What's rather strange is that when they sell talented young players, more often than not these individuals actually succeed more at the new club.

Corky Posted 1 August 2023 Share Posted 1 August 2023 Newcastle's ticket policy is interesting, to say the least. Fans in a ballot could pay up to £74 with no choice in the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludicrous that they loaned out Colwill and signed Cucerella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous prices as well. Quick scan of their forum seems to have many up in arms about this and one or two thinking of pulling their membership or not bothering. Really does stink if you can't even choose where you want to sit. Glad they're so against this tbh, part of me thought that the fans have been drinking the Saudi kool aid so much they'd defend this.

During their time as a youth player at Chelsea they will be on enough money that they will be set up for life if they don't make it. Suspect high profile 16 year olds are on more than £10k a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said above, it seems that a decent chunk of their fans are pretty pissed off by it which is refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggers Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 Any Geordie who isn’t already watching Gateshead as a matter of principal deserves price gouging. No sympathy for any of them still prepared to support Execution FC. Fvckum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 Interesting seeing some of the noise around clubs like West Ham and Wolves this summer. Feels like a few clubs falling into a similar spot to us, FFP has clearly done its job of protecting the big clubs. Think they'll both have enough to stay up given the strength of the bottom of the Prem next season, but certainly not a rosy outlook. I feel like more and more clubs are going to have to try and adopt a Brentford type model, but the gap between the big 7 and the rest is only going to grow.

Wolves certainly seem to have hit the same glass ceiling as us. With the way Villa are chucking money around on players with massive wages, they will be in big trouble soon too as they are raising nothing from selling players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
