Most important is to get rid of Bruce and start getting some type of tactical ideas into place and get a manager playing to that "philosophy", which will be very rocky at first and also can go very bad at least until first transfer window as this current squad is not much better than what Bruce was able to get out of it, meaning staying just above relegation one.

will be interesting to see the type of players they start their investment in transfer market.

most likely is that they can only choose from top clubs bench/deadwood players and while those will be big upgrades still those are not the ind of players taking them to top4.

but I would like to see a manager like Conte given a chance.

I do hope they wont give inflated prices to our rivals for their deadwood. but its likely they will.

and FFP is still there, even if its dying and some other type of bullshit is about to be brought in by Uefa with luxury tax and other jokes.

i wonder what they make up to make the elite a closed shop as we have an official CL format change coming in from 2024 after they beat off the ESL idea for now at least.

Can totally see United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs going back to ESL idea if this Newcastle project really takes off quicker than it would be expected and they start to threaten the place of red fucks.

Yep, your last para is the key there isn’t it. 7 into 4 doesn’t go, so there will deffo be an attempt to resurrect something.

(And It’s certainly the tack the US bankrolled Athletic podcast stable are taking about this anyway).

Are you suggesting that because the Athletic is a US based company, "US bankrolled", it's stable of English journalists and producers from up and down the country are going to fall in line with the 4 US owned clubs and push their interests?

Becuase if so, I think we need to open up the tinfoil nutter thread.

Of course. What else did you think I was suggesting?

I just found it hard to believe someone, even on here, has such ridiculous paranoid delusions.

But then why would someone say something as nonsensical as "US backed" to refer to a private company and act as if all American's are in alignment over anything, let alone football?

Having listened to what I would assume is their flagship football podcast on the matter which was released today, the unanimity of view expressed on this issue across all the journalists makes me highly cynical about their line - virtually no attempt at balance or perspective. The likes of Oliver Kay and Adam Crafton who iirc are from red club backgrounds and who have the gall to patronisingly call out City fans for being biased and parochial when our club was involved in a takeover. They also made the point that ‘well you have to draw the line somewhere, and that line should be football’ when addressing the point about all the other links UK and US has with Saudi and other Middle Eastern states. And to answer you directly, yes I do absolutely believe it is very convenient for the athletic to take this line so wholeheartedly. I’m not suggesting there might not be an outlier amongst them - I’d guess their NUFC correspondent might be one - but I’m suggesting both the ownership of the athletic and the influence of the red leaning journalists does matter on this.

‘Ridiculous paranoid delusions’ - a bit ott that tbh. I think the hyperbole is coming from you on this.
