Adfero News Competitor?

What we are doing written by Doug Scott

We do loads of news on sites like www.mns.co.uk, www.carrentals.co.uk, www.fly.co.uk, www.recycle.co.uk and lots more sites and wonder if anyone would be interested if we setup a service to run news for people.

The service would involve managing everything from setting up a subdomain, getting content written and getting it into google news.

Would anyone be interested? If so add a comment and we will get back to you.

Cheers

I am always a great beliver in that work and effort does more than any talent or skill…..and when I came across the story of how Billy Bragg got him break in music I thought wow.

Here we go how simple things work:

Bragg decided to act the part of a TV repair man so as to get in front of Peter Jenner a well known person in the record industry.

Bragg whilst listening to the radio heard John Peel say he was starving whilst live on air, so Bragg took a mushroon biryani to the BBC studio and Peel in return played a song from Lifes A Riot.

Anyway jibberish over

Toon looks really bad…..ah

Sport written by Doug Scott

Aswell as the poor old Toon being relagated having looked at some of their finances things get really scary…….here are some things to watch for at your football club…….scary observations:

1. Many players get loyalty bonus’s if they see out there contracts, normaly a years salary
2. Many clubs pay for players in in stalments at the end of each season, most urchases are setep to have 4 X 25% payments

Lets look at what is about to happen at Newcastle:

1. Who is leaving and out of contract and what were they estimated to being paid per year? Owen (£6 million), Viduka(3 million), Lovenkrands, Cacapa and Edgar (£5 million combined). So lets call it £10 million being conservatively
2. Over the past 3 to 4 years Newcastle as a club has spent over £100 million on players, so they are probably due to pay an installment of £20 million plus at the end of June ( the end of the football year)

So now the players out of contract have gone, but we still have a load of players being paid a fortune. Reports were that 15 players were on over £50K per week, and only 3 of them will have gone as they were out of contract. We now have to persuade some other players to leave. Now as they have not asked for a transfer we as a club have to pay them their loyalty bonus…..lets say another £10 million to shift some of them on. As they also have now left the club we have to settle the debts on the transfer instalments……lets call it £25 million. Mind you we do get some money back from the transfer fee…lets say £25 million and not the £100 million we paid for some of them ( think Alan Smith bought for £6 million, sell for £1.5 million, Coloccini bought for £10 million, sell for £2.5 million).

The club will also have to subcidise some of the players wages who left the club as no one is going to pay someone like Alan Smith the reported £60K per week he is currently on. So lets say it costs the club another £10 million over the next 2 years.

So basically in the next month or so NUFC  have to pay £10 million to players and £20 million to other clubs and in the next 2 years shell out another £10 million to old players who have left the club.

Total spend after revenue from selling players £40 million. Balloon payment for being relegated £15 million.

Result loss of £25 million and no quality players…but club financially ok going forward as long as we stay in the Championship.

The other option is to not sell anyone, bank roll the club to the tune of £30-50 million and hope that the players at the club are good enough to get promoted, which I don’t think they are. If the club does not get promoted then sell everyone and loose £40 million.

Anyone in Dubai want to buy a club?????

Course we could be Liverpool and have a even bigger wage bill and bigger debt and yearly losses.
