Elstone interview in the Echo

Not open for further replies.

Newcastle United in the five years up to 2006/07 had earned, I think, about £450m. Everton, in the same five year period, had earned £260m. That gap is pure spending power. Newcastle’s spending power has been double Everton’s – but you ask the question would they swop what Everton have done over the past five years and the answer is of course they would.

"But no, a new investor is not absolutely crucial. We have performed near the highest level for quite a number of years now based on where we are, but I think it will get harder and harder.

Yea cos its great being skint and not being able to buy players when we NEED then. Bunch of complete clowns the lot of them. He should have said WE NEED INVESTMENT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He seems to be implying in one breath that money isn't everything, and then in the next that we need money....and then he starts getting fussy about the source of that money!

Maybe he should ask Dave Prentice to do another interview and come up with a less confusing set of principles? :blink:
 
Well i have been vocal in my support of BK, i thought he was doing a decent job trying his best, whilst that maybe true to a degree, the longer he stays at OUR club, the further behind we get to the top teams and the further up our arse the lesser teams get.

I wont demand him to sell, i will demand that he at least trys to sell. But now hes got a perfect excuse, with the entire country in recession.

"I think that the reputation and status and profile of this club, on the field, grows week on week, month and month," he added. "The rest of the game looks at us and thinks in particular what David has achieved. There’s a great deal of respect and in some quarters a great deal of envy.
"What I want to do is replicate that off the field. What I want to do is I want to be here in three, five years time, when this club is renowned and known with the same level of respect and credibility as it is currently on the field.
"I don’t think we’re a million miles short of that. I’m a great believer in our Latin motto because only the best is good enough and that’s something I’m intent on driving through.
"It’s something I’ve been striving for in the three-and-a-half years since I’ve been here and I’m confident I have the team around me that can live up to that. Where David is on the field I want to be, held in the same light, off the field."
