Actually if anything it is too big! They have been getting 17k in a 20k stadium in the Premiership. When in the Championship they had crowds of 10k.
The problem is that the stadium quality isn't good enough with lack of corporate boxes etc to bring in money. What they need is a modern stadium with good facilities and corporate boxes of similar size to the current ground maybe 24k max.
The guy on the radio is wrong it doesn't go straight to the club. Like with the PL holding back the Sky money, they will also hold back transfer money to pay other clubs.
Every team is a selling club. Just look at how Man Utd were forced into letting Ronaldo go.
That doesn't mean I think Lambert will go or is even on Newcastle's radar. The Mirror story is ********.
Yes, he is a good Championship player and regular in a Palace team 3 points away from the play offs, so would shine in League One. As he has done in the past for Colchester.
This is made up to quicken the Jermaine Beckford to Newcastle transfer. So don't worry.
It is also impossible as would also have to get around rules about numbers of teams you can play for in a season no matter what rubbish the Mirror says. Plus I really can't see Mr Cortese upsetting the fanbase and agreeing to let him go so soon after buying him when Saints really don't need the money.

Jose Fonte's girlfriend is famous "apparently"

Can't say I've ever heard of her. But she's made OK if that qualifies someone to be famous these days!
At least tell us how many deals?
Obviously the way you put it means more than one. So probably Fonte and Danns. If it is three then maybe Elliot Ward aswell. Would be amazing if it was 4
