Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

In a few years the title will be fought out between Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle. Three clubs that with the greatest of respect, shouldnt be anywhere near the top table of the english game based on sporting integrity, merely having the most money to hoover up the talent.

The likes of United and Liverpool will have no chance against them so what chance do Everton? Leeds? Arsenal? The clubs that should be at the top table based on consistent sporting achievement over decades.

You realise that Usmanov and Moshiri have more wealth than Abramovich?

Chelsea are in a good position due to their location as well of course.

United have an enormous global fanbase and will funnel cash in from all the marketing.

The thing is, how long would it take newcastle with all the spending rules now...id say 7-10 years.
 
What disgrace for the Premier League to have allowed a murderer to purchase and own a team. I guess they have forgotten about the killing of Khashoggi, as it was MSB the one who ordered the murder that resulted in the journalist's death. But it seems Newcastle fans seem are delighted to have a murderer as their new owner. I guess all they care is about his money not his values or assassins' tendencies. If I were one of their players I would be scared to play for them and make a mistake on the field then get chopped and killed for it.

No one can accuse us of "buying" any of our 9 titles. We won them, fair and square through sporting integrity and I'm happy about that.

If you are referring to Everton I would say we had a financial advantage in many of the trophies that we won. We were after all referred to as the mersey millionaires. I have never had a problem with investment in other teams due to the fact that Everton were historically a highly financed club.

You can never say never but we are a prime example why you shouldn't go scattergun spending. Buy in big name players on mercenary terms then you should understand they will be first to go hiding when the war starts.

If they go down that route I will be laughing my tits off.

That's what they'll do though. Can clearly see it being an owner who knows nothing about footy, throwing cash to bag names and wondering why they don't come.

City did it for ages. Until they bagged Tevez and got Mancini then won the FA Cup...then the league the following year. A good 3 seasons in.

That's why I couldn't see Benitez going up there , if you put a tea towel on Rafas head he would be the spit of Khashoggi

They’ll get used and abused by the big name agents to offload names to start with.

Rubin and Staveley are attention seeking clowns and I can see the Saudis getting shot of them once they’ve got their feet under the table.

Alaways remember: Newcastle are Newcastle...and they'll always be Newcastle. Losers.

They're the Digger Barnes of the football world.
