And since the likes of psg and city can get off scot free.....then so shall the saudi's Of course, the whole thing is corrupt, make no mistake footy has been corrupt at all official levels for a long time. Some hide it better , some dont care like in EPL. If it happens and start making serious moves they will end up with a fantastic international fan base in no time. They will do what they want and all will bow with that kinda wonga! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jap Si. 50 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Woman on radio asked does it bother you that if this was Saudia Arabia you couldn't ring this radio station she more or less say don't care just want Ashley out. Football fans don't give a flying fuck if team successful where money come from. 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.

Oldham going out of business but never mind hey. Something wrong in sport when States can buy clubs like PSG, Man City and now Newcastle small clubs all over England go to wall.

different level 1,056 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Well that's quite weird. I mean, why Newcastle? Absolutely nothing particularly interesting about the club. I haven't been in the city, but from what I've heard it's small, unappealing and the location is far from great. I can defnitely see what the new owners saw in the other big money takeovers (even with City to some extent) but what's exactly the appeal here?

After the late 90s run they had, you now have foreign fans. It is now where near Man Utd, Chelsea, City, or Arsenal, but you do see Newcastle kits in the US. They have a nice stadium. The price was a lot better than taking over a top 6 club. It will be easy for them to build a brand if they put the money into the team.

I'm following the EPL since the late 90s and yes, they had a couple of good seasons under Sir Bobby Robson and there was that time when they challenged United for the league in a season under Keegan, but I could hardly call that "massive" and "giant", lol. Not to mention the fact the haven't won any silverware since the 50s. Then again the size of the club was not exactly the focal point of my post.

laura90 556 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I expect Salah there. He may be their first pick. Maybe even Haaland if they double Real's wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you asking these questions is a bit weird because newcastle are a huge club in terms of everything but silverware, Theyre bigger than spurs. They set the pace in 94 and were top 4 for ages with a huge following. Closet rival is sunderland and before ashley turned up they were a quality side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, I don't think a couple of top 4 finishes in the mid 90s and early 2000s are good enough.

They are big traditional English club haven't got big following abroard but will soon have although they can't buy anyone till Jan and could be bottom of the league so will have work cut out.
