Currently Taylor commands a £40k weekly salary but rumours the 24yr old player wants £60k. That is something the board have shrugged at and put the player on the transfer out [...]
A New Breed of Petulance
Monday, August 16th, 2010It sad that sometimes a professional doesn’t seem to grasp the fundamentals of what a contract actually means. We’ve seen it time and again during a season but at the start? I’m referring to players who seem to throw the dummy out of the pram with an aim for getting a ticket out of the [...]
Arfa-ing a Laugh!
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010It was supposed to be the deal of the season but it seems prized young talent, Hatem Ben Arfa is not heading to St James’ park after all. I’m not sure who started the rumour but it was almost a dead-cert that Arfa was going to be a loan signing. Just in the last couple [...]

Feel Good Factor Still At Newcastle United
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010Before I baton down the hatches on another season and take a summer rest, there’s been a few reports of general dismay about the financial situation at Newcastle. The club has released two statements over the past few days in attempt to clarify the situation at the club. I think its fairly obvious that Ashley [...]
Newcastle Look Forward To Calmer Summer
Thursday, May 6th, 2010Rather then looking inward, we can look forward as a team this summer. Gone is the self-pity and negativity – the rest of the two months are about planning for life in the Premiership.
The first thing that comes under attention is the transfer market. Chances are Hughton would be happy with the current team set [...]
Ashley Wants Wage Cuts
Thursday, March 11th, 2010It sometimes stuns me when I read what papers print without proper facts to back up what they say.

So you’d expect a certain degree of investigation work with the old journos [...]
