That'd be an upgrade on Mike Ashley who's basically refused to spend anything for years. But yeah, I'd expect them to be more like Everton in terms of spending in the short term. Having said that, we don't even know if these new owners are anything like ours or Chelsea's in terms of ambition. There's just an assumption that because they're Saudi, they'll be chucking money at the club. But yeah, I don't think anyone can do what us or Chelsea did anymore with the new FFP rules in place.Can't they only spend the money they earn like everyone else? Their standing and trophy Winning history is even worse than ours on takeover so top players will need some convincing to sign
I reckon he'll last about a day before being replaced by someone capable.Steve Bruce must feel all those years of personal insult are about to be made worth it…
Northumberland is amazing and appeals to me - but I'm middle aged and like pubs and walking my dog. Not sure if it will appeal to multimillionaire young footballers. Newcastle is a good night out but it's a goldfish bowl. Manchester is a hard enough sell to top players, I think Newcastle will be 10x harder.Can see a project like thst appealing to some players. It’s a beautiful part of the world if you’ve got serious money, especially in Northumberland.
If there’s a Saudi consulate in Newcastle and he gets an invitation, I fear the worst. :-oI reckon he'll last about a day before being replaced by someone capable.
That was the strangest assassination attempt. They must have known that the Turkish folks had bugged every single room in the building, including the torture chambers. To imagine that the torture and the killing were being listened to in real time in Turkey and in other interested countries is both chilling and comedic.If there’s a Saudi consulate in Newcastle and he gets an invitation, I fear the worst. :-o
They’ll take one look at his face ....and give him a billion to sort it outI reckon he'll last about a day before being replaced by someone capable.
Robinho more likely.They could sign Haaland as a statement signing on shit loads of money and build a team around him.
Mark Hughes is available... ;-)I reckon he'll last about a day before being replaced by someone capable.
This isn’t about Newcastle for me. This is about United and Liverpool, and the Premier League just bending over for them with whatever they want.If it was 15 years ago I would have wished them well and 'supported' them against the red shirts just like the mid 90's when they were contenders and being bank-rolled by Sir John Hall........ however so much bitterness from them regarding our luck with owners that I'm happy to keep them where they are
Good luck to them I say the more clubs to upset the scum scousers and spurs yank owners the better!
Be interesting in all the new sponsors they get and who they’ll be because to compete with ffp you need plenty of sponsors or like us one season losing was it 197m they’ll be losing that for every year plus you need a lot of luck to get top four get the right manager the right players in and we all know money helps but it doesn’t guarantee too four or trophies!
You’re probably right, upon reflection.Northumberland is amazing and appeals to me - but I'm middle aged and like pubs and walking my dog. Not sure if it will appeal to multimillionaire young footballers. Newcastle is a good night out but it's a goldfish bowl. Manchester is a hard enough sell to top players, I think Newcastle will be 10x harder.
