Popular Post Parafox Posted 17 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 17 October 2021 48 minutes ago, BenTheFox said: There's a reason they bought Newcastle and not say a West ham, Arsenal or Tottenham. With Newcastle they can pump money into the area and be seen to be doing good so that everyone will look away from the atrocities. Typical sportswashing shite and seeing the amount of twats already wearing towels on their heads and robes shows that it's already in operation. **** 'um I was quite ambivalent about NUFC but now, I realise that those Geordie twats that are happy with the buy out, are simple minded twats. Imagine wanting a knob like Ashley out to be replaced by a regime from Saudi Arabia. Fools. Be careful what you wish for. Money is one thing, self respect and honesty is another. If they'd taken over our club, I'd walk away. Fortunately we have the owners we have. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know normally Europa league teams play the following Sunday but considering we play Wednesday it was still doable. True, getting a little lost with all these Sunday games and if we’re on TV or not. I was sure this one was but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 We play Newcastle late on in the season, within the last five games….. we could play a huge part in relegating them if they are still down there come April…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 It just looks so grim at the bottom - Norwich look down already, Newcastle look shite - and even with money I really can’t see who goes there, either as a manager or player. Burnley look aweful, as do Leeds, Southampton and Watford. For those six it will be a long slog this season. The amazing thing for me is that 3 of those sides will stay up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 We know you can't just chuck money at something and by magic it works. Newcastle fans and owners need to be in it for the long haul. Sky make me laugh. Pundits and fans talking like they are Man City now they have pressed the new owner button. The team on the field is still shite. Nothing changed there.

Leicesterpool Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 I can imagine Newcastle will look to bring in three players in January but will that be enough. Plus luring players to a bottom three club is never easy. My guess they'll look at trying to get dele Ali, jessie lingard and maybe forward on loan .

I can see some of the older superstars, looking for one last big payday, heading there. The likes of Bale, Suarez and Ibrahamovic. Whether they can do the business in a relegation battle, is another matter. And if they do stay up then they'll attract plenty of young talent.

Wait until January...its far Too early....enough Time for some of those Teams to turn it around.. Though with Norwich they haven t got much in the cupboard to call on... Really I Dont care, I prefer to concentrate on our efforts & teams in the Top half, and how high we can pull ourselves. Unlike some haughty fans,I like Burnley,they have that Spirit & effort in them & will fight every game... If you like, they carry the Banner of how we used to be...WBA,Stoke,Wolves......put in weekly/monthly/season, endeavour Hope to push for those 14-8 posiitions, & Slip around those relegation spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they’ll attract the wrong kind of players, especially in January. It’s a pretty dire situation they’re in, because if they can’t turn it around, it could all start to go a little bit silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bale maybe, but his injuries in the North East is Michael Owen all over again for them. The other two you mentioned no chance on Earth they go to Newcastle.

CosbehFox Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 After being told the December PL fixtures confirmed today, another morning passes without update. That's a week later now.

Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 With Newcastle (H) seemingly moving to Sunday 12th December & Spurs moving to Wednesday 15th December, I hope they leave Villa away at Saturday 3pm!!

fuchsntf Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 I just want to say...outside our own Older Statesman Vardy, Nacho..he who came out of the cold, and now the young Attacka-Daka....I We all know about Kane... I have come to Enjoy watching Salah, He s been Scoring over a few seasons now, his arrogance is balanced. He Scores from all angles & finds a way from awkward, difficult positions he has that JV audacity no ball is lost ..he is a joy to watch... After digesting LCFC news, I like to watch how his game-Days have panned out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a huge gamble to go there, knowing you could be relegated and stuck in the championship next season. Looking ahead to the rest of the reason, for any teams playing them this takeover is going to act as an extra incentive to put their all in. In the meantime Newcastle aren't going to be attracting any top managers if things become delicately poised, whilst if Steve Bruce stays he's not exactly going to be 100% committed knowing what his fate will be at the season. Obviously there's very little to go on at the moment, but I can't help thinking they have already messed up in not backing SB at least publicly for the time being, and that they are underestimating how hard it will be to get top players to join them in the short term.

mancunianfox Posted 18 October 2021 Share Posted 18 October 2021 Under FFP can't you only increase your wage bill by a certain amount per season? Isn't this going to be a massive problem for Newcastle in the same way it has been for us, Wolves and Villa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the reason we couldn’t compete on wages for players after winning the league because our wages had been so low beforehand and you could only increase it year on year by 7%. Newcastle could in theory sign Mbappe on a free and pay him £1m a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
