Aye, the Glazers have never backed the managers... 31 players have been bought who cost over £20m in that time (including Pogba, Mkhitaryn, Bailly, Lukaku, Matic, Lindelof, Sanchez, Fred, Maguire, Fernandez, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Van Persie, Berbatov, Anderson, Mata, Fellaini, Di Maria, Shaw, Herrera, Martial, Schneiderlin, Depay etc etc all costing many times over £20m!). It’s obviously all the Glazer’s fault, and not at all the various managers and recruitment teams in that time....laughable.

Best and most accurate post on here for donkeys. Except for the fact it’s proven the PL only answer to the Big 6, and not heir shareholders, given all the secret meetings and communications that have occurred recently. Hardly most accurate post at all.

Sancho for 44m? Don’t Dortmund want 110m? We bid £91m for Sancho. Dortmund wanted £108m. Just saying if he have the money to be buying Traore for £27m we could have easily afforded Sancho. Just means to me that you can’t afford 110? Don’t see how spending 27 on Traore means you can put extra towards Sancho. You’re not getting them both, so can’t include both amounts.

Sancho for 44m? Don’t Dortmund want 110m?

African you say? Why’s that then?

He failed a medical, but we would still sign him? Righto.

A back up for £35m. How the big boys live.

Thiago was in his final year of contract and had told Bayern he wasn’t signing a new one.

What's that in relation to? Who has said that they are '100% certain' about something ? ‘Puke’ Edwards?

Didnt he go out on loan? They only signed him on 27th August. I don’t think he’s gone out on loan, although could be wrong.

Malang Sarr also at CB

Lowest paid MD in the PL....

Arsenal even sacked their staff whilst paying/bidding transfer fees....

Bruce is. It’s in the article earlier. Not the Kuyt bit, obviously....but it wouldn’t surprise me. Along with Brett Emerton.

So the scouts arent working, and Bruce has to do scouting himself. Plus any targets we did have (presumably as a result of scouting by actual scouts) are now going to be rescouted in Winter. Keeping our powder dry etc etc.

Chilwell & Thiago Silva. Malang Sarr also, from Nice.

Hmmm....yeah....but £12m vs. £3.5m.... Lol!

The PL would have insurance, surely, for such an eventuality?

From Rockers post on pg55

They’ve just bought/are buying Werner, Ziyech, and Havertz, all for big money, and seemingly want a LB also. Can’t see Lampard splashing another big fee on a CB who they let go in the first place?

Release clause, plus any PL team can pay wages higher than Ajax. He’s been there 19 years and maybe needs to test himself elsewhere (or get more money).

I would probably still pick Saudis ahead of most others tbh. If they're good enough partners for our govt, Amanda and the Reuben bros, they are good enough for me. Exactly these journalists now preaching we should be wary of their motives can f*** off. I’d happily see them purchase the club without passing the test, and then just fold the club to f*** off the PL. These journalists would be better off investigating which clubs are actively pulling Masters strings to prevent this and also what extent Bein are medalling behind the scenes. I’d say you’d be more of an idiot to continue to want Sports Direct FC to represent our great city, in a league who clearly would only value us as being continued cannon fodder for the big 6. But each to there own I’m sure you’ll be amongst the thousands who continue to rock up and happily take it up the arse. Most of those who are against the takeover probably don't attend games anyway. Some of them might be actual moral objectors. Although they'll probably happily join millions of others in marvelling at football played by clubs like Chelsea and City with their angelic owners. And most of the people in favour of the takeover has no idea who MBS is or what he has done and are willing to do to get what he wants. Don't get me wrong, I would love Newcastle to have bottomless pits of money and compete with the best in the world. But I don't want MBS as our owner. Doesn't mind Amanda Stavely or the Reuben brothers though, think they could be good owners without PIF. Has it taken you 16 weeks to realise MBS is no angel ? You should apply to the PL for a job, I think you’d fit the criteria there looking for. So you either like MBS and what he stands for or you just don't give a s*** and want Newcastle to get his money. I'm more worried what he could do to Newcastle when/if he looses interest. How would he react the day the fans will drive him out as with Ashley right now. He could build a theme park on Barrack road for all I care if this doesn’t got through. When the PL start caring about ethics and applying it across all areas of their business then I might consider it a valued argument. I'm with you on that. I think if the Premier League reject our takeover they should look at all Premier League clubs owners. There are quite a few owners that should not be allowed I think. And what would they do with them if they said they weren’t appropriate? Make them sell up? How quick? For how much? To whom? Ban the club from the PL? But that's all that's happening now. Ownership values is either a rule or it isn't. The present bidders would meet UK standards for Directors of limited company. It is the EPL that is setting higher standards.....for new entrants only. As you say- for new entrants. There’s no way anything could be enforced if they decide current owners contravene new entry tests!
