If we get a couple of signings this month. Otherwise that's out as well.
Tank is on empty. We need additions desperately.

Bruno is brilliant, I love him, but he needs to either be more defensively disciplined or for Longstaff or Miley to play in his position in a more disciplined way.
There is constantly a big hole between our midfield and defence, where Bruno should be, and it makes us so easy to play through. It's been the same all season.
He isn't disciplined enough to play DM we need to sign one badly.

I love Howe and will defend him against doylems overly criticising him despite the squad being ravaged but Pep is clear of him, absurd to suggest otherwise
Just spending money and having top players isn't automatically a recipe for success
It's baffling that we are in 2024 and people still don't realise what an insanely immense coach Pep is
I don't deny Peps tactical ability - that's where Eddie has still more to learn. But as a coach - it's unreal what Eddie has done to this squad.

It does take some balls and vision to put together a side which passes teams to death putting skill above height and physicality mind. I mean peak Barcelona might just have been money or maybe there was more to it than that?
Messi?

This season has been incredibly frustrating, we have (potentially) a fucking brilliant team with genuine options to bring off the bench but we've never been able to do that this at any point for various reasons. The injuries, and I hate to keep banging on about them as it sounds such a weak and pitiful excuse, but they've killed this season. Howe's had pretty much no options from one game to the next and we've suffered, he gets that pass.
However, I'm absolutely pig sick of seeing 3 opposition players standing in the middle of the 13 yard trench that's between the back 4 and the midfield 5 when we drop into our formation. It became very obvious in Milan (A) and it's been there ever since. That gap has been there for months, it's been obvious and it's now getting exploited every single game. He needs to do something to stagger the midfield or let Schar into that zone as it's killing us every week. It's obtuse to watch it and not rectify or address it, fuck's sake change it up a bit. I hate losing but doing nothing about clear weaknesses and being done again and again isn't great management on any level.
We need a DM badly and have done since last season. Phillips would fill that role perfectly (**based on his Leeds form as he hasn't played for two years)

Personally I think Eddie is twice the coach Pep is. Pep has managed the best players in the world, managed the best teams in the world, was able to spend the biggest budget in the world. Surprise he won lots of titles. Eddie managed a group a players who were fighting relegation season after season and turned them into a Champions League team. If we had our full squad today we would have won - KDB basically bailed them out. Was nothing Pep did other than bring him on.
-
City's bench won them the game and our lack of a bench lost us the same - without investment Eddie's hands are tied.

Without FFP different story.
Without City cheating FFP it's a different story. PL we are still waiting - evidence is in the public domain.

I think 3 of them were offside for it. Linesman done well, he was just playing to the new rules. Only reason he decided to flag early after that, was because Ederson wouldn't have got injured if he'd just raised his flag straight away in the first place.
Didn't do the same for City - a few times Walker looked offside.
-
After disallowed first goal the lineman kept flagging us off side after that rather than let us play to the whistle - didn't do the same for City.

He's World class, our best player for me.

Was Isak offside for the disallowed goal? Did VAR even check it? I noticed the lineman kept flagging us off side after that rather than let us play to the whistle - corrupt as out.

Well that waza kicker. We were poor in the second half
-
Palmer just cost me 4 points with that yellow

The media campaign that appears to be underway is making a lot of noise. Hope it’s intend to make the competition regulators take note and launch an investigation.
I hope the Saudi's are using their influence on the government to have a little word.

It you take it back to its apparent main use case, then the maximum loss not being increased can be justified. Just because transfer fees increase doesn't mean you should be encouraging clubs to spend further beyond their means and getting in trouble, if they don't have the money.
Unfortunately there is no distinction made between clubs whose owners have the money and can invest, and those who don't have it and would spend irresponsibly. It's clearly by design though, and completely stinks. They've looked at Man City and Chelsea and went "we don't want another one of those" privately, and "we don't want another Portsmouth or Leeds" publicly.
Club's like Man U probably wrote the rules

It doesn’t take much to get some peoples knickers in a twist.
The club look at hundreds of players and they will also know the squad needs some filling out, unless you want to see Ritchie etc in the bench again next season, so there could well be additions at good prices that aren’t straight into the first 11.
It's not his lack of ability It's his I injury record. We want to sign players we can actually play
-
Zero chance of top 4 if we don't invest this month. 5th maybe

Stop all this crying about FFP for goodness sake.
We have good people in charge that have been excellent in getting good players in.
It's all going to be navigated just fine and dare I say much better than the majority of other clubs.
We'll navigate it better in that the club will make sure they don't breach it. But as a club I think we should refuse to just accept what is an in just system.

I have just woke this morning with a feeling we are going to win. I feel super positive about it.

Howay PIF use this spot light to take UEFA and PL to court. The rules need changing.

Trust Newcastle to go from the tightest owner in the world who was free to spend whatever he wanted, to the richest owner in the world who can't spend.

Over the last few weeks our problem has been our defensive line has pushed up too high. How many goals have we conceded where Burn has gone high and got caught out. If we had a DM to sit in that whole KDB just wouldn't have had the space he did. Bruno just hasn't the discipline to do it.
