What happens when your staff can think

They go and do interviews and then run the stories on sites we own and don’t tell me

jason-duke-interview

Scary when you realise your staff are better at getting interviews with well known people than you are:) Well done all.

Black and Asian people to Join the BNP

The Equality and Humans Rights Commision who have lots of government money and lawyers looks like they have forced the BNP to allow in more people of different ethnic backgrounds. The original case is based on  “The BNP’s policy of admitting only “indigenous Caucasians” is a breach of the Race Relations Act”. Looks like the BNP may not contest it due to the legal costs involved to fight a case they will probably loose.

So assuming this happens, will lots of blacks/asians/chinese etc etc etc all be signing up. Obviously if they did then they could use there voting power to make the party collapse.

Here is the new symbol of the BNP:)

Just a thought

Jason and Doug Got to Leicester – Phew

All day yesterday Jason Baker had to cycle slowly behind Doug, so that I did not stop and so he could admire the view.  We eventually got to Leicester after 40 miles of cycling through some lovely English countryside and some nice back lanes ….as I did not let Jason decide what the route would be.

Jason and really Sexy DougJason and Doug at the start

The cjblog should have some more phots probably with me with less clothes on if their corporate people let it show…if not I will show it….alas I did not get any nudes on Jason. Maybe we should be catwalk models…ha ha ha

Cheers Jason for a great day of fun….can we do it again?…..We need to persuade Carl White that well known Birmingham City fan who is the CEO of Valueclick that he needs to allow his staff to have more paid fun……and not the stuff you used to get upto in amsterdam Carl:):)

Think we need to leap into some hot tubs or something nice Jas:)

Toon looks really bad…..ah

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.
