Newcastle's £200,000 Gibraltar operation quizzed
Gibraltar News From Panorama, August 21, 2002
Newcastle United look set to face a barrage of questions from investors after it was revealed that Douglas Hall is being paid more than £200,000 to run a club operation in Gibraltar.
Mr Hall is receiving £165,000 on top of his £35,000 a year non-executive director's salary for heading up Newcastle United (International) Ltd.
He is also receiving an undisclosed amount in expenses for running the worldwide marketing company based at Gibraltar's Europort in a suite of offices leased by Mr Hall's family firm, Cameron Hall.
Fans and football industry analysts have both said they would expect shareholders to quiz the publicly-quoted club about it, reports the Journal newspaper.
