LondonLax Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 They have been annoyingly sensible with the running of the club so far. They are not going to make a rash decision a put the club in turmoil by sacking the manager after a few very difficult fixtures. They probably got Champions League earlier than expected so Howe will have plenty of leeway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one? A homeless person holding a tin cup is more fit and proper than Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Due to the amount Chelsea have spent, Newcastle’s spending never gets mentioned in the media. They have a net spend of close to £400m since Howe has been in charged. We have a net spend of about £70m since Emery has been Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty "normal" amount to spend these days for a top-half side. Teams get, what, £140m a season for just existing in the Premier League?

Most clubs wage bills will be more than the £140m they get form the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot, but I don't think it's a surprising amount given that they were (as far as I know), in profit prior to the Saudi takeover and are making a lot of money for just existing in the league. Whereas Chelsea spending £900m in a year (or whatever the amount is) seems to be surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the money they’ve spent they lost one player in Botman yesterday and it had a massive effect on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2023 They are one point worse off when compared to the exact same fixtures from last season. They drew 0-0 with Brighton away last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Yes but they had no champions league they will lose more games this year than last year i think. Be hilarous if they miss out on qualifying fron groups then have to go europa have all those games and then lose there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out he’s spent a lot more on the squad he inherited compared to what Emery has. Surely he was in similar position to what DS was though? They were basically Everton when he took over. DS net spend here was off the scale until we sold Grealish. He's done really well there, now this is a test (especially if they flop a bit in CL) but then perhaps finishing 3rd and having a serious go at winning Europa might be their best route back into CL next season.

Is not that many big name managers about, Zidane maybe Poch if he leaves Chelsea soon Not sure the fans would take to a Mourinho/Conte type Zidane won’t go near them, he has no interest in managing in England.

duke313 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Be interesting to see how they cope with CL football, their squad really has no depth. I know we have Euro football too, but our games are piss easy compared to theirs. We can rest a lot of players on Thursdays. bottom of their group and sitting midtable come December would be interesting Edited September 3, 2023 by duke313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
