According to the Telegraph’s Luke Edwards, Newcastle are due a Premier League payment of £55m in a few days time, but Mike Ashley is STILL ‘reluctant’ to allow Benitez the chance to spend any of it.
This is from the same article that says Rafa WILL walk in the summer if he doesn’t get at least TWO signings between no and next week’s deadline – also stating that Ashley is refusing to sanction any permanent deals or significant spending until Benitez signs a new deal.
A loan deal for Lukaku looks imminent (providing he passes medical), but it’s a joke that Rafa’s scrambling for these types of deals – especially when it seems the latest chunk of TV cash is on its way to the club in a few days time.
Here’s a snippet from the Telegraph’s infuriating piece:
‘Newcastle will receive another chunk of television money worth around £55m before the end of the month, but it still seems as though Ashley is reluctant to allow Benitez to spend it.’
We’ve just been named 19th richest club in the world and we’re yet to spend the £30m plus received over the summer for Mitrovic and Merino.
Where’s the money gone Mike?!
What would make me happy for all Newcastle United supporters would be News tha the Fat BAS*ARD ASHLEY WAS DEAD.

Agreed – He’s a horrible owner and probably a shitty person if any of the media stories about him are true but wishing death upon him makes you even worse.

Ashley will go down in history as the man who wasted his chance to awaken a sleeping giant & become a legend in grordie folk law, he says he’s ploughed money in well where is it , you mean you loaned even though the club generates its own money so how can’t he use that to fund the club why loan the money, well thats because he wants all the revenue for himself and then also the loan repayments , what sort of business man runs his company down & stripps its assets , well obviously its a idiotic greedy fat **** who hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing in football & with business acumen like that im suprised he got sports direct off the ground i hope your forever haunted & taunted everywhere you go for breaking the dreams of the fans of the historic football club you fat ugly ****

We are not the 19th richest club.
We had the 19th highest revenue. THERE’S A DIFFERENCE!
You might think that a footballer on 20 grand a week is rich, but if he spends 21K then it’s fairly obvious that he’s not.
Earnings do not make you rich.
Yes – we are about to get 55 million which I assume is a 40% payment of the TV money. And yes – Ashley knows exactly where thats going – salaries, overheads etc.
I’m not sure where the idea came from that we have the 4th lowest salary in the prem, but that sounds like serious BS to me.

He should keep and get himself stuffed with it. If one man will bring it to the grave with him it is be Mike Ashley. Maybe he thinks he can buy his way into heaven?and he is stock piling all nufc earnings into coffins that will be buried with him.

Yes Brrrrrrrrrrian Ashley does know where the £55 million is going, straight into MASH holdings you cockwomble. How much are you being paid to push his agenda on here? £10 an hour? Better make sure you dont spend £11 an hour or you will have no money, although you could always pipe your gaffer fat Mike off for a few extra quid, thats if he can afford it of course. You are clearly on the pay roll and not an NUFC fan so jog on you bell end. Ashley out
