Guest firetotheworks Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 A Liverpool fan friend of mine just told me that "Newcastle were one of the richest clubs in England the 90s", in the middle of a "money doesn't buy success" tirade. Is that true? I know you were actually one of the top clubs in England (money-wise) in the 2000s, but not too sure before that. I'd hazard a guess at that being right, yeah.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 According to Deloitte we were the 5th richest in the world in '97-98. We came back onto the list in the other CL years, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Can anyone do a Best XI of recently active managers? So for example you could have players such as Seedorf, Guardiola, Laudrup, Blanc, van Basten in there because they've recently managed at clubs. Preferably an XI without Maradona as that makes it a bit boring Current manager and half decent player in their time XI Preud'homme (Brugge) Karanka (Boro) - de Boer (Ajax) - Mihajlović (Samp) Enrique (Barça) - Deschamps (France) - Simeone (Atleti) - Cocu (PSV) Mancini (Inter) Palermo (Arsenal de Sarandi) - Klinsmann (USA) Bench of: Zola, Bruce, Strachan, Montella and Montanier In mildly related news Doriva, the old Boro gadgy is Vasco da Gama manager these days. Just an extra thought on this, you could technically have Zidane in there too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
