Depending on how much threat we’re in before January will probably determine the money available. Even in the very unlikely situation we did, we’d be straight back up.

I've been thinking something similar and it would be peak NUFC for it to happen too. 7 months of relentlessly negative backlash from fans and owners of other clubs and it wouldn't be the greatest surprise in the world if they did a U-turn and got out before ploughing in serious investment.

UncleBingo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 1 hour ago, TRon said: Personally I found the poster of the arab beheading the magpie being flown by the palace fans a lot more offensive than some geordies wearing a tea towel on their heads. Indeed. Can only imagine the outrage if they were holding up a banner with caricatures of people from other nations on it. Given the amount of Arab money slushing around in London, the hypocrisy is off the scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Twitter is a terrible like, Newcastle fans giving Jamie Reuben pelters for saying an improved performance today. Its almost like they expected us to steam roll Palace today because Bruce is gone. By all accounts, it was an improved performance, despite some poor individual performances at least we looked like we knew what was expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was an improved result, but not an improved performance. We had 25% possession, and one single worthwhile shot. They should have been out of sight.

I wonder whether it’s more likely that the pressure from the other Premier League clubs and particularly the ‘Big 6’ will result in the Premier League expelling us at some point. They will claim that we breached the separation between PIF and the Saudi Arabian state or will change the Owners and Directors test to include provisions relating to Human Rights and apply it retrospectively. The American owners in particular want to protect their investments at all costs and have shown quite clearly in almost joining a Super League from which they could never be demoted and suggesting that the ‘Big 6’ should be able to outvote everyone else that they want to significantly limit all competition.
