You just can’t do that anymore with FFP. Yes they will no longer be a relegation candidate each season and will most likely become a midtable team pushing for top 6. But not much better than that anytime soon in my opinion. UEFA attempting to ban City from the CL and being bullied out of that by £££££ and a team of lawyers bigger than the club's entire academy put paid to the notion that these types of powers can be regulated or punished in any way. Mark my words, Newcastle's owners will basically be allowed to do what they want. Small fines here and there to keep up the appearance of there being a rule of law over the Premier League. In reality it's still a case of who's willing to throw enough money at a problem to make it go away. Edited October 8, 2021 by est1874 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted October 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2021 If you were a player at Newcastle now would you give it your all until January or would you phone in your performance? I mean apart from St Maximin who else is a new manager likely to keep? I think they will be in a relegation scrap regardless of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Boris would happily make sure that FFP isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah by that rationale they have been giving it their all under Bruce and are in the bottom 3 so change the manager it might work but it could get even worse. Those players they sign in Jan have to gel. Its going to be a relegation scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted October 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2021 £400m, Watkins, Mings, McGinn and Martinez. Covered by a 1 corner flag sponsorship deal for £500m, go to court if you dare. English courts lol......welcome to UK justice . ( at least this will show the general public how twisted UK law is ) Newcastle will win the league within 5 years and the champions league as well, probably before the league. Man cities owners will quit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted October 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2021 I remember when QPR were meant to be the wealthiest club in the country, or one of them. Given who’s behind this I’m sure it’s likely to pan out very differently but let’s see what happens. Theres just something about Staveley that screams bullshit so fingers crossed it pans out to be just that. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had been able to set the foundations. The job thats needed at Newcastle to make them challenge for even top 6 is on another level. FFP will make exceptions I’m sure but not to the extent Newcastle will need to become a decent team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll likely be offered a mahoosive bonus to keep the club in the league and then a sweet pay off when their contracts are bought out. But yeah, ASM is the only player with a realistic chance of being in the long term plans and they all know it. Will be a interesting second half to the season and a difficult job for whoever they bring in as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said before when players were moving to random places in China, if you earn £300k a week you could just about anywhere and be perfectly fine, Newcastle is no exception Apart from if city, psg, Chelsea, Madrid and Newcastle all chase the same player... If mbappe has the choice of Newcastle or Madrid next summer he's picking Madrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 You can get from Newcastle to London in about an hour and a half on a private flight that costs a pittance for a Pl footballer. If the money is right, top players will go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted October 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2021 Newcastle fans are being somewhat defensive and reactionary on twitter, not handling the attention and criticism of Saudi Arabia very well it seems. I'll be honest I never really liked them as a fan base and found them annoying, that softened due to seeing them go through everything with Bruce but they're now going to be unbearable.
