I agree, at this moment they are ok.@Marius57 Had a look at recent years of the Newcastle financial reports and compared to ours they have nothing to worry about.
During the Covid seasons they posted losses of 26 and 14 million compared to us we lost over 100 million per season.
At this moment in time they have no issues to investigate.
Mate at least 16 clubs in this league and Wrexham have overtaken us as a serious football club.Is it time to finally admit that the Geordies have overtaken us a serious football club?
After one year????Is it time to finally admit that the Geordies have overtaken us a serious football club?
Are you saying we are currently a serious football club?After one year????
Overtaken in what sense? More money and investment yes but they are just a year in since they where in the relegation zone, so a bit early to judge. Potentially yes they will be better than us.Are you saying we are currently a serious football club?
It hurts I know. We love to lampoon the Geordies, but they're in far better shape than us. The 'finally' bit I refer to is that many do not want to admit it.
They're streets ahead of us.
It's not just about transfer fees .
Our wages to turnover ratio has been the highest in the premier league for years now.
Which is unbelievable considering how many players are out on loan and the absolute state of our disjointed squad. Going back to Man City haven't they been under investigation for something like 8 or 9 years ? There is now a league within a league, those who can spend what they like and those that can't spend at all.
But under the Ashley years they never posted losses and even posted small profits.
They have a 3 year window now which will be helped by Champions League football which will increase commercial revenue.
They will engineer inflated commercial deals on the back of this.
Our commercial team has been the absolute worst in the Prem for about 20 years now.We done the same thing or tried to with USM, but we know why that fell apart. But even that wasn't enough our owners / board just weren't imaginative enough and we never grew commercially. A full clear out of Chairman, board and commercial team was needed, but someone wouldn't let go and our owner was never reigned in the rest is history.
Maybe they are just decent footballers in a rich vein of form and playing well as a unit.
