I knew it would'nt take them long, I see they are already getting twitchy with Stavely over the fact that Bruce might still be in charge on Sunday.

They can spend unlimited on the stadium and training ground but any sponsorship has to be of fair market value. IE they can’t get a 500 million sponsorship for the toilets.
They still have a limit on what they can spend because of FFP, where as City and Chelsea could spend unlimited. The prices of players they want will be very high

There was no major fuss when we were taken over because in the grand scheme of things Moshiri's fortune is very small fry. Newcastle's owners are about 15x richer than City and backed by an entire country.
It won't happen overnight, can't see the huge names joining them without CL football for example, but they'll spend so much money it'll be almost impossible not to win the big pots eventually.
Oh are they on telly this weekend?
I look forward to Sky going balls deep on them now they have money

What an utterly weird article. Did any of this even remotely happen?

Rival clubs snub Newcastle and slam £305m Saudi takeover
There has been strong opposition by the likes of Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham, with one executive saying it all comes back to the 'green eyes monster' and 'self-interest'.

I'd be happy if they gave us a bit of money to take Rodgers. Overall he's done a good job here but I reckon it's time for a freshen up of new ideas. It's all gone a bit stale. Think he'd jump at the chance as well

The call happened but not for the reason it says in the article, the clubs where told there would be no decision till after the court ruling in Jan, that was 3 or 4 days before they got taken overWhat an utterly weird article. Did any of this even remotely happen?

No idea but I really don’t see how clubs like City, Chelsea and even us can claim to be opposing the takeover on moral grounds. It’s definitely going to make the top 4 a closed shop but what can you do? City, Chelsea and Utd are already in a different league in terms of what they can offer financially.What an utterly weird article. Did any of this even remotely happen?

I think he'd be a tool to leave Leicester.
I know you've started quite sloppy this season but he's twice been a stones throw away from the CL, has been backed (as far as I can see) and doesn't seem to be put under any kind of massive pressure from the board.
On the whole, you play decent togger, have a decent set up, and your infrastructure and how you are run is how a lot of clubs should do it.
Newcastle are an absolute basket case of a club.
I suspect for Leicester your backroom set up and infrastructure are probably more important to keep / evolve.

But that isn't a fact. People keep pushing the argument that we've spent poorly and wasted money, but then it's a guarantee that Newcastle won't do the same?

I agree, but aren't we part of the same multi-headed monster that is the Premier League? Russian oligarchs are hardly an example for our kids. We probably don't know half of what Usmanov has done back in the day...
To me, any sport should always be played on a amateur-level. All profits should be reinvested in the game (youth-programs & upkeep) or go to the government (which is us).
The game is not that important.
Rodgers is all about Rodgers.
Look at the way he jumped ship at Celtic.
One sniff of a massive pay rise, a load of transfer money and he`ll be off like a shot.
Plus Newcastle is full of tanning salons and places to get your Turkey teeth done.
