It's true that Krasner and co. got rid of about £60m of debt when they took over in 2004, but weren't we still hemorrhaging cash once they took over because some of the Ridsdale era contracts didn't expire till 2006 or 2007?  Weren't we still having to pay huge amounts to Danny Mills, Robbie

This was a much better performance and I can hardly believe we lost, as we had far more possession throughout. McCormack should have scored before he actually did, as he was put clean through and chipped it over the keeper but it came back off the post. Burnley's equaliser came completely

But the 'Fit and Proper Persons' test also applies to 'shadow directors', i.e. anyone wielding considerable influence behind the scenes while not formally holding a position at the club. So Cellino can't get round the regulations simply by saying his son is nominally the chairman. Tim W.

Is the problem with Stewart that he's a right-footed player playing on the left? He usually wants to cut inside to get the ball onto his right foot and on the few occasions he does try to get to the by-line he doesn't seem to know what he's doing. Tim W.

As someone who grew up watching football in the 1970s, I can't take anyone seriously when they describe Pardew's actions as 'violent conduct'. If Newcastle want someone to do a proper head-butt they need to unearth their former centre forward Wyn Davies. I don't know what he's doing these days,

Kenny was one of only two players to emerge from the Rochdale debacle with any credit, the other being Byram. He made a couple of good saves in that game which prevented the scoreline from being even more of an embarrassment. But I agree he's been a bit dodgy since then. Tim W.

And if Cellino should be deemed  to fail the Football League's 'Fit and Proper Persons' test, then presumably GFH would then have to sell for whatever someone else was perpared to offer. They would get less than the £25 million that Cellino is offering, which would leave them well out of
