Embrace. We have to accept challenges or what’s the point in competing. Wouldn’t mind Liverpool if they weren’t gobby horrible twats

If Sane has any trouble understanding Pep, he hasn't got a hope of understanding the Geordies.If its true, it will be an interesting transfer window for them, imagine them out bidding everyone for Sane with 120 to 150 M, it would be epic.

Should we see this long term as a threat or embrace the competition?
Embrace the challenge. It will force us to improve our standards.

My only surprise is that someone didn't buy NUFC a lot sooner. Been a sleeping giant for years. Massive upside potential if investment is done in the right way. Wonder though if they'll get the same level as vitriol as we've had to endure since 2008 ?
The reason the Toon has been bought before now?
Ashley is a greedy twat, and has consistently overvalued the club.
Nah I like Newcastle as a club and a city. Went to uni there but this myth that Newcastle always had 50k per week is rather annoying.
Very similar story with myself.
Regards the 50k, if this is true and they are taken over. Social media will be a wash with anything remotely negative about them.

Both, but they'll be a threat to 'others' long before they'll be near usShould we see this long term as a threat or embrace the competition?
its 2019 and FFP so newcastle will only be at their level no matter who owns them ?? and it takes time to grow and build something forget instant success and top 4 places newcastle will be hard pushed to break into the top 6 the way football is setup today ?? it will only gives you a fighting chance and success if the right people are involved, and if the fans think its going to be easy then they will be in for a shock ??? round pegs don't fit in square holes ?? and players will only go to newcastle for the money and will be on a free ride and until you get rid of that mentality after the shock of having money to spend the hard work begins
it took 4 seasons and a strong manager in mancini to stop all the bullshit of signing so called superstars just wanting a free ride and he got in real winners players that wanted to go that extra miles for the badge and not the money

FFP in europe won't matter in the first few years as the main sanction is a competition ban and Prem FFP regs allow up to £100M losses one time as long as their is proof that future years will make up this shortfall.
They could initially make some signing in the 30-50M bracket to get themselves competing for 6-8 place, then build on that.
I doubt they are expecting to be prem champs in the first few years bit at least top 4 within 3, which is doable if, like us they invest wisely and don't spunk the money daftly.
Will all depend on who they appoint in the boardroom tbf.
