I don't think it's got anything to do with the liberal left.
The Mail, The Sun and The Telegraph had journalists attacking the takeover.
Those same organisations have criticised City too. It's not just the Guardian.
Unless they are going to fuck ffp and take it on in the courts later.....that would be funDoesn’t help when one of the co-owners says she thinks they’ll win the league next season
Its a tricky one. If that's the plan they're going to follow, I'm not sure they'll attract the right type of player. They'll only be able to get mercenaries who's heart ain't really in a relegation fightUnless they are going to fuck ffp and take it on in the courts later.....that would be fun
I call it cultural imperialism. You're only allowed to live by one set of supposedly liberal and Christian values. All others are morally abhorrent.You're right, though last count there are five opinion pieces in the Guardian about it.
For the right this faux outrage is more to do with cultural hegemony. Western values and the universal human rights we've constructed are a major component in the west's 21st Century neo-imperialism, our never ending soft power cold war, to ensure that the world is cast in our image and that western values prevail.
Incredible amount of pressure on Potter though, he would no doubt identify some good talent but if hes won nothing in the next 3 years but "plays some good football" he will get the boot.They should go for Potter. I don’t know if one of the current elite would ever go for him, but give him Newcastle’s funds and he’d get them playing really high quality football.
I think other clubs have been talking exactly the same thing about our club, or at least in the first 5 years or so: "mercenaries who's heart ain't really in a relegation fight".Its a tricky one.

Surely it would be better to get in 4 or 5 seasoned quality PL players who will see they comfortably stay up and then build gradually from there
We had a few decent players before the takeover who rose to the challenge. I am not sure that any of the current Newcastle squad fit that profile. I think it will be more difficult for them than it was for us to make the leap to the elite level but I am sure that they will be able to get some decent pros to sign in January and make it to the top half of the table.I think other clubs have been talking exactly the same thing about our club, or at least in the first 5 years or so: "mercenaries who's heart ain't really in a relegation fight".
The thing is, there's a grey area in that: some players will come purely because of money, some because they'll have a higher chance of getting some trophies (comparing to their current club), some because they will player with better players, etc. and behind all most those (good) reasons, we can't deny that money always play a big role!
And people may move because of "money" motivation, but if the club can bring good coach, good environment, good culture, etc., they people will stick and build up from that as you mentioned. So yeah, "money" is sometimes a good reason for moving too.
Therefore, I think it's no need to concern about "money" motivation, not to concern for other clubs, and not for our club too. It's always a part of our life.
with a nice pay out I suspect. Wonder where he will turn up next, Norwich or Burnley?Bruce gone
And was given a fair crack of the whip before getting the chop which while the sacking was badly handled was inevitable really.Hughes wasn't appointed by our current owner. Speaking of which, we've only appointed 3 managers in 13 years since the takeover
