Here's the key figures.
£76m Inherited debt
£144m Current debt
£68m Debt growth - hasn't exactly 'cleared their debt' like he tries to make out.
£0 Sports Direct payment for advertising
£8.4 NUFC paid Sports Direct in 5 years to June 2017
Why are they paying his company?
£354m Spent on players since 2007
£322m Recouped selling players since 2007
£32m Net spend on players since 2007
£2.6m Average annual net spend
This is pathetic for a PL club tbh.
£146 Season ticket increase (Gallowgate/Leazes)
£189 Season ticket increase
£82m Increase in annual media income
£6m Increase in annual wages paid
Revenue up far more than playing costs yet their debts are growing.
There's nothing to defend him about.
I think he's the worst owner in football. He is the Dolan of premier league owners.
