Lord Willard Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 2 minutes ago, Rightdm00 said: One positive to come from this will be that all the Top 6 will push desperately for a strict, enforceable salary/transfer cap. No way are they going to let Newcastle just waltz in and steal a CL spot without a fight. Villa is already built well for when that gets enacted. The key to winning under strict salary limits is to invest heavily in youth since their first couple of contracts will always be significantly less than an equally talented vet. Our youth setup has to be one of the best in the PL right now. UTV! You think Newcastle won't be investing in their Youth system? They could literally poach our whole system and kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Nothing is really going to change. They'll just actually spend some money and be a bit less shit than what they are now. Just join that group of what if clubs like us, Wolves, Everton, Leicester and West Ham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Another reason to avoid Scum Sports. The fawning of the Toon Oily will be unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 They have been down but they are not in debt , they didn't nearly go bankrupt and not had points deductions and ended up in non-league ..the way their fans go on about the bad times is absurd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 This is a massive blow for our ambitions. Can't see us surpassing Newcastle. Really can't. They will find a way to spend 200M every summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 It's not really a blow to us. It's one club. If anything It's more of a blow to Liverpool, United, Arsenal and Spurs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Man City taking our best players whenever they reach a certain level is bad enough. Newcastle now being able doing it will be even more painful. Edited October 7, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moustache of Teale Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Never mind us. This is a savage blow to the likes of Watford, Burnley and Southampton who would have been battling out with Newcastle to avoid relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Look how much we spent to just stay up and rebuild - that Newcastle squad is terrible.
