The club have not won a major trophy since 1969 and are currently mired in the Premier League relegation zone. "Regularly" means high wage players. It will be interesting to see how they get around whatever FFP is these days. I have read that the high ticket sales that Newcastle has will help them ramp up their spending. I do not really understand how that correlates with FFP but it has been mention quite often in the past two days. What is it with attendance and ticket sales that boosts how much you can spend?

No CL trophy yes, but that is their ambition and will continue hard to get it. Also while breaking PL records left, right and centre. The board better put themselves together otherwise Newcastle has the potential to overtake us. That's strange because I'm close friends with a City fan and he thinks bar 2017 their transfer recruitment team have been an absolute embarrassment.

I beg to differ. Mahrez, Cancelo, Rodri, Dias, and Torres. All these players made an immediate impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His main argument is they've also got caught with their pants down more times than an elite club/team should. Jorginho, Ronaldo, Alexis and Fred the main examples, the latter two may have turned out to be a blessing in disguise but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I would say with City is at least the manager and board work in tandem on transfers. The players bought may not always be right but at least they're bought to fit the manager's system and style of play, not one side just buying whatever shiny toy out there.

Thank God someone snapped Roman out of the "Lampard love" otherwise last season would have been another waste. Also Man City are doing a better job than us. No CL trophy yes, but that is their ambition and will continue hard to get it. Also while breaking PL records left, right and centre. The board better put themselves together otherwise Newcastle has the potential to overtake us. I don't think Marina, Cech etc. can be blamed for the transfer ban. I believe that was more on Michael Emenalo than anyone else. Fulham Broadway and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
