I don’t get this thought process. They will be a threat to us just like we have become a threat to United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. The latter currently scrambling around mid table.

Toon takeover will keep us on our toes.No time for resting on our laurels as in time the top 4 will be congested.

The only meaningful change I would like to see is an additional champions league place awarded to England. The premier teams should not be punished for having too many big clubs. It would stop a lot of in fighting and would not compromise competition or the integrity of the league.

Times change and so must the rules imo.

Thing to remember is Everton and Leicester have also got investors in their club and for quite a while now. And they haven’t exactly taken the prem by storm. Newcastle are starting from a very low base line and need to stay up this season to be able to attract the caliber of players they need. Even if they do this it will take them a very long time to assemble a squad that could challenge us and other clubs.

I don't think they'll be able to attract the kind of players to threaten us. They'll threaten 6th place, maybe, but I don't think they'll threaten the now established top sides. Where we are based is completely different to where they are based.

The top players will not want to go to Newcastle when they have the choice of the other top sides, and money won't be the factor as top players want to win things. I genuinely think their location will be a major stumbling block.

I think it will take a few years but they will become challengers. No one took us seriously at first but with the right management structure and a good plan it’s only a matter of time if you can afford the top tier players

a lot of folk on here wishing these lot well. probably looking for a bit of solidarity with all the negativity from the media. however, there is a possibility at some point they will come in for one of our guys.

wish them well, by all means; but keep a close eye on those bastards taking our assets.

You are right. Some of the press are stupid but others are essentially driven by racism. They have a selective view of the world where anything done by Arabs is seen as somehow devious while western countries can do no wrong. There are at least 20,000 jobs in North West England linked to Saudi investment at BAE. Are we going to turn down that investment? The hypocrisy of the BBC and the tabloid press is pathetic.

100% correct
 
Target 2 years in each Euro competition, attracting the next calibre of player and sponsorship each step.

Stay up/Top15 - 21-23
Top 10/Europe Conference - 23/25
Top 6/Europa League - 25/27
Top 4/Champions League 28/30


or get sponsors from home, cook the books and throw money at everything.. :)

I am all for the change at Newcastle - but would be against another CL spot

I would like to see the Redscouse, or the Scum drop out of the CL

After a decade or so they will become yesterday's clubs - fuck 'em
 
I wonder which players they might target as possible stepping stones, from us and from our domestic rivals. They might test a lot of clubs resolve. Maybe some older experienced players to help them get going
Stones, Sterling
Salah, Kane, Henderson, Lindelof, Lingard, Milner, Mata
Bale

I'm not sure, but I'm sure the new independent regulator that has been talked about can dissect the information.
 
The hypocrisy of the British media is astounding. Most of the larger media outlets, British high office, the Royal Family and big business have significant tie backs to Saudi Arabia, The Emirates and Qatar- but its not ok for them to invest in football clubs like City, Newcastle and PSG?

The simple fact is that the media are too reliant on 'numbers', they are desperate for the clubs with the biggest numbers in terms of fans across the globe to be continually successful. City, along with the likes of PSG and hopefully Newcastle, have thrown a proper spanner in the works.

The next lever to be used to limit competition will be the revised FFP rules- you can bet you bottom dollor UEFA/FIFA will find a way to keep the tradition elite, elite.

Is there any indication that they're going to spend shitloads of money and try and win the league like our owners did? It seems a bit odd that the Saudis only took over 80% with 20% going to Stavely and the Reuben brothers. There have been plenty of massively rich owners in the Premier League that are more than happy to just keep the club ticking over and rake in the money rather than spending billions to make it compete at the top.

This sounds like a carbon copy of our playbook.....

Uefa is already allowing for 5 spots throught the Europa League route. If you win Europa League you play in the CL next season. Spain has 5 teams in the CL this season because Villareal won Europa League last season ( Villarreal, Barca , Real, Atletico and Sevilla ).
Newcastle will probably try that route first to get to the CL.
 
Cannot spend more than 70% of turnover for wages. No way Newcastle can really progress unless they get 500m+ revenues overnight.

We had 105% in 2010/11 season.
