Newcastle United Thread - 2021/22

Firstly they need to stay up and then establish themselve in the top six.

For that they won't need the best players but a talisman and then some decent talent that can help then initially in Jan, you have the likes of Isco, Coutinho, then you have Prem players but of contract in the summer cluns may cash in on Maitland-niles, Elmeny, Lacazatte, Rudiger, Christenssen, origi, all slightly better than what they have, plus they could easily aggressively go at clubs like leicester, west ham, spurs for their players.


First up is to stay up, then they should expect at least 3 seasons to be established as a top 4 contender with possible cup wins and then a title tilt.

They have to establish a much much higher income to establish themselves in the Top 6. They’d fail FFP if they spent a lot of money on players with just their £150m a year income.

Staying up is the first priority but then bringing in money is the next priority. City were fortunate that in our first 4 years after the takeover there was no FFP. Then we failed it when it first came in.

Newcastle are starting with FFP hindering them from Day One.

There's a lot of faux outrage (plenty of that about regarding more or less anything these days) about this deal as the UK trades with more or less any country in the world so why should a football related business be any different to any other type of business?

Chelsea are owned by a Russian mafia boss with incredibly strong links to Putin for example so what's so different to Newcastle being owned by the Saudis? If we as City supporters are to be consistent as we will defend our owner then we can't start bleating about who owns which club.

Imagine Putin buying a Premier league club. The outrage from all corners. Yet Salman is allowed to buy a club. The hypocrisy....

President Xi?

Think they'll give us 150 million for Ake ?

They would be able to have a decent investment it has been said of aroumd 200m amd not break the rules, so tge likes of Isco and Courtinho who both clubs want off there books could be got cheap and then as I said soon to out of contract players or targetting mid table clubs, they could improve enough, to no longer be relegation fodder, after that patience is needed.

Of course though any transfer they went in for wilp be automatically double in price

People forget, or don’t join the dots when it comes to Abramovich. Gasprom have been very influential when it comes to influencing football and Russian participation, first sponsoring Chelsea, then the CL before moving onto the Euros and then onto the World Cup.

All intrinsically linked back to Russia.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. Think they will try to get a big manager early doors, wouldn't be surprised to see mourinho there.
Also might be good for us to move some players onto when they are aging and wanting a final payday... can't see sterling going there though

A big manager you say....
The paper boy will be available in a couple of weeks.
