Llambias happy with Newcastle's finances
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Newcastle yesterday revealed accounts which showed they were close to breaking even. The operational loss for the year ending June 2011 showed losses of £3.9m, down from £33.5m the previous year. Wages accounted for 60 per cent of the turnover, which has risen to £88.4m.
"The club's financial results are extremely strong," said managing director Derek Llambias. "We can now count ourselves amongst very few clubs across the UK and Europe who are operating at close to break-even."
The club yesterday completed the signing of the French winger Romain Amalfitano from Reims on a three-year deal.
