OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Love how people are assuming they will go and just throw hundreds of millions at it in the beginning and it will work and they’ll end up top 4 in like 2 seasons. I have no doubt they will put some sort of cash in on better players and maybe get a much better manager because it is obvious they need it but I also don’t necessarily think Newcastle will be able to go from where they are to fighting for the top 4/6 without making some sort of other progress first in a period of 3 or 4 years first. People forget City finished 9th prior to be taken over and then 10th in the first season after being taken over in 2008. Then they got to 5th under Mancini who was a much better calibre of manager whilst Carlos Tevez almost single handedly fired them up the table that season scoring 20+ PL goals. It took City their third season to go from 9th to the top 4 under new owners, costing them the best part of £400m in transfers. On the contrast Newcastle are usually spending majority of the season struggling to stay in the PL with a squad that lacks any real and obvious quality in multiple positions with no genuine regular source of goals before getting a few results and luck from other teams around them. The top 4 teams are out of their reach by a mile. Even spending £100m in 3 or 4 windows, they’re still miles behind because they don’t have any real quality in there to work with. I think they’ll also have a plan and targets, to maybe do what City and ourselves have done around the community but the footballing sides of things, I think it will not be as easy as £500m in 3 or 4 years to bring them up to a top top team.

Jap Si. 50 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 As Chelsea fans we can't complain about money coming into a club. Football has changed forever and people don't care where money come from look at Twitter and Newcastle fans are delighted. Millionaire owners thing of past it's billionaires now look at Wrexham have two big Hollywood names invest in club small potato compared to Premier league team. Newcastle will be massive in a few years no getting away from it so you better get used to it. I have lived in London four years don't see children wear City tops and will be same as Newcastle but that could change if they buy likes of Mbappe in a few years cause the wages he will get offer will be eye watering. The wages of sin is death and soon football will die. People talk about top six it is top four now North London teams won't break in at moment but Newcastle will if this deal goes through.

nyikolajevics 2,695 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Newcastle is a great town, they have a beautiful stadium and many fans, they deserve a better team than this Ritchie-Lascelles-Longstaff-Joelinton nightmare. I don't know how serious the Saudis are but either way they will need a few years to be competitive. City's first signings after takeover were better players of midtable PL-teams(Santa Cruz, Lescott, Barry, Given) or secondary players from top sides(Bridge, SWP, Robinho, Vieira). I can see Castle will follow same footsteps. Warning_Hazard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how long they will take to erase the crucifix from the crest. Gosh I have meant in foreseeable future, not tomorrow. We just don't have unlimited funds nor smart board nor good transfer policy. The last is very poor from 2017 onwards. That is sad state of affairs at this club that may lead to the same situation that Arsenal is going trough. Awful transfer will cost us and we are selling talents to make funds for them. It will be done differently at Newcastle, City, United and possible Liverpool .In foreseeable future not this season. We are just Lukaku failing to score in couple games away from disaster. And the guy is already blaming on coach for his shortcomings. Arsenal may be the next. To even have chance to compete we need to be run with more capable people.
