Newcastle United Thread - 2021/22

They fill their ground regularly watching shit. Good luck to them.

Would they if Old Scaffold was 3 miles away?

There is another reason why reputation matters. That is how people you want to do business with perceive you. If potential sponsors, players, managers, financial backers etc etc think you are dodgy, they are much less likely to agree to any proposals you make. Pep, for example, needed reassurance from Khaldoon that we would see off UEFA. We don't know how possible replacements for Etihad view us. If they are not familiar with the ins and outs of the Pl, they might shy away. Henry Winter called Levy a shrewd negotiator. I beg to differ: people are wary of dealing with him. At least 6 managers said no to him when looking for Poch's successor. The Kane business simply confirmed the view that he was not to be trusted. It all comes back to harm you in the end.

There is zero evidence that it has impacted our ability to attract sponsors etc though. Each year we sign big commercial partnerships, we have the CFG which is going strength to strength and we sign world class players each summer.

I don't see anything wrong with Pep speaking to Khaldoon, the UEFA battle was before his time so it's reasonable to have the conversation.

The reports that the other 19 PL clubs objected to this takeover is disappointing from a city perspective. We have had to deal with nothing but the hateful eight and the despicable old top 4 objecting to our every effort involved in toppling them. To object to a bit of meaningful opposition from our north eastern neighbours has elements of hypocrisy which don’t rest easy with me. I suppose we didn’t want to stand out from the rest of the league and give them a stick to hit us with

I agree.

However, I expect this is more of a loose headline than a full picture. From the little that i've read at least. The questions to the PL from other clubs was on 'the structure of the consortium' of the body down as owners. Don't really know any detail, but it doesnt read like it was an objection to the principle of a takeover or even who was getting it, but a structure within the set ownership rules.

Think we will see this happen more often, I would think that any comments in which Khaldoon or any member of the City hierarchy mentiones anything to do with it, will be consistent with the comments they made about our own takeover and investment. They will be diplomatic, respectful of PL/UEFA and the rulemakers, but ultimately seemingly supportive of Newcastle ownership, with a hint that our own model is a good one. And there will be headlines that will claim behind the scenes objections to it which will look like hypocrisy on our part. There probably will be a real duality on some level. But more so, the media will be looking to paint a picture of Newcastle ownership as unwelcome, and we will inevitably get caught in the broadbrush.


That is just my comment on how I see that particular headline btw, I'd have no issue claimimg hypocrisy of our lot if I saw it that way.

The media love to spin a story with broad strokes when they can however the clear use of the number 19 with reference to PL clubs is libellous if we are not included. As for future chairman or even manager comments very few come out statements like “it is a bad day for football” (Klopp), most are diplomatic or silent.

 

[Keeper!]

Total respect for sunderland fans, the fact that newcastle fans are saying sign the likes of mbappe, haaland & salah should keep them laughing a lot longer at the deluded geordies :)

Nothing wrong with dreaming, we were in the same position when the Sheik took over.

If you think the Saudi's are involved to make the numbers up think again.

They will do what it takes to make Newcastle a great club and a serious threat to the present top 4 , including ourselves.

It will take time, mistakes will be made along the way BUT they WILL BE A SERIOUS THREAT.

Competition will make us stronger and reduce complacency if we ever had it.

Good luck to the barcodes, it makes the Premier league even better.

They won't be a serious threat.

i don't think manchester city would be one of the clubs moaning ? its just the media spinning shit because the premier league voted to agree for the take over of newcastle ? maybe its the 19 supporters clubs and not the club itself

am ok with it and good luck to them
let's see them take all the shit from the FFP to the bent officials doing them over game after game
manchester city have learnt to beat the system and its the hardest lesson when you have more money than the rest

 

[Keeper!]

They won't be a serious threat.

Rubbish, they will be a major force, it will take time but the Saudi's are serious players.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not under the current FFP they won't son.

 

[waspish]

So 3 years Everton have spent what is it 400m? And Newcastle are at a lower level and once you spend that money if turnover isn’t spring 400m plus your in the shit with ffp like Everton were this summer just look who they got a loan and a 1.5m player! There are just to many rich owners in the league for them to make it in the next 5 years maybe 10 years if everything goes to plan.
