And if the Saudis ever did sell (can't see why they ever would) it would likely be to another mid East nation. When did we last finish above Man United? Have we ever finished above them in the PL? Yes, I believe l Newcastle are so far gone now that we will not finish above them again. Just as we haven't finished above Man United for decades.

They may even do it this season. In order to finish above them we will need to finish at least 3rd. That's not going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm the same But I still think they'll finish 5th or 6th The PL has a wonderful way of being "exciting" because someone is up there challenging for the top 4 and then come may its the usual faces Leicester and West ham have both been where Newcastle are in the last few years and both fell short, the big boys will get their shit together and catch them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a matter of time now and very different to the Leicester and West Ham challenges. I do agree that they may not finish top 4 this season.

The met area has a population of 280,000 and most of em that can must be going there as it is. Coventry has a similar size fan base, Newcastle's chances of increasing their support in the local area is pretty limited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know how to respond to that. Newcastle have fans all over the world, like we do, and they get 55,000 a week as it is. They will attract a hell of a lot more fans now that they are shoe ins for European football and competing for trophies every year. Coventry are a tiny tin pot club with several other larger clubs nearby. They aren't on the same planet as Newcastle, Villa, Leeds etc in terms of fan base.

Fan base , to me , is people in there local area that could become new fans. Undoubtedly Newcastle have more fans than Cov but they haven't got much scope to grow been located in an area that's relatively remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I suspect this is right, and that we're doomed to finish 20+ points behind them for the foreseeable future (which might be several decades).

It’s your global fanbase that dictates everything. How many millions of fans you have in India, Africa, China and the Middle East that sponsors can cash in on is what keeps the ‘big six’ above the rest. A catchment area of 250,000 British people is a drop in the ocean compared with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Man United have a fan base of several hundred million and that, sadly, helps them stay relevant even when they are (by their standards) shit.
