Number 6 Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 Very congested table this season. Those who started well have tailed off and others at the bottom are now picking up results. Crazy after our start that were only 4 points off Brighton and 3 off the top half. Games in hand skew it a bit but the two games after Man City could see us looking ok going into the world cup break. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioFox Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 Luke Ayling unironically high-fiving his team-mate for putting a shot five yards wide at 1-1 is the most 'coached by an American' thing I've seen in all my time watching Premier League footy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazzyfox Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 Fulham look vibrant again but Leeds?? Where did that performance v Arsenal come from, maybe it’s an analysis thing and they’ve been sussed out now but luckily for us if Fulham and Bournemouth keep picking up points we need some others to struggle, Leeds, Wolves and Villa starting to fit the role.

fuchsntf Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 Newcastle are the Newboys on the block…. West Ham & Leicester have had their go, might even comeback for more. Newcastle more than the 2 previous have more financial clout & a new breeze is blowing…Interesting season with gale winds, or just big puffs of expectation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ALC Fox Posted 23 October 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 23 October 2022 Honestly, f**k Newcastle. They're doing well, playing good football, with a decent coach and some likeable players. But f**k 'em. Every time they play anyone while they're under this ownership, I want them to lose, no matter who they play. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All massively funded by foreign money being invested in a business for profit. No club succeeds without massive investment. There is no "elite". It's just big bucks financing success and reaping profit from their investment. The investors aren't in it for the love of football or the club they finance. They're in it for the money. Simple as.

Simple as. that was my point. The op was saying that newcastle were challenging the elite and i was pointing out that theres no difference between them. Personally i respect clubs like spurs, arsenal and liverpool far more because they’ve earnt their place rather than just throwing money until it sticks. If newcastle just gradually grew into a top 6 team and then got money i’d 100% be routing for them. But i don’t see why anyone would want them to. They will just be another man city over time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 24 October 2022 Share Posted 24 October 2022 Newcastle are by far and away the richest football club in the world. I think the other 91 clubs English league clubs combined owner wealth would struggle to surpass them. However the unique thing about the Premier League is how competitive it is, compared to other leagues. In one way, once you’re a Billionaire, you’re a Billionaire. Barnsley, Sunderland, Salford, WBA, Stoke, QPR, PNE and Bristol City all have wealthier owners than us, yet they don’t have a seat at the top table. Football is nothing without the fans and you need the fans otherwise it’s just run pot. At least Newcastle have that. Forbes have “Top” as the 494th richest person in the world. A big drop off from 2019. His wealth dropped from $5.9m to $1.7m (suspected today according to them). https://www.forbes.com/profile/aiyawatt-srivaddhanaprabha/?sh=36edf68d712e https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/ One of the main reasons for the drop off in wealth is the pandemic, which has seen turnover for the King Power group decline. I’d expect that to increase again, now that tourism is increasing. 2021 €512 2020 €907 2019 €2,670 2018 €2,428 2017 €2,141 2016 €2,003 2015 €1,971 2014 €1,179 2013 €1,122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that he would be in many ways a continuity appointment. However, I could never get excited about having a manager who completely neglects one side of the game. He makes Rodgers look like Simeone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
