I don't think you'll find a Newcastle fan who doesn't want to see us building on a sound financial footing. And all of the sensible ones fully accept we're not in the position to be spending silly money right now.
Your club is doing it right. Imagine if after all those years of hating Ellis, Lerner came in and regardless of the managerial issues, spent precisely fuck all on new players. Would you be happy? I doubt it.
That's different though, we had a massive hangover to deal with from Shepherd's time in charge. The squad is thin as we're finding out now, but the first 11 have improved, we were never out to completely overhaul the squad this summer imo. We had a gradual plan in place, the last thing they Ashely and co wanted to do was rush in and buy for the sake of it. That's the whole point of their 'plan'' as it were.
