Froggy Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I know you're talking to him but I most certainly don't. Newcastle is a wonderful club under pathetic ownership, just like us. Is the main issue with the Glazers hiring/keeping Ed Woodward? The main issue is the Glazers taking over £1billion out of the club since they took over. Woodward knows nothing about football. He knows everything about money. He's going nowhere under the Glazers. They love him. Newcastle and us are similar in a way. Ashley is happy to spend enough to keep you in the Premier League and couldn't give a fuck about anything further. Same goes with the Glazers and the Champions League. Our sponsorship money takes a massive hit if we finish outside of the CL spots. It's a poisoned chalice. As the article said earlier, "we're bloody Man United." Jadon Sancho, one of the world's brightest talents and already a class player, was available for £108m and was wanting to join the club. Man City went out and dropped £100m+ on two defenders. If the Glazers hadn't crippled us financially deals like that are a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 So the main gripe is that Man Utd, who have spent nearly a billion pounds on players since 2013 are not spending enough money. My heart bleeds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Ole is a weird choice, but it's clear that the Glazers are happy with him. Somebody mentioned that Man U are similar to ourselves and I agree. Only Man U's minimum accepted level is higher than ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Starting eleven in their last game cost £410m, and included three academy graduates. But no, Ole hasn't been backed in the transfer market I'm not quite sure how that's relevant at all. We were already committed to buying Maguire and Wan-Bissaka before Ole had any say. The only signing on the pitch that was Ole's was Fernandes. You're acting like Ole spent £410m. He didn't. You're forgetting that the lack of crowds is 'huge' for them It's big for everyone but we have the second highest average attendance in Europe. To suggest it's not a factor is borderline retarded.

Rafalove Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 You're all a bunch of hypocrites based on all your points. Newcastle have won f*** all for 50 years. Stoke are a bigger club than Newcastle. This tbh. Real Madrid imo are bigger but not by much five of those champions leagues are a bit dodgy aswell Franco etc. I’d like to see how Real Madrid would be if they were owned by the Glazers You agree stoke are a bigger club than us?

Manxst Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best period under OGS came when there haven't been any crowds Old Trafford was such a fortress with crowds that you couldn't beat Burnley, Palace, Villa, Everton there last season Nope. Surely our best period under Ole was when he first came in and broke all the records? We are capable of losing with crowds also I will admit. The crowd matters. Madness to say otherwise.

Our fanbase pretty much invented the “ trophies don’t make you a big club”, argument so to then use it as an argument is a little bit hypocritical. Depends how many trophies. If Coventry win an FA cup one year, that doesn't make them a big club, but if a club is winning trophies consistently, then they are going to end up being one. It's not the only criteria though, as I've said before, I always thought of Leeds as a big club even if they were in the 3rd division purely because of their fanbase and having a successful team during periods of my lifetime.

Ben Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I think Man U have at least a top 4 squad, the manager has not got the best out of them, Poch or Bielsa would have them challenging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
