  1. How is that their fault though? Would you like it if our owners just flaunted the rules to buy the Real Madrid squad and win us the CL immediately only to see it taken off us after years of legal proceedings for breaking the rules? Hell, they have the funds to do it. If that's what they were after, they might as well have bought Real Madrid itself, and let us drift aimlessly under Ashley...
  2. Why would you blame the owners of our club for playing by the rules, while at the same time challenging them, sometimes publicly and also no doubt behind closed doors? I think that is worth applauding them for, and Man City, PSG, Chelsea and the like deserve criticism and penalising for breaking the rules. Also the "throwing money around is easy argument" is lazy. Our owners have put in place competent people and vastly increased the number of people we have working in vital areas like the commercial department, scouting, player conditioning, etc. They're building us from the ground up, because there was basically just a skeleton of a Premier League club when they arrived. As for infrastructure, those plans take time. I really don't see how anybody in their right mind could look at what's been achieved in the less than three years since the takeover and think these owners are not committed. Have you already forgotten what "not committed" looks like after enduring it for 14 years?
  3. I've not seen any sign to suggest our owners aren't committed to us becoming the best we can be. They've invested the best part of 400m (on top of the 300m it cost to buy us) to date, they are working on plans for a new or developed stadium, they are working on a new training ground and if it wasn't for a set of artificial rules they no doubt would have invested more. They are doing everything you could reasonably have wished for when we were crying out for a change of ownership a few years ago.
  4. This. In any case clubs in SA shouldn't make their transfer business dependent on how it may affect Newcastle United. It's nonsensical to think this way.
  5. Nobody said he's shite. Just not a generational talent, as in clearly on his way to becoming a world beater.
  6. You could have, but then we could call hundreds of young players all over the world "generational talents". I mean, that term to me signifies level of future ballon d'or winner. A bit early to suggest Chris Rigg is on that level, innit?
  7. What's happening with this kid? Not going out on loan? He turns 20 this month. Surely needs some first team football if he's going to amount to anything?
  8. Bellingham (the real one) is a generational talent. Chris Rigg is a Sunderland player in the English Championship.
