Kind of funny that Rafa left them because of lack of spending... Edited May 22, 2020 by villalad21 Link to post Share on other sites

Next 5 years though will just mean another one we'll have to try to finish over in the top half once we start signing some good players. Think we've finished above Newcastle once in last 8-9 seasons which is pretty dismal considering how bad they've been last decade. Link to post Share on other sites
Zatman 25,487 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Newcastle can have a billionaire if want but truth is its a slim football market. Football already has 2 rich sugar daddy teams, maybe 3 including Chelsea. Count this with United, Liverpool, Juventus, Inter, Real, Barca and Bayern Really not that many great players to go around Link to post Share on other sites
Demitri_C 12,942 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Its true though. Even with big money its gonna be hard for them to get a team as good as city liverpool chelsea and even united. United are improving and i think they will be challenging in top four very soon Link to post Share on other sites

Think we've finished above Newcastle once in last 8-9 seasons which is pretty dismal considering how bad they've been last decade. Personally think it will even out. If you have Newcastle consistently making top four at the expense of spurs, then their top players likely won’t want to stick around as long and therefore they become weaker and easier to compete with in the long run. We don’t have the money at the moment to even compete with Man City’s, Chelsea’s, United and Liverpool’s. So I don’t think this effects our “plan” which effectively looks like a poor version of Dortmund’s at the moment, but to invest in youth and develop rather than buy ready made stars. Think the likes of spurs Everton etc. Will be pi**ed about this though. Specially Everton. Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 174 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Will be interesting to see how others teams owners react to this. in the same way that you could argue the Man City takeover lead to some disinterest from Lerner, I wonder if Abramovich is going to be happy to keep ploughing money in, or the Everton owners. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

villalad21 6,979 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Their fans deserve the club to go bankrupt for applauding and encouraging this deal.
