I don't think the jump to top 10 is that big a leap to be honest. Newcastle are going to finish in there despite having a dreadful second half to the season. If Southampton end up selling a few players they'll find it hard to get there again. In reality we're fighting with a number of sides in a similar boat to us. The question is the coaching/management of the club going to differentiate ourselves from the others vying for positions 8-10?

Including the writing off of another 90m of debt in February.Paulie, the debt hasn't disappeared. It's not a gift from Randy, it's basically an I.O.U. that somebody will eventually have to pick up. All Randy has done is solve the immediate problem of the liquidity of the club.
The asking price will include the debt. Basically everything he's poured into the club. He may have to take a hit but I don't believe for one milisecond he's going to take a 90m hit. No chance.
If we'd played like we did today on just four occasions against teams who are no better than Hull - Palace, Stoke, Fulham and West Ham - we'd have probably got another ten points and been tenth now.
