£100 million gets you Jack Grealish. It'll take them a long time to build up their squad to get anywhere near the top clubs. I think the Newcastle fans are about learn just how many obstacles have been put in the way of teams trying to break up the cartel. At the moment they seem oblivious to the facts.

81/82 season,the one before Keegan signed as a player,their average crowd was 17,000.
The gate for their last home game was less than 10,000.

Whilst I agree with this sentiment I think Newcastle are a big club, but in a different way to a lot of English big club. The red tops develop their fan base from way beyond the boundaries of their respective cities whilst the Georgies are geographically quite isolated from the rest of the country and it shows. The localised mentality is both a strength and a weakness it means they can pull on a passionate fan base of 50 thousand plus but outside of Tyneside there is only a passive interest. I actually hope I am wrong and they knock the rags and the dippers further down the pecking order, but I have no doubt they will add to the entertainment package of the premier league come what may and even if they take trophies off us I welcome it.

If I am honest I have little time for the fan of newcastle, the cunts deserted them in the 80/90s whe they battled in the senond dltier and only returned when Keegan popped up, since some myth about a proud loyal fan base exists and this club of great history whem really they are on a par woth stoke and burnley.

I understand why some wealthy backer would choose them, bit they are fuck all like us

They fill their ground regularly watching shit. Good luck to them.
 
WWYWYWS applies 100% to Newcastle's mythical support ,as the only club in a large city they are bound to attract a reasonable following , but its only since they have had a few seasons in the premier league that they have bothered to turn up , and usually to watch a decent opposing team rip their "local heroes" to pieces.
They might be the richest club in the world but it would be ironic if they are bragging about ths whilst playing Championship football next season, every possibility because their current team is flaky as f*ck

Best of luck to them. Great fan base. Watched shit for years. Shit chairmen. They deserve it. BUT no guaranteed success. City have developed into an incredibly well run cub based on good decisions all along the way which goes hand in hand with financial input. We are light years ahead.

It was interesting reading how they are looking to copy some of our ideas, the ultimate form of flattery.

The idea that every encounter we have, every transaction we make, must be weighed up along the lines of some moral code dictated by Amnesty International or the BBC is absurd. Don't buy Jaffa oranges, don't buy factory farmed eggs, don't holiday in Dubai, that moral maze never ends. But it goes much further, now white folk must convulse themselves with the collective guilt they all share courtesy of the behaviour of their ancestors! This is the road to madness.

I would suggest that an infinitesimally small number of Newcastle fans might give up going to St James Park because of the Saudi connection. I don't know of any City fans who did the same in 2008, but presumably there might have been some, considerably less than 1% of fans of both clubs I'll wager, but whatever the number, that doesn't make 1% right and 99% wrong.

For fuck sake we sent British troops to Saudi 30 years ago to protect the country! Yet we expect the Geordies to adhere to a higher standard because the Public Investment Fund bought Newcastle United!

Give over.

Couldnt agree more.
 
Should Saudi be allowed to own a British football club? No
Am i completely happy with our clubs ownership? No
Will another club being owned by wealthy owners be good for City? Probably not it’s certainly not better for us.
Is dragging up attendances 40 yrs ago sad? Yes
 
The reports that the other 19 PL clubs objected to this takeover is disappointing from a city perspective. We have had to deal with nothing but the hateful eight and the despicable old top 4 objecting to our every effort involved in toppling them. To object to a bit of meaningful opposition from our north eastern neighbours has elements of hypocrisy which don’t rest easy with me. I suppose we didn’t want to stand out from the rest of the league and give them a stick to hit us with

Our owners and fan base are as much guided by self interest as any other fan or club never forget that.

It’s a goldfish bowl up there, players used to live either on the Darras Hall estate and latterly Wynyard or Billingham ((John Hall former Newcastle owner was involved in the former project).

The players can’t go into the town without being mobbed, day or night, it’s a relatively small City Centre but the girls do wear next to nothing on a night out even in freezing temperatures :-)

I stayed in Wynyard for 10 months as I was working up there.
It’s a very very very nice place to live.
 
I know there are moral issues at stake here but there are one way or another will all owners of Pl clubs. And they are valid. But fuck the red clubs!!!!
 
Redcafe thread on this now...

Total respect for sunderland fans, the fact that newcastle fans are saying sign the likes of mbappe, haaland & salah should keep them laughing a lot longer at the deluded geordies :)
