£12m loss for Geordies
Newcastle United slid to a £12m loss last year after heavy investment in players and a fall in revenues due to its failure to qualify for Europe.
The result is a reversal in financial fortune for the Premiership club which made a £620,000 profit the year before.
Revenues fell by nearly £4m to £83m as an absence of European football reduced match day ticket sales.
Expensive new signings such as England striker Michael Owen, bought from Real Madrid, also pushed up costs.
