villalad21 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Unreal signing for them. Can't believe they actually got it done so fast. Those owners aren't messing around. Just can't see us competing with them with those oil funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they signed Trippier the same day we signed Coutihno. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I guess it was stupid from the perspective he got caught, but the real scandal is the fact that betting companies have managed to persuade the right people that there should be rules and punishments around people telling their mates that they're getting a new job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those owners aren't messing around. Just can't see us competing with them with those oil funds. Why though? City got in before FFP. PSG got some ridiculously inflated sponsorship from the Qatari government to the tune of almost £1b over five years, these owner-related sponsorships need to be looked at by the competition board in the premier league before going through. Newcastle are in a good place FFP-wise unfortunately (currently) but they can only spend within that the same as us, perhaps they'll blow their wad now to try and ensure survival but they won't be able to do this every window. Perhaps they'll bribe the FA or what not and get some dodgy deals through. Perhaps they will say **** FFP and just go on a spree, not sure what the penalty is for this tbh. But the rules in place should prevent owner wealth being the only and deciding factor in a club's success, let's just hope it works as we already have 2 of the best sides in the world as play-things for rich oil states and I can't stomach another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, our owners could spend the money but the rules prevent it, some think they are going to stick 10b in to it, nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you're right they can't spend at Citys level back in those days. But prepare for 80-100 M spend every single summer. You can't say they won't become a massive threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) How did everyone at the club not realise he’s pointing at the sleeve sponsor Kayak and not the club crest? Ahahaha.

The_Steve Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If you actually read the article Botman is keen on moving to the Premier League, not Newcastle exclusively. There’s a fundamental difference. clickbait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted January 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2022 Top trolling announcing Coutinho about an hour later on their big day. Let's get Botman in now, no idea who he is but that's irrelevant. They can have Cantwell and the worse Aaron Ramsey though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Newcastle have apparently shifted their attention to Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly, as their move for Botman has not materialised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
