Dont buy what?
So Spurs, Wolves, Leicester, Sheffield Utd won't be fighting for Europe. Pretty sure Liverpool will try.
As Everton are not fighting for a title nor against relegation, couldn't it be argued that it's a good time to play them?
What does the best 6 teams from last season have to do with future fixtures? Why has my integrity got anything to do with answering a meaningless, loaded question which is intended to suit your narrative?
We definitely were. Most bookies, most pundits, most fans had identified us as among the favourites for the drop. Justifiably so; lost both our top goal scorers, replaced a top coach with a manager with one of the worst win records in the Premier League (for a manager with a decent number of games at that level).
We then somehow managed to steal points from unlikely fixtures, Chelsea, yourself, Man City, Man Utd. Not by being particularly good, but through sheer bloody mindedness. We're playing awful disjointed football and had the season completed, I'm sure we'd have ended up closer to the relegation spots as our luck ran out.

That the main concern for giving up so much liquidity would be fear of the FA not allowing them. Have the FA ever barred anybody before? And I mean we've had people with very very dubious records cleared through.

Well perhaps yes. Leicester have almost qualified though. I think avoiding sides at the bottom end of the league is the priority.
In theory yes, it would be a good time to play Everton (though we to are fighting for Europe as you put it, we are only a win behind some of the teams referenced above) but the caveat with Everton is they are trying to impress a new manager, and have been on a run where they are 5th post Silva and 4th since Ancelotti arrived, despite having a disproportionately difficult fixture list. I would say the time to have played us was under Silva, when we were performing as a side in the bottom 3, not the one who's spent over a 3rd of the season performing as a top 5 side.
There's a lack of integrity because you are refusing to answer a simple question. I am having the decency to answer what you are asking, yet you don't have the decency to do the same. Rather than continual asking somewhat irrelevant questions, why don't you answer the questions you've been asked and we can move the discussion forward?
As for the relevance, I would base a teams ability and overall difficulty primarily on where they finish an entire season, when they have played each team home and away once. Until you have done that, you have an incomplete picture, I'm sure you would agree to that, as it's fairly straightforward.
So for about the 6th time, lets see if you can have a bit of persona integrity and actually answer a question? Thats kind of how we work as a fanbase.

Thanks mate, I agree with you. It's funny that @PM123 doesn't seem to have even processed this as a possibility. It's funny how the Newcastle fans seem to disagree with you, as you make more of a fool of yourself on a rival teams forum. You lot never learn do you?

A newcastle fanzine called the "mag" holding Everton up as what not to do when you get money.

In fairness to them, thats a good starting point. We wasted a lot of money. What I'd say to them though, is the arrogance that you can blitz the league on easy mode is what contributed to those mistakes. You need to be prepared to be patient and put the infrastructure in first.
It’s interesting seeing other fans views on your own club. By and large we get viewed as a canny place but when it comes to football we’re a group of fat, deluded, self entitled, Geordie Nation horse bothering knackers and that our near neighbours are a bastion of well grounded fans who know their place.
The reality is, like every other club, we have a small, vocal, set of knackers and a large majority of normal fans who simply love their football.
Sky latched onto NUFC very early on, we came up with an exciting, good, side with a great back story with Keegan and Sir John Hall and his Geordie Nation guff. Since then everything about Newcastle fans has been exaggerated, it’s simply not true that we had average attendances of 12,000, 16,000-17,000 yes, and this was at a time when we had a half demolished, crumbling ground heading for the 3rd division when top Div 1 clubs weren’t doing that much better. Football in the late 70’s early 80’s was a different world. That’s not to say we’re the best fans either and what does that even mean? What is true is that we’ve won nowt for decades and our attendances, compared with others at the same time and respective divisions holds up very well.
Sky and the media through sustained stereo typing endlessly portray the extremes and this over time becomes accepted as the face of that club and fans. Scousers
Anyway, all most Newcastle fans want is for the club to be the best version of itself it can be with the resources it has, be that be in the PL or Northern League. Ashley turned us into an advertising vehicle, used fans as commodities and tried to display a shiny, useable veneer hiding a decaying, dying club behind the scenes.If we were relegated he’d saddle a bit more debt owed to him, we’d come up and the club would die a little more. You may have seen photos of players in kiddies paddling pools and ice baths in wheelie bins. He forced Rafael out when Rafael tried to change this.
As a fan base most of us are desperate for this to go through, it gets the cancer out of our club. We’ve no control over how or to who and we just want to be able to support our club again with some hope that we are at least trying to be that best version.
The hope is that whole region benefits, the Reuben brothers already own quite a chunk of land in the city centre and hopefully have plans to redevelop this area and a longer term plan on a wider scale.
Lastly, I don’t know of one Newcastle fan who actually believes we “deserve” this or believes we will win anything either.
Stay safe everyone.

To be fair, though when Chelsea and to a certain point City done that, they didn't, until lately have FFP to contend with, especially Chelsea. Also Blackburn and Chelsea had great clear runs at it, because their where not a lot of Billionaire owners knocking about.
