Well actually, LFC have a global fan base and we'd probably get a lot more mileage out of it than just you.So you would rather have a multi trillion dollar wealth petro dollar fund take over a football club, crashing into the English and European elite within 2-3 years, adding another English club to the cabal, just because you want to see ONE person's reaction from it.
I wonder how long that lasts though when Newcastle start winning trophies with regularity, being in the expanded CL annually where SIX English clubs will be qualifying in 2024 onwards, buying star players you wish and dream you could see wearing an Everton shirt but that will never happen because Newcastle all of a sudden have triple the turnover of Everton and the like thanks to Saudi state owned companies like ARAMCO etc helping paying £400 million a year in wages and having £50-£60 million pound players in every position twice over.
Okay Mate.
Newcastle Utd (and Viz)
- Thread starter Del-boy
- Start date
They're getting excited again.
Granted, Edwards is usually the one to pour cold water over it but I still don't see how they prove the Saudis and PFI aren't the same thing. They just are.

That's it then it's confirmed the PL cabal has gone to 7 clubs now, those dreams of winning trophies and getting back to former glories just got even more distant now.
NUFC turnover will go from £180 million to £600 million in 3 seasons, I bet the first commercial deal will be the ARAMCO stadium sponsored for about £100 million a year, the laughing stock that Newcastle have been for decades is no more, they'll have a PL title within 3 seasons and maybe Conte, Mancini or Simeone managing them to that title win.
Another team with a 1 title getting oil money, they'll be on 9 league titles in quick time, let that sink in.

This is exactly why ffp was brought in. To protect the sky brands at the top from any challenges.

I really have fallen out of love with modern football tbh. As you say it's a closed shop, and i honestly think there will be major changes to the sport required, before Everton become a major player again. I get a lot more enjoyment, from sports like aussie rules and ice hockey nowadays.
In those sports it actually can be enjoyable, watching a struggling team try and get it all together. You have a salary cap as well, and the worst performing teams have first refusal on the best upcoming players in the draft. The current champions in the aussie rules, were the joke of the competition less than 10 years ago. Maybe the new stadium might help to change things, but i think Everton will be just a regular top eight side for the forseable future. With FFP it's impossible to break into that elite.
20 soon enough mate. Let that sink in.

Lets be honest the league will eat in on itself in the coming seasons anyway.
Look how competitive the top 10 sides are these days - throw in another and the reality is you could own a club, spend £100 million every summer just to finish 9th.
At some point clubs owners will get bored - totally different to when their was just a top 3/4 and a wealthy owner pretty much guaranteed you entry into the Champions League and the riches that it brings.

Totally agree.
I still go and it is purely for the social aspect. We all know with 90% certainty who the top 6 will be and 90% certainty how the bottom 4 will be.
The media do not want teams like EFC and THFC upsetting the status quo. They need the usual suspects to be successful for overseas TV sales.
Boring.

Couldn't agree more. If every team has billionaire owners there is no guarantee of success.
