Newcastle Fans Forum: What The Answers Really Mean

7. League Positioning

DM (David Maudlin - Milburn Stand representative) stated that fans will question the purchase of their season ticket if it is simply based on an aim of finishing tenth.Answer: "The board accepted DM's view and agreed there is a misconception that the board wants the team to finish tenth. The board's aim is for the club to finish as high up the table as it possibly can, with tenth a minimum position for this season." What it really means: The board couldn't care less where the team finishes in the Premier League as long as it remains in the league with as little money spent on the team as possible. If the team does finish 10th or above, they will each receive a pat on the back and a 50p mix-up as a bonus. Vurnon loves his Rola Cola Cubes.
