Its a waste of time I mean it’ll be impossible to build a revenue base even close to the big lads now that FFP clamps down on everyone trying to go nuts trying to get in. It’s just impossible. It wasn’t that long ago those sums were deemed to be crazy for a season. Now they get you a player. in a sense, I hope the coming financial collapse brings back football to its roots, but unfortunately clubs will die and it’s going to hurt people that probably need football to cheer them up as their personal finances go to shit really fast. I guess it will at least bring a reset of sorts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a waste of time The only hope is that teams like United seem to be spending it badly. We on other hand can't afford any misses, and should probably sell our players to them for hugely inflated fees (eg: Maguire) and buy better players for less. It's incremental but that seems to be the only way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Phillips auClair on the Guardian podcast said that Newcastle have spent more in 2022 than any other club have ever spent in one year.

And looking like we won't get much more over the line before deadline either. Still time I suppose, but I feel that the club isn't liking the prices right now.

As you’d expect for a side with successive top 8 finishes. Their poor start to the season is reminiscent of how Arsenal did the previous year. The top 8 will become its own elite pool when said clubs cannot afford to break into the top 6 consistently. The league is greatly unbalanced by the financial powers of certain clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Newcastle have no one of value to sell in other words, they've pushed their deadwood out of the door quietly rather than sold them to Bournemouth and Sheffield Utd for £20m a pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
