Newcastle United Thread - 2021/22

[crazyg]

I suppose the other thing is, in Newcastle, there is just one club, in Manchester.... well no need for me to type further! It might be easyier to attract a megastar or two if they are to be the stand-out star in the town rather than rubbing shoulders with DeBryner/Mahrez/Sterling etc.

Actually,there is only one PL club whose home ground is in Manchester!
Just like Grimsby Town, who play in Cleethorpes, our near neighbours play in the borough of Trafford (hence the name of the ground - a slight clue) and call themselves "Manchester". They are in the greater Manchester area, in the same way that Chelsea and West Ham are in Greater London, although only one of them can be described as "Cockneys". (Even though ALL clubs south of the M25 are known as Cockneys by us Northerners ;-))
Hope this helps.

Like The Noisy Neighbors?

It's not arrogance, City were a threat to Utd, Liverpool and the rest because of our business model, plowing money back in to the club to grow. Now Newcastle will have that same business model and will threaten the same cabal, but that business model doesn't threaten us, it will in time give us a competitor.

Just maybe they will fight the farce of FFP, the Saudi's have a different mindset to our owners.

People like these don't get involved with a business without been fully aware of the consequences.

I personally hope they smash FFP out of the ball park, I despise any legislation that stops investment, it's a disgrace.

And having views that oppose that is very scouse like .

Agree re the bollocks of FFP.

Can't see the Saudis steaming in and kicking off over FFP they won't be that daft.

Not sure why you've brought the scousers into the discussion.

This is Everton struggle.

A fine illustration of the reality. No good having money if you dont use it properly. When others post, "with that money City should win everything" they just show ignorance.
Ppl forget, originally it was the Sky 5, with Everton included in those that got the extra cash. It, um, "disappeared."

Having said all of the above it would be properly hilarious if they signed Salah at Christmas

..... And then were relegated :)

I agree with you. Other clubs should have no say in individual cases, but in the rules. But PL started down the consultation route then left the clubs high and dry. Fear of secrets coming out in court methinks.

Yeah, what has Roman Abramovich ever done for us?

I’m afraid we are:

Manchester United and Man City 'demand' Newcastle takeover emergency meeting

Newcastle United are heading into a new era after a £305m deal was struck up with Saudi-backed investors.

I agree with the sentiment of the rest of your reply.

if its in the M.E.N then its not true ? they even in that quote have its manchester united and man city cheeky fuckers

manchester city can not start throwing stones in the glass green house because it will make us look daft
i don't under stand why its news ? the premier league have rubber stamped it and all the clubs must have been involved in the process

i wish newcastle all the best and like Manchester city its a dream and like winning the lotto
but like many that have won the lotto its handling the pressure and money wisely ? because players are greedy fuckers and will say all the right things in getting that contract then down tools and become lazy

manchester city had to learn the hard way and we signed so many players for all the wrong reasons and its took one hell of a job by mancini to worm them out and build a team that could win silverware

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Shame on our club if we're siding with the likes of Utd and Liverpool over Newcastle

It's understandable unfortunately as another player at the table makes players harder to buy, pushes up the price, another club that could attract sponsors that may have come to us, COULD be detrimental to our league position etc.

As fans we look at things a little differently to the money men.

I dont remember us signing players for the wrong reasons, except maybe Robinho. True, they were some failures in the squad building phase but many successes such as Kompany, Zabba etc.
