wormy Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Considering the uproar, I'll be very interested to see how transfer negotiations go with PL clubs. Could be quite a struggle until the anger dies down; asking prices will be astronomical by default. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Everton probably squealing because they wasted their FFP allowance on tat and are now scraping the barrel (albeit pretty well) and fearing their position if we spend well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link here in case you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSRCVB6y5RE PS: Please do delete mods if this isn't the place to be posting about it. okay, so watched the video. Think you could have painted the picture better about why Ashley was hated here. Wasn’t really described in chronological order and there were things missing, though I appreciate it was a fairly long video, you’re a new YouTuber, and English isn’t your first language. There were a number of slight factual in accuracies in the video too. For example, there wasn’t really a change of ethos for Chelsea under Frank Lampard, it was something that was forced up on them due to the transfer ban. Perhaps I’m being slightly nit picky but I’m just trying to help. Overall I thought your video was and actually well intentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger maybe in terms of titles and trophies, especially in recent history, but the Premier League is where the riches lie. The TV deal, sponsorships, audiences all dwarf Serie A. If they want to either make money, or do their ‘sportswashing’, then Newcastle will undoubtedly be the ‘top’ club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send Kane out on loan there to keep him match fit incase Mbappe gets injured. Would be harsh on Haaland if we were to put him in the reserves just so Kane can take his spot on the bench.

Amazing how quickly (some) people look on the down-side of everything, even things that have not happened, automatically 'imagining' an unlikely worst-case scenario.

Manxst Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 IF it happened, then imo it’s simply the same as the Red Bull club umbrella, or the City group (albeit in a grander scale). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Plus, they’ve been in financial difficulties for the last few years (hence the continued rumours of a takeover and selling off best players like Lukaku). Unlike ourselves, no firm bid has ever been reported in that time, when a takeover would’ve been easily passed compared to our own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Wow, we really are damaged as a fan base. Ashley has really done a number on us. This time last week, it broke that Saudi and Bein had kissed and made up. 7 days ago and now NUFC fans are clamouring for Bruce to be sacked, complaining that Lampard may be the new manager, wanting Ragnick as DOF even though most hadn't heard of him and now its over with PIF as a paper has put out they may be interested in Milan. Ignore the papers, the last 18 months have proved that they dont know shit and will fling anything and any name hoping it will stick. Just enjoy the new ride with destination and timeline unknown! Its got to be better than the Ashley ride! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
