses paid out.
Rewarding staff for their collective performance is a great way of keeping everyone hungry.

Unless we can increase our turnover by 50m a year we are always going to need to sell a player or two. Regardless of what happens on the pitch our revenue steams have a ceiling.
It's also worth remembering that when we offer an improved contract it comes at considerable cost. We have some very talented players who probably earn much, much than fringe players at bigger clubs. Players like Fergusson and Enciso will quite rightly look for more lucrative contracts soon fir example.

This is so depressing to me. We are one of the better run clubs but with all the money in football we still operate at a loss without selling players to balance the books.
Surely as a group the Premier League would be wise to sit down and discuss player wages and getting them under control?

Oops , now corrected.I hope you teach those 30 kids that it's 'have', not 'of'.

Finishing 4th instead of 9th is worth about £11M in extra payment from Premier League merit payment, plus £14M from Champions League to start with. I read somewhere the TB has insurance on the bonuses that would be payable for achieving that too.
No it won't. They'd cost a lot, but we sometimes look at prices for our players through blue and white tinted specs.
About time! Just hope your joining NSC has come in time to prevent you ruining the education of dozens of young children!

Income of £174 million.. I think our fanbase has doubled if not trebled in the last 2 years.. income will surely go up!

Gate receipts, etc -- match day stuff -- are a decreasing slice of revenue, the further up the leagues you go.
More fans = more licensed apparel, and such, but there's nothing like the gold mine for overseas licensing and sales the Real English Football Clubs™ can expect.
So revenue goes up, but it won't double, or treble, either.
And the state-owned clubs have, for all practical purposes, bottomless cheque books.
Newcastle could just as well play in an empty stadium, the bums in seats are just a studio audience for broadcasting purposes.
Oops! Knew I shouldn't of* had that last glass of wine!
Anyway, I was being nice, not chucking stones!
* Actually it physically pained me to type that!

If we keep Mac and caicedo I think we’ll get top 4. Liverpool Chelsea and spurs are nowhere near us and transitioning. A full season with Ferguson and Mitoma plus whoever else comes in I just see us steamrollering sides
I think he might actually be the best thing to have happened to English football for a very long time.

Exactly, this close season is going to be the worst ever as we try to stave off rape and pillage of players and manager, guaranteed.
I am going to lap up the last few games before this happens, win, lose, draw and hopefully qualify for Europe in some form.
We’ll have all summer to wet the bed

It would be lovely to think he would give us a couple more seasons. Surely he must be interested to see how far he can take us before jumping to a megarich club. He's only 43.
Surely with our influx of Japanese tourists our match day income has tripled?
To the original question things maybe stretched a bit more than predicted but I cant see any major change in our approach after all it seems to have done quite well to now.

I hope so too. I just meant that I suspect a lot of managers and coaches will now be looking at what RdZ does and copying it. It is great to watch, effective and players must love it. That's an impact few managers can claim to have had on the Premier League.

Well I've just read that Chris Sutton says RDZ WILL take the Spurs job if he's offered it. If so Spurs would be insane not to offer it to him wouldn't they?
Christ it's going to be a shite close season with all these allegedly in the know pundits, who almost certainly know nothing other than what the voices in their heads tell them, in order to get more clicks.
