Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

I am interested to see what this means for the ESL. Does another super club mean that the PL is now so strong it blows the rest of Europe out of the water when the next media deal is negotiated. The way things are going it is getting to a point where these supposed glamour ties like Man Utd v Barca or Liverpool v Real Madrid are losing relevance because 90% of the top players will be in the PL spread between 7 or 8 clubs so you will be getting the biggest games every week in the PL. Or will there now be another desperate attempt to push through the ESL to raise the drawbridge on Newcastle before it is too late.
 
Saka and DCL lollollollollol
In all seriousness if they are in a relegation scrap and we are safe I could see a bid for Rich. He would be a good profile for the first stage of their ‘project’. He also has a good attitude for a relegation scrap. Also someone like Douc at the age of 28 looking for one last big contract
 

Next summer is one thing

But this winter window, the best they can hope for is CL cast offs like Isco or injury disasters like Coutinho on insane wages

They wont be getting Conte or Zidane either
 
Some lateral thinking from RAWK:

"I’ll make a total U-turn on the way I felt only a few months back about the Super League. Anything to keep these nouveau riche arseholes out.
Hope the new signatories to the new Super league stipulate at least 2 European Cups won in 2 different decades. At least the red Mancs have got the credentials. That’s one place this lot, Chelsea and PSG can’t buy their way into."

They are not happy.

Not a chance Saka and DCL.

Two of the brightest young prospects in English football are not going to the Toon.

I think UEFA's reaction will be more telling long term - do they stick with the current rules or bring in much tougher ones that effectively neutralise English club dominance financially?
 
We will still be in the mix. Rather have newcastle in the top 4 than Liverpool.

When City blew up the old top 4 it led to multiple opportunities for us Spurs Leicester to all have a run at the top 4. We were in danger of a new top 4 solidifying itself with Arsenal and Spurs left on the periphery. If Newcastle do add to that mix it’s not a other team ahead of us, it’s another one of City Chelsea Liverpool and United that won’t be getting top 4 every season. The more clubs that can’t guarantee CL football to potential signings then the more ups and downs these individual clubs are going to have.
 
Tbf, on the basis of absolutely nothing, I think a Chinese state corporation will end up buying Everton after bramley Moore is complete.
I would not be surprised if a Chinese state actor bought us or anyone to be honest.

Or a Russian or any state wanting a footballing show piece.
 
You’re really not arsed? You wouldn’t be on here fuming if our reckless spending had left us with points deductions and massive financial penalties that leave us needing a fire sale and possibly relegated/torpedoing the new ground? I would be on here fuming at that.
Indeed. Have yet to meet a fanbase actually enjoying a relegationbattle
