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
