Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official

Recommended Posts

See Carragher was speaking nonsense about the potential takeover. He reckons that regardless of how much money we have backing us up we'll struggle to even break into the top six. So Leicester can come from nowhere to win the league, which granted is never likely to happen again, but they are now currently on course to finish top four for the second time, but that is supposedly close to impossible for Newcastle. Look it's going to take a fair few seasons to build ourselves up again, but if the right people in terms of football director, commercial executives, board members, manager etc are put in place there's no reason we can't continually grow. Maybe we can't spend like Man City did and Chelsea did when Abramovic first came in, but depending on how loose they are going to be with FFP rules post Covid, it might not take us that long to bring in the right type of players. Enough money and the right manager with a good rep behind him to attract players is half the battle. In any case I'd like to see us built up with up and coming players like the Dortmund and or Leipzig model. Maybe I am being a bit naive, but then again maybe Carragher just doesn't want more competition for Liverpool.

He's just doing his job man, talking shite and getting paid for it. Like most pundits tbh.

And the problem is that "edgy" and or controversial opinions are incentivised in this click bait nightmare we're living in. Never has it been more profitable to be a moronic bloat, i.e the entire Talksport presenting staff.

Independent saying the fit and proper tests could be completed as soon as some time next week, maybe as some have suggested they've been going on for at least a week already. And that the sale could be fully completed by the end of April. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/newcastle-united-takeover-saudi-arabia-mike-ashley-amanda-staveley-epl-a9469211.html

Steve McClaren - Rafa Benitez - Steve Bruce - Rafa Benitez has to be the most mental sequence of managers I think it’s possible to achieve. Could get whiplash from the differences in ability.

:lol:
Go back three more managers and your head will snap clean off.

I think the last sentence is the crux of it. We are going to get an absolute pasting off the press as worry sets in that the media darlings may have another contender for their ‘top six’, fully expect it to become a ‘top seven’ of this lot spend and progress as we hope as they’ll not want to state any of their favorites to not be part of the elite group. 
 

I can see it taking a while regardless of backing, and it’ll likely be a targeting of young high potential players to grow the club, then use increased fund availability and growing standing to hold onto them. I think the Leipzig reference is a good one, with the additional bonus of being able to spend more than them due to the higher income of PL sides.

:lol: Remember how fucking hopeless it all felt when the rumoured takeovers fell through, and Rafa left to go to China. I genuinely don’t know how I’m going to feel if this all goes through and in walks Benitez with wads of dosh backing him to sign who he wants and do a complete overhaul of our facilities. Fucking hell man we might actually be rid of Mike Ashley!

i've been quietly confident that ashley finally wanted out since the turn of the year. the pandemic has just forced his hands and he is exiting sooner than he might have done - and not on his terms. Which is nice

If Man U or Liverpool ended up struggling to keep out of the bottom three clubs there'd be a 'top 17'.
